Yes those were the days when men just went around slapping their secretaries on their ass and ordering them to make coffee

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

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 Ł250,000 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

[Macie Lightfoot]

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

[DigitalSid]

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.

[Cherie]

There were aspects to Zee's attitude which did seem to point to him being sexist, however I suspect some of that is down to the edit rather than anything else. I think he brought Natalie back because she had been in the bottom 3 before and Sugar referred to this I think before Zee made his decision, I could be wrong though. He brought Leah back as she was the leader of the sub team, candidates have made mistakes before but haven't ended up in the boardroom, I think a big deal was made of it in the interests of "entertainment" haven't watched Your Fired yet this series so can't comment. The writing was on the wall for Zee though when he told Leah to throw away the map of Dubai...

I agree, that was such a silly thing to do. Even if you know the city really well in a big city like Dubai you probably still need a map if you're looking for things. Frankly Zee didn't give me the impression he knew the city well anyway.

he didn't mean it literally, anyone would get lost in Dubai at some stage....if leah was stupid enough to actually throw her map away then more fool her for being so weak minded
