I can't bear Katie but I agree that was a low blow. What does her physical appearance have to do with her business skills.
I really did enjoy you're fired up to and including Adam epi but thought the last two were particularly weak. |

Sometimes there is too much filler - like the Jon Culshaw clips and this week the focus on Katie rather than Jadine.
I, for one, would have loved to have seen the Eclipse Coffee dance again, as I had to shut the sound of in cringiness the first time! And a little montage of Jadine's Eclipse obsession would have gone down well! What's been everyone's favourite You're Fired this series? |

Tre is universally disparaging about everyone that isn't him but Katie is very particular and personal about who she doesn't like and why she doesn't like them. I have also yet to hear Tre desire someone to be dead. I also think he is doesn't take himself and what he says quite as seriously as as Katie takes herself.
I think that's the key to Tre- a lot of what he says is not meant to be too serious. He has a real poker face. He does talk sense too. It was not down to him that they lost. Jadine let them all down quite badly. I understand why and don't blame her for it but it's still a fact. Getting those appointments was crucial. |

There should have been one of the two people who saw the actual product presentation in each pair rather than putting Jadine and Lohit together, neither who had been to the original presentation.

Maybe because Katie is using her feminine allure to what she possibly sees as her advantage both in the boardroom and when dealing with business people and the public, maybe they felt justified in asking if the audience believe her methods are working?

Judging by the snippets shown already it looks like Tre's team loses tonight, so you never know, You might get to see Katie's lynching next week
Now I know who goes tonight. If you want to know send me a PM and I'll tell you that way Also, why do you think anybody who follows and enjoys the show would want to know who goes beforehand? Totally pointless. There's another thread running on this issue and I agree with the vast majority - unhidden spoilers are unacceptable so you and others should STOP doing it. |

Footygirl - don't post spoilers without hiding them. I know you offered to send the name of the person who goes by PM, but you still heavily hint which team loses. Why? And how do you know anyway?

He asked the audience whether they fancied Katie or not. And I'm saying this as somebody who doesn't even like Katie, and who normally likes Adrian Chiles. It was particularly vicious and unpleasant, which is maybe okay for people who want 'You're Fired' to be like that, but it also reduced women to being about whether they were visually pleasing to men or not. I don't like Katie but she doesn't deserve to be physically scrutinised in such a manner. Hands up who fancies Katie? What sort of question is that? What's the purpose other than to judge a woman's worth on how she looks? This isn't some tacky cable channel. I didn't see Adrian ask the studio audience whether they thought a male contestent was attractive enough for them. |

If there had been a "charmer" of a man on the show, I think Adrian may ask the same question of the women. Indeed he made the point, that he didn't think many women would want to work with or for Tre. |

Nobody asked me about Karren Brady, I don't know enough about her and her methods of doing business to comment - and it so annoying when people end a sentence with a rolleyes smiley as if to say game set and match. It is the pictorial equivalent of 'end of'.

Tre and Adam could act like sullen schoolboys when things weren't going their way. Katie was being upbeat and fun even when getting a telling off from Sir Alan. I think it is a good attitude to have, as long as she can be serious when necessary - which I think she can. When something has gone wrong, you need to be able to get into the details of who screwed up where without people getting offended or sulking. Sir Alan can call her a loser without her getting upset.

As a West Bromwich Albion fan I have heard some very Katiesque rumours about Ms Brady......hmmmmm....I wonder if Adrian will be in mourning about our loss at Wembley tonight?

Didnt he do some survival programme in the outback as well?? I agree he's a rising star.
You're Fired! is quite similar to Match of the Day 2 in many respects (apart from the lack of football), including the spotting of odd things that happen that you might not normally spot. |

Another fan of Adrian Chiles here. He's fantastically professional and very funny and down to earth.

Working Lunch is a great show. It puts over quite complex things in a very digestible format.
p.s. I thought highly of AC while he was on this show, but since YF I grown to dislike him. The comments made about natilie's accent and the constant vitirol about katie and tre is quite unnecessary and uncalled for. |

He loves Tre. It's his love of Tre that puts me off. His mocking of Katie's appearance bothers me too.
I think Tre's a funny guy too. Maybe not the best candidate for the job, but he does make me laugh and for entertainment value can at times makes the show. |

I see a lot of humour in Katies insults.
How much humour is there in a comment like "you know what women are like"? |

Once Katie talked about Mavis knitting in a disparaging way that was it - Adrian Chiles can say whatever he wants about her now with my blessing. People who categorise knitting with being old and not having a life deserve all that's coming to them.
