The Apprentice Thread (SPOILERS)

by NickisBHAFC Wed 8 May - 16:14

First topic message reminder :

That girl last night shouldn't of been fired.

by Guest Thu 23 May - 19:31

Are you guys living in slow motion? You appear to be so far behind everyone else. Didn't you know, Lord Sugar had a hissy fit, punched Karen in the face (good work fella I can't stand the smary ****) bared his bum to Nick and spread his cheeks screaming "Countdown? Countdown, you c***? I'll give you thirty ****** seconds to work THIS out with a ****** pencil you craggy faced ******" before ripping his shirt off and offering out the cast of Dragon's Den.

Or did I dream that bit?

I think you got your fantasy mixed up with real life Dave Wink

I'm amazed "no offence but you're a doctor" (said in the most condescending tone ever) hasn't made its way into the board room, but any defense is better than "I'm the shortest" as one guy has said in a pervious series.

I felt sorry for Zee this week - Leah had a slapped face throughout and was constantly undermiming him from the out set.

as for the task itself, I am sure that if I was given a list of items and 8 hours to find them in a strange city, I could do it by myself.

Alex still is the main reason to watch this!

"you havent got a bloody clue sunshine!"

by Guest Thu 30 May - 9:10

I particularly liked the "12cm in a foot", and no-one even bothered to think about it Laugh

by Scott is Back Thu 30 May - 9:26

I didnt feel sorry for Zee at all, comes across as a total spanner!
Alex is a genius, some of his lines are awesome.

As for Jason.....got to be the winner. In many ways he reminds me of previous winner Tom, who won by not doing much wrong, but not really doing a lot right either.

by Adam D Thu 30 May - 9:27

Jason reminds me of Michael McIntyre

by GSC Thu 30 May - 9:38

Leah was pushy but Zee was just useless

Guy hasn't had a clue throughout

by Scott is Back Thu 30 May - 9:53

Has anyone picked out a potential winner yet?

As much as i would like Jason or Alex to win, the most grounded seems to be Miles at the moment for me.

by Bull Thu 30 May - 10:03

was great when Lord Sugar said "so myles or as kurt will call you kilometers"

but yeah i think Myles will win, tbf he has not been that bad so would be happy with him taking it.

i say Jason/alex/myles will most likely be in the top 3 and possibly Jordan

by GSC Thu 30 May - 10:07

Miles also offered to buy batteries to make a sale in week 1.

They all seem pretty useless tbh.

by Guest Thu 30 May - 10:09

No-one thinks a woman can win this year?

It all depends on what their business proposals are - Sugar wants to make money, so whoever has the best proposal will win, regardless of their performance on the show.

by Bull Thu 30 May - 10:29

Why is everyone spelling it 'Miles' its Myles lol

but anyway its because the girls have been useless as of this minute and hardly any look like serious candidates.

I could easily see Leah winning tbh. Or the other blonde one who just smiles evilly the whole time. Nobody really stands out.

by Scott is Back Thu 30 May - 10:34

Yea i would give it Leah....but thats a different story!

by Mike Selig Thu 30 May - 10:45

Myles seems reasonably competent, but he also pitched a £75 chair/table at 16 year olds... and then waited an hour and a half while they made a flag.

I think Jordan seems reasonably competent, but his outburst in the boardroom probably means he won't get to the end.

Of the girls, the blonde one who isn't Leah seems reasonable. Maybe also Rebecca but she rubs everyone up the wrong way. The others have so far been entirely useless.

I predicted Zee getting fired 5 minutes into the episode when someone said "Zee used to live in Dubai right?"...

by Bull Thu 30 May - 11:06

yeah agree that Leah and Francesca could win it out of the girls even though Fran did get the numbers wrong during the beer task.

Same here about Zee said it if he loses he will be fired, after saying he knows it like the back of his hand.

by **Kenny** Thu 30 May - 11:13

i loved the fact there was no false hugging at the end this week , the girls just got their suitcases and left Zee sitting there Laugh

by kingjohn7 Thu 30 May - 11:58

"i dont need that, Im from Wales" Laugh

Nobody has actually stood out as being a great candidate so far this year, but I can understand why people would say that it will be one of the men who win. As you say though all about the business proposal's now but we don't get to hear what they are in any sort of detail so it's tough to add that into the equation and based upon how they've done so far I would say it's only Natalie who is completely out of the running.

Feel sorry for Zee that they attacked him personally and basically said he was sexist rather than actually point out how it was his fault that the team failed, but apart from that I did feel his time was coming to an end he can big himself up but he hasn't really shown anything so far in the process.

by Duty281 Thu 30 May - 15:03

Agree with most of what has been posted on here. No one is standing out, his Lordship may just have to pick the least bad.

by Guest Fri 31 May - 9:52

Those two girls ganged up on Zee and it was embarrassing to watch. Natalie has done nothing the entire series, apart from cry, and that blonde cow is nasty as anything, all she does is moan, connive, scheme, be contrary, and actually, is useless.

There's one bird in it - the older, unattractive one - who I just haven't seen this series. I don't even know her name.

Zee, is that you? Shocked

by Guest Fri 31 May - 10:30

This is the worst batch of candidates ever to appear on The Apprentice, I have to say. I'd have mopped the floor with this bunch. I absolutely have to get in next year, I don't care what the wife says.

by **Kenny** Fri 31 May - 18:34

I don't think a one of the women can win this year , they all seem poor at putting themselves forward enough in the tasks they are quite content to sit back and allow others to take the risks .

by Guest Sat 1 Jun - 12:39

Apart from Luisa, but its not just her mouth she's putting forward...

by GSC Sat 1 Jun - 12:54

Leahs the only girl I can see really having a shot.

by NickisBHAFC Sat 1 Jun - 13:59

Naaa all the girls are appalling its the worst standard this year female wise.

Usually its easy to pick a clear cut winner but this year is proving very difficult. Alex the Wales guy with the weird eyebrows is my pick though.

by **Kenny** Sat 1 Jun - 15:59

i'd agree Alex is my choice at the moment to win it

by NickisBHAFC Tue 4 Jun - 16:13

The only thing good about the feamale's being on the show, is every year they get hotter, which is all you want in the female contestants!

by Guest Tue 4 Jun - 16:14

Nick you have terrible taste in women, there's not a woman on the show this year I'd touch with a 50ft bargepole vomit

by NickisBHAFC Tue 4 Jun - 16:16

Really? There is a few sorts on there tbf mate! I know a lot of people agree with me!

by **Kenny** Tue 4 Jun - 16:16

they would have to be gagged and hooded before i went anywhere near any of them

by **Enforcer** Wed 5 Jun - 13:11

Luisa is the nicest imo, but I couldn't listen to her voice! Not that I'd want to...

Any predictions for who is getting the boot tonight?

by Guest Wed 5 Jun - 13:13

Jason. The guy is a bonehead.

by Adam D Wed 5 Jun - 13:15

At this early stage they keep the mentalists and the one who wins.

So hopefully, Alex will stay (mentalist and potential winner in my book), Luisa, Leah, Clough, Brandon (the short one with glasses) and the one who looks like Michael McIntyre.

All the rest are at risk.

Honestly? Only good-looking one for me is Luisa, and she looks a bit cheap in all honesty.

by Guest Wed 5 Jun - 14:17

Well I've seen enough of her topless in the papers these last few weeks to put me off her for life Laugh

by GSC Wed 5 Jun - 14:18

Leah would get it

by Guest Wed 5 Jun - 14:21

Ugh, she'd get it alright. In the neck, with my samurai sword, before I ever put my hands on such a rancid, nasty woman as her.

by **Enforcer** Wed 5 Jun - 14:30

And she's only a doctor.

by **Kenny** Wed 5 Jun - 18:48

Hope either Luisa or Leah go tonight

by GSC Wed 5 Jun - 22:02

So Rebecca goes. Found it odd that Francesca was warned not to bring people back in for personal reasons, did so anyway, and survived.

by Bull Wed 5 Jun - 22:13

Was very impressed with Neil tbh

by GSC Wed 5 Jun - 22:49

I thought both teams were awful. The losers completely missed the point of the task, and the winners pulled some crap out of the fire in spite of themselves.

Francesca was very lucky to survive tbh.

Luizas defense was terrible. I would've just said 'None of your points have anything to do with the failure of the task. Its obviously personal'. Instead she brings fire on herself.

by **Kenny** Wed 5 Jun - 23:18

Yes they were both bad this week , you would think that they would at least of had some sort of idea ( apart from Neil ) about what needed to be involved in a day like that .

And that blood laughing /smirking Jason is really getting on my nerves . Is it so hard to maintain a professional attitude in the boardroom !

by GSC Wed 5 Jun - 23:19

I had Jason being fired tbh. I'd have brought him back in instead of Luiza and just said he did nothing

by **Kenny** Wed 5 Jun - 23:22

Yes think Francesca missed a trick there not bringing him back into the boardroom
