Agreed. Plus he labelled it the worst disaster ever seen in the boardroom.

I don’t see how considering I’ve seen some teams lose money on tasks before.

I so thought that was strange and obviously intrue.

I watched the episode again and was struck by a strange comment that Karen made about how you had to catch tons of crabs because most of them wouldn't be edible. How would these candidates be expected to know that? I didn't know.

I'm still completely baffled about the fishing segment because it was pure 'tv spin' and nothing to do with business.

I think that quote was a typical "we'll put this in the preview for next week's episode" tactic. More people are likely to tune in if they think they're about to witness the worst ever performance by a team.

And yeah I agree regarding Karren's comment. She acts like teams are thick for not knowing everything there is to know about each task. When I'm sure both her and Tim are given an outline of each task well in advance and are basically told the 'best' way to run the task and all the potential pitfalls. That way they're both primed to roll their eyes and say "this is what they should have done" as soon as each team makes a mistake.

The problem is that we only see a small amount of what actually happens. Perhaps the info in the folder gave more info about all the fish than we saw?

To me, it feels like we're seeing less of what goes on in the tasks than we did before.
 
Welp, there’s my eye candy gone then 😢 I even forget about selling the catch of the day whilst I was watching! Akshay needs to go; I reckon he’s only being kept in because of his business plan. He, Aaron, Akeem, Nick, Amy, Sophie and Brittany are all useless imo! I think Alex was just very out of his depth, I’m sad to see him go because he did seem quite handsome capable and a good business man.

It was such an odd task, the Cornwall team were essentially just fishing and cooking, no wonder some didn’t do well, they probably have no experience! Performance in this task didn’t really show me who would be a better business partner

Agreed. Some of these tasks seem like they've been set up for them to fail and for entertainment purposes only which is a shame

Also wondering what kind of a world are we in where parents are apparently unable to teach their kids to brush their teeth without a stupid app that records that an electric toothbrush is being shaken about a bit. Where did the last 2000 years of evolution go. If you need this you have FAILED AS A PARENT :ROFLMAO:

I bet Apple would love it for everyone to have to buy their 8 year old kids extra ipads/iphones/tablets to leave in the bathroom by the sink so they can clean their teeth.



Not just that, also his scummy behaviour in the cafe afterwards, his aggressive searching for someone to blame is no way to conduct yourself in business.

I didn’t do this with mines and he is fine. Maybe people need to take a bit more understanding about sen kids. It’s not so easy on them
