Re: The Apprentice
USed to like this show and still do sometimes but they have turned it into a bit of a freak show. Think they just keep all the annoying people in for as long as possible for entertainment. Its not really about getting the job anymore. They all want media careers. Has any apprentice ever worked out for him?

Re: The Apprentice
Last nights decision was definately down to rating....Jenny should have gone without a doubt, she made so may errors it was incredible (£4.99 to launder a pillowcase & asking for tips where probably the worst). It amazes me that such supposed "educated" & "experienced" people can miss so many basic fundamental business points.

Re: The Apprentice
I'd have to agree with this. I loved the first season but it does seem to be getting less and less about the job and more about the spectacle. I've heard Alan Sugar talk in the past about how he has the ultimate say in who stays and who goes and that the "TV people" have no input... I wonder is that still the case though...

Re: The Apprentice
From what we saw of her, I'd be swearing at her within a week if she was my boss, talking to HR in the second week, and one of us would have left by the end of the month.
The minute Shazia left the laundry, my reaction was "What is Jenny thinking of? She's letting the person who knows the system leave". It was a huge blunder on Jenny's part. ****-poor PM to make that decision, and I'd have binned her for it.

Re: The Apprentice
I love this programme but have felt from one or two decisions that Sugar has made that it was more about the TV than the job. I was astounded last night when he fired Shazia. Jenny was a total bully and I cannot believe that her attack on the blonde girl went unremarked on. I watched the programme on BBC2 immediately afterwards and was pleased to see Shazia somewhat vindicated by the total support from the panel and the audience.
I will be tuning in again next Weds - dodgy decisions or not!

Re: The Apprentice
"I wonder at what stage the Irish girl is gonna step up and be counted or is she being calculated and staying in the background until she has to."
hmmm .... calling herself the best salesperson in Europe was not a very wise move! She hasn't started very well judging from her performance last night. Quite a few of them are staying in the background ... probably wise at the beginning.

Re: The Apprentice
Saw this last night and was actaully laughing at loud at the pricing, the 24 phoneline and the ton of laundry for a tenner and thinking they asked for too much.
When Sir Alan mentioned them in the boardroom I had tears coming out of my eyes - so it got 10 out of 10 from me last night.
I agree Jenny should have gone, actually she was a bit embarresing for women in general but I can say I've met people like that.
She's great TV though just like Kate last year and that was why she was kept, no other reason imo. Almost £5,000 for a night laundry which is over €6,500!!! I think I watch the rerun for another laugh.
Rajef is excellent as well - in an entertaining way but as the Robinson man said he brought the team with him - think he will win myself.
Somone asked earlier if any of them worked out and I'm almost sure Tim did and left after 2 years. He was the winner of the first show and as you know this show was probably the most realistic.
However, its must see tv for me again..

As Adrian Chiles asked, why did the Irish wan only describe herself as the best sales person in Europe - why not the world? A lack of self belief, perhaps?
Was trying to sell cheap supermarket cheese to the French on it?

As was teh hundred chickens for pizza toppings.
I can't help but think that going on that show would do NOTHING for your career..How do they find these people?...They all have made me cringe in this series so far......Last week was classic...Clearly the PM should have gone (after the fish selling escapade) but the other two, instead of keeping their mouths shut...waffled on and on until one of them talked himself into being fired....Classic...
