Hi,

Been enjoying the series so far. So interesting people are starting to appear.

Edna Agbarha looks value for money on the entertainment front. She comes across as a "I know best" character and almost coming a cropper on a times. What has saved her is that the female team has won twice.

Leon Doyle has been in the boardroom twice. He made a mess of the juicing of the oranges in the 1st task and was team leader in the 2nd task.

Jim Eastwood has haggled a few good deals and save the day during a sales pitch. He does come across as a confident talker. He managed to get Leon to change his mind on taking him into the boardroom.

The two that have been fired seem to be the right decisions.

I can't watch it as the urge to attack the TV is just too strong!

 

Ditto.

 

Hi,

I enjoy watching these so called "perfect people" coming a cropper.

Good entertainment.

good rubbish on this show, maybe one day we will see real people with a goal to achieve with in their own devices.

 

While I kind of like the programme, the simplistic nature of the "business" exercises is irritating, generally only revolving around cost to produce v sales price and occasionally if really imaginative a budget v high end positioning decision. Sadly real life in a job equivalent to the winner's has many more dimensions. I know there's only so much you can fit into a made-for-TV hour, but for all the posturing, rhetoric and City backdrop these are average graduate job assessment centre exercises.

I love this show and myself and the other half are completely addicted to it. I just adore the sheer 'corporate bullshit' factor of it. I used to work in big corporate business and have seen so many of these pillocks come and go. I just love it, it is so funny.
