When they were slagging adam off in the house and boardroom because of what he paid for the banner i felt like killing them all.

I dont know anywere were you cna buy such a banner for £140, never mind getting it down to £80. But to behonest he would not have got anything for £50 and i think they were being very harsh toward him

Are you a printer?

It was poorly translated (by the printer, his claim) and there was no mention of calls to confirm the price and cost of translation. Sales of Goods and Services Act (1982) amended 1994 springs to mind. Courts have supported that legislation so that traders could not make claims for payment when no acceptance for excessive costs were agreed.

Even if he had got the banner for free Stealth would have still made a loss of £145 with Eclipse making a profit of £410.

heidman, I think many will agree with you when you say that Adam was harshly treated, myself includeded. But the other teams banner cost them £20, so you can't really say it wouldn't have been possible to get one for less than he paid for it.

However, they did make rather a big deal out of what was, essentially, a miner error, and one that he did his best to rectify in securing a hefty discount. Furthermore, Paul's off-the-cuff, casual linstructions as to how much Adam had to spend on the banner doubtless contributed to the situation as well.

Did they actually have a banner?
I think they just bought a stack of Union Jacks and decorated the stall with them.

The fact of the matter is, that the stupid toff army idiot got kicked out - yay!

All those idiots are now going to start a "bully" culture in the house towards Adam. I actually feel sorry for him now.

ADAM TO WIN!

If the rest had tied up Adam using his banner then thrown him overboard halfway across the channel....that would have been harsh. Harsh but fair.

yes i am a printer, i see what your saying but everyone knows that at the end of the day theyw ent 5 Hrs late, the printer used his inicitive, and in fact was actually told to proofread the job. so i dont think Adam was to blame.

The company i work for would usually charge 210 for a similar job, and that is considered cheap

They all gang up on Adam to make themselves look better, If they all hate Adam it makes it look like there is something wrong with him, Gizelle should have gone before him

Ghazal has won more times than him, and won as PM to boot. Adam lost 5 times, 4 times in the boardroom and 2 times as PM. He was OK but nothing special - really only stood out in the Art task and even then he achieved little because he couldn't persuade anyone else. Time to go.

I'm afraid this is what women do in groups when they spot a vulnerable male target - says more about them than it does about him. He wasn't winner material but they've put more effort into getting him out than they have to making their own cases - now they will have to turn on each other...

Yeh, I like Adam, he seems like a really nice guy. I only saw clips of waht happpened last night, but that blonde woman (forgotten her name) who he had an argument is a right stuck-up cow. I feel she disliked Adam becuase of his northerness. I hope she loses. HOpefully Adam will make a mint on the back of apperaing on the show like the other contestants have in the past.

Now Adam is gone, the bitchers will turn in on themselves now... and I think Katie won't last long- after all, they know her game as they were part of it. And she is firmly in Kristina's sights.

He was by far the best salesman in all the tasks he had lost, and prior to last night I thought he was really going to be a winner.

He was let down however by his total inability to negotiate from the other side - the lame haggling over the car battery was woeful.

He also missed the trap in the rules re the penalties, which as PM he should have studied.

And finally he lumbered himself with Gazelle, probably because he thought she would give him less of a hard time. That gave him no excuse to really pick between the team he had no sight of.

If he had paired with Katie, he could have built up some ammunition during the day against her, then brought the deer in from the "other team" as she would have obviously failed to find anything
