Anyone else noticed this is the first year when they haven't had a contestant called Paul?

Maybe last year's offering made sure of that?

I quite liked Paul Tulip though.

I liked Paul Tulip too. He did so well, but folded when he finally reached the boardroom for the first time (no real experience of it over the other candidates perhaps?).

I don't think he was what Sir Alan wanted at the end of the day, so no matter how good you do, you can't avoid being fired in the final 4 sometimes.
