* ChronicBackstabbingDisorder: Displayed this in the fourth task and the interview round. In the former example, he ducked out of the role of sub-team leader, accusing then-project manager Simon of "diluting his position". Subsequently after Claire was appointed sub-team leader as a result, Alex ganged up on her along with Simon. In the latter example, after Lucinda started expressing doubts about whether she really wanted the job, Alex relayed these doubts in the boardroom, irrevocably sabotaging Lucinda's chances of remaining in the competition. Many Internet forums branded him [[InSeriesNickname "Weasel Wotherspoon"]] as a result of this.
