The Apprentice

[editor]

Who had the first idea for the building...?
Who pointed out it was crap...?
Who pointed out he wasn't being a leader...?
Who came up with the dancing girls idea..?

Hint: It wasn't Simon...

But that's what bosses are good at: nicking other people's ideas and getting all the credit for it.

I don't get it - Sir Alan appeared to be pissing himself laughing at their piss poor 'presentation'. Then he gets the job??!


Like I said before...

He laughed at the dancing girls (quite rightly, there was no explanation that they were representing waves as the name hadn't been mentioned yet) but liked the presentation itself from what I could tell.

yeah i thought it was quite a good presentation. Much more varied and entertaining/interesting to watch than Christinas.

she is the finished product

Plus-plussity-plus.

It's called The Apprentice. Not Already Perfectly Capable and Will Be Hired 24 Hours After the Series Ends Anyways.

There was more potential with Simon, and that's why he won. In their current forms, he's not as capable but the idea was someone that the Sugar Daddy could mould into what he wants.

Just managed to catch the final episode at last...



I must say I was a bit shocked that Simon got it...but my early prediction way back on page 2 of this thread:

hmmm...I'm reckoning Simon.

Go me, headhunter extrordinaire!

Kristina was clearly a grafter and it's obvious what she's capable of, but also what she's not.

Simon's certainly a risk and has really fucked up a few times, but he's got these flashes of inspiration and enthusiasm you just didn't see from Kristina.

I thought after last year Sir Alan was going to go for the steady, reliable one (I'm sure Kristina would have stuck it out) but I'm pleased Simon won.

What the hell I'm going to watch on telly now?

Sure, but she was as corporate and as boring as fuck.

Her speech at the presentation was as dull as ditchwater whereas Simon apparently "had them eating out of his hand" for 20 minutes according to Sugar.

Given the choice, I'd rather work with Simon because his chaotic and slightly bonkers approach means you might at least get a laugh once in a while.

But I'd rather work with neither.

WHy don't you try and audition for it, Ed? You could enter some form of "celebrity" apprentice...all your business acumen and celeb status etc
