The Apprentice (UK) 2012

I'm going to blink 110 times. for the rest of my life. then that's me done with blinking.

Tom and Adam can just fuck off now.

Keep thinking Adam's the worst then I see Steven

Stephen's just descended to being an argumentative prick at this point. He thinks he's impressing AlSug, but really he's talking his way out of the door.

... double firing?

YES

BOOM! DOUBLE HEADSHOT!

lol Dara

"I'm the guy that will learn from his mistakes, and come back the next day and do the same thing again"

hmmm...

Jesus, we really thought Stephen was getting away with it again there.

I'm still Team Ricky, despite everything. Him and Nick. Maybe Jade at a desperate push. Adam and Tom can fuck off though.

Stephen's grown that beard in the time it took Dara to interview Gabrielle.

When Jade got the 50% Sanctuary discount, I knew the game was over...

Nick vs Jade for the final. Ricky coming across more and more as Pricky. Tom is a smirking jerk and Adam is just a bumbler.

Ricky is normally the only one they show telling potential clients why they might actually want to do business with them. Thinking about what other people might need to know, rather than what you want to say, seems to be a quality lacking in most candidates.

Nick's shown that as well, although not to the same extent. Ricky keeps on missing sales, like the 'only 100' thing this episode. Jade doesn't miss things like that, but OTOH she doesn't have Ricky's sales presentations skills.

Jade Jennie Bond has a voice that really annoys me.

Fav moment in this episode was when Ricky came out of the boardroom and Gabrielle was grinning from ear to ear. Although she was fired it must have been great to know that Stephen went too.

Good episode. Also loved that the manager at Windows gave Ricky a grand tour with no intention of striking a deal - good advertising if you can get it!

That guy was on Michel Roux Jr's programme last year where he trained unemployed kids to work in the hospitality trade, he was quite self-promoting then too. I'd have edited him out of it for cheek, but I guess the BBC quite like him.

If a luxury product is affordable, doesn't it cease to be a luxury?

oh just get Adam the fuck out of there already.

The moment he put himself forward to be PM, I knew they'd lose. And they did, even in spite of Nick's ideas and Jade's sales skills.

Thought Ricky and Tom totally nailed the brief - even without the blithering twatfest opposite them almost guaranteeing them victory by default, they looked like winners right the way through.

I have no idea why preparation and research aren't more widely-used and rewarded.

Chocolate shop should've been called LORD SUGAR

YES

wait when do they do the interviews?

Sunday. Interviews are ripping the business plans apart iirc

oh yeah right so. so there's only one ep left and it's not the big task where all their friends come back to help?

aargh, Kelvin Mackenzie is on You're Fired, in the only possible move to make Adam seem like not the biggest twat in the room.

and Ruby Wax, why are they doing this to us

Ruby Wax there as well. I almost feel sorry for Adam.

Actually I don't feel sorry for him, with his shiny pink perpetually grinning face that looks like something a kid would draw on a balloon.

God, Nick Knowles seems like a real-life spitting image puppet

I'd watch a Rolf Harris Apprentice.

Who was the silver fox checking out Jade during her presentation? The way the show was edited, I thought he was going to turn out to be a talking point later, but he wasn't. Did the editor just fancy him?

The moment he put himself forward to be PM, I knew they'd lose. And they did, even in spite of Nick's ideas and Jade's sales skills.

Yeah, Jade was in danger of winning the task for them.

"CHOCOLATE BAAAAAAH!"

Final on in five minutes, once Gary Barlow and his Royalist Tory tossbag mates have finished writing a pish song for the Queen.

In a pub with it on. Happy days.

I hope bald Claude punches smug Tom in the face over and over again.

Lol Nick working the catwalk just then

Jade's idea is the shittiest of the four by a long way.

I need a pub with this on :(

aldo aren't you in Bris? can't be arsed to go out and find a pub tho

Yes, in the Bishops on Cheltenham Road.

Ricky has a degree in medical biochemistry?!
"Who plans a meal with recipes" er lots of people?

Is it just me or are some pitching ideas that basically they weren't willing to be PM on?

we're predicting Ricky to be hired

Yeah, seems like the only conclusion. Especially after Claude sucking his cock so much.

@Lord_Sugar
