The Apprentice

[Nomoreheroes]

I know a secret !!  

Since I'm briefly back in the UK I saw it for the first time tonight. Thought it was hilarious and much better than the US version. Maybe cos I can relate to the characters more and maybe cos of knowing Paul. Incidentally, just in case anyone is interested, what I saw on there tonight was the true Paul. Can't believe that he has let himself go though as he was a brilliant wicket keeper and very good batsman at club cricket level a few years ago. He was touted at one time to be Yorkshire's next great hope and a contenter for the England job. Maybe he'll be the next Apprentice instead...We'll see !

Anyone find any bookies we can bet on the result?    

American version apparently took a big sting on the leaked winner.

Anyone catch it last night?

Christ that Paul came across as a complete fool, the answer of Big Issue sellers as to what annoys him most was fist bightingly cringe worthy.

Probably the best pair went through in the end, literally.  That said they really don't have much about them do they?

Ruth testicles aside, if she had a trumpet I'm sure she'd have a rib removed so she could blow it 24hrs a day.  When it comes down to it though she's largely just a fat gob.

The other balding blonde one I discovered used to be a trainee junior manager at Kingston when I worked there one summer.   I don't remember her in the slightest, which sums her up on the program.  By the way, my source by way of an ex-colleague has divulged she's not on anything close to 100k however if you're into your slang 'offshoring' is reportedly not far off the truth when it comes to what she actually does at work.

I disagree completely Daz, I think the 2 blokes should have gone through.

The fitties only still there because Sugar likes her history... could just as well put Ansell through for being a nice guy by that argument.

And yes Paul's a complete cunt but he's always been by far the most successful candidate.

[Dazzza]

Ansell was a smasher and probably the only one it from the off (except Sayeed for comedy value) that I wanted to see win it.

Paul though buried himself in those interviews last night.  He made a complete and utter tit of him self from trying to explain why he wanted to work for Sugar to the arrogant admission that he hadn't bothered packing his case because he was so confident he had won.

I had him down to win off the back of his performances but you wouldn't get a job at McMucks walking into an interview like that let alone with a beardy millionaire.  

Plus for all the swagger and trumpet blowing turns out he's pretty much an entry level recruitment consultant.  'Head hunter' my arse

If he'd shown some common, played it straight he'd have walked that last night even with his patchy CV.  Off the bck of such stupidity and cuntishness I think he had to walk.

[OOH! SHAUN TAYLOR]

That Paul cunt is a real life David Brent. That thing about the Big Issue was hillarious. You couldn't make it up

In the end, he'd fucked up his interview so badly he had to resort to "Ooooooh, I'm great, I'm fantastic, I'm the best person in the whole world!" and the interviewer said, "Stop saying that!"

[Sippo]

That Ruth raised profit from 3 mill to 13 mill and she only got 1%. Thats bollocks!

Head in hands moment...

Paul (Cheesey grin on face and swaggering bonce) "I'm just a great guy, I make people laugh everyone likes me."

Interviewer (Looks up from desk and coldly replies) "I don't"

[Nomoreheroes]

The fact that Paul f*cked up the interview was the secret I knew.

David Brent indeed, brilliant television, now an extra 4 million people realise this bloke's a cunt.  The bit about his CV dates being wrong was excellent, the bit where he was trying to say £25k is an amazing wage (no one he knows earns that kind of money), and the bit where he tried to blag his knowledge of Amstrad

"they make computers"

"Not any more"

"Well no, they distribute them"

"No they don't"

"Oh well I'm not going to sit here saying things I don't know..."

there's no point debating the merits of the candidates as only that self-made woman has a slight bit of business nouse about her, and even she's crap.

ansell should have been put through to make the final mildly interesting though, that thick brummie hasn't got a chance.

all good tele though.
