The Apprentice (oirish version)

Yer wan Joanne reminds me of someone I used to work with

A walking ego who would hang anyone to get on. Great sense of schadenfreud watching her last night. She still maintained she did nothing wrong, which will either endear her to BC or show her up for the egotistical person she appears to be.

Brenda was excellent under pressure from the panels.

I too thought it was ironic that they were advertising a loan product for a sub-prime lender...for the Sony Centre and a high-end(?) jewellers.

Far too much childish fighting in the boardroom too imo.

You think? I thought that if you scraped all the make up and false tan off blondie she'd be very rough. I thought the one that got fired was prettier.

Joanne looks about 40, and not a very well kept 40 either.
 
Was wondering what the Dublin slang Bill was using when he said you don't have the Lee Rody for it. I nearly keeled over when other half informed me it was liathroidi (balls)

Is this a beauty contest?

No, but equally none of the 'candidates' are there on actual MERIT - contrary to what the program makers say, they are not '14 of the business world's most promising candidates'. They are 14 publicity hungry wannabes.
 
I'm enjoying the show, but god is it embarrassing. Where do they find these people?!
 
did anyone notice Bill Cullen getting out of a car at the start of the show last night and standing at it? it was a bently!! what does taht say about a man that sells Renault and he wont even drive it.

How did he expect the would be apprentices to know what he was talking about?

I thought it had something to do with the task and was possibly something to do with the marketing script they had made up and was really surprised when Joanne (Joanna?) seemed to understand what he was talking about. TBH I thought nobody else knew what he was on about but Joanna was humouring him by repeating back his own words

He made his entrance in a Mercedes in the first episode. In fairness I wouldn't be seen in a renault if I had €100+ million, no matter what my relationship to the company.

Yeah, me too.

Despite apparent discrepancies between their birth-certs and the make-up and clothes they use on the show, the three wans in the board-room sounded like pre-teens in a sleep-over squabble.

The show is like the curate's egg, good in parts. I was disappointed last night that more time wasn't given over to the "pitch" to the retailers. I wonder what's the connection with the travel agency (not one of the target retailers on the show) that got several mentions last night?
 
The connection presumably is an advertising contract involving money...there was an article in a newspaper a few weeks back detailing the amounts paid by certain retailers to get on the show.
 
What really interests me is why none of the tasks to date have been in Renault, Bill companys, their eventual employer.
 
Jaysus - like - that joanna - does she have the un-likeability factor in spades or what ?
 
Well, we won't have to put up with her any more! Jeez though, I couldn't believe what she was saying in the car on the way out. I thought she was a sneak when she said last week that she "sold" three cars, when she only closed two sales. She wouldn't work for me - I'd prefer honesty in people and she'd tell you anything to make herself look good. Delighted she got busted.

Brenda to win!

Sprite
 
What an outcome

I really disliked Joanna in previous episodes but tonight in the boardroom she accepted responsibility which I admired. Mind you that was before her final act of deviousness was exposed.

I can only step back in awe of her 'chat' to the cameras in the car. Thought she handled it very well i.e. given her very limited options and I think she will be the one we'll see on our screens in the future.
