The actress who pretends to be Surallen’s secretary (what? you knew that) told the candidates to meet him at Greenwich, early doors. (Oh how sad, the Cutty Sark in all its former glory). The task this week is all about importing, you see: the teams would have to interview foreign manufacturers and pick the best foreign goods to sell to trade. (And then, y’know, sell them…)
Tre (who hadn’t been on the losing team since week two’s pooch pouch farrago) was project manager of Eclipse and claimed that people were “sh*tting themselves” to be in competition with him. Katie volunteered to lead Stealth, knowing that if she lost yet another task she’s be a goner (she hadn’t won since week two, which was the last time she was team leader…)
Okay, I think some of the products the teams had to choose from were sent in as a joke. The iGallop pretend horse? What is South Africa ON?
Eclipse chose Sweden and their air purifier and microwaveable teddies while Stealth went for Canada’s moulded insoles and sunlight in a box. (Oh and a rug in a box, too – fair enough).
Jadine was feeling too down (homesick and missing her daughter) to do much and burst into tears. Then my TopUp TV box went ker-azy so I lost five to ten minutes of sound and the pictures whizzed by in a blur. Who needs drugs, eh?
Surallen’s also busy over at The Googly, Shiny’s cricket blog, every week!

The look on Kristina’s face when she had to admit that Katie had done a good job as project manager was priceless. Naomi (nod, smile, nod) had no such qualms (smile, nod, smile).
In fairness to Tre, I don’t think he would have brought up Jadine’s episode on his own – she said that she hadn’t been properly briefed about the products, and her missing that meeting seemed to be why. It seemed legitimate to me.
My money for the final would be on Tre vs. Katie, but I wouldn’t back either of those two to successfully get Kristina fired. Either she self-destructs or you may well be right.
Then again, Naomi (nod, smile, nod) seems very much to be in the same not-really-doing-much-but-never-screwing-up mould as Michelle from last year – I could almost see her flying in below the radar and scooping it (smile, nod, occasional-bit-of-cleavage, nod, smile).
It was surprisingly low key, didn’t you think? Nothing much to get upset about. But Katie’s flirting is horrendous. It’s an offensive tactic anyway, but the way she does it just makes me heave. Ugh.
I am starting to love Tre, though.
