Compulsive viewing - The Apprentice

[D0m1n1c Burford]

They are all without exception odious cnuts.... but I suppose that is the point.

Stop sitting on the fence and say what you really mean 

[rogerzilla]

My favourite episode is always the one with the brutal interviews - tonight's.

A clip shows Claude (Alan Sugar's well-spoken but vicious mate) asking James if "I keep people on a tight leash when they're spunking money up the wall" is an appropriate comment to put on a CV 

[rogerzilla]

And...being a liar and an incompetent, as usual, doesn't bar you from the final 

I'm afraid I am a bit of a James when I'm at work, although "I bring ignorance to the table" isn't something I've ever put on a CV.

[toekneep]

How about, "you won't have to re-invent the wheel, maybe just fix a couple of spokes" from James. 

[Regulator]

I was sad to see Lorraine go...  I think Suralan has missed a trick with her.

The blonde bird will end up with the job.

Tim Campbell used to work in the same office building as me, with the Bright Idea Trust.  He didn't exactly look as though he'd done that well post-Apprentice.

As long as they have a table at the interview I don't feel I need to put this in my CV.

"I keep people on a tight leash when they're spunking money up the wall"

Perhaps James is ideally suited to the Parliament Fees Office.

I dunno about Lorraine. Rather than working toward to the agreed goal, she'll ponder about whether it was the right idea for half the show and then turn around saying 'YOU ARE DOING IT WRONG!!', when it is really to late to go back.

Kate is most likely to win it (on paper at least), but they still have to well in their final task.

To be fair to Lorraine, she hasn't been "...ponder[ing] about whether it was the right idea for half the show and then turn around saying 'YOU ARE DOING IT WRONG!!'..."  Each time she has voiced concerns she has done so fairly early in the process (e.g. during the 'Pants Man' fiasco) and been ignored.

I think there was a quite ageist attitude being displayed by many of the other contestants - particularly Ben and Philip.  Lorraine was sidelined in the tasks and when this happened the team lost.

[rogerzilla]

I think we can guess who wins now...

You don't slag off the show if you win.

[Jaded]

You didn't guess right did you!

Mind you - what had she done with her chest? You could detect incoming ballistic missiles with those. 

[GruB]

Once again the secrecy surrounding the show prevails.  This show is tighter than the government. 
So perhaps that press release on Wednesday was a clever ploy to make you think Kate had won?

[rogerzilla]

I should have remembered that Siralan unerringly picks the wrong candidate from the final two, and that the final task is always meaningless and not designed to produce any clear winner.

[Spinners]

I enjoyed last nights final very much and thought the right girl won but, on Adrian Chiles' show, didn't Kate look a bit like Nicole Cook?!!

I have to agree.  The right candidate won this time.

As soon as Kate picked Ben for her team you knew she was going to lose.

And I loved it when Yasmina slapped Philip down.  He almost burst into tears as she described his idea as shit 

[LEE]

I haven't seen much of the show but I had to laugh last night.

Who is the chubby "Mr Executive"?

He was wearing a Pin-stripe "Executive" suit
He was wearing a Blue (with white collar) "Executive" shirt
He was wearing "Executive" Braces

When relaxing he wore a Tweed "Executive" casual hunting Blazer.

What a twat.  He was only about 25 and dressed like a 70 year old  1930's Banker (not a mis-print).

Do they seriously think it's just about wearing a suit

And, as for the geordie lad teaching the dancers how to dance... I think it's time he came out

He wears those hideous coloured shirts with white collar and cuffs that only Board members can usually carry off - because no-one dares tell them how stupid they look.

[Jaded]

I cannot believe no one else has commented on the Zeppelin race.

[Tom M]

You refer to Yasmina's lady bumps?

I was far too polite to mention them... 

[Mike J]

I knew it was going to be Ben, why he thinks they look good I don't know.

'Cos he's a fuckwit?

When I went shopping yesterday, I needed some bread rolls.  I shall never think of Mr Sainsbury's Giant Baps in the same way again.
