The Apprentice

He delegated the wrong things, in my opinion. I'd have gone to the tasting thing, and written down specific instructions about what to do about the design of the bottle. Wouldnt have made much of a difference, Stella would have been hired even if he'd won that task hands down.

too many chancers this year.

[Ed209]

the plan for next year's prize is much better. If you're really really good at business then a £100K job working for one of Lord Sugar's fairly dull companies is probably not that appealing, hence why they get a load of muppets in there.

A £250K investment and joint ownership of a new business would be a lot more appealing to them. I reckon the quality of candidate will be better, but then they'll still probably just pick a bunch of muppets

[beLIEveR]

I doubt he'll take a punt as he's putting in £250k next time, thinks it's more to do with most of the winners not lasting long in his company and too many chancers this year.

Love the Daily Mail, Stella is getting married so Daily Mail has decided that isn't interesting enough so they are running the story they are connected with organised crime based on Stella growing up on a council estate and the fiancee went to trial once and was found not guilty.

well what a complete roster of absolute f**king tools. the only one who wasnt completely up their own arse was the irish dude who made the soup.

and here we go, this is what the cream of british young entrepreneurial talent managed.

the girls made £592 in sales, from a £250 budget, so that's a £242 "profit", without taking into account the cost of the pots, the boxes, the hire of a kitchen, the hire of a catering van (and pitch costs) and the approximate £650 of labour (8 people for 13.5 hours at minimum wage).

[jump]

I've found them all annoying so far and normally there's a couple I spot in 1st episode that I think will do well. The most annoying moment was when one of them was leaving the boardroom and said "Sorry Lord Sugar", just an obvious suck up move.

It's becoming a comedy show now as I couldn't stop laughing through most of it.

[G-Stud]

I HATE Edna with a passion. She's such a smug bitch. I like Irish Jim though I quite like the scouser as well...

Looking forward to tonights, I think the boys are going to fail again though.

wow "Siralan" you really are spoiling yourself this year.

tonight looks f**king funny though, they have to design an iphone app, and the boys one looks to be offensive and stereotyping. brilliant.

I didn't see last night's, but it's always full of useless twats, and the "profit" would be bettered by most classrooms of schoolkids.

But hey, it's great free publicity for Sugar's companies so he doesn't care about paying £100k in wages for some useless arse.

[Ed209]

Soup man is my early pick to win. He's the only one who stood out as being able and not a complete bellend.

That means he'll get knocked out tonight now I've said that.

Why two nights in a row?

This year the prize is a 250K investment into a start-up, of which the winner will have a 50% share. Much better prize than the bullshit jobs he's handed out of late.

a 50% share of nothing when it fails, as it inevitably will.

[Greeny_Musicchild]

He's probably sick of people working for him for a year then buggering off elsewhere. Still, as Neil rightly says, 50% of nothing is nothing, it's a much bigger risk.

[jump]

I'm trying to find out what their company/ideas are, so far I can only find out about the sacked guy from last night and his Afghan food range.

[t8yman]

haha, no one noticed my mistake with the figures in my initial post.

/is ashamed!

[G-Stud]

Jim ftw!! Right choice to who got fired tonight.

[OneLittleFish]

Both those apps were shite.

[jump]

Girls were lucky, the boys sold the thing better but it was just shit app and I wished the suck up with the glasses went.

Isn't kissing ass how the apprentice works? it's a joke of a show.

[minute5072]

Where did this Natasha appear from? Don't think I've seen her say one word until now!

[jump]

What's wrong with these cowards, considering it's meant to be cut throat why are they so scared of taking Soup Man into the boardroom?

[t8yman]

I dont get everyones problem with Jim at all. His "every dog" was a throwaway comment that vince picked up on and ran with it. yeah he might have taken the credit quite keenly, but he was in no way responsible for the failure. for once, I completely agreed with the firing. she was anonymous every week, and he was a tosser, plain and simple. I think the Jim hate in the boardroom was a deliberate smokescreen to distract attention away from the fact that he is clearly going to win.

out of every single muppet in the show - he is the only one I would choose to be by my side in a crisis. and to vinces credit - he saw that too.
