I don't think Carina is, she simply has weak competition. I wouldn't entirely rule Pamela out - she'll be louder now there's fewer people to hide behind, and no-one will be drowned out by bloody "BOSH!" every 3 seconds.
Scarlett seems the only credible candidate at this stage, but fuck knows how much that means until we know the business plan.
Despite his win, Dean is out if he's on the losing team next week. Lottie will likely be ravaged at interview, be fired with regret for being too young as if it was a newly-discovered fact, and invited to come back when she's older and has discovered human expressions.
I don't know why they even bothered casting poor Marianne, as if My Lord was ever going to go for a middle-aged American "risk consultant". The second anyone uttered the dreaded "corporate" word she was fooked.
Thomas would indeed be useless at war. Stealth be fucked; bouncing up to the enemy machine gun turrets inviting them for a pint and a chat geezer-to-geezer BOSH before being shredded to pieces. Probably useful in that he's the sort who would unquestioningly lay down and die for whatever dictator or egomaniacal millionaire told him to.
God I love this tired, repetitive, cynical piece of shite.
