This guy hardly warrents a mention. Underneath all the Alex weasel comments (I am guilty) and Claire undermining comments (yep, guilty), what do people think of him. He's been quite consistant with some good performances. Although he likes to do the 'presentation/ marketing' side rather than getting hands dirty (he was front of house in the restaurant, smoozing potential customers in the laundry task, drawing in customers for the fish task)
Michael - noones talking about him

Not sure what talent he actually possesses, but I find him highly amusing. From his whining in the boardroom ep 1, dancing ep2 and singing ep 3, he's a worthy contestant. I also respect him as when he comes up with a stupid idea (selling £100+ of fish for £50, and guessing the prices of the food to put on the menu), he'll always say 'on my head be it' and then actually tells Sir Alan these were his (foolish) ideas.
As much as I liked Simon and hated seeing him criticised, I loved the way Michael slated him 'He's an awful project manager. Awful' His voice cracks me up. He's really delicate!

That's probably exactly his quote when he was negotiating £100 deals with his female clients while he was a student.
Hes okay and thats the problem he does not capture your attention on TV but I do admire the way he takes the blame for anything he does and seems to be a happy fella
I cannot stand him, equally as slimey as the rest and hasn't stood out for anything other than his stupid dancing or whiney school girl voice.

If Alex is a weasel, this guy is an eel. His personality is as slimey as he looks.
I predict that the first time he is brought back to the boardroom, he will be fired. Siralan won't find any redeeming features about him.

Lol, if it wasn't for the fact that he got paid to sleep with females during his escort days whilst at Uni, I would have put him in the Graham Norton camp.
Who's Michael? 
Well, that's only partly facetious, since what I really mean is that we don't get to see much of him do we? Hence nothing much to talk about - apart, it seems from the fact that there's nothing much to talk about...

Good for him making money during his uni days, can't hold that against him, needs must and all. However he hasn't really shone on this show and appears to be keeping in the background. He was honest in his openion of Simon, stated he was a dreadful PM and left it at that. So time will tell but I have a feeling he is not so nice, don't know why

Bar the hotline gaffe you could say the same thing about Lindi.
Michael has had flash points eg selling the fish at too low a price (week 1), trying pretend that half a pizza was a whole one (week 3), not wanting to get hands dirty in laundrette (week 2) etc etc. He was scathing of Simon's management style as Claire and Alex, but because he did it behind Simon's back he has managed to escape criticism...

Lol !
I know he can't help it, but his voice really annoys me. He sounds like a higher-pitched Gordon Brittas.

I noticed that! Everyone cheered apart from him! He looked gob smacked and then when she noticed he started to clap her!

Yes! His face literally hit the floor in shock!!
Can't make my mind up about Michael.
He has made some rather foolish errors (e.g. selling off the remaining stock of fish for £50 and plucking prices for soups out of thin air during the pubs task) but he always owns up to his mistakes and is very honest.
Not sure he has winning material.

Oh darn it, I didn't spot that!!
I rather think Michael is flying under the radar at the moment. He hasn't yet come to the fore.

Really? When?
He was lousy at negotiating over the fish. Again over the laundry. He was part of the team that over-spent on menus and fliers on the pub task. He also contributed to their lack of revenue on that task by marking down the soup. It seems to me he's a disaster area, making one mistake after another, with no redeeming qualities that I've seen. He's one of the worst remaining.
