The Apprentice 2008

Saw Sir Al on the beeb news this morning - can't work out if his body's shrinking or his head is growing but he's looking very strange....  paint him green and he could be  auditioning for Dr Who as the mighty mekon or something...

 

Kosher, halal, it's all the same, right? Honestly, could they have rounded up a stupider bunch of people?!?

Probably not.  I HATE this programme, but the boyfriend insists on watching it.  That chicken business was just unbelievable, though I knew from the start that someone would screw it up.

I just can't get over their lack of basic knowledge.  Even if you don't know the exact rules of something being kosher, it's not too hard to look it up! 

I like it because the people are so stupid. It's like watching the beginning of American Idol, when you get to hear all the tone deaf people who think they are superstars.

I like watching it and making fun of them when they make silly business-related mistakes on their tasks. But I thought their stupidity about very basic things this week was beyond the pale.

Sad to see Raef go. I dislike most of the contestants at this point, besides Lucinda, and I don't think she really deserves to win either.

Oh well...

Nooooooo, I was so sad to see Raef go!  To be fair, he did ACTUALLY deserve to be fired on that task (he did drop the ball...you can't really argue otherwise), but I was still pulling for him until the end - thought he had a real chance at winning.

I really cannot wait for snotty little Michael to be booted out.  He gets on my nerves every week and is, quite frankly, a little sh!t.  He lies and magically acquires "expertise" in areas when it suits him and then suddenly doesn't know anything about other things in the board room when he wants to blame his teammates.  He makes me tear my hair out.

I'm putting money on Lee vs Clare in the last episode.  I'm not sure who I WANT to win now, but that's the best guess at who has a real chance.

I also have enjoyed watching Lucinda really come into her own ver the past few weeks.

Oh, I hope you're not right about Lee and Clare! I find them both thoroughly objectionable. I can't imagine ever hiring Lee - with that haircut and the perpetual stubble. He looks a mess. Clare isn't quite as bad, but I still don't like her. Having said that, I'm not sure I like any of the ones left except for Lucinda. She's done well the past few weeks.

I loved Raef too! 

I thought I read somewhere that it was going to be Lee and Lucinda in the final.  If that's the case, I'm rooting for Lucinda to win.  I really disliked her at first but I now think she'd be a good addition to Sir Alan Sugar's team based on what she seems to be able to contribute uniquely.  Along with Raef, I think Lucinda has real class.

I was gutted to see Raef get fired after what I thought was a relatively minor mistake, and only his first time round to really be on the firing line (pardon the pun).  I realise that they were meant to showcase the tissue product a lot more, but I thought the subtlety would attract more attention in a teaser way.  Obviously I'm wrong on this sentiment as I have not achieved Sir Alan's level of success, but I agreed with Raef not to do that closeup of the tissue box part way through the advert and thought the shot they featured at the end was enough. 

Raef behaved with real dignity throughout his tenure on The Apprentice, I hope he does well in his future endeavours.

Bye, Lucinda.  :\\\'(

I seriously wonder why anyone would want to work for Alan Sugar or any of those people who work for him (except for Nick and Margaret who I love).

This episode seriously annoyed me, and I don't care who wins at this point.

Now 'Kosher Chicken' boy has gone, I don't care either!

Though I kinda liked Helene after tonight.  She's the only one who isn't completely annoying.

Vicky

i thought the coverage of each person being interviewed was very uneven and at the end Sir Al didn't even recap to Helene what his colleagues thought about her.

Difficult call as to who wins as the losing team is automatically fired next week - reckon Clare or Alex will be the last two though.

I thought the interviewer with the beard was an amusing bloke, not overly impressed with the others though.
