    I reckon fc is right - it's more that she wanted to be on the telly, than she wanted to be a developer. She wants to be a presenter like Beeney. It all sounds a bit Single White Female now I think about it. Also, skinny enough to be a model, but not great skin for modelling.


    Nowhere near it to be a model...even her 'tasteful' glamour shots were a bit in the 'Readers Wives' league.

    And I know a lot more about models than I do about quantitive easing ...bit of an expert.;);)

    All that and above posts read and agreed with,its a bit beside the point, surely. The girl was there for her proerty skills, or lack thereof. I feel quite able to feel derisive about those without looking further. rankly I'm impressed, all said and done, that the girl has such self belief.

    But it seems that she really wanted to be telly famous and MAW.

    A serious ''Developer/start up '' person (whatever age or gender) wouldn't have her name available on dodgy model sites with pics online for all and sundry to view post show?

    Would have been sensible to have removed her model promo profiles prior to show airing and just left the 'Find a property'' website promo up.

    She seemed well spoken and confident but sometimes that's not enough?

    I would advise her to do Apprentice next year.;)

    sort of my point ;) nough said. I had an email from a lovely young new graduate yesterday, ;)and I felt purely from his email he had a lot going for him and hope he has such strong self belief. It seems to me sometimes the ne's who think they are great aren't and vice versa :) the combination of the gifts and skills needed with confidence is pretty rare, but exciting when it happens!

    I have no confidence. It was beaten out of me at an early age ... and ever since.

    A study was done recently that said people will follow the one with the biggest gob, even though that person is most likely the least able.

    I sat and quietly nodded when I read that.

    I believe you got the e-mail cos the other one zapped back.........sorry about that.
    I don't think there are any bod shots online anywhere...funnily, they (him and mateys) were all very aware of keeping their Facebook pages reasonably clean over the past 3 years.

    I think I had bags of confidence @ 22 odd then it gradually got beaten out of me bit by bit. Is that normal?


    Just to say an agency have been promising the Earth...makes me mad...guess what is on offer? Foxtons sales?

    Actually, the girl on the show could go back to EA sales...presentable, nice manners bla bla.

    Just to add..OH just read over my shoulder..he would like to say that SBeeny was by far the most attractive female on the show by a long stretch.

    There are two annoying things in here:
    1] When you discover your posting appears at the top of a new page.
    2] When some bugg4h quotes your posting so you can't edit/delete it.
