Dai Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 Suprised I didnt find this thread already. Always seems to create some good discussion. Â Thought the first episode was great. Only problem I have is that the editing makes it pretty obvious who is coming back to the boardroom. Once you knew the womens team lost, Im guessing everyone knew who was being brought back. Im just looking at the other women candidate's on the website, and apart from Jade (with the craziest voice Ive heard in a long time), I dont even remember the other ones really being there. Theres a blonde woman called Laura on the website, who I cant remember seeing at all. Â Apart from a couple of quality issues, and Steven being annoying, the Men's team seemed to have nailed this task, as they were featured far less than the other team. Â Not sure why they had to sell all of their stock in this task, either. I remember last year when Sugar made a big deal about it being OK to retain stock, and not just selling it for the sake of it. Yet this year, he seemed to have changed his tune. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajmcstyles Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 I quite enjoyed this, I have to watch this on iPlayer because I can't stand the boardroom banter I'd like them to focus more on the tasks, Charlie Brooker summed the boardroom up to a tee I cant just do with it, find out the results then find out whos fired saves me around 20 minutes of banter I don't want to hear. Surprised the girls lost nevermind. Â Quite enjoyed it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jewish Darren Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 Never watched a series of the Apprentice before, and really enjoyed it. Don't quite think that the prize of a 250K investment is that good, although you do get Lord Sugar as a partner, which is pretty good i guess. But whats the difference from this prize to heading into the Dragons Den for example? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Halitosis Romantic Posted March 22, 2012 Paid Members Share Posted March 22, 2012 Exposure, I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Up Chuck Posted March 22, 2012 Paid Members Share Posted March 22, 2012 Exposure for the opportunity for a media career if you fail, mainly. In fact, I wouldn't bet against that being the primary motive of a lot of the contestants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jewish Darren Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 I did like the fact that Lord Sugar acknowledged that he is interested in all of their business plans. I wonder if we get to hear about the losers plans when they get voted off? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Nexus Posted March 22, 2012 Paid Members Share Posted March 22, 2012 The girls' design was better, I think, but they fucked up completely with their pricing and then trying to go to the Zoo. It was a bit silly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poopants the Scrunge Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 All this chat about the Apprentice, and no one mentions Ricky Martin? Aka LDN (among others) worker Ricky Hype? AKA 'Witness The Fitness' Wipeout champion? Â I think that does tie in nicely with the above comment about exposure for a potential media career. If he wins, thats 2 BBC primetime programs he has won. Â Good luck to him I say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members Foale Posted March 23, 2012 Paid Members Share Posted March 23, 2012 The girl's sales technique at the zoo was atrocious. Why didn't they just split up when they arrived?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jewish Darren Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 The girl's sales technique at the zoo was atrocious. Why didn't they just split up when they arrived?? Â The Mrs and I thought the same thing. Only thing we can come up with was that they only had one credit card machine? Didn't make much sense!

The Curious Orange Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 Just having one crew with them is more likely. In the end they're there making a TV show first and foremost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jewish Darren Posted March 24, 2012 Share Posted March 24, 2012 You would be correct - although i will probably watch the whole series, just to see who wins! They have the US apprentice as well, and I have never watched a full episode. Caught bits and pieces, and think that Lord Sugar is far more entertaining than Donald Trump.

mickfan Posted March 24, 2012 Share Posted March 24, 2012 This years show seems like a bunch of idiots. Didn't show any candidate in a decent light this week. I thought the girls selling was better than the mens yet the girls won?! Shite editing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
