The Apprentice 2008

Much as I'd love to believe it's "all about the TV" - I still believe SAS wants someone honest working for him. He's not an idiot, and from what I've read about him, he trusts honest people and hates liars and idiots. Despite his "business hard man" image, he's still a family man and old-school honest businessman, which I have a lot of respect for, even though he's not Dell or HP or Microsoft. He hates using the phrase "You're fired".

The end stages of the series will still be about the 1-to-1 interviews, removing the left-over fraudsters and BS-ers.

I think Lindi will win it - purely because they want a female winner this year.

Was a good episode tonight, but bought out even more the fact so many of the contestants are 'playing' the game. Raef is going right up in my estimations after at first, really really disliking him. Alex, I was disappointed in tonight. Until this last episode he was my favourite, now I am not so sure.

SAS is really going to have cut the rubbish out in the next few weeks, looking forward to it.
 
Is there anywhere where we can get extra footage, BBC4/3 perhaps, I know there are some clips on the website. 1 hour a week isn't enough!
 
Claire is clearly delusional.

She thinks she is something when she is clealry nothing.

Can't wait to see her fail next week when she is team leader.

Not a lot happened tonight and their IT skills where just pathetic.

I thought this was the most shocking part. Out of 20,000 applicants they picked a load of people that struggle to print images from a laptop?! Some members i.e Alex knew what they were doing, but I would have thought one of the basic requirements for such a high paying role as this would be ICT literacy? My year 7's have more of an idea than some of those idiots last night.
 
I was laughing my head off last night listening to all the USB connect/disconnect beeps that were coming from that laptop. WTF are they doing, I was wondering.

duh DING, duh DING, duh DING............................ duh DING

They were so stupid, I bet they can you psh words, argue, and use word, but nothing else it seems even after being trained.

Good episode, simon was funny when he started to cry, but good idea with the david beckham lookalike, perfect for the location and task.

Still a pity the IT let them all down tonight, as im sure one of us keyboard warriors would have given them massive profits if we were on *** team doing IT and printing.
 
It was crazy to see them struggling with such a simple task and as the technician said.. his kids could have done a better job! I mean they didn't seem to follow any logic and were just randomly pressing buttons.

Mad that Lucinda has got to this point in her life without really making use of technology or even ever using a digital camera!

Roll on next weeks episode.
 
I loved Claire's spin on the situation when she got back to the house. She cunningly left out the bits where SAS was shouting "Get out of my sight, I'm sick of looking at you!". The others probably thought she was dismissed as a definite contender for the competition and given the position of Team Leader to show them how it's done.

I also love the way Alex must live out of a bag considering how often he's in the boardroom!
 
Neck on the block time then guys

Who do you see being the last two in the Final?. I know it's still early days but I have a sneaking feeling I have seen the last two already!!


Looks to me like Jennifer and Michael are the two most likely to be in a final at the moment.


So, come on then, who's it going to be??
 
^^ Tough decision as the standard is so low this year.

Although I think it'll be one of each gender, I can't think of a decent female candidate so will go for Alex and Lee.
 
I think Sralan will get fed up of Alex soon so I'm thinking perhaps Jenny and Lee for the final with Michael Sophocles being 3rd. He seems to be this year's Ansell - a nice guy who is too softly-spoken for Sralan's belligerent ways.
 
Much as that's barrel scraping, it's probably the best you'll get out of the guys.

My bet is now on Lindi winning this - she seems quite switched on, and hasn't been in the limelight thus far.
She suggested the 24 hour hotline to status updates on your pantaloons...not exactly genius level thinking now.
 
I also think Raef will win, or the guy with the very deep southern accent (forgot his name) both seem very sensible.. a lot of the others are totally full of it.
