Both designs were so far beyond incompetence it just feels like it was a setup. Perhaps the BBC crew have a lot of influence off camera to make things more interesting?
Team A gets a pod and bee stickers and told to make something of it and Team B gets a pod and the letters T R S A O D P and nothing else?
The red carpet had holes in it, which suggests it ws found at the last minute, rather than planned in advance.

The hand of some 'bright young thing' BBC producer looks to be in evidence, as has already been said the sensible thing to do would be a sleek classy businesslike design that offends nobody. But no, we get a tarts boudoir with a karaoke machine FFS or a Playmobil toy designed to appeal to nursery kids.

As for the winning team leader..... sheesh.

This show really has become beyond ridiculous.

We are now down the the best looking girls, just need Kathryn to be fired next. She's a very pretty girl but when back n the house with makeup off, she don't look quite so pretty.

As for the very lovely Brittany, she is on an eco mission with everything having to be based around sustainability and environment. That's fine, but the product they are selling doesn't have to have this plastered all over it.

Environmentally friendly is an admirable quality in a product, but without it being the main feature. Her pod could have beed designed to look so much better, with the environmental qualities used as a selling point during the presentation. No need to force it down peoples throats. Talking of throats, err, on second thoughts - no, I had bet not go there!!!

He reminds me of that bloke on the Fast Show that always used to change his arguments to agree with whoever was talking to him.
It's certainly edited to make him look like Indecisive Dave

Does anybody watch the ‘Your Fired’ programme.
Haven’t watched it this year.... Can’t stand Tom Allen ‘Trying’ to be amusing. Dara & Rhod were great though.
I do. I think Tom Allen is brilliant, very funny, and it's a cracking little show. I love him on the Bake Off follow up show too ("Extra Slice"?).

The candidates on "You're Fired" usually come across much better than on the main show, in my opinion. I guess they're much less stressed by that time.

i think they come across better because they're not "edited" to ridiculous levels for the sake of "entertainment". It really is getting silly and predictable now - a candidate will make a reasonable suggestion and the camera cuts away to the others looking puzzled/shocked/aghast and then Karran/Tim looking supercilious, along with dramatic music.

It was interesting in yesterdays episode how they had gone back to the old "format" where one team is made to look absolutely useless all the way through until the Boardroom where they conjure a "surprising win".

I'll still watch it but it's getting increasingly boring and predictable.

Shame Sophie's gone, her mean and moody persona was intriguing!
She always looked on the verge of a breakdown, but I wasn't sure whether she was going to burst into tears or go completely psycho!
It would explain why Aaron permanently looks either bewildered or scared laugh

Always find it funny how different some of the girls look like without their slap on when they show those little clips of them on You're fired.

Almost didn't recognise Brittany at first yesterday.
She looked like she was made from tracing paper.

I can't help thinking Karen and Carla both chose the same face from the cosmetic surgery catalogue. Spooky.

Akeem has more lives than a cat. I think Tim Campbell is just waiting for him to be on the losing team so he can tell Sugar to get rid of him. He's got two of the luckiest wins as team leader, he's beyond useless and needs to grow a set. As for Brittany the rest of the candidates need to tell her to stop wittering on about bees, get off her soap box and concentrate on doing stuff that makes the team win.

Names re meaningless.
I Know Knockers has gone, that leaves Boushy, dwarf and some others.
Had to smile when Boushy said she doessn't trust the other girl not to be tacky...Boushy!

Every time I hear Akeem (the African dream) too, I can't help think of the wrestler walking to the ring.

When they showed Brittany on A:YF I actually assumed it was one of the earlier contestants that has been fired...

I think Akshay and Akeem despite both being terrible will make it to the interviews

Think it will be those two, Kathryn and Brittany (assuming it's 4)

Nice article here:

You sometimes trach a point in a 'test' situation (my Part 3 ADI exam comes to mind) where you stop caring about the result; you just want the ordeal to be over! So when it is over, all the stress just drains away.
