They are just ignorant Spoilers and want to ruin a programme for everyone. I enjoy reading Mrs BBV's thread but I'm afraid I'll have to give it a miss until the final programme when the Apprentice is revealed.

I don't understand? The person who said they knew Howard was going to go only commented that they'd deduced it from something they saw earlier - but they didn't say so till after the show... by which time it was obvious from numerous posts before who had gone? I'm not sure how 'no spoilers' works in a live thread that discusses the programme? I mustn't have been around for series 3, but it must be difficult surely?

Well from what I remember there was a poster who appeared on the thread every week and said she knew who was going and posted it. (DaisyBee if I remember rightly)

After muchos outrage by the other posters, and a request for 'no spoilers' to be put on the thread title she took her 'spoilers' elsewhere and started her own 'I know who's getting Fired threads'. TBH after a couple of weeks they were always wrong and turned out to be speculative guesses more than her in the know.

I'd rather just put a 'no spoilers please' into the thread title than there be any bad feeling in the thread. If someone else wants to start their own thread with factual spoilers with programmes inside knowledge or media fact then of course that is their perogative but all forum etiquette always dictates that you should alert your audience first? Hence the anger with DaisyBee as she never did.

However speculative spoilers are all part of the fun aren't they? Especially if they turn out to be pure, unmitigated bollox with no substaniated fact whatsoever?

Sorry guys as I posted hastily and in anger, as I thought the poster was going to reveal how you can work out who Sir A is going to fire at the start of each programme.
Still at this stage in the programme I'm going to stay away from anything to do with the programme until the Apprentice is revealed.
