New series of The Apprentice starting now on BBC2

[jodal]

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

I hate her. How annoying was she!? There didn't seem to be one shot of her where she wasnt dancing, shreiking and generally making a complete cock of her self. The one thing I will say though is that she was the only one who stood up for "good business practice" when all the girls where offering sexual favours in exchange for rotten fruit.

 

[Jayshat]

Yeah but she gave into it and squealed with tears when Alan saw through their dodgy practices.

Bleedin nightmare, apparently she cries like a baby tonight...again.


OUT!!!!

 

[zed66]

Just about to start.

Bottle of vino-check.

 

[DJ Squelch]

Excellent, mad woman has kicked off already. Hope she doesn't get fired coz she's great telly.

 

[trashpony]

Hope she doesn't get fired coz she's great telly.

<cynic> she won't </cynic>

 

[DJ Squelch]

She doesn't like kittens. She better not darken U75's door.

 

[trashpony]

She doesn't like kittens. She better not darken U75's door.

Well, she can fuck right off then.

Are the boys a bunch of useless tossers or is that just me?

 

[madamv]

what about the Alan's left-hand man, as such? i'd rather have a stern talking-to from him.

Me too. He has a twinkle in his eye for sure.

Sky+ the episode tonight and will watch tomorrow. Cant wait for knobhead to dig himself into another hole.

 

[spanglechick]

the boys only won cos that "calendar company" bloke had such low-rent tastes... rather like alan sugar...

"innovative, like dressing up babies" - purlease!

 

[Epico]

Are the boys a bunch of useless tossers or is that just me?

Yes. As are the girls.

They're all so highly strung this year too - 3 people crying in one episode. Whoever Sugar hires - they'll be a basketcase.

I'd bet more women then men would go out and buy either of the calendars.

 

[sparkling]

I thought the girl leading the pitch was awlful. Arrogant and rude to potential customers. 'Can you wait till I've finished before you ask questions?'....'I've finished now you can ask questions' She really made me laugh in a cringing way and I know she was nervous but surely after the first pitch why didn't she ask for help from her team?

 

[Philbc03]

Last night's episode was hilarious. It's just brilliant how Sayed cannot express himself without resorting to cringeworthy management-speak. Priceless

 

[Louloubelle]

Nargis is on BBC 1 breakfast news now

She was rude, very nervous but also I think very narcisssistic, she had no idea of how awful she was which was very worrying

It's one thing to come across as agressive due to extreme nervousness and then, on reflection to think "oh god did I say that?", but to fight your corner afterwards as though your presentation was good doesn't look very promising IMO

i couldn't watch her first pitch it was so cringe-worthy I could have done a better job!!!

and the boys calendar looked fucking awful

 

[editor]

100% car crash TV.
But soooo watchable!

 

[Fuzzy]

i watched it for the first time last night after having been very sceptical about it before as i didnt think i'd like alan sugar but he was actually ok. it was the other characters that were so utterly vile and unlikeable you kind of wanted them to be fired. the team leader for the women yesterday was fecking awful.

 

[Artie Fufkin]

Another cracker!

It was so tight between the two teams, I really had no idea who would lose - they were both so feckin awful.

the girls' pitch was toe-curling. the introduction about the cats was fabulous though

 

[Part 2]

I'm also hooked on this although I never saw last series.

Any early guesses at who might win?

 

[Belushi]

Those were two of the worst calendars ever! at least the one with the babies had some connection with Great Ormond Street.

 

[Artie Fufkin]

Bit too early to say but I do like Paul, who seems the most down-to-earth.

think Syed and Jo will stay in there for a while to keep the ratings up but I can't see Sugar giving them jobs.

 

[Juice Terry]

Cracks me up how they keep going on about how hard the tasks are and how much pressure they're under and all bursting into tears

What have they had to do so far? Sell a bit of fruit in the market and put twelve photos together, bunch of useless twunts.

 

[Fuzzy]

didnt it go something along the lines of "6 million people in england own cats and most of them live in london!" very funny.

 

[editor]

The uttterly baffled looks on the people they were presenting to were priceless when that pointless fact was wheeled out.

 

[pootle]

I loved the way she told all the girls that they weren't to butt in and she was going to present the calender all by herself, because she was the team leader, and she wanted to look professional

And then proceeded to not even be able the easiest questions such as "how much will the calender cost"

Ha! Ha! as Nelson would say!

 

[tarannau]

Where did they select all those contestants from? Fantastically awful and yet spectacularly incompetent/unthinking as well.

All those business 'brains' and the best they could come up with were those two calendars? The girls came up with a perfectly useless succession of cat photos in need of a purpose. The bloke's was predictably awful, looking like it had been put together by someone who had been on a Microsoft 'Templated design for cheeseheads' course. I suppose at least the concept held together and sadly, from all my time working with commercial photography, it's often the cheesiest images that sell well.

Awful people. Great watching.

 

[pennimania]

My daughter and I both thought there was something really dodgy about the babies! Perhaps that's just our nasty minds


Imagine living and working 24/7 with that Jo woman

She will definitely stay in for a good while longer but Alan will never give her a job.

 

[Juice Terry]

Imagine living and working 24/7 with that Jo woman

 

[beeboo]

oooh, this is so the best thing on TV! It's like a car crashing in to a train wreck, I love it!

I don't know if they just edited down the women's team's pitch to make it look absolutely excrutiating but that is possibly the worst presentation I ever seen.

Frankly the men's pitch wasn't much better. I nearly couldn't watch.

Nice to know I could do 10x better than they did.

Can't wait til next week!

 

[Bomber]

Nice to know I could do 10x better than they did.

Oooh ! Someone for series three !
