The Apprentice is BACK!

I said exactly that when it happened!

The Boys: "We'd like to offer you £500 for the lot"
The Hotel Guy: "Right I see. It's an alright price. Room for negotiation?"
The Boys: "Yes there is... what would you normally pay?"
The Hotel Guy: "£200"
The Boys: "We'll do it for that then"


WHaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat?! ROOM FOR NEGOTIATION!! Silly SILLY boys.

The team leader should have been the one to go, she treated them like little kids and really didn't seem to have any control over her team whatsoever, although the doris who was fired didn't really defend herself in the boardroom and I got the impression that she didn't expect to be dumped on in the way she was!

Spot on bubba! She was a nonce! If she had spoken to me like that in the situation they were in I would have just accepted what she said quietly - maybe put forward a couple of suggestions - but all in all I would have been quiet as I would have thought "she's bound to get fired... she's a tit". IRL though, she would have got a gob full back.

Raef... wasn't that bad yester actually! So that's good! The guy I don't think is any good what so ever is the one who did the camp dance after the board room (which made me LOL so much - I even got Picky to rewind the show to play it again!) He's useless and wimpy (the one to TWICE fail to negotiate well over the past two shows)

The ex soldier boy FTW!

Gotta agree with Feek and Pheebs here. And I can't be 100% but did the hotel guy say *about* £200? Could have easily gotten at least £20 more there I reckon and without the shirt costs only a £80 difference between the two.

Little miss "be quiet I'm talking" was terrible, but can't say I was impressed with Lucinder either, think she's the beret woman and both breaking down in week two is a little early. Gotta agree with the PM on that one too, if you've got 3 minutes left just grab the stuff and the line about folding them to avoid ironing when people have paid for it, fraud!

Loving this series so far just as much as the past


It makes me laugh how these kids think they are all project managers just becuase they manage a few people somewhere. They are not the same thing. That said, the lads team this week did a superb job by working as a team, knowing their products and prices.

Anyone seen the new Apprentice show on last night? Worst decisions. They are truly awful.

That had me in stiches!

The French cheese and burner were awesome!

Truly awful. Selling cheese to the French?

Nargis was the worst I thought.

Yeah. Was that Mr selling fish to sharks guy there? Or was he in the other half of the team?

*slaps head* That was awful.

Yep. Stupid girl. On this Worst Mistakes show one of the other girls said that Nargis had told them on no account to intervene, so on no account did they intervene. Cue Nargis next shot saying that no-one intervened to help her!

I meant was Michael there in the room or was he with the other lads going door to door. I think he at the hotel as it was Raef, Little Britain lookalike and Michael at the end quaffing coffee with the other lads slaving in the laundry.

How can a program that every person makes you cringe be so compulsive viewing

[jmc41]

Personally I could see Ian (think it's Ian, the TL) setting Kevin up about 10 minutes in having the meeting assigning roles. Getting ready to be a loser there?

Just after he got them all the pledge their allegiance to the task, hmmm.

[Chuckles]

Yeah Ian was almost as rubbish as the TL from last week. How she got through I have no idea.
