I think that nothing in the werruld intdimerrrdates her. She is a very indimerrrdating person.

I can't believe how little of an impact she has made when she has gone so far in the competion.

Even as a team leader she didn't make the decisions.

She should have asked the importer for the outlets they supplied to however she blamed Aaron for not telling her to.

Come on Ghazal- take some initiative and don't just follow orders!!

I think shes playing the "grey man" strategy...skulk around in corners whilst letting others take the flak.

She's who I drew in the office sweepstake, and her point is to win me £22.

Fair enough. That's her only point.

Why did we have subtitles for the Chinese woman when she was much easier to understand than Ghazal?

Maybe just me but I don't remember seeing any subtitles?

Somehow, I don't think you're going to win there....

to be fair, it was Ghazal's idea to change from doing a doggy rucksack or whatever and pitch a product for the mass market.
Yes and it was her who spotted some of the nonsense in the sell to the French task. She is actually pretty bright - which is more than you could say about Tre or Jadine - just too young, quiet and inexperienced..

She has made a few good decisions, and hasn't made any serious cockups like others have.
I have to disagree with you there. Her first cock-up was when she was given the most important pitch in the doggy cabinet task, and she froze. Luckily for her, Gerri stepped in and saved the day.

More seriously, she was an atrocious PM. She cocked up making the chocolate multiple times, losing a couple of hours each time. She ended up with half the product of the other team. She also overlooked the need for lolly sticks. She wasn't able to control Tre and he ended up playing pool back at the house when the others were working.

For me one of her worst moments was telling Sir Alan that she hadn't run out of product. She clearly had. What's more, she knew she was going to at the time, and slowed down sales to eck it out a bit longer, to avoid the embarrassment of having nothing to sell. So it seems to me this was a blatant, planned lie, and she never got as much stick for it as she deserved.

As it happened, Adam was an even worse PM and somehow managed to make less money despite having more to sell. So she won by £10. If she's lost she'd have been fired.

Since then she's kept mousy-quiet. She was part of the group madness on the French task (eg saying Paul was a good PM when he wasn't; being in favour of cheese). In post-firing interviews Adam has a low opinion of her on the shopping list task.

In my opinion she is the weakest candidate left, by far. don't see how you can compare her with Simon, Naomi or Lohit, all of whom are very good.

We have Ghazal being denigrated as if she shouldn't be there while the forum has been awash with people promoting the cause of mediocre (or worse) people such as Adam or Lohit as eventual winners.

What? You do get that the post you are referring to was a joke? You know, mocking how Ghazal speaks and how she thinks she is 'intimidating'

I agree.....I find Lohit incredibly rubbish.

I agree about Adam, who was lucky to survive his first stint as PM. However, so far as I know Lohit has not made any big errors. Ghazal has.

Yeah, my so called "mate", Imy786, may think I'm a humourless tw*t (ditto, btw) but it was just a joke.

No, it thought it was. Big difference. Take a look at what is meant to be phonetic spelling and see how off the mark it is.

I was just getting at the extreme polarisation of judgements as between say Adam / Lohit and Ghazal.

She is no great shakes but neither is Adam, and Lohit was being touted as a winner before we were even sure which one he was! Any disparity in ability among them is nowhere near as pronounced as the extreme favour or disfavour of the judgements made of them.
