Agree Katie is hatefully snobbish, and that Adam is being picked on for being Northern as much as anything.

It's difficult, that interrupting thing. Not sure if it is a male/female problem, but some people do want to leap in if soemone makes a questionable assertion about them, while others are happy for it to be said and then summarise afterwards why it is wrong. The problem is that, once somthning has been said and allowed to settle unchallenged, it has had time to permeate into the listener's consciousness. Christina is obviously the kind of person who listens and then offers a devastating critique afterwards - others are not.

Yes they did have a list of suppliers which from what I gathered was mainly rural farm shops and such like. Macro was only on it sralan said to get little incidental things such as cocktail sticks - not hulking big blocks of cheese. (it's a wonder the ferry didn't sink!)

paul is on five live atm. what an arsehole. that winy voice of his just gets to me.

UnquietDad · 03/05/2007 10:23

Seen next week's peviews on the website? Adam thinks Nigella seeds are the rubber granules they use on astroturf!!

what a fab show - they funniest one yet - I was almost curled up into a ball of embarrassment at trying to sell shrink-wrapped blocks of cheese in a French market

Agree with everyone who said Katie was being vile and Adam is unfairly 'the fall guy'

baffledbb · 03/05/2007 10:38

It was a great show.

In the boardroom Sr alns summing up of Captain Mainwaring and Pike was spot on (as i do think it was Adams worse performance). Don't know what that makes Katie though.

ChippyMinton · 03/05/2007 10:53

Katie has very inventive put-downs - i reckon she must've composed them all beforehand then trots them out as required. She is vile and nasty.

I would've taken gourmet hand-cooked crisps in outrageous flavours. The french only seem to have ready salted.

Paul reminds me very much of that bloke who shagged Princess Diana and then blabbed to the press about it.... the one that is ginger and always gets referred to as 'a cad'.

OOooh what's his name?

No... not Paul Burrell... he was the butler and didn't shag her...

I mean the ginger one, ex-army guy, rumoured to be Prince Harry's dad.

Anyway... Paul reminded me of James Hewitt... a weak, rather pathetic pretty boy type.

This series is definitely better than last years. The quality and diversity of contestants is much better.

Katie will reap what she sows. She is an unapologetic, patronising, malevolent snob and I look foward to her imminent departure.

DH and I were recounting our time at school and university because we both have had the misfortune to encounter people like her. They believe that because of their gilded accents, superior education and privileged upbringing that it gives them the right to look down on everybody else. What they don't realise is that qualities like respecting others, honesty, modesty, tenacity and diligence transcend class.

newgirl · 03/05/2007 13:02

fruit cakes and biscuits - they dont seem to have those much - or even a slection of things so it could be a taste of britain

weewilliewinkie · 03/05/2007 13:04

Katie has shown more and more of her true colours in the little conversations about other contestants. IMHO, she has no "class" whatsoever as is obvious from her treatment of people around her.

Class isn't the right accent and connections it's how you treat those around you whatever their situation in life.

Paul and Katie are well suited and would probably quite happy in their blinkered little way, looking down on others and slagging off everyone who got in their way.

I know Adam is being picked on but I just can't warm to him, he is a cold fish isn't he and he certainly doesn't show much all-round ability.

Paul and Katie are a little bit like Neil and Christine Hamilton - with perhaps slightly more talent.
