Michael should have been fired the week they had the shopping task. He was complicit in the attempted bribery, and was as responsible as jenny over the chicken business.

More so because he had no reason not to know what Kosher means.

Yeah, exactly. I know Jennifer M didn't do a great job but I would have given her another chance over Michael.

Very true but it's all rigged for TV anyway he's got 12 shows to fill if he sacked 3 people on every show where they were incompetant this series would have only been 4 weeks long!

I believe Sugar has an idea on who he's picking early on and the rest of it's just made for TV like keeping Michael in, I'm sure he was never going to hire him same as he'd never hire Tre, Syed or Paul from the first 3 series but viewers think they're toss pots and keep tuning in to see them fired.

SAS,"4 Outstanding candidates"? Really I cannot see it-unless I missed something.

You're probably right as it has been a very poor crop of candidates this year. Those who stayed aren't that much better than those who left.

I actually watched the real BB tonight as I forgot this programme was on. Something I wouldn't have done in the past.

Be interested to know how they will 'score' this weeks task as SAS says that both the losing team will be automatically fired so unless he has 2 potential candidates in mind than he would be taking a huge risk of losing the one he wants if it isn't him who decides which team wins (e.g. if the one who makes the most money wins)

Though tbh he probably has split the teams into the 2 possible ones he wants Claire on one team Alex on the other Lee and Helene are just making up the numbers.

If its anything to go by based on previous series, the decider on who wins the task is down to SAS rather than a numerical result... could be wrong though

Lol....it's interesting that he found a way to admit he was wrong to keep him in so long without backtracking as to which candidate he should have gone over....

I must have been dreaming because I thought I saw in the previews for this programme SAS saying he regretted firing someone


Probably mistaken

He said that he didn't get it right all the times, and he was speaking about Michael.

I was quite shocked he was still so harsh about Shazia, when it is blatantly obvious it wasn't her fault at all!!!
