[The Partner - General Discussion]

I am with the rest of you, in that I am not impressed with anyone.  I do not think any of these people are the right fit to partner with Marcus in the capacity that he needs.

The first exercise should be simple for any manager.  "What do you bring to the table that makes you stand apart from the rest of the crowd".  I do not like Erin, but his poster most fit the brief.  There is something insincere about Erin, that I can not put my finger on, just yet.

The Blonde girl should have been out the moment she started crying.  Hell, Joan fired a secretary on Mad Men, because there is no crying in work.

The Harvard Law Candy mogul is not really emphasizing her good points.  Just saying Harvard a million times starts to come off a little pathetic.

Buffie has the drive, but she is not really in line with Marcus's business philosophy.  The fact she thought the 6000 calorie restaurant was a good idea really showed that.  I think she might get a job somewhere in Marcus's empire, but she is not the right person to be  "The Partner".

Perfect assessment!

They need to make a rule that you're allowed to mention that you went to law school only ONCE per episode and see how mute Peilin becomes. Juli's poster sucked ass - if that poster has been anyone else's, I doubt they would've gotten more than a dozen votes. Erin seems like he'd be annoying to spend significant time with, but I gotta admit I loved his poster. He nailed it. If he doesn't end up as a business partner, he should go into advertising - that, or he just lucked out and had the best helper at the marketing group. I'm glad Chuck is gone. I'm sure he's a nice guy, but hard to see him as a leader, ironic, given his self-proclaimed level of experience in leadership roles. I would like to see Buffie turn down the quirkiness and dial up some real business acumen. I'm not blown away by any of these candidates, but it's still early days. I had really high hopes for this show. I hope it improves. :/
