Her encounter of that famous week six incident when Kevin got fired. Also says Michael refused to shake her hand

Says nice things about Raef

And I'm inclined to believe every word she says.

Urgh.

I'd be quite pleased if Michael didn't shake my hand, as I don't think I'd ever feel clean again.

In all seriousness though, it just goes to prove what a total slimeball that he is.

There is no doubt in my mind she is telling the truth. Sara was always truthful and honest, something quite a number of the other candidates aren't. It should also be pointed out that on teletext she said Lee apologised to her in the Morocco task and said she did a good job

He is immature, he cheats, he lies and he makes too many mistakes. Why Sir Alan likes him, I don't know

Can't say I blame her. This season has been loaded with some nasty characters.

Sir Alan doesn't help matters. He could have got rid of Jenny C in week two, saving us from her for five whole weeks, not to mention Michael and Alex

Well, her comments about Helene are spot on.

I'm very cynical about these low-rent tabloid interviews though....

Yes I read the teletext interview too

I got the impression that she might have been bullied by the other contestants ...

I think Sara is right thinking she should have her own business because working with that lot must have put her off human nature for life.

The chewed her up and spat her out. She would never have been given any credit for anything as she was constantly put down.

I think she really gave up on the show after that horrendous bullying she got when she went back to the house and they all jumped on her for committing he henious crime of not getting fired!

They seem to have forgotten that they're all going to fall by the wayside apart from the eventual winner - but I am sure Sara will succeed she seems very intelligent - she just got stuck with a nest of vipers.

I wish Sara every luck and success in whatever she does.

As for the rest - I hope Raef and Lucinda are in the final. The others (with the exception of Alex who went through a wrong door as he meant to go on a modelling show and went into The Apprentice instead) aren't worth diddly squat as business people.

Poor women...you expect to take a bit of flack in the boardroom, but being attacked by your team mates (and in Lee's case someone on another team) in what is effectively your own home is beyond the pale.

Thank god Raef was there, or it would probably have been even nastier than it was....

Did you?

As for the Michael-shaking-hands comments. Well. He hugged her right? Or is she talking about another week? I'm very slightly drunk and can't be bothered to read the article.

As I recall only Lucinda hugged her that week.

Lucinda's just great, isn't she?

I really want her to win!!

Raef and Lucinda are both great...I thought it was lovely how Lucinda was offering Sara quiet reassurance during that situation, and Raef was a bit of a knight in shining armour....

It must have been a different week you're think about. As Michael actually said on screen that it was a travesty that Sara came back instead of Kevin. Given his performances of the past two weeks I think it's a clear case of a pot talking about a kettle!

I thought the article was an honest account of her experience in the BB house! Sorry I meant her job interview for a £100k position.

Michael hugged her when she was fired. It was when she returned to the house after Clueless Kevin was fired that she says Michael refused to shake her hand.

Right. I gets ya. I was thinking about when she was fired. He hugged her then. The other time Clueless Kevin was fired, yeah that was rude.

is it wrong that i never read the story but i stared at the burger in an advert on the side?


no no, i joke... sara should have walked out, made a point and got sir alan involved
that way at least the clueless sir alan would have seen what happens!

The immaturity of some of the contestants (i.e. acting like 7 year olds in a playground) is a huge factor this year. They may have academic qualifications, they may have a single minded ambition to make money and push anybody aside who gets in their way but when things don't go their way you get the feeling they will stamp their feet, have a tantrum and then want mummy to make it all better.

It seemed to me that Sara was bullied throughout and it had a devastating effect in eroding her confidence, her standing in her teams and her self-esteem. Sugar's sacking of her - the manner in which he attacked and accused her - was appalling. It is not the first time he has done that to a woman, though. It happens in every series. I recall the way he also accused an earlier contestant in this series in the ludicrous terms "One of the most heinous things you have done..." She hadn't done anything remotely heinous. The biggest bully of women on that show is Sugar. A male candidate does actually do something heinous and he waxes sentimental and sugary and gives him chances week after week even though he is useless as well as heinous. It happens in every series.

I'm glad someone else has noticed that.

People have accused some contenstants of not defending themselves well but it isn't a level playing field.

Some contestants Sugar listens to and allows to make their point and others he sneeringly shouts down.

He is also given credit for astute business sense, and, fair dos, he's made a lot of money, but he's made hs share of poor decisions along the way, but in this environment he can always look good because he has the benefit of hindsight. We've all seen him ridicule one team for doing things a certain way when it's quite apparant that they only lost because the other team got lucky - i.e. it could easily have gone either way.

A lot of his comments - most, probably - are spot on, but he does use the fact that he knows the outcome to tell one team that they obviously made a wrong choice when I suspect that if he'd have had to guess before he knew the result he could well have backed the wrong horse.

Yea, well, what can you expect from a bloke who sends a birthday card to his own wife and signs it Sir Alan Sugar.

If I'd have been Sara, I'd have walked out, and I'd have done it in the boardroom. I would have drawn everyones attention to it and told siralan that he had no need to fire anyone that week as I was not prepared to take all the crap they were dishing out any more, and then walked out with my head held high.

I don't think it was racist, but it was definitely bullying, it just destroyed her confindence.
