I don't know, but everytime I see or hear this guy speak I want to punch him...

That's because he used to be a pimp!

Agree that Raef (the spoken word is his tool) has improved over the series from coming across as a ponce initially and is starting to look like a possible winner.

Ah, the old hairs on the palms of my hands were starting to tingle... that's why...

Really? I think he's starting to look like Noel Coward.

Lee - potential winner?

Don't think you can reach to punch him (He's over 6 ft).
Why, what's wrong with him? He's not a ponce, or a backstabber. He's straight as an arrow, someone you'd want on your side. And he can scare people. Ideal PM material.

All he does in the tasks is take up a position of the periphery and keep his head down. As for the spoken word being his tool, maybe he means in the spoken word he'd be called a tool. Captive audience not captivated audience!
He's a pretentious twat amongst obnoxious ones.

Repeated for emphasis; he's an agent.

Also on the pub food challenge a few weeks back he asked the other team members how label (of some other really simple word) was spelt.

Total anus.

HTH

Perhaps Puss, but I'd take pretentious over obnoxious any day of the week.

I wonder how much Surralan gets paid for this charade.

Surely, if he has any sense, he'd be think to himself "I wouldn't really want to hire ANY vainglorious twat that actually WANTS to be in this show".

He doesn't. His fee goes to Great Ormond St Hospital. Good man.

Well they don't last very long in some minor section of his company. Sugar has an apprentice in his son anyway.

This years bunch have to be the least likeable of all candidates, the ones we have loved to hate in the past did have some redeeming features, Trey, Badger, Syed,Paul, while obnoxious were also funny, intentionally or otherwise. This years lot have become more aware of the working of the machine, whenever that happens with reality TV the game is over.
