yeah but if you dig behind daily mail headlines youll realise that theres good and bad everywhere and theres just as many bad woman as men...lies about who is the father of the children were always told......the abuse that women impose on men usually goes unreported but when the information is gathered, the share of domestic violence is pretty much 50/50 Im sure that was just the same in the 1950s as it is today....

Im amazed that you actually fell for this token feminism in this episode where the desperate under-performing canddiates grasped at the last straw of making a false allegation of sexism.....that's incredibly naïve.
There's a pretty massive middle ground between 'women showing no respect to men' and 'all men being evil and all women being good'

I think you might be taking things a bit seriously here Zee was a weak candidate and deserved the boot frankly.

I don't understand that statement,there is no other candidate that has shown themselves to be to be as dogmatic and discriminatory as zee was to his female team members, that is a fact.
Not one that will be very attractive to you, yet there it is.
I am going to go so far as to say that there may be a reason you feel so strongly on this issue. As I recall you have never been a great supporter of females in the workplace.. Taking my view from other threads and responses from yourself.
That is not an insult, I just feel that colours your perception.

lol hilarious am I supposed to take your so called analysis seriously
many women have taken in 2 men to the boardroom and no man would stoop so low as to blame it on sexism.
Zee wasn't discriminatory at all , that's simply a lie.
Your claims about females in the workplace about me personally is also a lie based on nothing , just hysterical nonsense to be honest.
Ive worked with 100s of women and employed many and no one has ever had any issue with me on matters of gender bias, so a lifetimes experience proves your shallow analysis the utter shallow baseless poppycock it is.
Perhaps it is you who have serious hate issues with men that need to be dealt with? Try some counselling perhaps. That is not an insult.

It's a reality show. we arn't dealing with the greatest minds in Britain. This isn't Question Time or Newsnight Review, it's a freaking reality show. get over it.

the man claimed to be an expert about Dubai, they had a Dubai task and he failed it. It's obvious why he went. He went because he had every advantage, but he screwed it up.

Its not trivialits one of the biggest prizes on tv, a show with a £250,000 prize and a major career ahead..Its only treated as trivial because its a man being bullied....so who cares....but if its a woman being picked on then suddenly its a national issue? remember shilpa-gate? it was brought up by the prime minister for goodness sakes....this show is seen by tens of millions, its paid for by us the tax payers and also is seen as a beacon for budding entrepreneurs....To see a pretty harmless entrepreneur with great ambition treated so shamefully on the after show was disgraceful
.It is important, I think you perhaps you rant less on trivial issues and treat serious issues with more respect

I see you've changed your original post...strange how you so often side against the hetro males? hmmmm
zee did better on the task than leah and Natalie, he contributed more products, he got them cheap as he spoke to the bosses, he spoke to leah with way way more respect than she did to him....the way she spoke to him was far more discriminatory and was a disgrace

oh please, every single contestant is getting paid a salary to be there, and so is Alan Sugar. How much is Alan sugar getting paid to appear on the show? He's not giving up 250 grand of his own money.

I thought the sexism accusations were disgusting, it was uncomfortable to watch. Also disappointed how Lord Sugar/Karen/Nick didn't step in to defend him. Zee may be a prick but he's an equal opportunity prick, didn't think he was being sexist at all

It's Zee's job to defend himself and he did a **** job at it

It wasn't that alone they were basing it on, he was generally dismissive of the women throughout, the bit with Natalie in the car was shocking and very telling.
