New series of The Apprentice starting now on BBC2

[Bomber]

Fucking hilarious start to the new series. That curly haired woman that looks like Sally Gunnel is fucking hilarious! I can't imagine how she'd react if she actually won the show. She'd fucking explode!

It's pure quality television in my view. Well done BBC2!

She's a nutter ! The previews show Sugar calling someone a nutter it must be her !!

 

[pianistenvy]

I prefer the British version because it is more down at heels and it has Big Al Sugar...I'm not a fan of Trump. I find his wig is a distraction from the rest of the programme.

But don't you think Trump has the most impressive combover known to man? It's gravity-defying!

I'm surprised he hasn't got a family of birds living in it...it looks like a nest!

 

[Skim]

Loved it – I'm hooked again

Syed and Jo (Sally Gunnell) are my favourite hate figures. By the time she started blubbing in the boardroom I was shouting "pull yourself together, you stupid cow!"

I was very disappointed in the girly behaviour of most of the women's team ("hey, let's call ourselves Saffron!"), although the blokes weren't much better.

Next week can't come quickly enough...

 

[hatz]

Damn damn damn, I missed it last night... I watched it religiously last season (turning down offers to go out so that I could stay home and watch it, sad I know). But I don't get home til 10 on a wednesday. Does anyone know when it's repeated (on terrestial- I don't have freeview any more, boo hoo!!)? I need my fix.

I've been checking up on the BBC website- Syed does indeed look like a cock. Why do the women always come accross as being lame? Last year there were some real crack pots, and this year seems the same. Bring back Saira!!

 

[hatz]

OH MY GOD!! Look what I just found on the BBC website:

"After his stint on the small screen, Paul is hoping to transfer his talents to the silver screen. Fully equipped with his own manager and agent, he is grooming himself for a career in the movies. He sold his property portfolio for over £4m and is spending some of that cash on acting and elocution lessons."

Disturbing. And coming soon to a cinema near you.

yeh, me too.

i was pleasantly surprised to see Sugar telling them off for using their girlie wiles on those market traders. good for him!

 

[Skim]

I mean, when the women were running around the market holding a melon in each hand, it was looking pretty ridiculous. The men didn't resort to dangling bananas from their crotches, did they?

Paul becoming an actor... noooooooo!

 

[beesonthewhatnow]

First time I've seen the show and it was ace, I wanted to punch pretty much every person on the screen

 

[aurora green]

...another thing I love about the programme is the lascivious aerial camera shots of London

I agree, absolutely breathtaking shots of London. Makes me proud to be a Londoner.

And also agree with Penni and foo about Alan Sugar, there's definately something about him...

 

[Skim]

I just don't get the horn for Sugar... can't understand what you all see in him

Maybe it's the thought of getting a blunt-talking dressing-down from him at his plush Brentwood HQ.

"Ooh, I love your home computer range, Sir Alan."

"I don't like bullshitters. Bend over and shut it!"

I mean, is it the beard? The power? The rasping Hackney tones?

 

[Philbc03]

Keep your eye on Ruth. I think she's evil enough to do the business.

 

[Skim]

I liked Ruth, she wasn't as girly as the others and was more down-to-earth.

Think young Paul might be one of watch as well, although he's already confessed he's not great with numbers – last thing you want a managing director to say, really.

I think it might be 'cos I wish he was the dad I never had, or something equally a bit twisted...

ruth badger.... i love her for the name alone

bloke that led the blokes team - ben - got stiched up big style

A-team man was fucking hilarious
that stupid hysterical HR bint is/was a cretin.

 

[El Sueno]

If I was fired, I'd like to think I'd say something along the lines of; "Well I don't care, because my fee for this show would have gone... to Great Ormond Street. So fuck you. And can I have a Spurs season ticket? No wait, I got that the wrong way around - can I have a season ticket? No? Then fuck you."

My flatmate and I laughed imagining the continuity guy stating the show; "Fourteen cunts. One job." etc. They were mostly cunts, weren't they?

 

[Epico]

He seemed pleasent enought actually - but a bit dull - so I'm glad he went.

 

[hatz]

I really don't understand the Alan Sugar fetish some people have got going on.

 

[Hollis]

I don't either.. the adverts are enough to stop me ever wanting to watch this programme.

 

[nino_savatte]

What adverts? It's on BBC2 - innit?

 

[tommers]

only saw the last fifteen minutes.

absolutely fucking weird, and makes me so glad I don't work in that environment. horrible bunch of people.

I'm not sure whether I can watch the next one, it makes me too angry.

 

[E.J.]

Damnn and double drat!

The apprentice imvho is one of the very few programmes in the already saturated "reality TV" genre that i would like to watch! I mostly missed the first series, although Saira ,you'd got to love her for her spirit, fiestyness & take no-bullshit from anyone attitude. Not forgetting of course the series 1 winner Tim, they were the two people who i've liked.

Agreed with some of the others about Alan Sugar - i can't quite see the fetish of this fella. Although i do like those immortal words that he says to the wannabe money chasin, get rich chancers - "YOU'RE FIRED"!

Does anyone know if there's any repeats of series 2 of the apprentice?

If you didn't think they were a first class bunch of tosspots I would be seriously worried for you

The joy for me is watching the four faced, mealy mouthed backstabbing no-marks torture themselves.The contestant's total absence of self awareness makes it all the funnier. Watching somebody as utterly loathsome a creep as Sayed come to a bitter end on national TV is enough to keep me hooked.

 

[hatz]

Aha!! It's repeated on tuesday evening at 7pm. It clashes with Eastenders which might mean I'll have to fight my housemates for the tv, but well worth it I think.

I don't know whether it will live up to the high standard of last year though... that fight between Saira and Paul... absolute gold.

How do they choose the contestants? Surely these can't be the cream of the crop- I mean, surely Raj (from last season) was there for a joke- he was rubbish!! Maybe they send in video auditions, a la Big Brother?

I think a proportion of the contestants are there because they have genuine potential and are emotionally stable personality types, but I think it's fairly safe to guess some are in there for comedy value. Hyperactive PR woman, obviously an also ran , but highly entertaining in the meantime, Sayed, a classic pantomine villain, head rammed so far up his own arse that daylight is a distant memory.

 

[ddraig]

apparently you can watch the whole episode here

and they've also got the pitches/initial stages of the contestants

 

[Jayshat]

Tried to avoid watching the arrogant bunch of twats and got drawn in again...
series 2 here we go!

What a bunch of moronic arses...the women are a DISGRACE....have they heard of good business practice? It's not suggesting sexual favours through flirting, cleavage and "I've got a lovely pair of melons" selling strategies, stupid bitches, make me ashamed to be female...So they won...who's gonna respect em.

Roll on the boys to win!

ps: Who is the stupid redhead who gets squeaking...shoot her now!
