Anyone watching this series? I'm hooked.
Sugar came across as a bit of a barsteward at first, but he's certainly sorting the men from the boys. Tend to disagree with his choice of sackee tonight tho'. , thought twerpy Paul should have gone. He's so up himself. Not a team player AT ALL.
Must say, having been in business myself, its nice to sit on the sidelines (aka sofa) and speculate and watch. Better than the old gladiators of my youth !! ha ha .

Check out the american series... Alot more cut throat and entertaining.

Sira (sp) should have got the bullet loads of times now - can't take direction, always knows best
Oh and can't talk properly!

I can't stand all of them, they are all a bunch of dodgy losers, but I agree with the person he sacked, that presentation she did was the most unprofessional thing I've ever seen, looked like something schoolkids would knock up.

But leaving the 'MAC-man' on his own for 2 hours whilst moving chairs around was the real criminal offence and it showed
Out with Sira, she should have gone before and she knew she should have gone last night

Sira - incredibily annoying bitch, so so bossy and full of herself.

I thought from 1/2 hr in one of those 2 girls would have to go - i mean WTF was that 'mood board' FFS! And Mac Man - jeeezus how **** was that ad had to LOL that someone had torn it up & then sellotaped it back together - bet that was Paul in a rage once he saw the POS they had produced - hahahahaha

The one that went was a munter so it makes the rest of the series easier on the eye

I reckon James (posh Price Andrew lookalike) or the Black chap will win.

Both excellent candidates.

Alan certainly seems to be thinning the women out.......

Yeah, She was a stuckup manipulative little bitch, I feel sorry for that paul guy actually, yeah sure he was team leader but at least he had the ***** to accept the responsibility of the failiure they had, That fooking sira thou, She wanted to do what she wanted to do and just constantly argued with that other woman, she had every say in that advert, and then when sugar told them what i diabolical POS it was, that sire is stating something like 'I catagorically and completely blame paul (team leader) for everything' or something,

What a f*cking bitch!!!!!!!!!!!!! Accept some frigging responsibility, I'm all against men hitting women, so will some woman, for the love of god, please lamp her one!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I saw that too Regulator, she catagoratly(?) lied about the handshake. And yes, the room move about, what was all that about ?
I notice they move one of the other team over to this team next week, poor person, must wonder what they did to deserve it.
It's riveting viewing.
And yes, I agree with Dr Hu, Sure one of those two guys is going to be the outright winner.

That women dancing was hilarious though, the looks on those executives faces
Then she continued to explain her nursery attempt at marketing, the collage, to Sugar, she deserved to go.

Anyone who presents themselves as an advertising guru & classes producing a "Mood Board" (known as cut & stick to my three year old.) as constructive input to the project deserves to be shot.
Paul & Saira were far from perfect, but at least keep sight of what needed achieving.
Shame the bumbling General Melchett was kicked out last week, I hated him but he was good entertainment value.

Any one of the four from that team could have been sacked.

- Sira (?) for lying and blaming everyone except her mouthy self
- the one who was fired for the mood board, nuff said
- Paul for being a control freak and not managing the others at all
- The quiet pudgy Asian chap with glasses for not doing ANYTHING

Thought the female team leader on the other side was excellent last night

I had to laugh when one of the guys said to her "you talk too much.... my ears are hurting!"

I think my class of school children could have done better than that lot on the poster.

I've been watching it every week... great programme!

I loved the art done by the couple last week.

Saira was the reason she went off to make the bloody thing in the first place, the daft bitch wouldnt back down over the advert(which she didnt even supervise) and fecked off to rearrange chairs ffs.

Mood board woman(whats her name??) realised that if she pushed her points about the advert things were gonna turn nasty between her and Saira, having seen how Saira acted toward Paul after their altercation she took the moral high ground and backed off.

Saira should have gone long ago, lying about the handshake with Paul was dispicable. Yes his advert may have missed the point and not pushed the product enough but at least it was a well made piece of work, unlike the advert.

Was very surprised when Sugar said she spoke well, she can barely string a sentence together :roll:

I dont think the advisors say enough personally, they see the BS being touted and should pipe up more IMO.
