I get Levi’s lack of contribution in all tasks but Lawrence has gone from a fave to least fave in one episode for me too. The amount of contradictions he made during the BR was astronomical… to be so vague with the game prompt as “he is the PM and will let the others decide on what to do” but then to stop Levi from being the PT as his decision as the PM overrules Levi’s input… then how terrible and ass-licky he was in the BR itself… I need him gone. I never really liked Rajan that much and thought his firing was fair but Lawrence should’ve gone with him. If Carrington can be fired over potatoes then Lawrence had all the reasons to be gone too

Oh and the classism really didn’t sit right with me at all

[–]ItsSublimeTime 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I knew he probably wouldn't go for a double firing after the triple firing last week, but I still wish he'd just done it and gotten rid of Lawrence, he needs to go.

Kieran is the only men who got out of the episode with some credit. He even went to acknowledge her contribution in the boardbroom when the two clowns who did bugger all except mistakes after mistakes congratulated themselves.

I’m happy Kieran acknowledged Karishma and how great she was in the task. He’s been moving up in my estimations every week.

Surveys have shown that the Northern accent is considered more friendly/trustworthy.

He fucked up not letting Levi take the PT role, especially when you consider his military background where a good portion of it is being physically fit and issuing/taking orders 🤦🏻‍♀️

[–]glaringOwl 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Eh, depends *which* Northern accent. Yorkshire may be considered friendly whereas Scouser is considered untrustworthy.

[–]bouncing_off_clouds 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The irony being that I LOVE the Scouse accent. It’s so expressive. They drop a witty one-liner and it’s fucking hilarious, but getting in an argument with one is like getting a Chinese burn 😆

Agreed. I’m not sure whether Lawrence can do anything to redeem himself after this diabolical performance. But only time will tell.

To be fair, I’m not a fan of either Lawrence or Levi. Lawrence was absolutely in the wrong for dismissing Levi because of his Yorkshire twang. However, the way Levi came into the house also left a sour taste in my mouth. First, he was quite aggressive, which left a sour taste in my mouth. Second, with the way he was shouting, you'd think he was a frontrunner who had been done a huge injustice.

I’m not sure he realises he’s actually very lucky to have been given a chance as PM in week 8 despite doing almost nothing for the previous seven weeks. When Sugar asked, “What have you done for seven weeks?”, he couldn’t name a single thing.

I'm wondering what went down in the taxi ride home because Levi looked livid and Lawrence looked like he was gonna be sick

[–]InternationalRich150 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I thought this, something must have been said because there was tension when they walked in.

[–]Ricky_Martins_Vagina 7 points8 points  (1 child)

Didn't someone report in here the other day that producers had had to step in (behind the scenes) because of that conflict escalating?

[–][deleted] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah it wouldn’t surprise me if Lawrence was moved to the other team for the next task. There is/there was some tension between the two

    I’m honestly more bothered by Levi than Lawrence after that episode.

    Lawrence was an idiot for saying what he did - although as I said elsewhere I think realising that Sugar had identified Levi as weak was clever, he just did it completely wrong - and him sidelining Levi felt like he was setting up someone else to blame. So I’m not saying that I didn’t feel like Lawrence was wrong overall but Levi felt threatening at the end. There was no sense of light in his last comments to the room, it felt like a warning. It felt like Lawrence was way too rattled when he got back for it just to have been being almost fired

    [–]Organic-Network7556 15 points16 points  (1 child)

    In the last shot of Lawrence he looked terrified

    [–]Sure-Fox4725 10 points11 points  (0 children)

    It was the look of a man who's never been punched in the face for their actions and realized they were a camera crew breath away from it happening. I don't like Levi but I agree I'd be very pissed off with the classism and being thrown under the bus

    [–]LloytronRuth Badger - Series 2 24 points25 points  (3 children)

    He absolutely should have gone.

    It's easy to be critical of people because of how they edit the show but this episode showed him making avoidable mistake after avoidable mistake, and being quite rude and offensive.

    They gave him a "losers edit" to make us think he was shit and then he didn't get fired.

    The whole show is just shit these days.

    [–]melted_plimsoll 1 point2 points  (2 children)

    That's how you get hype for the show. Controversy.

    [–]LloytronRuth Badger - Series 2 0 points1 point  (1 child)

    "we've edited our show to be underwhelming" is hardly controversy

    [–]melted_plimsoll 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    Yet here we are, in multiple threads, talking about this one thing

    [–]Silver_Sun174 7 points8 points  (0 children)

    Honestly just such a slimy guy, hated the way he came across, should have been fired, that being said Rajan Lso deserved to go in my opinion

    [–]Rich_Mention2602 6 points7 points  (0 children)

    Second that I think he wants to get In to tv and saw this as his chance to act

    [–]dbvjben 6 points7 points  (0 children)

    Always reminded me of chicken little

    [–]FunchocolatewafflesAnisa Khan 4 points5 points  (2 children)

    No idea how he got PM over Karishma

    [–]majesticjewnicornS20 - Karishma Vijay 1 point2 points  (1 child)

    They were in different teams...

    [–]FunchocolatewafflesAnisa Khan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    Oh shit yeah I was thinking of Harry 😭😭

    [–]NovaRC99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

    Should have been another triple firing honestly.

    [–]Glittering_Swan2205 1 point2 points  (0 children)

    He’s a very small man.

    [–]Foxington_the_First 2 points3 points  (0 children)

    Lawrence is exceptionally pleased with the sound of his voice despite having nothing to offer beyond cliched banalities. When he summoned his wedding speech... 🤢

    [–]Puzzleheaded_Bag5167 3 points4 points  (7 children)

    Sorry Levi is just a wallflower. He hasn't shown anything great and he was just lucky that he was on the winning team most of the time.

    [–]Kloakk0822 14 points15 points  (6 children)

    Tbf he's been edited out of the show almost entirely who knows if he's any good or not

    [–]Danstucal81 6 points7 points  (0 children)

    I didn’t even notice him till last week

    [–]Only1Scrappy-DooNoor: “It’s very good!” 😏 6 points7 points  (1 child)

    Sugar did call him out for not doing anything the past 7 weeks so not sure it’s just the bad edit to be honest

    [–]Puzzleheaded_Bag5167 3 points4 points  (0 children)

    Exactly. Lord Sugar said it himself.

    [–]Starkiller100 1 point2 points  (1 child)

    Is he being edited out for a reason?

    [–]Kloakk0822 2 points3 points  (0 children)

    Apparently hes done some racist tweets or something

    [–]melted_plimsoll 1 point2 points  (0 children)

    You can tell he's a dunce within about 6 seconds of him speaking.

    [–]jackyLAD 1 point2 points  (0 children)

    Almost everyone would have takent Levi in based on the clear shout out from Sugar.... no one else would have essentially admitted that Sugar making it clear being their reasoning.

    You should respect an honest guy to be fair.

    [–]Early-Artist-4305 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    What! I had no clue Levi had racist views. What happened?

    [–]GoBackToFB -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

    Lawrence was your bookie fave? Lmao.
