Bitchy Ryan-Mark lives to fight another week. Entirely useless, at least we’ll continue to get entertainment value.

I look nothing like him!
Rob Beckett survives yet another week. Ryan-Mark says he guarantees that he'll put himself forward for P.M. next week. Should be fun. He's probably hoping the task is to do with camping?

Task is putting on a corporate day on a steam train - fine dining etc
There is something eminently annoying about Ryan-Mark to say the least

Yes there is but although she was quiet this week that Lottie really pisses me off, a nasty, clueless individual who understands nothing about managing, motivation and working as a team.
Steam train task?
Cockney meathead should do well, he looks just like Casey Jones.

Lottie is a total head case, "I have the ear of Lord Sugar" she told others which was basically being mauled in the boardroom. How a librarian got on this is beyond me

It's all in the eyes, always a dead give away
She has mad, nasty, evil, bitchy eyes.

What really annoys me is that they tease a clip from the next week's show at the start of each week's opening titles - so you have an immediate spoiler. Lottie was shown on a train during the opening titles this week, which meant that she was avoiding the cannon again. It doesn't spoil which team wins the week, but it does tell you who is definitely not getting fired.
I have no idea how the clueless and fairly clearly stupid Marianne didn't get fired this week. She was awful without any redeeming qualities at all. Frankly, I was hoping for and expecting a hattrick of firings this week. None of those people deserved to survive.

Surprised nobody has commented on the stupid nature of this week's task. What is the point of the task if the winner isn't quantifiable beyond Sugar simply deciding one was better than the other? They even had experts who were pitched to in this one- why didn't they get to make the call?
Agree with most on here. I hope Lottie and/or Ryan-Mark both get binned off. Lottie is competent but a horrendous people person with no management skills - you can't run a business like that, and Ryan-Mark is a tiresome, devious no-mark who adds very little to any task he partakes in. You wouldn't even know he was there if he didn't stand out with his shouty, camp drivel.

There has been a lack of multiple firings so far, which suggests to me sooner or later there'll be an absolute blood-bath somewhere.

Great comedic value - almost up there with reading BG's posts.

There are a lot of abritrary tasks though, it's hardly unusual for Lord Al to make the decision based purely on theory. Like when they produce some product and get "orders worth £1million" - it's not true, it's theoretical orders for a product which doesn't exist. With the e-Bikes, Halfords could have placed an order of 10 million bikes at £1k per unit paid in full with Monopoly money if they'd wanted. No money changed hands, or would do.
The best tasks are the ones with tangible results, not the theoretical ones which may or not have actually borne any fruit.

No, she and Tommy the Pillahs will get through to the interview stage. Can’t really remember any of the others apart from Mark Ryan Ryan Mark Huffle Puffle who really should have been ‘Are You Being Served’.

Sounded like she had one stuck up her the way she talked!

Choosing a neutral colour, perhaps silvery-grey could have helped. Rather than perhaps calling the bike "Boundary", I thought "Bounder-E" would have been a good idea? Look out for me in the next series!
Rob Beckett hanging on by a thread. Minnie Mouse somehow smashed it!
said the same thing to my girlfriend about the E thing....I'll be joining you with this one for last nights show..
This is the start of your Finnish Adventure......

I'm still really enjoying Carina on a weekly basis, but her voice is quite annoying. 
I think she'll make the interviews.

It may be that Lonely Planet didn't want to be accused of being homophobic by binning the Helsinki Pride pitch in favour of the Backpackers Pitch?
Like Lord Sugar, I love the marketing task but for the next series I think the producers need to look at a more substantive way of deciding who wins and who loses.
This week I really thought it would be a double eviction - I even thought there was a possibility Lord Sugar might break with tradition and fire Dean, the Winning Team Captain, who was as clueless as anyone on the losing team. Dean will be eliminated the next time he is on the losing team without a shadow of a doubt.
Again though, there was a real lack of expertise, that spark of genius. Finland is known as Land of A Thousand Lakes, so great for boating and walking, also Helsinki Pride, so showcase both attractions in the advert then show the two separate tourist groups getting together in the evening clinking vodka shot glasses back at the hotel. Every box ticked.

I was thinking exactly the same actually - and there was a look of resignation on Dean's face. I actually thought he might do what the chap did a few years ago, and resign from the process. The other fella did it having won a task because of the absolute rubbish Karen and Lord Sugar were saying about him, despite having won. Dean looked like he knew he'd have been fired had the decision gone the other way, he didn't celebrate it when leaving the Boardroom either. It would have been good to see what was said after they'd walked away because it's obvious he was fuming about something, it would have been great TV to see the showdown that definitely happened.

I get the feeling you don't like her much. Me, on the other hand....[emoji7]
