Joy!

If they were actually as good at business as they think they are, they wouldn't be appearing on a show like this, they'd be, er, running businesses and making lots of money already, wouldn't they?

Unreality TV.

The first one to get the boot must've learned his management style from watching Gordon Ramsay on the telly. Shout. Shout a bit more. Swear. Then shout again. But at least Gordon Ramsay could make a decent sausage.

And yet you watch it?

Where do they get the candidates from? Some parts last night were - what's that word again...? Cringeable.

I used to work with Stuart Baggs, he was a little tw@ who had the MD (who was just as much a tw@) wrapped round his little finger. He claims to have a telecoms company in the Isle of Mann. First class d1ck.

Top telly.

A couple of cracking looking birds on as well this year - I reckon Sandeesh in particular has all the requisite attributes for success.

The same pool of people who go on Big Brother. The only difference is that this lot think they're too good to go on Big Brother and make idiots of themselves.

The nature of my work means that I work with very senior people in very large companies, I don't think I've met one of those senior people who would take on a typical back-stabbing, shallow, egomaniac like these Apprentice candidates. I overheard one director ripping into a junior manager last year, the gist of it was "shelve the ego until you've actually done something beyond stealing the credit from others".

"some people want a country house and a sports car, I have that!".. pratt

HP Sports car and "country house" (i would assume all houses in the IoM are country houses) mortgaged up to the hilt a hell of a lot of people can have.. so its not necessarily a thing to brag about..
if he actually owns both at 21 then why does he want to go on the apprentice for a 100k salary and working for someone else.. expand your business make it better and make the millions that you can FFS.. hes obviously spouting..

the bloke that got fired.. TA? obviously acting like he would on the drill ground.. idiot.

the girls look good but didnt say any of the chaps there that make me sit up and think "they have something about them"... Raleigh i could see in politics the way he talks..

Based on that, I decided to have a letch look. BBC Apprentice linky

I suppose that Sandeesh is nice, the coloured contact lenses look odd though... Of the others, Liz Locke (24) and Laura Moore (22) look like they've lied about their age, 22 must be the new 35, either that or they've had damnably hard lives with an 80-a-day smoking habit..

When the programme is fronted by Lord Alan, what do you expect? The man is awful.

Of course. It's hilarious!

That's exactl what I said to the missus last night. There are on it for the ego and potential for celeb status, just like BB people, or they are BS'ing about there achievements and background, but surely it is all checked out.

And Baggs, 21, he looks a lot older. I'd like him to try and sell me sausages.

[shrek]

"Would your wife like to try a different Sausage this evening?"

The thing that gets me with all the tasks is there's 8 per team on a task like last nights, they have no wages, no manufacturing costs etc, yet in the 18 or so hours the task must have run for they only manage to turn in a profit of around 300 quid which is peanuts, hardly what I'd be expecting from so called entrepreneurs!

Thought the blokes project manager was going to be saved last night, I am sure there was some potential for some ear blasting gems to trip of his tongue in future tasks as he was being bossed about!

[ShotgunGold]

"Everything I touch turns to sold........."

I know it's immature but I liked... "Do you think your wife would like to try a different sausage at all?"



I hope "Brand Baggs" goes next - what an idiot.

Oh and I like Stella, Laura and Liz. I hope they go far.

The cross-code forum?

[Saint Rich]

So kind that they let the sixth-former join in the fun.

Last night's was hilarious. I was very pleased that the boys lost, having made the worst kind of biscuity sausage possible.

The scrap within the girl's team was hilarious, particularly when the PM tried to prevent the other from closing the deal she'd set up. Just bad manners, but for the PM to then claim that she had no ego was like watching Tony Blair claim he's not a liar. Hilarious.

I'm more interested in reading Gav's opinion.
he came out with the most insightful comment at this stage last year, correctly identifying the eventual winner

[timtum]

Tonight I sold 380 euros worth of sausages to the English Speaking Womens Group.

Am I young and flaky enough to succeed on the Apprentice
