The Apprentice - 2009 - Page 5

i had a question on a previous episode. The one where they did the catering, they said that because the boys did badly in their roman gear, they lost, and the figures they had seemed just to be from that - it didn't include the absolutely roaring trade we saw them doing in London selling butties to queues of people at lunchtime compared to the girls who sold a few wraps for which they got loads of complaints about. :/

Why wasn't that included in the final calculation?

The guys did a roaring trade selling sandwiches? The only part I recall was the guy in a bathrobe (think it was James) selling nothing! I think as someone said previously they edit it very badly which confuses things too.

Didn't the girls get a few £££ more in the evening event? Food was rubbish but at least they looked reasonable. I might still have it on Freeview+ to check this evening actually.

the girls may have done, but I'm sure that when they read out the figures in the boardroom ONLY the figures were taken into account for the evening for the boys - at least that's how it came across. Yep the boys did fantastically selling their sandwiches (peanut butter and jelly, remember?) - at one point they had queues all down the embankment.

//Cynical

It's all skewed to make the game closer and more appetising for the people watching it, its a stupid competition which is wholly unrelated to the job they'd be undertaking anyway.

^^ not really bothered tbh, it's obviously skewed, hence why sugar indicates who the project manager should bring in with them in the conversation beforehand - but they can at least make sure the sums add up! I want answers damnit!

Haha i still watch it every week either way

I think that's the first time this series I thought he was going to do another "I'd like to fire the bleedin' three of you". He definitely should have!

Tonights was interesting, first I thought Debrabraa was going then I thought it was going to be Ben, then I though Noorul then I thought Ben again.

The reaction when Ben said James was amazing

WHAT !!! .. *oops*

Jingo · 29-04-2009, 22:37

I wish he had fired the three of them! (in reality he would have, but then his series would be two weeks shorter!

)

Lazy Muruug deserved to go - he basically did booger all and has relied upon louder mouths drawing attention away in the past.

As for The Viper and the Arrogant Gopher Twunt (tm) - I hope old kinder suprise gives them a serious whatfor next week
