The Apprentice

[RobertT]

Could anyone actually work with Ruth?

Several moments in that episode made me approach the TV with the intent to punch in her the face or break off her fingers.

Hated her approach in the interview.  Body language just smacked of I'm an aggressive little shit who knows no better and doesn't want to know any better.

Then the finger slapping in the board room to Alan Sugar, I'd have made her walk right there and then.  This was when she was totting up her reasons why she should stay.

Loved the bit in her interview where she mentioned several people resigned as soon as she got the job.

Paul, despite being the best performer, just produced the worst interview answers I have ever heard.

Michelle, seems to me to be a work place politician.  The sort that will never amount to much but will always do just enough in her career.  She will be hated by most, but stay in the good books of a few people that matter.  Bollocks to her alleged earning, who would ever go back to work if their business was a success.

Which leaves Ansell, who I thought should have won after the interviews were complete.  He may well be a "nice" bloke, but he did say something very interesting, if it works then it's not a problem.  Treat people with respect and you get it back.  he also did a very good job of showing he does have passion with his speech at the end in the board room I though, just that he doesn't feel the need to be loud mouthed arsehole all the time like Ruth.

10,000 people and we get down to these 2, makes you wonder what the fuck id going on in the business world.

I've vowed never to watch it again if Ruth wins. Incidentally you cannot raise turnover from £3m to £13m through efficiency. Efficiency would improve order timing or reduce costs, not increase turnover. She's spinning as much bollocks as the rest of them.

At the end of the day most people who get these jobs do it through spouting bullshit though so it's hardly surprising, although you must admit the whole scenario must be stressful and make you prone to mistakes etc.

Just watched it. Cringed at Paul. Trouble is with a character like that you are either hit or miss. If he hadn't been so arrogant I think that he would have breezed through. Thought Ansell had the most dignity, but haven't seen him perform. Ruth is just trouble. No way would I have her in my organisation. Michelle appeared reasonably normal. Looked to be a poor bunch to me !

Not sure whether the US version of the Apprentice is shown over there, but it appears to me as if Trump gets better candidates than Sugar.

Ruth is so full of shit. What kind of retard would turn down a subbatical from a company offering loads of share options? Noone, unless of course the story isn't that simple. Also 9 million increase through efficiency, WTF. Are they sharing toilet paper and working by candle light? Arrogant backstabber too. I wouldn't work for her.

I want the blond bird to win. But that sums her up, can't remember her name. I don't think she has too big a chance.

Anselll seemed an articulate, considered thinker. Unusual for an ex pro footballer. Was a shame to see him go.

Suprised noone reasearched AMS and his companies. Dicks. Mind you I guess not knowing Amstrad sell cheap tat emailer plus, unreliable Sky+ boxes and something that gives you a facial ( :shock: ) is an advantage

In the first series of the UK one the candidates were good. This series Alan Sugar has publicly criticised the programmers for choosing rubbishy people.

I didn't know that. Makes sense though. Crease me up next week if he says 'I've made my decision...You are both fired ! Ruth, you only won this task because of Paul. Therefore, Paul, you're hired !' Don't head down to the Bookies and bet on it though........it'll reduce my odds !

Well the balding one won it and have to say I'm pleased it wasn't the bulldog permanently chewing a wasp.

Still it does make you think if she’s earning 100k off the back of that what can really be achieved.

was always going to be 'chelle. i thought the compilations of ruth's faces at the end was classic  

[OOH! SHAUN TAYLOR]

I caught Ruth glancing over at Michelle a couple of times in that post-match thing with Adrian Chiles. I think she wants to do her with a strap- on. Partly for sexual kicks but mostly out of vengeance.

That's what I think any way. :|
