As usual with these 'build a marketing campaign' tasks, it's the graphic designers I feel sorry for.

Tom to go?
― mmmm, Wednesday, 16 May 2012 20:16 (twelve years ago) link
It's being edited to look that way. If his team lose, and he's really done nothing except piss about tasting wines with Adam, then he should go. I have to say, that again Nick looks like the most competent candidate.

wtf, they agreed that Ricky's campaign got to the heart of the brief more than Tom's did, then randomly decided to make them lose anyway, then passed up the golden opportunity to get that idiot Stephen out of there. I can't even watch the tv when he's on any more.

This 'Tom and Adam on the piss' montage makes me hate them both even more.

Ricky's involuntary head movements remind me of Mr. Mackay from Porridge.http://news.bbc.co.uk/olmedia/1965000/images/_1967033_mackay150.jpg

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.

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.

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.
― banal like a null (snoball), Wednesday, 23 May 2012 21:19 (eleven years ago) link
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.
― kinder, Wednesday, 23 May 2012 21:23 (eleven years ago) link
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.

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.
― Radical Jedward (snoball), Wednesday, 30 May 2012 20:43 (eleven years ago) link
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.

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.

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.

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?
