Denzil Posted 10 May, 2011 Posted 10 May, 2011 He's getting humiliated and is getting angry. Why do these chumps do it to themselves?
Doctoroncall Posted 10 May, 2011 Author Posted 10 May, 2011 He gave up his job for that.... unbelieveable. The fact he had a job is unbelieveable!
Wes Tender Posted 10 May, 2011 Posted 10 May, 2011 What a shame he couldn't have been kept on, for the pure comedy value.
Saint_Jonny Posted 10 May, 2011 Posted 10 May, 2011 Not only am I the youngest, but i'm also the shortest... Unbelievable!
thefunkygibbons Posted 11 May, 2011 Posted 11 May, 2011 The thing that always surprises me is, do these people ever watch the prior series, as they always repeat the same mistakes Rule 1: delay being a project manager for the first few weeks
scott_saints Posted 11 May, 2011 Posted 11 May, 2011 I think he was actually hoping the Innocent smoothies man would give him a job.
ecuk268 Posted 11 May, 2011 Posted 11 May, 2011 The woman who'd been trained by Al Gore, Desmond Tutu and the Dalai Lama and had worked with 8 Nobel Prize Winners? Are these people serious? If they all been so successful, what do they want with a mere £250k?
CB Saint Posted 11 May, 2011 Posted 11 May, 2011 I hate the first few weeks of the apprentice. There are so many utter F***witts on it that I only can really start to enjoy it once Lord Sugar has whittled them out.
Ken Tone Posted 11 May, 2011 Posted 11 May, 2011 The woman who'd been trained by Al Gore, Desmond Tutu and the Dalai Lama and had worked with 8 Nobel Prize Winners? Are these people serious? If they all been so successful, what do they want with a mere £250k? Oh, I thought she had trained the Dalia Lama etc, and had 8 Nobel prizes herself ;-)
Hatch Posted 11 May, 2011 Posted 11 May, 2011 Are these people serious? If they all been so successful, what do they want with a mere £250k? Did you notice though, at the start of the show, Sugar said ' I will be investing £250,000 worth of cash AND VALUE' ie. Sod all cash.
Ken Tone Posted 11 May, 2011 Posted 11 May, 2011 Did you notice though, at the start of the show, Sugar said ' I will be investing £250,000 worth of cash AND VALUE' ie. Sod all cash. Yep. eg one day of consultancy from his lordship = £20k ? This is a reality show, not a job opportunity. The participants are either thick, self-delusional, or just hope to make a media career, or maybe all 3.
Lord Duckhunter Posted 11 May, 2011 Posted 11 May, 2011 His idea of the orange juice came across well on the You're fired programme. He had the costings and margin all sorted out, had he of shared this with the others and talked Sugar through it in the Boardroom, he may have survived. In fact had they juiced enough oranges and got them on sale earlier they would have ****ed the task.
Gemmel Posted 11 May, 2011 Posted 11 May, 2011 This year will see the contestants fighting it out to win a £250,000 prize fund that will be invested into their own business. The winning contestant will be able to choose what type of business they wish to set up and will have the backing and mentoring of Lord Sugar, with each taking a 50/50 stake in the company. Think you are being a tad cynical there Hatch
LGTL Posted 11 May, 2011 Posted 11 May, 2011 The woman who'd been trained by Al Gore, Desmond Tutu and the Dalai Lama and had worked with 8 Nobel Prize Winners? Are these people serious? If they all been so successful, what do they want with a mere £250k? I've always thought that too. Why would someone with their own company supposedly worth millions want to work for someone else on only a 6 figure salary, or in this case for £250k... Media whores.
hamster Posted 11 May, 2011 Posted 11 May, 2011 Just watching it now. I'd always fancied myself as a bit of an entrepreneur actually. First thing to happen, some bloke knocks the door at FIVE in the morning! **** right off SIR Alan.
Chin Strain Posted 12 May, 2011 Posted 12 May, 2011 I've always thought that too. Why would someone with their own company supposedly worth millions want to work for someone else on only a 6 figure salary, or in this case for £250k... Media whores. I love Leon's 'I turned over £1m from nothing'....ok, and the profit was....????? That's the bit they never say until someone gets outed at the interview stage in the penultimate task
Wes Tender Posted 12 May, 2011 Posted 12 May, 2011 I hate the first few weeks of the apprentice. There are so many utter F***witts on it that I only can really start to enjoy it once Lord Sugar has whittled them out. The early stages are the only ones worth watching, because the f***wits are the pure comedy value. When they are gone, the programme becomes much duller. Mind you, the early stages also includes some nice eye candy females too, like that one who was the PM in the first episode. A pity though to have to listen to the drivel that came out of her mouth.
hamster Posted 12 May, 2011 Posted 12 May, 2011 'the corks hanging off the hat aren't stereotyping, they are to show that it's an australian'. Brilliantly stupid
Wade Garrett Posted 12 May, 2011 Posted 12 May, 2011 "I'm bringing Joe into the boardroom" "no you're not" "OK, I'm not bringing Joe in" Lord Sugar "F*cking hurry up you dopey c*nt, I want to go home". Best programme on the tellybox.
SuperMikey Posted 12 May, 2011 Posted 12 May, 2011 Can't believe the boy's app lost, it was far better than the girl's one. Had to love Jim worming his way out of the boardroom though - top quality!
Lord Duckhunter Posted 12 May, 2011 Posted 12 May, 2011 They had the best pitch the best app and even the birds thought they were going to lose. However, even I was thinking "this is too British". It was obvious that Sugar was giving them a big hint with "this is going global". In my opinion it was a lot better than the bird's one, but could see why theirs was more popular even if it was crap. The funnist part was before he announced the result, the birds were all saying they didn't like theirs ,and the blokes were all saying what a great idea they had. They then statretd to back track and blame the bloke with the idea, whilst the birds were all hugs and kisses.
Hatch Posted 12 May, 2011 Posted 12 May, 2011 it is brilliantly edited and produced to make all the contestants look pretty useless. the Girls project manager pitch last night was cringeworthy..but bloody hilarious...
Saint Mikey Posted 12 May, 2011 Posted 12 May, 2011 'I've looked at all your strengths and weaknesses and decided that the person to do the pitch is...me.' LOL. You couldn't make it up...
ecuk268 Posted 14 July, 2011 Posted 14 July, 2011 Some classics last night: "Does anyone speak Mexican?" "Didn't Columbus bring back the potato?" "Byron wrote around the same time as Shakespeare" What does "el" (spanish) mean?

Viking Warrior Posted 14 July, 2011 Posted 14 July, 2011 Maths is good . turnover 60 customers at £7 a head = £4600 then £4200 Alan Sugars face was a picture Jim is living a chanced life with his maths
Glasgow_Saint Posted 14 July, 2011 Posted 14 July, 2011 I used to work with Natasha in Casa (Bournemouth) She likes the ladies
Dimond Geezer Posted 14 July, 2011 Posted 14 July, 2011 I used to work with Natasha in Casa (Bournemouth) She likes the ladies She scrubbed-up surprisingly well in You're Fired. The make-up ladies did a fantastic job.
bristolsaint29 Posted 14 July, 2011 Posted 14 July, 2011 I used to work with Natasha in Casa (Bournemouth) She likes the ladies i saw her in a car park last week, looked rough as a badgers arse

Lord Duckhunter Posted 14 July, 2011 Posted 14 July, 2011 She scrubbed-up surprisingly well in You're Fired. The make-up ladies did a fantastic job. All the bird's that have been fired have come on that show looking pretty good. It is a great show by the way, Dara O Briain is great on it.
Micky Posted 15 July, 2011 Posted 15 July, 2011 it is brilliantly edited and produced to make all the contestants look pretty useless. the Girls project manager pitch last night was cringeworthy..but bloody hilarious... Sadly I think you'll find that it is edited to make them look like potential business partners. Unfortunately, they are useless.
Lord Duckhunter Posted 18 July, 2011 Posted 18 July, 2011 (edited) So the Mad inventor won. Thye final was a bit of a let down in my opinion. It changed into a "Dragon's den" type of show. The business plans of all of them were pretty stupid really, and I see that Sugar is now going to ditch the chair and concentrate on Tom's nail file............ Edited 18 July, 2011 by Lord Duckhunter
JackFrost Posted 18 July, 2011 Posted 18 July, 2011 Didn't follow it that closely but that Chinese girl has a lot going for her. To get where she has at 21 is pretty impressive to say the least I do agree the prize is pretty mediocre but then Sugar is egotistical to say the least. No question he's doing it to earn big bucks for himself
