Beauty and the Beast


13 candidates remaining, one beauty treatment task, one ugly disaster!

Yet again another classic challenge from the Master Sir Alan resulted in chaos and some classic one -liners.

I must say I thought Zoe as team leader for Venture did well by challenging Susie the horn-blowing beauty guru who was unable to deliver the quantity of sales she boasted about in a very blasé manner. I think Karen summed it up very well, ‘If you set yourself up as something your not, you’re going to fall’, and that she did – but not before she made herself look even worse by stating ‘people round here are poor’.

I cannot on the other hand praise Felicity, team leader of Logic. She failed to secure the treatment she wanted, over spent on Lady Gaga esque hairpieces and failed to realise that her treatment wasn’t selling and then blamed it on Ellie. Good decision Sir Alan to fire Felicity, again Karen made a very good point, if you ever went into business with her you would have to run it yourself before she decided anything by herself your business would have gone bust.

Considering this was a beauty task I did think the men handled themselves well. Some of them had a slow start, Leon in particular but by the end he was literally pulling them in by his little pinky !! A far cry from his first comment to a girl; ‘We can get you naked and spray you’ – probably not the smartest thing to say to try and convince a girl to have a spray tan.

Then we had Tom who struggled with nail varnish selling, ‘I can’t talk you through what they are, I can just tell you they are pretty’, in all honesty there is not much to say about nail varnish itself you just need to convince the girl she needs another colour or even a new non-gloopy nail varnish.

Next weeks task looks to be another classic – Dog food! I don’t think that needs any more explanation.

Final thought of the day came from Natasha – ‘Save the popularity contest this is about business’ – I hope she hasn’t just realised this!



Bye Bye Felicity!
