True, but I think the task was not about design so much but giving the client what they wanted. And what they wanted was not loads of bells and whistles so it would have been easy to bring it back. The questions they should have asked them was what do you want, how many do you want if we meet that brief and what are you willing to pay. The project leader had the idea in her head which she was reluctant to remove and absolutely had to be fired. The outside designers toned it down to a certain extent. What was unforgivable was the inside being done like it was a Pimppod and that was by the people who spoke to the customer.
Say what you like about Akshay, he’s never hidden away on a task. I quite like him too. I wouldn’t hire him, but I might chat to him if I met him in a pub. And I thought he did a decent job haggling fir the food - Karen said the other team negotiated better than him but they both got ~20% off the price. The PM should’ve gone, even with the refund for a low quality experience they still wouldn’t have won - the reason they lost was the crap price she negotiated for the tickets, and the fact the museum tour she led was crap, especially compared to the pit stop challenge.
Brittany and Harpreet easily the two most credible so far. Akshay has improved and did ok last night. Kathryn has become a passenger after a reasonable start. Aaron and Sophie have not really shown anything and look like cannon fodder. Hakeem, nice guy but poor contestant.
Stephanie is from Chislehurst. She's been plugging her kids online clothes business on the local Facebook groups in the last couple of weeks.
I know we have discussed this before but since the whole format has changed from Sugar giving people a job to going into a partnership with them, it has become so much more about their business plan and I'm pretty sure he keeps them in purely on that basis.
She should have gone. The main reason for the task failing was the agreed price and the tour finishing early was throwing the lads, who are not caterers under the bus. If anything, they should have tried to give them an extra 15 minutes!

This. I still watch out of habit. But the programme is a sham. The sackings have little to do with the tasks.
So next week I assume one of the inept fellas remaining will have to move teams to even then up again. That will weaken the team they go to and strengthen the one they leave. So Brittany and Harpreet almost certainly end up in the final [5?].
At the end they did a clip of next week with Sugar essentially saying it was going to be a final 4... So a double firing I assume.
So my prediction is we say cheerio to Akeem or Aaron (whichever moves over) and Stephanie.
Hapreet really does annoy me, during last nights episode when she kept shouting on the mic, I just literally shouted out shut up! as she was proper doing my head in.
Hope Brittany wins, everyone else is poor although agree Harpreet probably runner up/ or going for top spot.

Apparently those were her “strong leadership skills”
"Our biggest problem", she says, while completing the planning for a second pitch on her baby food product, "is that it looks like we're trying to... kill babies".

Hakeem and Catherine come across quite well too, Harpreet is a thundering cunt though

just to give the other halves of the team something to do / mess up?
