Has to be the funniest series yet.

So far there's the women's team called Alpha (maybe more of an OcUK in-joke, but still).
A woman who proudly claimed that people compare her to her big *female dog*.
Fish constantly sold under cost-price
A lying barrister (claims never to have failed yet hasn't got pupillage within a year of qualifying = EPIC FAIL)
The worst negotiation in the history of negotiation

Can't wait to see the rest of the series.
 
:eek: he got an outstanding!! Hardly ANYBODY ever gets an outstanding :eek: I call shenanigans on el incompitano
 
In yesterdays London paper Nicholas was quoted as saying he now has a pupillage at one of the best chambers in the country. This led to a whole room of trainee barristers checking directories and calling people. It's not certain, but I think he's a lying liar - nobody could find any shred of information as to where he's got his pupillage and usually that information is very easily available...
 
I think the only reason the PM didn't get fired was because the other two were so bad at defending themselves.

The girl that got fired should have pointed out that even if they hadn't lost the £50 they still would have lost. The reason they lost thus wasn't her, but the people selling - and they key person selling was the PM. The major contract they lost, the '£5000 contract' (LMAO) was purely the PMs fault.

The blonde girl should have pointed out the PM's bullying, lack of proportionality and blame culture that she created. How the PM continued for (was it 15 minutes?) in the car until someone else, unrelated, had to get involved and pull her back, telling her to calm down and realise what she was doing, would have been a key thing that I'd have mentioned.
 
'I've got 100% off the price of the menu' - erm no you really haven't.

'I'm an idiot, Lee McQueen is an idiot' - referring to yourself in the third person is never good.

Ian should have been fired purely for not knowing the word 'loser' - all he had to do was look in a mirror.

Meanwhile Simon's reminding me more and more of Manny from Black Books 'We need to cook! We need to cook!'

@NathanE - he only had spending control over the food, not the fliers etc. It makes sense to me for the head chef to have control over the food budget as he chooses what ingredients are needed and in what quantities. Ian still should have made sure they had bought cheaply and had bought early.

He got 50% off, but it was in effect a 100% saving.

No it wasn't. A 100% saving on £10 is £10, which is 100% off making the item £0. Their initial offer was 100% more than what they ended up paying though. That, however, is not what he said.

@NathanE - I could be wrong, but I thought I saw Kevin putting it in the shopping trolley.
 
Wrong decision Sir Sugar, wrong decision.

Whilst I don't think Simon's particular special I think he's better than most there and, apart from that, he seems like a really nice guy. Sorry to see him go and even more sorry to see that hateful talentless Claire didn't.

Bad decision Sir Sugar, bad decision.

Simon should have taken the photos and then agreed with the customer which one was to be printed, then noted down the numbers/names.

He did, except somehow when they were transferring the photos to the computer they wiped out the photo's file names and ended up with 1.jpg, 2.jpg etc instead of the original file names of 484864156.jpg - how I have no idea.
 
If they had opened the photos actually on the memory card then of course yes, but somehow when they transferred them to the computer they got renamed (you could see a shot of an open folder with 1.jpg, 2.jpg, 3.jpg etc). I'm willing to bet they didn't just drag and drop the files, but instead relied on that software to import them...idiots
 
If you watch the clips on the Apprentice website it's quite interesting to see that a lot of what's been left out includes very sharp, intelligent comments by Kevin. Certainly he comes across as a real candidate in the clips on the website, something he fails to do on the program.
