Swanning around with Katie trying to flog the sausages was embarassing. The scene in the Kebab shop was like something out of Fawlty Towers. And our cosmopolitan French speaker oh-so-sophisticated Katie? Completely clueless. Absolultely and completely out of touch with the real world. No wonder she was so good at talking to the artists. Mind you, I can talk to artist (as long I as I don't tell them I was ever a scientist for a living), but I can still add up and spot the obviously from more than a foot away

All that waffle about "take us into your world" would annoy the hell out of me..... |

We should stop talking about this eejit now, and deny him the oxygen of publicity, and let him slide off quietly into a future of permanent unemployment.

And Katie has the audacity to say that Paul was the only one with any brains in the house Meanwhile, Adam and Kristina are actually achieving something back on the stall, and yet they get dragged back into the boardroom

Katie and Paul deserve each other. All we need now is to get the gruesome Katie off the show (even though her audacity is entertaining). IMO Paul really showed himself up on Your Fired. All the other candidates have come across very well (even Rory) but I actually ended up disliking him more.

On a more serious note, if Paul made poor decisions like that on the battlefield, people would have lost their lives, and idiot would probably havr had the same attitude afterwards e.g. "I stand by my decisions... we could have won big but instead we lost big... We took a gamble... My team let me down.."
Ugh. Useless moron. |

See, what I still dont get is why he choose Kristina to go in.
Now, he was never going to take Katie in, and we can all accept that.. But surely, he would have been full aware of how much she wanted to annialate him. Ghazal would have been a far more suitable option.. |

Who do you think will make it to the final?
I would, excusing myself, choose to hire Naomi and Simon. The rest of them are big characters but would you really want them working with you? ^^ This is from the BBC site. He would employ Simon or Naomi and he has worked in HR? I can believe he would want the invisible one or a wind-up merchant, he has such fine judgement. |

He seemed totally mortified didn't he. As Siralan said, in the army he would be surrounded by people not telling him he was wrong.

He was only a Lieutenant, hardly the higher echelons of the army. It's fairly obvious now why he left the army at 26, as his superiors must have become entirely infuriated with him and his ridiculously arrogant demeanor.
He looks and acts like a slime, those shifty eyes. James Bond he aint.

Isn't Lieutenant the lowest grade for Sandhurst grads? He never got higher, so accountability must be kicking in with today's army. Arrogance is allowed if backed up by performance.

Literal translation - lieu = in place of - tenant = holder of.. (from french tener to have) i.e. a nothing post, a sort of deputy, a holding place for idiots while they grow up, the forces and their traditions are interesting if you observe management practice. |

Katie hasn't won
Watching Paul on you're fired last week I remember him saying that he had met Katie a few times since he left the program.
As far as I know the winner is revealed in real time i.e. not pre recorded. If that is true then Katie must no longer be in the program because she wouldn't be able to meet Paul if she was. Therefore she hasn't won. |

Complete and utter, snob, back-stabber and waste of space. In fact, he is Katie's perfect partner.
