Who else thinks Naomi is quite underrated?
Personally I do. I think that she has been slowly getting better and better each week and potential in her has actually started to show. Today I think she did a great job of selling while Katie just sat back. She is quite a good sales woman.

Possibly, she comes across as a bit distanced though. In a posh toff kind of way.

I feel a bit like she's fluked her way to the stage she's at, mainly through either being too quiet to bring back to the boardroom or not having enough to be fired for.
I do feel she was lucky to escape being fired in week 3 |

I think that Naomi has been very quiet but usually on winning side. Maybe in week 3 was candidate for firing but on no other occasion in my opinion.
The only one I have not considered as a candidate for being fired in any of the episodes is Kristina. If Jadine had not had her emotional hour at a key point of the task then any one of Lohit, Tre or Simon would have been a potential reject. |

I think she is a good team player and have yet to see her as a team leader again in order to decide whether last time was just a one off mess.
I think she's been off the radar due to lack of drama but she worked well on the London Zoo task, the selling to the French task, the negotiating one and this one. |

I have rated Naomi highly from quite early on. I actually liked her performance as PM. Not so much on the task (although I think she did OK, and liked how she handled Jadine), as in the boardroom afterwards. How a candidate deals with failure is an important test. She was good.
I think Katie "just sat back" because it was Naomi's sale. Naomi had got the interview, so she got the chance to make the presentation. |

Looked to me as if Naomi and Katie fairly shared the leading on the sales - Katie seemed to be holding her own in the sales bullshit league on recommending the rug kit.

I have never rated Naomi as highly as you and definitely fourth or fifth last of the five that are left, but I think SAS shares your opinion. Quote:

Spot on.

She's okay. She's like Michelle though from last year and that may now count against her.

i dont rate her at all. i think she is flying under the radar and has nothing to offer, he team leader skills are zero she flopped in the advertsisng task which should have been her forte and she is mediocre in all other ways!

It's surprises me that people rate Lohit but not Naomi.(in general)

I think she's good. Personally I dislike Katie & Simon and thought Simon was lucky yesterday: the white haired lady was very correct in saying he hadn't really contributed much.
She's good at defending herself too I think. |

I think she's overrated. She has had two chances to shine - firstly, when she was team leader and secondly during the advertising task where she was supposed to have had relevant experience. In both she proved to be ineffectual with regard to the tasks themselves and distinctly lacking in ideas. The only time she has shown any spark or flair is when she has had to defend herself in the boardroom. I grant you it's a skill but not the most helpful in this respect .

Her advertising experience is in selling it, not making it. So she wasn't great on ideas but knew what was good and what wasn't.
Her criticism of Ghazal's poster was spot on, delivered in a timely way, included many positive points and not just negative ones, and was echoed by the experts. Similarly she and Kristina did a good job of capturing visuals for the advert. The experts and even Sir Alan agreed it looked good. Of course with Sir Alan that's a bad thing because he hates adverts that look good but don't have the message - but the message was down to Ghazal and Katie switching horses at the last minute, and their wishy-washy vocals. Overall Naomi did well on the Advert task, if you pay attention to what she did and distinguish her from Kristina (I think there's a tendency to lump them together). She's not flashy but she gets on with it. |

I can't see Naomi winning, but she does come across as the nicest person left - and the only one I'd want to know in the real world.
... and she's quite tasty too. |

I'm growing to like her. But as a previous poster pointed out she does remind me a little of Michelle from last year and that may go against her. Her website is worth a visit. There is an interesting blog on all the tasks aired to date.
