It's rubbish this year, Bunch of idiots
The Apprentice - 2009
- Thread starter asim18
- Start date
Gave it a go last night, completely agree.
My guess is - they're not. They massively over exagerate their job title, acheivements and responsibilities.
Only an idiot would leave a well paid job to get the chance of earning probably similar to what they were already on working for a man with a history of commercial failures.
Precisely. Last year there was a chap who has the title, senior satellite television engineer. He said at one point his career was simply installing satellite dishes.
Last nights ep was cringe worthy to watch. What the hell were they thinking with the Greek theme? I will fully admit that i wouldn't really have a clue how to approach this task on the food front, but presentation is bloody easy - they simply should have worn black tie. I'd have just bought pre made nibbles & sandwiches and marked them up. Making food yourself for this kind of task is madness and looks terrible.
Just annoys me, always has and always will. It seems to be full of people who have watched Wall Street and feel they need to be loud first and second must ensure everyone LISTTTT ENS. Bar one or two the entire program is and has been full of pratts though I suspect the editing will emphasise these elements.
The woman in charge of the women's team last night, Jasmine, seemed to pride herself on her rudeness and ignorance.
I know she won the task, and she was certainly cost-efficient, but the lads made a show of themselves and made it very easy for her.
Many women seeking a senior role in business seem to feel they need to demonstrate agression, more so than the males around them and it becomes tiresome as it really isn't needed. Most of the really successful women are not like that and though clear of thought and direction they are not typically 'gobby' which these juniors are missing.

Correct. No one stands out yet as a potential winner. And I still don't get why several series in people are major planks. They've had prior series to watch and learn from but they get dumber each year.
I think they only slightly exaggerate their job titles.

It's like these people should have been in the first series when no one knew what to expect.

Does that woman with the glasses, Lorraine ever say a bloody word? I can picture it now. She'll get to the final 3, then, SAS will open his eyes and say, "Hang on. Who are you again?"

Yup.
Trying to remember the first series to see how rubbish they were considering it was effectively a pilot. And I can't so I shall wiki. 
The boys were doing great selling sandwiches but why weren't they selling drinks as well? Weren't they allowed. Can of coke 25p wholesale sells for a quid in tourist areas. Who wouldn't buy a coke with their sambo. Also they ran out /shock!!!
I'd have ditched the evening event and made more sambos.
Sometimes I think the show is made so one team fails. The girls got the easier event to cater for. Did they boys have to accept the deal at 25 quid I'd have said it's too low for quality food and good luck to the client. Gotta have a bit of balls.
