I don't buy the pics of celebs wearing Aquaswiss, I bet they had them on for the picture, got their cash then gave them away if they even had them in the first place. Ricky Gervais would do anything for cash I am sure
Is it me or does Esther sound like she has a gun pointed to her head off camera?
No it's not just you PJ, you could literally hear and see her shaking the poor woman!
Yes, that would be the band that Mike introduced her to!
Awww come on Mike, you'll be working on the bins soon enough... if you get to the job centre in time. 'Fess up that this is you. No one else can be as arrogant to think that we can't see through you.
I was genuinely quite shocked at Mikes comments to poor Kiri last night. I know he is a jack the lad and that is fine but I think he went too far last night.
You could be forgiven for thinking he does it deliberately, like a two finger salute.
If that is so it's a dangerous game, in my opinion.
In a way, this whole mess could be laid at the feet of executives and management. It's the same in any job, with slack ineffectual leadership sloppy practices creep in and, if remain unchecked, just snowball. If Mason had been given a slapped wrist at the start of his nonsense, it might not have got this far. Don't forget that when he was here before he was a lovely chap, enjoyable to watch, and genuinely entertaining. Yes, he's old enough to know better, but no doubt thought... 'what the hell? If I can get away with it, I'll do it all the time'. No excuse I know.
Basically speaking, Sit-up wanted people who were capable of being both a decent presenter AND a decent salesperson AND supposedly paid them a salary of circa £17k (?) which is very likely to be less than the person who fixes your laptop (if you have one) when it breaks. Don't forget that this is also a London-based salary which means that it's worth less compared to other parts of the UK; from memory I was paid something vaguely similar when I worked in London for a while about 10 years ago. (And I didn't get to missell tanzanite on national television either!)My Mum always said buy cheap and you pay dear. Possibly hiring low cost presenters that simply aren't upto the job could cost Sit-Up very dear indeed, and if that is the case it's the Management's fault.

So as a result they ended up with either decent presenters who were desperate for the work but perhaps didn't sell as well as expected (people like Greg Scott), or loud-mouthed market trader types/failed cruise ship entertainers or washed-up has-beens (you all know who you are). And the results speak for themselves :wink:
