The Apprentice - Series 5 Page 5

Quote: Tuumble @ April 2 2009, 9:34 AM BST

The decisions made every week just seem to be unbelievably crass and stupid. It's all about putting the candidates under pressure and seeing how they react. I do wonder how I'd do but it's quite disturbing to think these were the best 15 out of 10,000 applicants.

It's not about the best business brains, it's about the most entertaining. If you had sixteen brilliant entrepenuers it would make for deathly dull telly. The joy is watching these supremely confident cocks make even bigger cocks of themselves.

It's so cringey... and I don't like the way we really had no clue at all who was going to win till the end. Part of the fun is knowing the score and what a bollocking they're going to get.

I haven't seen last night's yet. I was watching the football. I'm a man. *titter*

Hence why I haven't mentioned who's left... but I wouldn't read back if you don't want to know. The clues are rather obvious.

I actually don't mind knowing who got the boot. It changes the perception of the programme in an interesting way.

N.B. every year why are the boys sort of puppyish and nice(if also deeply pathetic)? And the girls absolutely vile and bullying. Max Moseley must wank himself sore over that collection of sexy, power dressed, control freaks.
You will call me chef!

I'm getting to like that Asian guy alot. Somehow the mixture of arrogance and a beard makes great TV.

The missing Appleton sister's food negotiations were comedy genius. Just Margaret in the background pretty much banging her head against the desk was brilliant.

I felt sorry for the guy who got fired, but sandwiches were his business!

Mouth should have gone if only for his 'I think you should fire the pair of them' line...

I don't believe they just pick the ones that will make the best telly - there's a £100k job going and Sir Alan isn't going to trust one of his companies to a nob.

Besides you had Ms Frown last week and Mr Have-you-actually-said-anything-yet whose names I still can't remember

Agreed.

Don't worry - his days are numbered

100k is a cheap price to pay for three weeks of free advertising on peak time BBC for Alan Sugar and his various businesses.

Yep. That's me!

I actually smile when the program starts like a pavlovian response.
It's just good wholsome entertainment.
Pacy, funny and full of characters. And full of watch through your fingers moments.
Your to hairy and ugly for togas, those brushettas are to big, stop making the office look like a porn set!
And the one where the lawyer got them down to £15 a head by merely looking bored, ace!
n.b,that little room Alan Sugar comes out of into the boardroom?
I bet that's his personal shitter and all the contestants get a quick whiff of his leavings before the meeting starts.
