Buying exercise interesting - could have done it so much better myself!! Can't believe they're the best the show could get??

The white-haired woman used to be the head of my group at work. She was damn scary in RL - I haven't seen her on the programme so don't know how she comes across.

no way dinosaur, what was the industry?They don't say that much but she looks so cuddly and unassuming - obviously a ruse! Always wondered where his two 'aides' came from - they look like such unlikely advisors to a succesful businessman.

I was SOOO glad that lindsay got the sack after the toy exercise - DH and I sat there with out mouths open as she just overruled everything that anyone said!

Yes Gwenick. She is terrifying (although also charming and clever and tremendously good fun).

gwenick - wasn't lynsday VILE?! We were saying how grim it would be to work for her.

Wow dinosaur, she doesn't come across that way.
It's such a good programme.

Was so chuffed when Adele jumped before she was pushed.

don't you think they are a sad bunch - I really can't believe they are the creme de la creme. I think they are a bunch of tossers...ok putting it a bit stongly, but they are not that bright.

No, would love to have seen Adele pushed . They are all horrible aren't they, that's why it's so watchable. Urgh, to have to suck up like that all the time to AS - who is very growly and watchable though.

it's very good viewing though isn't it.
Loved the art one last week. Think James stands a good chance of winning.

How seriously could you ever be taken in business if you'd won your job on a reality TV show?

It is horribly watchable. If Saira starts one more sentence "Can I just say...", though, I may have to track her down and gag her. Or alternatively scream at the TV, which I suppose is more responsible behaviour.

Does anyone else laugh every time the receptionist says "You can go in now". She got to say a bit more last week I think

We love it. The women contestants aren't coming across too well, tho, are they? Do you think the 2 posh blokes stand the best chance of winning?

I love this too and can't quite believe how shite the women are.

I think Tim could win. He's the only decent one there really imo.

Saira is AWFUL! She seems to think that "can I interrupt you, I tell you why..." is some sort of socially skilled way of dealing with people!!

Tim is good and Ben (the quiet one).
Does anyone know what charity Rachel used to work for?

Oh I really like Saira! I just think she's so pushy it's hilarious. All the ones who've been fired already really deserved it.
