"Outstanding? So you havent got it yet?"

"No, Outstanding as in over 85%"

lol Was just thinking about that. Sugar thought Nicholas's degree was outstanding...got the wrong end of the stick.

You're joking right?! You know Sir Alan he'd completed it and was just was taking the mick out of him.

Also, fancy telling Sir Alan that he couldn't hold a conversation with someone who liked football. Even if it's true, it's not the sort of thing to tell the former chairman of Spurs!

As always with this program, I find myself agreeing with pretty much everything MarcLister's said :)
 
It's just Big Brother but with a different name and slightly different rules. My wife loves it but I detest it. She loves the fact that they have such little business acumen and common sense and adores it for the entertainment value. I can't watch it without becoming enraged; I have to leave the room when it's on.

Yeah I thought that too as soon as he said he didn't like the footie I said to the missus he's gone. Siralan being a huge footie fan.

Still I think it's a top class programme the 1st 5-6 weeks are usually great. Then it get's boring.
 
Glad that he got fired, hopefully Raef will go next. Can't stand toffs.:)

Margaret Mountford looks like the sort of woman you'd dread to be your boss. She looks likes she's fired more than she's hired.

He's a toff yes but in the best possible sense of the word. Of all of them he seemed the most interested in the entire team's performance and he was unfailingly diplomatic. I hope he goes far.
 
Nicholas was a total clot! He insults the guy sitting next to him about his education of which in the next sentence he admitted he knew nothing about... you just don't do that as it tends to make you look an idiot!

I was GLOL when the "my degree is better than yours" argument started. Do you reckon those chaps surf GD on OcUK? :D

Just because the team leader liked football he immediately decided "oh he is a cool sorta guy that drinks loads down a commoners pub" so then added him to his ****-list.

Raef needs to go too as he is waaaaay to far up his own ... although I suspect he will have a longish run similar to that hip fellow from last year because he is quite funny.
 
Anyone actually seen the profile on the BBC site.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/apprentice/candidate/id/7/type/contestant.html

Nicolas has tried to punce up his name by adding the de-Lacey, his real name is Nick Brown. Sorry to see him leave, he was a complete tool an would have liked to see him and Raef fail week after week for my amusment, the show normally gets a bit stale after 7 or 8 weeks as all the idiots we love to hate are gone leaving a couple of candidates and just the one lucky idiot who makes it to the final three.

Sara being hot? her profile says she works in the family business and has massive student debts, seems to be living of Daddy's success.

funniest profile to read would be the hippy chick, http://www.bbc.co.uk/apprentice/candidate/id/12/type/contestant.html not actually sure how she managed to get into the show but i bet she'll be one the first women to start crying. Not the first contestant as that will be Michael, he got all 5 year old sulking that Alex didn't praise him for sales.

The strongest male in the show so far was the solicitor that bought the Fish.
"I'll give £50, no more."
Michael "£135"
"£50 or nothing"
"£120"
"£50"
"£100"
"£50"
"£80"
"£50"
"£70 and no less"
"£50"
"£55 and thats my lowest i'll go"
"£50"
"£50 done" Michael, done he certaintly was.

I like Jennifer "The best Sales Person in europe", if she truly was that good then she'd already be on a salary way over the £100,000 that SAS will be paying. I think that about a lot of the contestants, if they are truly as good as they believe they are than they would be worth that kind of salary. No need to jump through the hurdles of a TV show.
 
What's wrong with "toffs"? Are people insecure that there may be some people who maybe enjoy a different outlook/aspect of life? A little arrogance and self belief doesn't do any harm, unless it gets to a smarmy level which I'll concede Nicholas and Raef do have. However there's nothing wrong IMO with "toffs" - just because some people have had a bit more of a silver spoon upbringing doesn't make them bad people.

You're not allowed to be confident, well dressed, well cultured or well spoken, didn't you know? It makes all these normal people feel insecure and we can't be having that.

The negotiation was classic :D. Certainly these are not the cream of Britains young business talent, those people are all off earning far more than the £100k Sir Alan is offering for a pen pushing position in one of his distant subsidaries. But then again if they were the best of the best the program wouldnt be nearly as funny.

Apparently Nicholas says he wants to be remembered as the one with sunglasses and a Saville Row 3 Piece, ha! Saville Row my ****. Having said that, Raef looks a pretty sharp dresser.
