I'm with Butts here, she is very nice and a decent candidate to go with it
my favourite to win I think is mark though after the last task

Well Super James or what........ Victory !!!
Pamela got her comeuppance after trying to get Daniel Fired last week - however arguably a triple firing may have been merited with Daniel and Lauren joining her.
Katy did nothing, but like Solomon last week got away with it.
Mark is getting to big for his boots and needs taking down a peg or two

The editing for last night's show highlighted the how manipulative Mark is. He's gone down a peg or two in my estimations. In fairness to Katie, she must have contributed something but the editing just meant we didn't see much of it!
The Relationship Guru was a truly terrible idea. As soon as Pamela decided to go with it, I knew they would lose and she would struggle to justify ignoring the research (and common sense). I was honestly amazed that ToysRUs thought it worth having. The key to this task was family fun, education and the engagement of children. GeoKnow has a great name and I think Lord Sugar was genuinely pleased with it.
TRG, on the other hand, missed all of these things by a very wide margin. I too would leave if anyone produced it at a party. Cringeworthy.

Anyone want to play "Relationship Guru"? I scored a worryingly high 28/36

Don't know about that, but she certainly gives the appearance of a winner. A shame Lauren couldn't have been dispensed with, if only to save time later. Mark seemed genuinely surprised to be brought up short by Sralan, and I think his card has now been marked. James frustratingly keeps on finishing up on the winning team, even if last week it was only just, as I'm sure the Order of the Boot awaits as soon as he isn't. Daniel doesn't look to be a team player and seems to have no allies on either team, which is quite unusual except when there's a real psycho left in this stage of the process.

I like Mark, I've appreciated his contribution and ability over the last few weeks. I don't think much of Daniel, and I don't think Lauren will get much further either.
I think Felipe and Katie have been quiet lately but that's not to say they haven't been working in the background more. The latest tasks haven't been lost by people not contributing. I think Katie has definite potential.

Daniel and his annoying self promotion irritated me intensely at first, but now I'm starting to feel a bit sorry for him. I don't think he's good enough to win, and he's certainly not as good as he thinks he is but he isn't as bad as everyone else tries to make out either.
As a classic 'Dannynomates' he's the ideal scapegoat for the other candidates to use to deflect from their own failings.

Daniel and James need to go. Lauren, Mark, the northern girl and Roisin are all contenders I think, although Lauren has been playing the game so far (and to be fair, managed to play it a lot longer than other people).
Bianca's mistake in offering exclusivity to the whole of Westminster for 6 games was inexcusable.

That would have been a ideal opportunity for Lord Sugar to adopt my idea and fire someone on the winning team
Her "one to one" confrontation with James at the house was an interesting development.

I concur with both those points.
Coming just after a similar mistake in telling customers they were her last chance to sell the empty seats on the bus last week and undermining her own sale, means that she must surely be close to the chop. As soon as she's on a losing team I think she'll be out.

Why bother waiting till she's on the losing team ?
Because as yet there's no evidence that Lord Sugar will, or can, fire anyone from the winning team!
Much as I'd love to see it on occasion, it;s pretty fundamental principle of the programme that if you win, you're safe, and it encourages candidates to at least try to make sure they are on the winning side.
The effect of firing people who win would be to increase the amount of game playing, and backside covering, and there's plenty of that already!

Mark should absolutely have gone in this episode. He deliberately misrepresented himself to be PM over Lauren, and then made sure that he didn't give her responsibility for anything so he could claim that she didn't contribute anything. He played the game.

Disagree, should have been Daniel that went, I know they said Lauren did nothing but what did Felipe do?
James, Bianca and Soloman seemed to make a good team which was a suprise after last week.

I'd have fired Felipe in all honesty. That advert was complete cobblers.

I'd have fired: Daniel, Mark and Felipe, but as the series has to last so long I think that they'll be one more double firing at most, so I chose Daniel as I'm fed up with him saying he's good at everything, when the only thing he seems to be good at is saying he's good at something.

I can't believe Bianca has hung on - mind you she looks like a Klingon so perhaps we shouldn't be surprised.

True, and the other female member of the team did a "Solomon" once again.

Mine won't even let me watch The Apprentice when she's around, never mind do anything that is connected with the show!

LS seems to see something in Daniel that I can't. He hasn't been very good at much so far, except saying how good he is at everything and the agreeing that he isn't when Sugar tells him that.
I think those that are left are a bit dismal. Mark failed last night because he didn't organise his team correctly. He tried to give Daniel so much rope that he could hang himself, but it didn't work. Having Felipe and Lauren at the pitch was a mistake, but I reckon it was a deliberate move so that he (Mark) could look good.
Felipe is cute and amusing but when it comes to business he hasn't shone. Bianca is prone to making rather big mistakes when dealing with the public/customers. James is just a nightmare.
That just leaves Katie, Roisin, Sanjay and Solomon unless I've missed someone out, and I think they are the ones that should make up the final four.

It's about good telly not competence. I'll bet that James and Mark both make it to the interview stage just because Claude Littner tearing them a new one will make great telly.
Yes, you've got a point there. I think competence does come into it, but they also have to recognise during the filming and editing, that it has to be entertaining and engaging for the audience.
I'm sure that there's a lot that happens that we don't see, which will account for the fact that sometimes the decisions made seem a bit strange or unfair.

Mark should have gone. Daniel was pretty good last night. For the first half of the task it looked like Mark's plan to hang Daniel out to dry was going to backfire badly. Daniel can't take all the blame for the bad packaging as both Katie and Lauren were involved. In fact Lauren claimed it was all her idea on the phone - kept quiet about taht in teh boardroom didn't she??
Mark just wanted a first class freebie in New York.

I'm wondering how they got the Electronic Visas to go to the USA so quickly if they did not know in advance they were going 
Mind you thinking about it last time I got one I think it only took a few hours to come through.

Think they are pretty much instant once you've filled out the online form and paid the fee (providing you are excepted).
I remember last year I couldn't check in as my visa waiver was out of date. 10 minutes online and all was well.
