His first line on You're Fired, completely missed.

He's pleading, he's pleading. The little pleader.

Those lines were more for the old Apprentice, a learner. Not for someone who Sugar wants to go into business with.

YES! <punches air> what an utter knob. Far too dodgey and underhanded for my liking. I would not trust him with anything.

James is a fking little wker.

The way he speaks to women is absolutely disgusting, and you can absolutely see why he has a criminal record for assault. He seems to have a temper bubbling most of the time, and it's pretty easy to make him angry. Horrible.

He got off incredibly lightly in the board room and is getting a far too friendly reception on You're Fire frown

Agreed - too many people seemed be buying his bullst, Sugar included.

I also think I'm a little bit in love with Roisin cloud9

James is a patronising, ignorant misogynist who is nowhere near as funny, clever or articulate as he thinks he is. Glad he went.

I hate how the aftershow always have to have a 'comedian' on. This week's was especially annoying.

"What do you think, Joe?"

"Yes I thought so too. By the way, I'm gay."

"Do you agree Joe?"

"Yes. And also, I'm gay."

"Any thoughts Joe?"

"It was the right decision. Did I mention I'm gay?"

Noticed that too. All jokes were about being gay. It was tumbleweed in my living room; he wasn't funny in the slightest.

I think James was close to the mark of being abusive and a bully to Roisin (sp?) there.

I can't understand how anyone can think that the "enthusiasm" is good when it is lined with bull**t. If you can't be honest then I can't do business with you, because if I can't trust what you say. He is also the kind of salesman who will get a million quid deal but have made some s**e up about it so when the client found out.....

Also didn't he say I've never had a job but then in the BBC2 show, he had a job but was fired?

Finally, I do love that he didn't know the chap's name, which was his own fecking name.....

As for the other two, I would love to know if it was edited that way or if they really did act so unprofessionally as to spend time arguing on the stall like that.

Anyone else think that Katie (I think its Katie - the lass from the north east) could go all the way on this one?

I get the impression that if James hadn't made so many mistakes he'd be a strong contender for the win for Sugar.

In fact I think Sugar plays so little regard to the better side of peoples personalities that if James had a brilliant business idea he'd still be in the process.


And what was all that st about going on to help other kids from disadvantaged backgrounds get ahead in business using his "experience" - what experience? He's never had a job, never had a business, all he has experience of is pissing off a number of people and being a loud mouthed, hyperactive little toerag.

The editing of yesterday's episode was certainly pro-Katie. For example the bit where she told Daniel to tone it down (IIRC that's why they got the "Hot tub" gig which was instrumental in them winning it) plus there was the snippet of her playing "peacemaker" when Dan and Mark were bickering in the boardroom.

I think the only people to come out as decent characters are Felipe, Katie, And Roisin.

I think Katie will be another one that will be hauled up for not showing enough.

I think Roisin will probably win for coming across as the most serious. But it all depends on their business plan.

Daniel is such a fkwit - once he was taken off the sales he should have kept quiet - if they had lost it was all set up for Mark to get sacked.

Daniel needs to go - soon. He thinks he's better than he actually is. Mark also needs to go, he's devious and conniving and as such, untrustworthy in my view. The rest are just pretty much wallpaper.

I reckon Roisin or Katie will win this, depending on the business ideas they have.

Certainly "decent" in the old-fashioned sense of being a nice guy - which he himself made a point about in the boardroom. He does seem like a decent bloke.

But I'm not sure I agree in the sense of him being a decent candidate. He strikes me as a bit ineffectual - he was certainly played by the Aussie guy who sounds like Peter Andre....

I disagree, the Aussie is a far better salesman than the other bullstter. If Daniel had gone to the hot tub sales he would have scared off all the customers.
