Well, it's started again.

 

I don't understand why they all jumped on Bilyana at the zoo for stealing their sales - surely London Zoo is big enough for them to split up into groups of 2 so they didn't get in each others way?

Either way I think the wrong person was fired, either one of the other 2 should've gone before Bilyana imo.

We said the same about the zoo scene. Why didn't they split up and walk in different directions rather than walk en-masse?? And then have a go at Bily for trying to sell product!?

Duh, get busy selling, girls. One of the better candidates, for sure - certainly the best looking! She came over really well on the BBC2 'You're Fired' prog after. Her only error was not shutting up before Sugar.

I don't think she was gonna get fired, she talked herself into getting fired. the blond was gonna get fired IMO right up to the final moments the foreign bird chopsed Alan Sugar again.

 

A.S made the right call.

That was my thoughts too, Alan Sugars summing up almost to the point of telling the blonde she was fired seemed the direction he was going. Once Bilyana started talking over him and pleading her case for staying again I think changed his mind and got shot of her instead.

I genuinely believe that was in the editing. I think Bilyana was always Sir Alan's choice, and she knew it, but the producers tried to make it more tense and fool you into thinking the blonde bint was sweating it at the end.

Even though the South Bank was a much better sales location, I still can't believe the blokes sold over a grands worth of that tat they were selling.

 

All those mugs buying a crappy teddy for £10 / £15 thinking that would get them on TV probably.

That's why I'd never be any good at it. I could never have the nerve to sell people absolute tat like that. Or pester people to buy rubbish they don't need.

 

Why does the boardroom always start with every sat down and Alan Sugar then coming out the toilet?

 

Oh, great... now that's what I'm going to be thinking every time I see the boardroom scenes :?

Bloody hell, how useless is the girls team this year? They all seem f*cking clueless. Going into Amazon and asking them to put in an order for 1m units...absolutely ridiculous! Their product was sh!te as well. Should've fired all 3 imo.

 

The boys actually seem like a pretty slick unit though, they all seem to know what they're doing and I think personally that only ego will put any of them in the firing line in the coming weeks. That idea for the gloves was terrible, but their composter is the perfect product to launch now. The design was spot-on and that wouldn't look out of place in somewhere like John Lewis - trendy metropolitan types would snap those like they were going out of style.

I just think the format is slightly wrong since they changed it to an investment. I cant help thinking that Sugar knows whose business idea he wants and wont fire people on the basis of the particular task.That bird fired the other night, shouldn't have gone, but I bet her investment idea was some sort of restaurant as that was all she went on about. Sugar thought, I dont want to invest in a restaurant, so sacked her. Last year was the same that Tom guy was hopeless, lost about 6 tasks running yet Sugar never fired him, turned out he had the best original idea (some curved nail file). It's a bit Dragons Denish for me. If Sugar doesn't want someone to work for him, then it should just be a cash prize or failing that Sgar shouldn't ask for their ideas until nearer the end, I just get the feeling his decisions are being based on stuff other than the tasks and I didn't get that feeleing under the previous format.

rubbish episode last night I though.

 

Not a good idea for a challenge, and to many 'managed' situations.

 

The criteria for winning were wrong too. The 'winning' team were called that because they took more income, but that ony happened with them promising free space hoppers and other equipment, and the firm that wanted them only paid £17.50 an hour for lots of venues, not the £35 they asked for, so they'd have had to provide loads of equipment. It is likely that their profit would have been much less than the 'losing' team's. They may even have made a loss.

 

I mean, on that basis they could have won by saying "for every hour you take at £17.50 , we'll give you £100 cash in hand."
