Title: The Apprentice
Post by: Nick Bamosomi on Tuesday, May 10, 2011, 19:05:42
A new series starts tonight - anyone going to watch?
I will be - because love them or loathe them there are bound to be some right idiots on there, only too ready to make fools of themselves all in the name of ambition.

Not sure how successful all of the previous winners have been - we never hear much about them.

New format this year too - the winner does not end up working for Lord Sugar (he will always be s'ralan to me) but gets money (a quarter of a mill) to start up their own business.
From what I've read the teams have to make as much money as they can from some fruit and veg in tonight's episode.

I'll watch it. Whoever the men's project manager is will get fired, they always do. The men spend the first week having a testosterone fuelled shouting contest whilst the girls get along, and then a few weeks later the men have all calmed down a bit and the women all hate eachother.

That's what I imagine every accountant in the country is like on the inside, and why they get hidden away, lost in a world of spreadsheets and debit accounts.

I'm kinf of serious though. Just in my brief experiences, it seems to be the type of thing that people just fall into because they have no fixed idea of what else they want to do before it's too late. And as such spend a lot of time trying to prove, to themselves more than anything, that they are more than just a number cruncher, because they don't feel a great emotional attachment to it (I'm not saying this is every accountant ever, just in my limited experience it seems to be the case more than in other professions.)

It's like when goalkeepers at sunday league / youth level spend every moment they can trying to go up front.

He was a total prick but it was good viewing...who you you rather watch each week, a loose cannon like that where you don't know waht you are going to get, or the boring Orlando Bloom lookalikey who spouts the normal shite in the boardroom, e.g. I know I can sell Lord Sugar, I have my own business Lord Sugar, I can make you loadsa money Lord Sugar....yeah yeah yeah what- fucking-ever....keep the loons in I say..

Oh and also, I know its the nature of these sorts of 'reality' programmes that go on beyond their sell by date, but they get more and more removed from reality...some of the patter they come out with now about how driven and successful they are is absurd...I dunno whether to laugh or cry.

As with every first episode the main aim is to identify the biggest arrogant tosser, it seems to be the Zlatan Ibrahimovic bloke to me at this early stage

Looks like a poor turnout on the girls side, only really saw one bit of blonde fluff to possibly perv over.

I love this show. I always watch You've Fired! over on BBC2 after because you get to see a different side to the loser. He was a strangely funny and very dry bloke. Shame he left. Zlatan seems like some sort of new Baggs and will no doubt add his own brand of cringeyness slimeyness.

Good solid start to this series.  Ed Hunter didnt really have a clue what he was doing and brought it all on himself although he came across quite well on BBC2 afterwards.  Personally I enjoyed last series' "who's doing the mincing".

I was a little bit sad with the lack of talent on the female side of things, certainly nothing like the beauty of Liz Locke this year. 

Also, perhaps the reason why N'Diaye was shite for us was due to the fact of the pressures of appearing on The Apprentice and having to calculate the price of a fruit salad.

Tom is the only one I'd hire, but I suspect that means he won't win. Pretty much every week he's told the PM what they have to do to win, and every week he gets ignored. No doubt he'll be fired for "Failing to put his points across strongly enough" or some such bollocks.

It's been pretty entertaining this year. Glad Edna finally went - the things they were saying about her were definitely true. Very willing to try and self-promote without really ever doing anything useful.

A couple of the girls are starting to get found out now. Zoe got a bit lucky this week. Although I disagree with what people have said about Susan. She is irritating and comes across as a bit whiney, but at the same time she does contribute a lot and when she's in charge she does a good job so fair play to her.

I disagree to an extent.

She is annoying, and the cosmetics task was poor,but in a number of the tasks she has pointed out obvious flaws which have turned out to be key points in the failure of the teams. Her problem is she's not forceful enough to make the others listen. Sugar has apparently identified some potential otherwise she'd have gone by now

The other two were more likely to be fired. I just hope they're keeping Jim in for the interviews.

Eh, I think he's one of the better ones. He actually generally knows how to win, just isn't shouty/angry enough to get it done over the others, if he was in charge, that wouldn't be a problem.

Natasha is properly useless, more bluster than anything.

Helen seems nailed on to win, certainly until tonight but I really can't see anyone else winning, he went off Jim too early.


Title: Re: The Apprentice
Post by: Bogus Dave on Wednesday, July 6, 2011, 21:13:25
Never says anything at the time though. Whether that's because he's timid or because he's a great user of hindsight. Sugar bums him because he's an 'inventor', though what he's supposed to have invented is anyones guess.

Jim or Helen in the final. Am I right in thinking there's 3 weeks left? Next week, the interviews and then the final?


Title: Re: The Apprentice

Sounds about right. I believe he invented a curved nailfile. Make of that what you will...

Plus, he's a MechEng alumnus from Bath, so you should totally be on his side.

He also seems to enjoy talking about himself in the third person, a trait Nemo finds intensely irrirating in anyone: http://www.tompellereau.com/tom-pellereau.php

Sounds about right. I believe he invented a curved nailfile. Make of that what you will...

Plus, he's a MechEng alumnus from Bath, so you should totally be on his side.

He also seems to enjoy talking about himself in the third person, a trait Nemo finds intensely irrirating in anyone: http://www.tompellereau.com/tom-pellereau.php

Edit: Actually, it turns out his sister wrote the website. I'm not sure if that make him any cooler, but I doubt it.

Haha, fucking hell. He's stretching that achievment a bit.

I know a couple of MechEng undergrads, and they are all insanely dull.

Genuine question, when women want to get stern in business do they purposely put less make up on to look more fierce? Noticed it today with Natasha and Helen. Is it a genuine tactic?

She also habitually adds a 'yeah' after everything she says just like Brent.

This was my favourite episode in a while, a task more akin to a business scenario and only one person out of the lot understood what it was really about (or listened).

£250k is not much stake money when it comes to setting up a business. I suspect Tom has a good product or business model that is ready to go whilst Sugar knows most of the others will spunk the money up the wall in quick time. Maybe that is why he has given him so many chances? Helen is good but it would seem to me that a £250k start up is too small time for her.

Relieved to see the back of Melody - did she EVER shut up?

If it had been the other team that lost, then Natasha would have been my choice, as others have said - how the hell has she made it this far?
And neither of the team leaders really knew what the task was about.
I'm surprised at Helen though - she didn't really have the right idea, going to retailers rather than the general public.

This is the sort of stuff Sugar and Nick (who was born in Swindon thus making him Swindon's least annoying celebrity) must discuss.

Mine would be
1. Melody
2. Melody again
3. Natasha
4. Susan
5. Back to Melody
6. Helen
7. Wouldn't even kiss Brady, I strongly dislike her too much (was taught to never say I hate someone I have never met)
8. Shake Jim's hand (and I mean his hand)
9. Ignore Tom

Yep pie and mash in a box is amazing. Pieminister or Pie Squared at Glasto.

The right person went....think she should of went about 6 weeks ago.

'Did anyone order a final four!'....fuck off Jim you crazy Irish fool.

On the clip for the final Lord Sugar points to his right at the winner. Might not mean anything but Jim is sat on that side on the clip of them entering the boardroom. Also all the clips they play show the interview people calling someone a bullshitter, which is to get everyone thinking that must be Jim, the producers always do try to throw you off who has won.

Probably means nothing though.

Final tonight, and as far as I can tell it seems to be the interview stage from previous years except with business plans instead of CVs.

Expect Helen to have a fairly dull idea very well planned, Tom to provide almost the exact opposite, Susan to bang on about how great she is at selling skin cream and Jim...well, fuck knows.

Maybe he'll propose the drilling of a massive borehole so he can actually attempt to sell fire to the devil? He's probably on first name terms with the fella anyway.

I think Susan will win, but I find her intensely irritating and not at as high calibre as you'd expect for a winner.

I'd love gift of the gab Jim to win. Unfortunately I think he'll get torn a new one at business plan interview stage.

So in summary. Jim falls short outside sales. Helen is too safe. Tom is too risky.  Susan wins by default.

I'm off to watch Top Gear. Rowan Atkinson SITRPC apparently. Unusual for him to do an interview if that's true, though there is a new Johnny English film out soon.

Didn't think she should have gone tonight. Then again the main rule of the first couple weeks is sit back and not draw attention to yourself, she failed with that.

I reckon the blonde was going to be fired but Sugar changed his mind at the very last second because that Bilyana just couldn't keep her gob shut. Lost one of the better looking girls already.

I think Gabriella could be quite good, but at the moment she seems to be trying too hard, and as such putting herself on the line needlessly.

I think it is a bit of both to be honest.  I can just imagine her with a dirty tash trying to explain why Vincent Kompany should be trying to hold a tight offside line.

Ricky is also a cross between Wayne Rooney and Andrew Strauss.

Can't wait to see it either, this guy is a wanker and his best skill is deflecting in the boardroom. I haven't seen him really on any tasks and all he does is moan!

Did anyone see when the PM (I forget his name) brought back him and the annoying Lancashire woman back? His facial reactions reminded me of David Brent as if he was totally shocked that he was coming back. He is crap, no idea how he has lasted so far!

Think he's won 6 out of his 9 tasks. Probably goes some way to explaining why he's not gone yet.

I'd like to be on his team next week though. Even if you lose you have a week's amnesty from being fired.

I thought Tom would win based on the tasks but I didn't understand his business at all so couldn't judge it.  Ricky's business plan was generally accepted as the best so not shocked he won.

That Jade was gone as soon as she first mentioned a call-centre.

Idea was certainly the most innovative of the lot but I couldn't really see it building into a multi-million pound business.
It looks as though he wasn't able to convince Sugar or his henchmen about that either - should probably have focused more on the market research and revenue generating plans than the technical details to win this.
