also if you're in shepherd's bush, the majority of the footfall is on the bit between the central line station and westfield, not the green (site of 1908 world cup football, alleged plague pit)

(although the bit by westfield might be private land, so you'd need permission)

as for the Bs, when have you ever seen a straight donut?

Whichever team seems to be doing really well on the show, that's the losing team.

Anyway, for all that the losing team captain was all "I'm clearly safe, I made the majority of the sales and got "well done" " smugness, I don't recall ever having a situation where she clearly brought in candidates that she'd quite like to get rid of, as opposed to 'least contributors' etc, to the extreme where AlSug refuses and brings everyone back in...

Everyone this year is useless. Most baffled by any love for Jackie, who is a cartoon version of a 'strong businesswoman' she read about once in Closer.

Most illuminating was just how selectively edited they were last night to make them look good. The sing-along to Summer Nights that was shown on You're Fired was absolutely horrible.

two weeks pass...

i could see the colourful art setting off the black boxes of the hi-fi stuff, i don't think that was a bad decision, other than they couldn't read the bloke's mind.

and there's nowt wrong with selling the gummy bears to the person who saw it first.

Yes.

The bloke seemed like a complete dick. All that 'innovation. provenance. whatever' stuff they were supposed to try and reflect in the art. What does that even mean? And then sounding off about his 'objectively' better sound system (wonder if he's on the Hoffman forum?).

"Does anyone have any direct experience of Glaswegians?", oh do fuck off.

This weeks' prize (OK last week now) was a "private cinema viewing"

Basically, a tent fastened onto a bandstand in a random park someplace, and the movie was Roger Corman's "Little Shop of Horrors" from 1961.

Basically, this movie was made as a bet, to film and produce a movie in one day. Jack Nicholson is in it. The budget is low, even by Corman standards (and he was notorious for low budget movies).

I wonder if the winning team got the message?

Basically....

It's also one of those films that have fallen into the public domain, so anyone can screen it without paying a penny for it.

Ward Fowler, Tuesday, 4 December 2018 12:42 (five years ago) link

Yup, got it from Poundland myself.

Mind you, twas a long time ago, a pound was a pound then..

Sabrina should win this if there's any justice in the world. My fear is she will crumble in the interviews next week in the presence of an angry Claude.

Grandpont Genie, Thursday, 6 December 2018 13:20 (five years ago) link

They're all unremittingly useless and awful this year (yeah, OK, every year). Still convinced Kayoade would have walked the old format.

ailsa, Thursday, 6 December 2018 13:30 (five years ago) link

i am convinced none of them have watched previous series - the Sex Sells thing has always been frowned upon by sugar / brady

koogs, Thursday, 6 December 2018 16:23 (five years ago) link

Remember the guy who couldn't stop mentioning that he'd been to Sandhurst? Or at least had been accepted to Sandhurst. Practically every idea he had was 'sex sells'. Even when he was on one of the two finalist's teams he said something like "let's go down a sexual route" regarding - coincidentally - a box of luxury chocolates.

Another year, another bunch of alpha dicks...

Finding it hard to even care. They've jumped straight to a mid-series task with this South African safari/wine tasting thing.

Rob Beckett's dad.

I think the foreign visit was first last year as well.

Karen sabotaging the PM's business plan for the finale in the opening episode was a bold step.

He lost it a bit there.
