Simple as really. Always passing the buck. Always trying to slither out of any blame, he did it tonight. He was lucky the rest of his team were even crapper! Alan will deal with him another time.”
How did he "pass the buck"? He was totally right in what he said. Claire was lying through her teeth. By the time it came to barter for the rug, they had decided to drop the double act after it didn't work the first time, yet Claire just couldn't shut up and scuppered any chances of getting the item for a good price.

More often than not over the several series of TA, when the team leader hasn't been sacked, the second in command has been sacked. Bearing this in mind, would you want to be second in command to someone who in the preceding weeks had shown that he didn't know his @r$e from his elbow?

Yes, the task was lost thanks to the "efforts" of clueless Nick, wimps Michael and Kevin who would accept £20 for beluga caviar, and the incomprehensibly popular oil slick that is Raef. Raef really should have gone that week but SAS and the producers knew that he would make better telly than Nick in a weird Chris Eubank-like way.

A mistake that seems to be being made by a lot of people when it comes to Raef.

The laundry task was won by Alex, Simon and Lee.
Raef was very focussed as PM - focussed on where the next bar and coffee shop was. Lazy as well as false.

If you're going to criticise someone for something they didn't even do (i.e. write in textspeak), then continue to try to undermine their opinions and insinuate that they are immature, at least spell correctly and try to avoid unnecessary typos.

Rudeness to which I thought Alex reacted with great restraint, courtesy and professionalism. More than I could imagine some of the others doing, particularly loose canon Lee and nouveau snob Raef, and more than I would have.
Raef making it obvious that not only did the tanning factory smell but he continued to make the same gestures when he was talking to the tanners was the rudest thing in the series so far.

I agree with you and I actually find that the Alex-bashers are getting increasingly tedious.
