The Apprentice 2008

PM should have been sacked for all above reasons, but I can sort of see his justification. If she was the one in charge of the organization of each laundry bags, she shouldn't have left if no-one else was 100% sure of them.

Almost swore at TV when he didn't fire the ginger bint though.

Raef did well tonight, and as Simon said, it was all very precise, military-esque. Really pleased that Raef got praise, and on the programme on bbc2 afterwards, he deserved it.

Jenny is a hard-faced cow who really does act like that narrow minded primary school teacher everyone used to hate, ah well...won't be long, I hope.

So does he actually get a 6 figure salary, and actually spend any time working with sugar/learning from him as an apprentice?

He doesn't actually work for sugar anymore, he's doing something called the Bright Ideas Trust which sponsors businesses. I don't think he ever actually got a 6 figure salary.

Tim did earn a fair bit of cash but if you saw the documentary about Tim a year after he won The Apprentice you would have seen when Alan did his review of Tim he said he's not ready for the 6 figure salary. The job is more of an experience so the winner can move on to do bigger things, rather than just a well paying job.

I know. I swear both shows were on quicker last week.

I couldn't stand that hard nose ginger cow. If she was actually decent or was a good manager/leader it wouldn't bother me so much, but the fact that she is so incompetent, demeaning towards other team mates and seems to lover herself just riled me. She needs to be pushed off a cliff - without a parachute.

That decision stinks of set-up. The Asian lass was fairly neutral, nothing compared to leaving those two fiery figures in. Anything to keep the ratings up huh?

Tesla · 3 Apr 2008 at 08:19

I'm pretty sure it's not a set up but filming a team for 20hours or so you will end up with a lot of content which I imagine is good fun to edit.

The editing on this show is fantastic, it really stirs up a lot of emotion.

I am no film or TV production buff but it's always been top stuff on this show.

The girls were shambolic, Lindi doesn't come across as very bright, but seems to be lauding praise throughout the program I don't get it (24hr hotline??). Jenny is an awful team leader and so condescending grr. The cut showed Shazia to be great but her teammates didn't think much of her so I dont know how accurate that is. I think its funny that the girls only took 2 episodes for the claws/backstabbing to start.

To me without Simon, Raef would have fallen apart, it seems on the program that Simon was maintaining moral with the grafters while Raef was with his boys laughing and drinking coffee (of course this could be what the producer wanted show us). This may be wrong as the boys all seemed behind Raef at the end.

I'd agree with this.

To blame Shazia for the ****-up with the clothes is a bit out of order. It wasn't exactly a complicated system (writing down lists of clothes / machines). If no-one else was capable of working that out then the PM (Jenny) shouldn't have let her go home.

Also I think the girls were bringing washing in too late as was evident by the fact that they didn't finish in time and had to do the ironing in the morning.

Top effort from the boys last night, they worked really well as a team and delivered very good results.
