That episode didn't sit well with me.

Sugar was outsmarted and decided he couldn't be having that so engineered it so that he could fire Felipe.

Even ignoring the skeleton they were by far the better team.

Sanjay has to be next to go? Should have gone today of course.

Fining them for bringing back a bit of rope (that they got for nothing) because it was too long is a joke as well.  Doesn't Sugar have a pair of scissors in his organisation that he can use?  It's not as though it cost them any more, and he was just being a tit.

As for the skeleton, if he wanted a plastic one he should have said.  He even called the other team's skeleton a 'real one' at one point.  He should have been more specific with the brief if he wanted a plastic skeleton.

Never before has the artifice of the show been so clearly revealed.

"Nick, even though this team did everything right according to the instructions they were given, I don't like this skeleton thing so could you fine them enough so they lose"

Felipe must be a pretty shit lawyer if he couldn't argue that the skeleton was valid.

Agreed she revealed two other hidden assets last night on top of her many other skills!

Absolutely, the skeleton issue allowed LordSirAlan to choose the winning team, which obviously meant choosing the team which didn't include Roisin.
As I recall it she was one of the girls who found the suggestion that they should use their feminine wiles to their advantage in Week One, but wasn't above the flirty looks and hair-tossing when she needed it last night.
She's still favourite though.

Felipe committed the cardinal sin of making your prospective employer/investor look stupid and deserved to be fired just for that reason.

Can't agree with that at all, his prospective employer looked stupid entirely because of his own actions.  His employer would have looked way better if he smiled and congratulated him on his initiative.

Totally spot on. Whatever sugar likes to portray pr wise about being a man from the streets who grafted his way to the top the hard way selling computers from the back of a van he loves an arse kissing yes man to stroke his ego and being surrounded by pretty young females.  He has surrounded himself with them for years.  Just look at Nick is there anyone on TV who is more yes man and annoying than him?  The last two girls on last years show prove the latter as well.  

I thought the lawyer had pulled a master stroke off last night with that coup which could have ended up with him winning the event.  I wish he had gone down big time though justifying himself like a top lawyer should have done.  Sugars ego won the day though and his two yes men Karen and Nick just nodded along like the lap dogs they are. Sorry state of affairs as sugar has spent decades bending rules and ironing people out himself to get where he is now. Fair play to the lawyer for Taking the gamble.

Felipe should have known Sugars ego would not take lightly to being made to look stupid and that is the reason to get fired. I do agree though that it was a smart idea one that Sugar would have gladly used himself.

He has dodged a bullet then not having to go into business which such a ***** of an investor imo!  What's good for the goose is good for the gander.

Yep, Sugar has obviously done ok for himself but I really wouldn't want to get in to bed with him. He'd take 99% of the bed and insist on AMS logo'd pillows for you to bite on.
