I actually have more respect for Adam, week by week. He is clearly being ganged up on by everybody - Katie being the ringleader, and acting like a pathetic little child. But he seems to just ignore it and take it on the chin.
I went off Simon last night - previously I quite liked him, but I think he showed his true colours. I still like Tre - I mean, yes he is offensive, but he isn't a backstabber, and if he's got something to say, he will generally say it to your face. But my favourite at the moment is Kristina. She wasn't taken in by Katie (which is precisely why Katie didn't like her), and she's smart. She said from the beginning that selling cheese to the French would never work. She was also the one who went and found a cooker for the sausages, after which they started selling. |

Along with Adam, Lohit is my favourite now. He is just the sort of boss I would like to work for. Whether he could make it big in the cut-throat world of business remains to be seen - I just fear he is too nice. |

Adam hasn't done a thing to deserve the treatment his getting, it makes my blood boil, but thank goodness he has shown himself to resiliant thus far, as his reaction to their rudeness last night showed...good on him!

I hope Sir Alan will be able to see through the other team members tactics.
I agree with this and previous posters. I like Adam. I think he's comes over without pretension and appears honest. I think the problem the others have with Adam is that he has in their eyes the "wrong" accent and is from the "wrong" class. They are circling like vultures in an attempt to get him out. Just as they did in week one with Andy. It worked that time, it hasn't worked with Adam. I hope that SAS does make him project manager and I hope his team wins. It would be interesting to see how the vultures deal with being led by Adam. They would still want him out, but the only way would be to throw the task and that would surely put themselves at risk. |

As much as i like adam i don't think its to do with the fact that he's got a commonish northern accent.
ghazel's accent is far more common. tre, although not northern has a common accent too. |

i felt really sorry for adam last night, it was almost bullying. poor lad. i thought he made a concious effort last night to keep his head down and not p*ss people off, yet he still got trashed by them all. they're like vultures thinking he's an easy target, probably because of a mixture of his 'car salesman' background and his northerness. he's made of stronger stuff though! hope he goes far!

Reasons they keep putting him in the boardroom:
1. He's a threat to them all and they know it - three times he's beat the boardroom now, he must be doing something right 2. He's an easy target because he's not a fluffy, fake moron 3. They look down on him because of his accent and his job The only ones in this that are worth a light are Adam, Tre, Kristina and Lohit They should be the final four and if they're not, I'll be flaming well annoyed! |

The others are just relying on the stereotype that Northerners are thick. He's a lot more intelligent and astute than most of them. It's like the way they all slagged him off in the art task then he sold more than the rest of them. |

I think she is also very good at dripping poison in everybody else's ear. I suspect that Adam wouldn't appear to be as unpopular as he is if she wasn't slagging him off at every opportunity and if everybody else hadn't jumped on the put Adam down bandwagon. It makes sense for all of them to universally point the finger at Adam each week. It makes him look like the weakest link and detracts from their own ineptitude. After all, united they stand, divided they (or at least one of them) will fall. Once Adam has gone (which personally I hope isn't any time soon) they will only shift their focus onto someone else, The pack mentality always seems to prevail in this kind of show. I asked a few weeks ago if they felt threatened by Adam, but was argued down.

Adam has no natural allies since Andy left, they have targetted him as an alien to their vague job title, "getting a deal in overseas property" type occupation. Katie was a career soldier for years after being sponsored through her degree by Sandhurst i.e. the taxpayer. I think they have to serve 7 years in return. The MOD must be furious at the bad image Katie and Paul are giving the army. Last edited by mazey : 04-05-2007 at 02:38. |

I really like Adam, I like him more as everyone else dislikes him more! Trouble is, unless he is on the winning team I think he will go 'unless' someone else makes a massive cock-up like Paul did.

I respected Adam for putting himself forward for team leader - I don't know if SAS will take him up on the offer or not, but if he does I really hope that Adam's team win by a long way.
The final four should be Adam, Tre, Kristina and Lohit. I thought Lohit was a bit of a non-entity at first, but he handled being team leader pretty well, and he certainly has manners and common decency, which is more than can be said for some of the others. I do think though that unless Adam is in the winning team for at least the next three weeks, that he will just keep getting taken back into the boardroom. Apart from the four who I would like to see as the finalists, the others are just a bunch of brown-nosing sheep. They are all following Katie's lead - if she wasn't so nasty about Adam, I'm pretty sure that none of them would have been either. I REALLY hope that Katie goes soon, and I really hope that the audience on 'You're Fired' show her what they think of her. |

Its self pepetuating as well as people back the bitches up through fear so they get away with it. |
