indeed - She also claimed that the stress of the experience had driven her to “leave the UK and go to Morocco for a month to really heal and get my mind right, because it was too much”

poor diddums, I wish I could take a month off to ps off to Morocco to chill out and perfect my Daily Mail face

I am afraid Noor couldn't run a corner shop.

She was the worst candidate I've ever seen watching the show since the beginning.

I'd probably agree with you but my jaw has been on the floor, and I've had a thousand yard stare permanently since seeing "yoga girl" take over the vineyard tour the previous week. There are times rules need to be ignored, and in this case the show's rules should have been ignored so that she should have been the first on a winning team to be sacked.

I don't get an extra reward every time I do my job without getting fired.

I'm guessing you also don't risk getting fired every week and on each task you're set

It's a TV show, it's just an added bit of entertainment.

Same reason they all go for tea in the losers cafe. You could say that's redundant.

I was reading that her business website was basically a plagiarised version of a popular and successful one within the same space.

Apologies for the S*n link.

TV shopping next week, which is usually good car crash TV
Even Simon Ambrose (winner S3) was caught out by it.

Never understood the logic of shouting into someones lug hole whilst they are trying to sell, under pressure.

Surely a smart person learns the product well and has a mini "script" in their head, they should only shout out things like 10 seconds left, not have a running commentary blasting in their ear like Gary Neville at the Champions League Final.

Many presenters (especially newsreaders) doing live TV wear an earpiece while talking to the camera. But I wonder how much chat from the producers there is coming into it, whilst they’re conducting an interview for example? Must be a skill in itself to seamlessly take that feedback on board whilst focussing on the main task at hand.

I think Terry Tibbs should come along and help.

Proper presenters don’t have narcissists giving them contradictory instructions in their ear.

I wonder what the recruitment process is for TA. Being the BBC I'd hope it's based on merit but the poor calibre of candidates suggests to me that merit isn't the prime consideration and box ticking is probably the first consideration.

Can be quite a lot of information but only when necessary. It is definitely a skill to be able to talk on topic whilst listening to the talkback feed.
It’s something that needs to be practiced but won’t be on this task because the producers know how much of a car crash it will be.

So we will have presenters who can’t stay on track whilst being talked at, producers who won’t realise how difficult it is for the presenters and will give a full running commentary in their ear….

P.S. Noor - wtf is that all about? Her ‘business’ is non-existent looking at her companies house filing.

[DSLiverpool]

So many things I want to say about Noor but they all make me sound like an old Jewish guy with religion issues so I’m saying nothing except she was an embarrassment to everything she represented.

Shame on the BBC who knew this would happen.

I'm guessing she just set up the business to get on the show, hence it's just a copy of another website. I dare say you could never buy anything from it!

Great due diligence by the BBC researchers!

I am also cynical, but TBH I doubt it’s box-ticking in the way I think you mean it. There have been youngsters on before, and there have been Muslims on before, indeed a wide variety of all colours and creeds. I think she was picked because they thought (rightly) that having her there would make good car-crash TV and get people talking about the show. They were probably as puzzled as everyone else that she made it as far as she did!

She’s sort of an anti-Paul. He’s lost week after week but doesn’t, on the whole, come across as a complete idiot. She dodged the bullet repeatedly, purely by being in the team that won despite her efforts.

Having grown up in retail we had several shops - more than one was on a corner.
I can assure you running one is no walk in the park.

I wouldn’t trust here to run to the corner shop to get a pint of milk

Couldn't run a tap is another.

I think she'd have problems running a temperature!

I just see this week in week out.

Week one.
Winning team makes £5000 profit - Sugar "Brilliant well done, you did me proud. Here's your fun, cocktails at the Savoy. Enjoy yourselves"
Losing team makes £4999 profit - Sugar "You scum embarrass me. Useless lumps, I should fire the lot of you"

"losing team competent person."

Listen sir Allan yes we lost by £1 but their food was terrible it was the lowest possible quality so they my have won by £1 but would they get repeat business.
Whilst our team spent a bit more and gave them an experience they would pay for again.
So would you want a 1 hit wonder or a viable business with repeat custom?

LordySugar: "it makes no bleedin' difference. I've decided who's going to win based on their business plan before the bleedin' series starts filming. After that we just sack them one by one depending on who screws up each week. Most of them are just TV wannabe tossers anyway".
