Only one went this week! Disappointing.

If I'd been Shugs, I'd have sacked the bleedin' lot of 'em!

I think he meant that they cover their backside all the time but even then it wasn't clear.

I'd imagine most of the boardroom seats need a deep-cleaning weekly.

Where's the fking ambulance from the preview?! This is unacceptable!!
There was no ambulance in the preview last week. I just watched it to check as I thought the same.

What it was however was snippets implying they poisoned the guests.

Have to say I expect far more from the BBC than cheap xfactor drama cliff hangers.

As for the show, fking pathetic.

I wouldn't have paid 300 for that. Utter garbage. Its embarrassing seeing how far up their own arses these people are and how out of touch.

It was so bad it was funny.

The request for some music on the bus was comedy gold.

I'm amazed that they still got paid £1500-1600 for such a poor party, more so since it was such small groups. I'd be expecting something really good for £160 per head.

I'd have expected it for nothing, as there wouldn't have been a show otherwise.

Who the fk pays thousands of pounds for a party for a kid?! Even if you didn't have a bunch of monkeys throwing it. Mental!

Hard to watch the episode for me. I was glad when it got to the boardroom!

The bald guy - we got the party started by standing on one leg. I mean are you that far up your own arse. I cringe every time he opens his mouth.

The torn faced navy lass - ok we are going to run from here to there.

party bus - put your left leg in...... jesus, put music and drink then leave them to entertain themselves.

heres how I could do it with a two £2k budget if I got the boys.

Falkirk fc 1/3 pitch - 1 hour hire £35
local karting place - races, heats and final with pizza £180
inflatable assault course - £155
sumo suits - £50
kids rodeo bull - £150
venue - £150
extra food - £100
party bags and little extras £100

Total £920

Its really not that fking hard is it. I mean I wouldn't have paid £300 for that. In fact I wouldn't have paid a penny. Not allowed to climb to the top, not to run, not put they're fingers here, "yeah lets have fun", wooooo party.

Utterly pathetic. These people aren't real. The cakes were fking st, the food looked garbage, there was nil entertainment, the party bags were a joke, the t-shirts were utter st, every single one of them is fking useless. That has taken me 5 minutes to do that for the same price they spent a whole day planning theirs. They simply would never get another booking with the power of facebook.

I think they were limited to choosing prearranged party venues so they couldn't really do a lot off their own back.
Both teams made a bit of a shambles of it though, both teams probably trying to hard as opposed to just letting the kids get on with it. There again, if they'd stood back they'd of been accused of not providing any entertainment.
Agree with a previous poster that the hysterical comments you heard about poisoned parents and an ambulance at the end of the previous episode were a cheap X-Factor style sham.

And another point I meant to make about Richard bossing Vana around. The problem you have in this programme is that if one person has a skill in doing something then they obviously take charge. This brings an element of luck into the challenges, in this instance, Richard knew how to make a cake and had a plan for it, Vana clearly had no idea and was therefore at his beck and call, this made Richard look like the 'self-confident business person' and Vana like his lackey. The same happened a few episodes back where Joseph knew about building and general handiwork so therefore immediately took charge and left all the others floundering, to be honest, Joseph's been smoking a cigar in the boardroom ever since as he knows he's pretty bulletproof until there's maybe just a few of them left.
