The Apprentice - Series 9 Page 15

There does seem to a shift towards fake hair, fake nails, fake lips and fake skin tone this series. Maybe it is just me, but I think people are much more attractive in their natural state.

Luisa suggests calling her business "masterbake". That's why she gets my vote.

I thought it was like that every year. But I only really dip in and out.

Always true.

I don't really get what's so special about the Irish doctor's idea? People already get botox etc don't they, so what's in it for Alan?

I'm guessing it's like high street botox and whatnot? I suspect it'll be too risky in terms of negative publicity and he'll just plump for the baking thing.

How big would Lord Sugars head have to pumped for him to lose his wrinkles.
He'd end up looking like Hamburglar.

There's bags of money in it.

It's a crowded marketplace already, Nogget. Maybe I missed something, but I didn't see how it was going to be competitive. If it's taking it to the high street, then maybe, but I'm still skeptical.

He'll go for the bakeware for sure. I always find the interview one too heavily edited and seems we don't see enough of the actual interview, just snippets.

But Louisa is an idiot! How can she win a reality show...

...oh I see...

It's all fake if any of them had a decent plan they'd get a loan off the bank or contact investors like a normal person.

And I've seen the application form it's pretty similar to the one for big brother.

Just watched the last one, how stubborn and deluded was that Neil bloke? How many times did Sugar have to tell him, No, it won't work? He obviously hadn't done any trial marketing, his over confidence in himself was staggering, it was all about him, not the product.

The other bloke was asking for trouble with his cheeky partnership plan.

The dance woman had a good product but lacked business nous badly. 'Turnover?'
'Er, five million?' 'Bye'.

Sugar's lines are getting much better, wonder if he's got a scriptwriter now? Best one - Do I wanna spend my hundreds and thousands on hundreds and thousands? :D

They changed the winners format from a 'job' with Sugar to an investment.
Probably because the winners either didn't take up the offer or left shortly after starting the new job.

The banks are not even lending money to established business's never mind a 'man with a plan'

It's a pretty good deal for the winner. You wouldn't get that amount from a bank for a start up.

Probably why Sugar feels he should help new businesses out, he is a Lord of business now after all. Or was, before the Tories instantly fired him.

It'd be great if CVs did just have photos, name and age.
