Ginger Jenny should have gone. She comes across as an autocratic control freak type of manager but she had so little control over her team. She knew nothing about pricing, she didn't anticipate the logistics of getting the clothes washed and she had nothing even resembling a plan. She didn't seem to have a clue about anything other than telling others to shut up when she's talking. I was surprised that none of the girls took her on and tried to bring her down to size.
The incident in the taxi with Lucinda was amazing. It wasn't a discussion it was an assault. At that time Jenny had no idea of how well or badly her team had done but she decided to pick an argument with Lucinda anyway. I couldn't believe it. I think Jenny made a bit of a burk of herself in last nights episode. She showed she neither had the temperment or the skill set to go much further in the competition. And, she's just plain mean.
Shazia showed order and direction in the system she set up for identifying the laundry but, she was asked by Jenny to leave and go back to the house. Jenny did not acknowledge this at any time in the board room. If it had not been for Shazia's organising the cleaning the girls would have lost by even more.
This years candidates seem to be a bit of a timid bunch. they dont seem to want to say anything in the boardroom. Have they seen the show before?

What amazed me the most was when Jenni accused Shazia of lying...I was suprised that Sir Alan didn't ask what lies Shazia was supposed to have told. Jenni clearly has no 'people skills' at all, and no idea how to talk to people.
Jenni's comment about having to breastfeed Lucinda and Shazia conjured up some unfortunate images - I'm thinking she might have meant to say 'spoon feed'.
