The Apprentice - (2013)
Enthusiastic ContrafibularitiesEnthusiastic Contrafibularities
Enthusiastic Contrafibularities Well, just played catch-up as I was out yesterday. Not pleased with the result as I am not happy with the industry Leah is now in. I think the profits Lord Sucrose could realise swung the final decision. To be honest the final candidates did not draw me in with their personalities, they both come across a little too cold. Luisa could still go out and get the finance needed to launch the business. I think I said a woman would win at the beginning Alas no prize for me. [ more ]

Kaffs I suppose that's true - but I always thinks series like this go fast then I see clips from the early shows and I think 'Ohhh.... I'd forgotten about THEM!' [ more ]
Extremely Fluffy Fluffy Thing I think it's due to the fact that we started on C4 and then had to 'start' again on here. So you get a distorted sense of time as we've only been going (on here) for 4 weeks. [ more ]

MB ***Mrs BBV***
***Mrs BBV*** Well last week on here seemed to go rather well if you ignore the other parts of the board where I believe anarchy reigned. So for this week I'm happy to continue for the time being. I did my initial post (flounce) thinking that's it, but I got few sugarettes pm ing, texting and leaving me messages asking me to reconsider so I thought we'd proceed on a week by week basis. The Bolthole is a lovely place but just isn't guaranteed to have 30 plus people on at the same time which means TA... [ more ]
demonickitten Mrs BBV your apprentice threads and the contributions from lovely posters (who dont have to have constant online psycotic episodes just to prove they exist) ,have been the best thing about the forum in the past. I TOTALLY understand what you are saying as I too feel this place is a breeding ground for nutters currently. Maybe if we went to the bolthole to discuss TA, which seems a lovely place , it may be better? Whatever you decide thanks for the past few years and TA threads,they were... [ more ]

Who are the best and the worst apprentice candidates?
FlossieFlossie
***Mrs BBV*** What complete balderdash, what an inverted pyramid of piffle. That is all completely untrue and ludicrous conjecture. I am amazed you of all people can write such drivel. [ more ]
Flossie Nope. Debra was just making a firm case for herself. I think you regard Nick as semi-divine, he isn't and like any human being will always be worthy of some sort of criticism. Mona demonstrated a brief skill at cajoling a retailer who seemed to be revelling in the media exposure and would probably have bought a kitchen sink had it been a means to get on the telly. Mona had repeatedly demonstrated what a talentless non-entity she was and while that isn't offensive, her character is. We are... [ more ]
Flossie Yeah well she was twice as stupid as the other contestants. She was spiteful and unprincipled in her desperate and clumsy verbal attacks on others and I think this was to disguise her awful lack of ability. She had clearly decided attack was the best means of defence, but she isn't equipped with the verbal skills to do anything but blunder about as she lashed to and fro. [ more ]

Kaffs With you now - but it's only guesswork at the end of the day. There aren't normally any spoilers on here - but I know how frustrating it is when people do post spoilers without a warning. [ more ]
Kaffs Ah, I remember all THOSE 'spoilers' Mrs BBV - I thought you meant at one time you didn't mention who'd gone within the thread at all! In any case I see paace has now clarified what they thought the OP was doing anyway... which is still only speculative. Soon be over anyway... [ more ]
paace 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. [ more ]

I've never seen anyone squirm as much as Philip watching his antics with Kate when they both had the cheek of denying that nothing was going on between them Silly guy, he chose to let two women be his downfall.

MB ***Mrs BBV***
paace Debra should definitely have gone last night. There's not a hope in hell that Sugar will employ her. They should have heeded Mona's advice at the start and gone with the family theme. The gay market was too narrow a market when Margate needs to attract all types. Debra was responsible for leaving the blank pages on the brochure and then lying in the presentation. An unforgivable crime in marketing. [ more ]
Starfleet Admiral hoochie I agreed with Sir Alan last night - I'd have got shot of Mona as well. She's never appeared to me to have any real dynamism about her - I've never had the sense that she would/could "Get things done". Unpleasant character that Debra is I do believe if you told her that something had to happen - it would happen Your challenge would be to make sure she listened to you well enough to really understand what her key objectives were. [ more ]
Puff Keep forgetting the thread is here! Good show last night but can't like any of them. Debra and Ben are the worst but good telly Having said I don't like any of them, most of them come over quite well on the BBC2 programme. [ more ]

Will Junior Apprentice spell the end of The Apprentice

***Mrs BBV*** I found her tendency to resort to psychobabble irritating. It alomost divorced her from the real world of business where psychological tools can be drawn on but are not a modus operandi on how to manage. Considering her background, her performance during the task she PM'd was atrocious. Had she been 'rough and tough' she might have made a better job in controlling Philip, who's Pantsman idea was what lost them the task. [ more ]

hal there is no hiding from the facts that she doesn't know much about her own accounts, or have projected it, to make it sound impressive, and another thing, i suspect its her brother that looks after it, hence her ignorance of company law and the term 'turnover' its probably kate, she's more balance and steady and owns up to things she doesn't know...eg, the blinis (though, at one point, i thought it was a very subtle attempt at sabotaging the project manager?)

Kaytee Out of a bad bunch, I think the best two made it to the final. I wouldn't hire either of them though [ more ]
paace I don't agree with Sir A's summing up of Kate at all. You need to be a controlled person as a leader if you want to control other people. It's easy to toss out stupid words like robotic which she certainly is not. Kate certainly knows how to enjoy herself. Yasmina is a much more controlling person which we saw the first time she took over as PM. That fierce staring look she puts on in the boardroom would terrify anyone. [ more ]
