whether or not you think something is fair is irrelevant
Not to me. I am first to leap on useless posters, this was not the case, hence the reason I debated the issue with the member.

Ahh obviously you have set your self up in your own mind to be the arbitrator of which posters are usefull or useless what is fair or not fair and given yourself the job of being 'the first to jump on the' how self important! Har.

Quite impressive really.

I've not seen anything from Alex so far that would make him a good Apprentice. Regardless of Claire , his negotiating skills left much to be desired and he was awful as PM and totally out of control.
Ooo we are in agreement, lol He does not have the 'it' factor that makes him stand out as a serious contender

He's absolutely vile! Can't stand him, he seems to have been on the losing team almost every week!

I'm ashamed to say I fancy him but I don't like him. I still would, though.

Alex is IMO one of the worst left at the moment. I have disliked him since the first task when he totally scapegoated Nicholas in the fish task right from the start - even before Nicholas made the lobster pricing error. You could see his game plan from the word go IMO - out to make someone else look bad therefore not working as a team.

He has done this in every task since, its like he singles out someone in his own team and picks at all their faults so as to save his own skin if it comes down to it. He is so transparent and actually, while I think Claire is a bit of a snake too at least she is good at her job from what I've seen, whereas I have seen no evidence of Alex actually being any good.

He is seriously snidey.

He seems to do practially no work. Everytime the camera is on him he has a sneer on his face.
In the photography task all he did was make things difficult for Simon and he was REALLY unhelpful. In the ice cream task again, all he did was complain.
Last week in the environmental card task, he knew it was a bad idea, but he sat beside Kevin in the car and just pulled faces and rolled his eyes.
He makes things difficult for the PM, and bitches behind their backs, yet he never contributes any help at all. Just sits there and watches them struggle, nice!!
His plan seems to be stay in the background and do nothing so that he won't be brought into the boardroom, and yet he openly criticised Sara for doing the same, when in fact she has always worked far harder than him.

I thought he was OK week one, but in hindsight he would have been no loss. He seems to lack in any leadership skills and I don't ever remember him inputting a good idea or doing anything useful.

Something strangely alluring about Claire, I'd like her to join me in bed while I work out what it is.
Glad I'm not the only one who thinks so. I thought there might be something wrong with me!

I've got a sneaking suspicion that when sez babe says Alex is fab what she really means is 'omg lol Alex iz well fit innit '
Not fair, sez-babe quite eloquently explained his/her argument without resorting to text talk.
Thank you The Rhydler - I did not resort to text speak and I think I put my argument across. That's the problem, as I have already stated, if other people think someone is attractive, they constantly go on about it in the way that someone can only like that person because of it.

whether or not you think something is fair is irrelevant
Yet another thread that goes of course....

Yeh and it was a good debate

Ahh obviously you have set your self up in your own mind to be the arbitrator of which posters are usefull or useless what is fair or not fair and given yourself the job of being 'the first to jump on the' how self important! Har.

Quite impressive really.
and yet another post that has absolutely nothing to do with the thread and is extremely nasty

Thank you.

Clearly you have set yourself up as the person who will 'keep it real' and work out ulterior motives to start threads without a shred of evidence to back yourself up.

Glad I'm not the only one who thinks so. I thought there might be something wrong with me!
Maybe there is something wrong with both of us.

So you do think Alex is well fit? Perhaps if Alex was less fit he would magically become less 'fab' ? hmmm

Also, you are confusing Fab with Weasle , a common mistake

I think you misread the title of this thread or do you just like being nasty? I'm all for a debate, but not a silly argument. I really hate posters like you - you have no reason to be horrible yet you feel you must

Fair enough, he did retreat from being second in command but you can't blame him for trying to look out for himself. Also, Clare did but in when he was doing his negotiation so he wasn't lying
Yes you can. Arse-coverers may be good at justifying themselves whilst dropping other people in it, but they rarely contribute anything of great importance - because if they take something on and fail at it, they've got less room to blame-shift. Alex is shrewd, but he hasn't done anything substantial all series. You have to be shrewd and active, not some weasely passive whiner hanging back from the foray.

Alex is my least favourite candidate.

He has a whiney expression, a whiney manner and a whiney voice.

He's not excelled on any of the tasks and he failed miserably as team leader.

Alex to be fired next

He's had 8 weeks to prove himself. It would be too little too late.

Alex was pretty rubbish in the first task. He was a blame merchant who tried to push the blame on to Nicholas and Raef. Yes, Nicholas and Raef made mistakes but so did everyone. However, Nicholas was the right person to be fired then because he was useless and whiny and Alex at least volunteered to be PM.

Alex was at his best in the laundry task – he was worked too hard by Simon to get up to any scheming and Raef was very focussed as PM. Since then Alex has shirked and stepped back and basically been a male version of Claire, only worse – undermining the PM and refusing to take responsibility for anything then pinning everything on Claire if/when it goes wrong.

..If it doesn't matter then are you claiming that your evaluation of his fab-ness is based purely on his performance as a buisness man as evidenced by the way he has conducted himself during the tasks and in the boardroom?

Because clearly Alex is not 'fab' as a buisnessman by any stretch of the imagination. He's is in fact a rubbish at all things .

I think the fabness you are attributing to him is because of his boyband looks, rather than his buisness acumen, which is fine so jus admit it, really its ok.

If he loked like jonny vegas im sure you wouldn't be simpering over how fab he is.

And of course, you know this because..... This is such a subjective opinion

and you know this how exactly?


It looks to me like you have such a negative outlook towards Alex for some unknown reason. You keep going on about his looks, are you jelous?
