Zeeshan is being a massive dick towards Natalie. I hope she proves him wrong.

Glad Natalie survived, she tried to say and he just ignored her.

the truth
28-05-2013, 09:08 PM
he shoul have fire the 3 of them, 3 of the worst candidates ever
zee is arrogant beyon words, leah is pig ignorant and moans throughout every task, natalie is invisible until she screams in the boardroom...useless

lines of the week go to the dark lord and alex
sugar says (in light of kirk getting all his measurements), "miles, I think kirk will be claling you kilometres"

then alex waltzing through the arabian market place in search of oud, he gets offered viagra, "dont need any of that butt im from wales,,,

also the flag being the size of a pimple on an elephant, vintage sugar

the truth
28-05-2013, 09:09 PM

come off it she was as useless as him........she just played for sympathy to the cameras.....if she had any backbone and wanted to win the task shed have grabbed a phone book and started phoning....shes useless

I agre she could have tried harder but he was a moronic, stubborn, rude, sexist, arrogant and dim-witted prick. For that reason he was the right person to have been fired.

Joelle.
28-05-2013, 09:18 PM
Tbf that dark haired woman is stupidly patronising

MTVN
28-05-2013, 09:22 PM
Yeah she's a bit up herself and looks really smug every time the audience claps or laughs at what she says, hoping Zee will just start mouthing off at her in a minute

28-05-2013, 09:26 PM
They will have to dedicate a whole episode to Jason's best bits. He might even beat Raef before the end of the series :worship:

GypsyGoth

Oh right

the truth
28-05-2013, 10:11 PM
i thought that sho as a disgrace, they went way over the top on zee.....totslly bullie him and showed no balnce in their critique either
these so called successful business people seem to go on these shows and display earth shattering self righteous sanctimoniousness ......like lara morgan tonight........it seems to have folloe from gordon ramsey types. arrogant T**ts using their power and position to patronise and demean less experienced people

Benjamin

That short hairy loser is one of the most brilliant military minds in history and was the most powerful man in Europe during his rule :nono:

Suppose that is a bit like Zee come to think of it as well

Kizzy
29-05-2013, 12:23 AM
He still lost :laugh:

GiRTh
29-05-2013, 09:11 AM
It jumped the shark.

You could tell what was gonna happen even before it id. The moment they read out the measurement for the flag it was clear it was gonna be about a quarter of the size. Zee then choosing to not bring in any of the team members who made a mistake but bring in the two - he felt made the least contribution who happened to be women - left him open to the accusation made by Natalie in the boardroom. Her accusation were fair enough TBH. He needed to explain why he didn't bring in the team members who actually made mistakes.

For me this was another sign the his show has gone down the sh!tter. Also, I think Zee is the thickest candidate to have ever been chosen for the show. Just incredibly stupid. He cant think ahead or anticipate two or three steps ahead. Truly stupid bloke who thinks by just talking people will not see how dumb he is. He should never have got anywhere near this show. He reminds me of many bosses I've worked for. :wink:

I still can't get over the fact 3 of them thought there were 12cm in a foot!It was an error, not a big error cuz ultimately it didn't cost them the task but still a mistake.

I watched the show with my daughter and her boyfriend - both are 18 - and I was the only one in the room who spotted the error. Neither of them noticed. When I asked them they were surprised I knew the difference between inches and cent. They say they were never taught it. WTF these two have just left school. Both of them got more than 10 GCSE's but dont know inches from cent's.

I knew the moment it was ordered.....2 meteres is around 78 inches......yet they thought 72 cm was 6 foot? basically 1 inch is 2.5 cm yet no one picked up on this error? amazing

I do think he DID take the right people into the boardroom though as both did nothing...Natalie did nothing as always, leah destroyed the task but simply moaning and complaining and getting personal from the start...she also ignorantly demanded she be boss, them sub team boss, she did an awful job and only got 1 product....the accusation of taking in the worng people is a fair argument but I think zee countered it well and I think he did take in the right people....But the accusation of sexism is a disgrace and if I was him Id take legal action as that will seriously hurt his career

It was an excuse that he gave them by not thinking things thru. The man was a prize idiot.

As has been pointed out, these days on the Apprentice there is very little harmony. Most candidates realise that if they undermine the PM then they have an instant excuse in the boardroom. Leah tactics were no different to many others that have been in the process so I was shocked Zee fell into the trap of bringing in a candidate who had openly criticised him. This usually leads to all the dirty laundry being aired in the board room. I was disappointed that Leah didn't stick it to him TBH. She had the ammo but she was a bit wet in the BR IMO. Luisa would have tore him a new one if she had been in Leah's position. For me, Nat was the one who got personal or hysterical depending on how you look at it.

I disagree that Zee countered the arguments well. He was trying to deflect but there was no where to go, the two who made mistakes were back at the house. Zee made himself a sitting duck in the end.

No but seriously he was sexist....
It wasn't just that it was the blatent way zee ignored the glaringly obvious failings of the tasks by the two male candidates to focus on her. It was obvious he was just picking who he considered the weakest link of the whole lot and not specifically his task, that backfired.
The Irish lass was right to pull him up on his failings and Sugar was wrong to suggest she was making it personal, he was acting in an egotistical manner towards her and others. His attitude is not right for the winning spot there's bravado and assuredness and there's arrogance and incompetence.

I 100% disagree....I think he showed tremendous dignity and humour in fending off the utterly preposterous accusations of sexism, Id have been onto my lawyer immediately. his reputation has been wrongly tainted by that vicious slur. frankly if hed called them racist for having a go at the only Asian in the team, that counter claim wouldn't have been any less absurd than their claim

sugar saw through that and rightly warned leah whose behaviour was disgusting throughout

sugar sacked zee for losing and for overseeing team that made a few bad errors, but sugar has marked the cards of leah and Natalie.......those 2 clowns don't seem to realise that being nasty petty vindictive and making false accusations will never wash with sugar. they've already lost. theres more chance of mr blobby becoming his business partner.

whereas some others made mistakes it wasn't really showing a blackness of character that these 2 have displayed.

yes they were both useless on the task
leah demanded she be deputy team leader she got 1 product all day?

Natalie did nothing

they just dealt the dirtiest card from the bottom of the deck i.e. the poor me sexist card , it was a disgrace
as for leah how is she an experienced business person? hasn't she been in med school for the past 7 years?

all they should have done was stick to the task and try and prove what they actually contributed , which was very little, so in desperation they slandered him.....he was way way too nice in accepting such a disgusting personal attack

He was sexist. Even on You're hired he failed to properly explain why he took those two in to the boardroom over the two in his team that actually messed up and cost him the win, and said it was just coincidence that it looked like sexism. He ignored Natalie and her input, he riled up Leah and didn;t even have the common courtesy to hold the door for Natalie on return to the boardroom.

Zee definitely gave a chauvenistic vibe of, and clearly couldn't handle Leah right from the off, he clearly didn't want to bring his male friends who were at fault back with him into the board room but I also thought Leah didn't deal with it very well either...so it was a bit of a shambles all round really.

It was funny at the end when Kurt readily admitted he was at fault, and couldn't believe he'd gotten away with it..it was a rare moment when they all seemed to be fairly comfortable with each other.

youre wrong and if you made such a nonsense accusation in the real world you would be rightly sued the pants off
he perfectly justified it and did so politely too....he said leah was negative from the start offered no support, demanded she be leader then after a democratic vote to have zee as leader she demanded she lead the sub team with no discussion or asking others....zee rightly said he gave her this chance showing he wasn't in any way sexism or biased......she failed , she ignored him from the start slagged him off every single second and in the end she contributed almost nothing and came back with just 1 product a deal she herself did not clinch

meanwhile Natalie has been on the losing team every week (possible 1 off) each week shes done almost nothing of note, she only ever pipes up in the boardroom, she contributed nothing, no products , no ideas and she simply played to the cameras for pity.....lets face it the team were a disaster but leah dragged it down more than anyone and Natalie simply did nothing.....at least the other 2 showed energy and purpose and positive efforts.

Sued? I doubt that. It is a shame that zee didn't see Natalie faults as well as you can.
The boys were as much use as a chocolate fireguard in that task, LS warned leah to step up next time and not be shouted down, I think she will take that on board.

Benjamin
30-05-2013, 12:07 AM
Hmm, but for Lord Sugar to agree that he took the wrong two back means a lot. Usually he'll slate a PM for bringing one person back who shouldn't have been, but to bring two is just asking for instant firing. I actually think may have survived if he had brought Kurt or Neil back. And I don't get why Zee said he didn't bring Kurt back because Kurt would have been fired over a simple mistake that anyone could make??? Most people would not confuse inches and cm.

did he actually say he took the wrong too back? lets not forget that despite all the false and vile allegations of so called sexism just because he took 2 women into the boardroom (something loads of women have done over the years and never ever been accused of sexism, but then again men never do bother making petty accusations like we saw last night) that the women have lost most tasks and Natalie especially.....leahs performance was awful last night and her attitude throughout was even worse.....
also he couldn't sack kurt for the small flag alone, not only would that have been harsh, but he and the others were present went they gave the wrong measurements...kurt isn't a great candidate but again he was part of the winning side for the first few weeks...same for the other fella on the team

Yes. In You're Fired LS said that he brought the wrong two back. Yes the women may not have been great, but it was between Neil, Zee and Kurt as to why they failed the task. And he couldn't sack Kurt for the flag. sorry but to **** up such a simple thing is very negative thing in my mind. You expect **** ups like that from children and silly people. not people that want to run a successful business.

Being on the winning side means nothing unless you actually contributed. The winner Tom from S7 was not on the winning team I believe 8/10 tasks but that wasn't down to him.

zee did contribute to the wins he had in the first 3 or 4 weeks
he also contributed the most on this task as he got the most products and haggled the prices down by asking for the boss

he only lost by a small margin on account of the Leahs sub team only bringing in 1 product

as for leah she tells zee on their first phone call stop talking we haven't got time...pretty ignorant ....she then goes straight to camera and says Id have been a better team leader, petty pathetic

also if you want to look at mistakes well sub team leader leah was in the shop when they bought the wrong type of kandoura....her sub team only got 1 product and were well beaten by the other sub team

meanwhile the whole flag fiasco , watch it again, zee says 6 foot by 4 foot, kurt says 12cm is a foot, Natalie says YES....also the one bit where zee supposedly ignores Natalie is when she says shall we look up perfume shops , this is almost halfway through when oud is clearly not a perfume....so shes part of the mistakes too......meanwhile leah failed to find oudh and the opposition SUB TEAM did find it by process of elimination instead of moping about blaming it all on their team leader... leah just blamed it all on zee

Well that is as may be, but anyone going into a reality TV programme must be aware of the risks now of coming out of it with dignity not intact, and I'm pretty sure they must sign all sorts of disclaimer when they sign up, they want the fame they got to take the rough with the smooth.

no he did the right thing he was true to himself, he was very honest in all that he said and yet the reward you get for honesty on this show is what? career ruination? especially if youre a man.

he took in the 2 weakest performers and got falsely accused of discrimination. He really should take legal action. Its a very serious matter which will damage his reputation and future career. Obviously we know how corrupt the bbc is so gender bias towards women is obviously the way they will go at this stage, using innocent men to sacrifice at the alter of political correctness.....One glorious day we will see a man accuse a woman of sexism in the boardroom.....Alas men are never so quick to make such cheap shot accusations
