The Apprentice 2012 Thread

Is she the Scottish one? I'd like to spend a night in a 4 star hotel with her over a bottle of buckfast. Then i'd treat her to a full scottish in the morning.

If a woman goes, it will be Katie. I have a feeling Sugar will mix up the groups this week, and it will be a man who gets fired to even things up.

You got me there though, Katie is about as useful as tits on a fish.

No, I think that's Laura.

According to the Radio Times one woman manages the boys and vice versa.

I don't think we've seen the best of Katie yet. She's quite likeable and has spoke a lot of sense here and there - more than a lot of them.

The most irritating ones are that Irish bitch and that gormless turd from Preston.

Well, I am certain that if two boys had been fired in the first two shows, Katie would have gone on this week's show. He didn't want to have sacked 3 girls and no boys. Betcha he sacks her next chance he gets.

I can't believe he didn't fire Katie, that's surely the only reason. She was far more culpable than Michael, who got fired, and if he wasn't going to fire Katie, surely he should have fired Ricky for not producing enough sauce.

On another note, again I find myself watching the programme and cringing all the way through it at how the candidates are with the public and other business people.

I couldn't believe Katie sat there with a bloody plain white label with the word 'Belissimo' printed on it with a picture of a red pepper and described it as "genius". Bellissimo was spelt incorrectly, the image didn't adequately represent what was in the sodding bottle, and it was unimaginative in the extreme.

I also couldn't believe they were trying to sell a bottle of table sauce to suppliers for £1.49 a small bottle. I cringed at that figure.

Have the lot of them never been in a supermarket and bought a bottle of ketchup or brown sauce? Do they not realise that a) that is around the retail price and b) retailers look to make 100% gross margin on a food product?

I've already mentioned I think, that I hate being sold to, but if one of those planks of wood came up to me on my lunch break and tried to sell me a jar of chutney I would go mental.

Seriously, there is no way these people are chosen for any reason than they are so thick and deluded it is good television. I bet the BBC pay Sugar the £250k he has to hand over to one of the plonkers at the end of the show, or he has a get-out clause of some kind.

The 250 grand does actually come from his own pocket - along the same lines as Dragons Den. It is basically a personal investment in which Lord Sugar will, hopefully, make a return which is actually larger than the 250 grand.

Alan Michael Sugar doesn't actually get paid by the BBC. He gets paid by RTL-Bertlesman (aka Fremantle Television - formerly known as Thames TV). BBC pays for the programme but individual wages and the premise for the show are all done by Fremantle.

Yes Katie should have been fired for all the reasons largehat mentioned plus selling her premium product for less than £1 a bottle at the end and making no sales to the upmarket shop on the first day. Plus she comes across as an apprentice Samantha Brick.

Frankly they should all be fired just to get it over with. Can anyone name one of them that you'd invest money in?
Bunch of arrogant little shits that know absolutely nothing about business or life for that matter so why are they even under consideration?
Answer: Because the telly viewing public likes game shows.

Another fantastic show, I didn't even finish my jumbo bag of Minstrels I was so engrossed in the programme.

Katie is crap, but to be fair to her she admitted her mistakes, and that Michael fella was a joke. A ten year old could have made a better attempt at selling, and he does look so out of his depth.

That Ricky bloke is an arrogant tosser, I hope Sugar cuts him down to size soon.

I quite like Katie, i reckon me and her would make a fantastic couple.

You fancied Laura yesterday.

I do still fancy Laura, but i have to keep my options open Nat.

It's Wednesday again, time for my favourite programme.

Who's going tonight? I hope it's Ricky Martin, but suspect it will be Katie or Laura.

I don't really get to know everyone's name until there's about 10 left. But I hope Katie goes, because she is bobbins and only survived last week on account of her gender.

My personal favourite is that black guy, he throws himself into everything.

Totally agree, he is class so far.

What a great episode, although that trout Laura was lucky not to get fired. I laughed out loud when she described herself as an attractive business woman, everyone knows she's dog rough under the two inches of make-up. And a clueless bint. You could tell she thought she'd won easily.

Laura was lucky but Sugar probably made the right decision. Jane was pretty obnoxious in previous episodes and didn't do much in this episode. Gabrielle was enthusiastic but had some really crap ideas.

The most amazing thing was the rich tossers buying so much rubbish at ludicrous prices. Some people really do have more money than sense.
