Just watching it now for the second time. Wasn't impressed with Ian either. I thought Eamon could have been nicer aswell.

I agree with the Ian Wright statement.. however I'm with Eamon - why the hell should be give up his time for this bunch of rich wannabes who didn't give a flying toss about the charity. For whatever the press say Eamon isn't daft!

Missed this - and I've been watching the series.

What transpired, exactly?

Basically Eamonn Holmes offered (for charity auction) a tour of the GMTV studio and had a moan about how taking the people out for breakfast would have to come out of his own pocket.

Diarmuid Gavin, on the other hand, gave them a motorbike worth about £4000 to auction.

and Ian Wright was just abnoxious, they wanted him to donate something to an auction, and he wouldn't - fair enough you might say, but it was *how* he was saying he wouldn't give this possession away. he truely aweful man who needs to be shit on from a great hight.

First off I would have said this.. but thinking about it, imagine you have a prized item that you love. Five people in suits turn up telling you all about this charity and they want your item. Except that aren't connected to the charity.. they are 'hired' by it.

I'd tell them to get stuffed.

I'm really into this show now. Only missed it once last week. Clever challenges. I'm looking forward to them getting a bit more adventurous though.

This week showed that management speak and big words get you nowhere. I'm quite glad that Ben got kicked out. Don't care for Miriam much either. Got a kinda snobby, smug quality that irritates me. I know Paul often gets annoyed and it may cost him his place, but I do like his down to earth approach.

I think Tim and Raj may have a chance of winning. Saira's a bit too brash and mouthy I think. James is just way too smarmy.

Not exactly sure who I'd pick.
If you were Sir Alan, who'd you employ?

I was surprised Alan Sugar was doing anything for charity and that bit when he left his car and there was a banner saying "Thank You Sir Alan" made me wana puke......
Alan Sugar always comes across as a bit of a billy-no-mates and a right nasty shit to boot.
I would love to sack the self obsessed shit myself. "Its worrying me Alan and for that reason, Your Fired"

Saying that im really into it now. Yesterdays challenge was excellent and the whole thing is clearly intelligent, but christ has Sara got a big gob

What did you guys think of AS' decision to sack Miriam? Frankly I'd have loved to see Paul go. Still that was one of the best episodes without doubt!
