He makes mistakes all the time i think, but gets let off because he either admits to it straight away, or gets ignored because he doesn't sually have a major role in any task
1) Task 1- selling that bucket load of fish for £50 after like 2 mins of negotiations to solicitors, when Alex said something like no more than £130.
2) Task 3- reducing the price of the soup by £2 for no toher reason than thinking it was too expensive, picking a price out of thin air rather than looking at margins
(being hopeless with the pizza issue, by saying it was because they didn't have enough ingredients etc)
3) Task 5- having two intoxicated men to their tasting session, which was supposed to be with around 10-20 people
4) Task 6- spending 3 HOURS debating over an apostrophe, when htye were only making prototype cards!
But, i do think other than apostrophegate he did a good job as PM in the last task
In general he seems like a bit of an idiot eg 'i thought we were friends' (on the verge of tears)
A lot of it seems to be acting though. if the resident buffoon was the part he was trying to get, job well done.
