Well the ice cream chappie deserved to get booted out tonight given that his business plan was to go into a partnership with LS to sell iced products.
Lottie was annoying again. The clocks ticking on her being given the boot if she doesn't change her ways.
I'm liking Thomas after seeing his selling skills. I think he is a chip off the old block and if he can keep it coming LS will be on his side.

I thought Ice cream boy Kenna was going to cry when he got fired yesterday. I did feel a bit sorry for him until I heard the business plan was for an ice cream business! You couldn't make it up. I actually thought the girls offering apart from the daft bits of rosemary sticking out where quite good, but did I hear right they were going to sell for £3.50 each lolly? Do people actually pay that? I must be a right tight wad. Thomas who seems to talk just like Danny Dyer came into his own yesterday, perhaps he is going to be like that another annoying bloke in another series - can't remember his name - that was super annoying but turned it around and came in the last three.

One of them looks like Meghan Markle. Scarlett it is. She is quite nice, not full of herself and feisty. Fiery and feisty is not my speciality.

Well those 2 toys were a pile of doggies doodoos. LS was right that they didn't listen properly to the brief and what the hell was John Lewis thinking about ordering 2,000 of those unicorns with a thimble of slime. No wonder their profits have dropped dramatically.

I'm so glad Thomas was saved but if he is in the losing team next week I think he could be given the boot.
Did that bird not think to say that red is the safest colour on the road be it a car or an e-bike.
Lottie really needs to go and then Marianne.
Mark-Ryan is doing my head in. He's a jumped up snob!

Thomas drove me up the wall at first but now I find him hugely entertaining. I wouldn't say I like him as such but he's cracking entertainment and I won't forget the sight of him in that lycra getting his chest out Precisely what MrL said about the red bike; go for the safety angle, you'll stand out, you'll be safer and we couldn't believe it didn't occur to sell it that way. TBH I didn't think it looked too bad but I like red. Couldn't believe so many of the blue ones were sold! It was called Aphrodite, the Goddess of Love, but looked more like something Miss Marple would use to cycle to Chipping Norton Ryan-Mark and Lottie were only 19 at the time of filming! They're like 40-year-olds trapped in young bodies! I don't think the rest like Lottie too much as absolutely everything she suggested last night was knocked back (even when it seemed a good idea/sensible choice) and I felt a bit for her when they were snubbing her left, right and centre. However she's probably a pain in the backside to be around so I can see why they're circling the wagons against her to an extent. Ryan-Mark on the other hand can come across OK on occasion but that hoity-toity accent and air of disdain would get right on my nerves. And his squidgy posh face, pure David Cameron/George Osborne squidginess going on there. Surprised he doesn't come out in hives when he has to stand next to Thomas lol! American Marianne can hold her ground in the boardroom, she even had motormouth Thomas on the rails at times. I hadn't really noticed her much until now but she's one to watch IMO.

You can see that LordSug either sees a fella barra boy in Thomas or he likes his business plan as he escaped the sack yet again yesterday. Reminds me a bit of the Inventor bloke that was in the losing team almost every time but went on to win the whole show. They really snubbed Lotty didn't they, even though she and all her family actually owned an electric bike they poo poo'ed all of her suggestions. However annoying I am sure she is, you shouldnt take your personal feelings into business.
I quite liked the orange and red bike as well, and also thought of the safety issue of being seen. The Aphrodite reminded me of a blue Chopper bike from the 1970s.
Lumber or whatever her name was who got fired came across as a bit of a nonenity but was completely different on the BBC2 Your Fired aftershow.

Suggsy Wuggsy can be biased I think, and inconsistent. Yet again Thomas survives the sack. I think Sugar likes loudmouths and sacks the least vocal member. I think to Sugar it is about who can shout the loudest. Not for me. I hate loud people.

Who's Ryan-Mark...? The gay one is called Ryan isn't he...?? The one with the podgy face who looks like Michael Macintyre... Do you mean him...?

I got it round the wrong way but his name is Ryan-Mark Parsons. This what he had to say about himself - As the youngest candidate, Ryan-Mark is ready to prove that age is irrelevant when it comes to business, describing himself as “a 60-year-old trapped in a teenager’s body”. I am the epitome of luxury. He is an award winning public speaker and says Queen Elizabeth II is his role model, admiring her ‘no-nonsense persona’. Despite believing his best asset to be his ability to “forge a connection with anyone” he admits “he’s not afraid to be ruthless when it comes to the other candidates”. What a pain in the arse!

Yay, Thomas was on a winning team!
I had to laugh at Lottie saying you don't gamble in business. WRONG!!!!! Of course you do and I'm glad LS pointed that out to her. He's spent his entire working life gambling and backed the right horse most of the time otherwise he wouldn't be a millionaire.
How thick were they though with some of the items? It's one of my favourite tasks and I always look forward to it.

I knew Sugar would love that coin tossing! Said as much to MrL. Thomas definitely reminds him of himself so I think he'll hang onto him as long as possible. And Thomas's smile when they won, awww, he's really growing on me.
This task is my absolute favourite, I could watch them doing this every week. Some wonderfully obscure items but couldn't believe that some of them didn't know what a mortarboard was.
Once again Lottie was snubbed lol! But at least she became second in command but yes, was completely wrong about not gambling in business. Look at the stock market?
Designing a roller coaster next week. That's a new one.
