Steven quotes:
"These potatoes will shine in the glistening sun, and when you have your customers enjoy these potatoes, it's not just gonna be a potato, it's gonna be an experience."

Sarah forgetting Jemma's name :joker:

They actually did better with the editing in Week 1 with 20 candidates than I thought - each candidate got at least some kind of look in, bar Jenna, who has quite literally been INV.

:worship:

I never appreciated how good the Wearable Technology episode was, despite the task being stupid, and impossible to actually excel in. Nurun totally capitulating as leader :love: The drama on team Summit :love:

The first four PMs of Series 10 were all terrible :joker:

Steven and Sarah going from OTTN5 to UTR1 between Week 1 and 2 :skull:

Howling at Nurun's pitch :laugh: Best Week 3 boot of all time?

Lord Sugar's joke about 'I saw you coming' coming off totally crude :skull:

I really dislike Katie Bulmer-Cooke. So rude to our Saz.

Sarah and Steven are icons :love:

We were robbed of them on CBB </3

Nurun's final plea is still iconic: "I'm not perfect Lord Sugar, but that's not going to stop me, Lord Sugar, no one can convince me that I can't do it, Lord Sugar, I am convinced that I can, and I am absolutely, you know, 100% [mumbling as she is thinking what to say next] determined and confident that I can be your business partner, given the oppportunity, I will, um, prove--"
Lord Sugar: "Um...yeah"

Sarah clarifying with her team that she isn't to blame constantly in light of their impending failure :love:

I am so excited for the fourth boardroom, it's one of the best of all time.

Ugh I hate Katie digging out Sarah regarding her (probably tongue-in-cheek) comments advising the girls to doll themselves up on the first task as a reason that she's not been taken seriously.

I honestly feel Sarah wasn't treated very well in the process. Everyone seemed to have it in for her.

"Ugh I won the first task as the project manager, hello! Wake up!"
"Sarah, nobody thought you were a project manager!"
"I Was good because I WON IT"

Goddess

I do feel we were robbed of seeing Steven as a PM, but equally the triple firing is an iconic moment (and was replicated purely for a gimmick the following year). I also feel Week 4 is the end of the first act in Series 10, and amazing new storylines emerge now.

I decided to tally interviews (confessionals) from the candidates. There certainly aren't as many confessionals in TA as there are in Survivor, but I think it's a good indicator of who's relevant to the episode and who's getting airtime.

Week 4
Ella - 5
James - 3
Solomon - 2
Pamela - 2
Mark - 1
Daniel - 1
Sarah - 1
Jemma - 1
Steven - 1
Lauren - 0
Felipe - 0
Sanjay - 0
Katie - 0
Roisin - 0
Bianca - 0

I'm not sure I'm ready to lose Jemma Bird and Lauren Riley in the next few eisodes, it's too soon after losing Nurun, Steven and Sarah

Katie, Pamela and Mark were such pricks to Daniel in Week 5

Week 5:
Daniel - 2
James - 2
Solomon - 2
Mark - 1
Sanjay - 1
Bianca - 1
Jemma - 1
Pamela - 1
Felipe - 0
Roisin - 0
Lauren - 0
Katie - 0

Ugh James was so gross to Jemma throughout the task and boardroom. I think it was this episode I really started to dislike him. Sanjay was really shady too :bored:

Daniel's drags of them in Week 6 and for the rest of the series<333

Jemma tearing up in her taxi interview </3

Mark and Daniel's argument back at the house, although cruel, I remember thinking was amazing bc we'd seen nothing like it (ie. this kind of footage back at the house) since like Series 4

Yassss :love:

Ugh Bianca scalped James when he was tryna put her 'in her place'.
It was like someone slapping down a yapping puppy.

'As the saying goes, a wise man speaks because he has something to say. A fool speaks because he has to say something. I'm not saying he's a fool, but he likes talking a lot.' :love:

It's so obvious that James just can't handle women who question him, such as Bianca, Roisin and Jemma.

Week 6
James - 5
Bianca - 3
Pamela - 2
Mark - 2
Daniel - 2
Roisin - 1
Solomon - 1
Katie - 0
Felipe - 0
Lauren - 0
Sanjay - 0

Here are my Series 10 midway rankings:

Daniel
Bianca
Lauren
Roisin
Solomon
Felipe
Sanjay
Mark
Katie
James

Am I the only one that lowkey wants to **** Daniel Lassman :skull:
