Airs on: October 5th

The candidates are all here: http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/profiles/N8TcrLGxrf6dYzLZP1zhQj/meet-the-candidates

James White's forehead is looking promising and Danny Grant with his weird hairline strike me as the potential Vincent-esque hero of the series.

Also apparently some of them got to fucking during the filming.

They're starting off by making 'gourmet' burgers. Can't wait. :drool:

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

I was going to moan at you to make this tomorrow, so well in.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Danny will be the mong.

[Reg]

It's been wearing on me the last couple of seasons, partly because the tasks are getting really stale. There are a couple in that photo who don't look like absolute dickheads, so that's good.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

I’ve been raised not to be a pushover - in the words of Destiny’s Child, I’m an independent woman.
Bushra Shaikh

I’m usually the smartest person in any room and I’ll make sure people know that.
Ross Fretten

Women are like tea bags – you don’t know how strong they are until you put them in hot water.
Sarah Lynn

I fly aeroplanes, scuba dive, jump off cliffs, paraglide; I’m a blogger and a mother - as well as running my wedding planning business. A lot of people call me superwoman.
Siobhan Smith

Pick of the bunch by far:

I am like a Chinese dish – potent, deliciously driven, full of flavour and I sure do sizzle.
Sajan Shah

[Giggles]

Nothing wildly tidy like that dumb one last year.

[Shindig]

I'd take Bushra home to annoy my racist dad.

[wullie]

My early pick is like last year, the simpering toff looking one

https://ichef.bbci.co.uk/images/ic/480xn/p05g6p4f.jpg

Doing his bit for European relations a little too much though - 'Sometimes to get to the top, you have to grease the pole behind you'

[Ian]

Soon, chaps.

[Giggles]

When is kickoff? I'd seen this bumped and thought I was missing the first one.

[John]

Has anyone who wasn't a sneering shit ever appeared on this? It should have been shut down as a public menace a decade ago for giving us Katie Hopkins.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Now on BBC One.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Going to need subtitles from Michaela, christ.

[Magic]

Project engineer? :harold:

I thought I was clutching...

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

There's no point going to sell the Turkey burgers at lunch? Let's go at 3?

Yeah because there's HIGH DEMAND at 3.

[wullie]

These are premium burgers, you look like premium guys

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

£9? :harold:

£7.95 wont see any takers either ffs.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

That's amazingly cut.

Two dickheads in a hut shouting at no-one to sell some burgers.

[wullie]

They normally wait a few weeks before illegally lying about food content, they're not fucking about this year.

[Byron]

I'd definitely buy a pack of burgers with the word organic crossed out.

[wullie]

These meat food product burgers are ONE OFF you should buy ONE OFF them you'll ONE OFF like them ONE OFF

[Browning]

That pitch in the pub was a shambles too.

I already want both teams to fail.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

A one off fail?

[Browning]

Scaring people on the street :D

[Lewis]

I've never watched this properly before, but does it make sense to just keep your head down for a few weeks and let the divs talk themselves to death?

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

A manic woman in the street shouting 'come here you' at me with some burgers in her hand is my dream.

[ScousePig]

I've never watched this properly before, but does it make sense to just keep your head down for a few weeks and let the divs talk themselves to death?

There's NO HIDING PLACE.

[Vim]

Silicon chicken breasts :harold:

[Browning]

A loss. :D

Fuck that reward too. Cooking meat all day and have to go eat veggie shit.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Tommy Banks? :cool:

Geezer is amazing.

[wullie]

Some absolutely mad hairlines going on for team Vitalite.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

I sold two!
I sold three!

Brilliant, lads.

[Magic]

Jesus just catching the end of this shit. It's just cunts talking over each other. Gross.

[Giggles]

Where's Wally needs to be gone.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

He looks like he wants to be a hipster but wants to do it slowly.

Round glasses first and in six months he'll be opening a pop tarts shop.

[Vim]

He's pulled out the "with regret" on the first task? Old Sugar's getting soft.

[Ian]

Danny's hairline was a sight to behold and he had the potential to be a Vincent-like character. The first time I've ever cared at all about the week one firing, I think.


I've never watched this properly before, but does it make sense to just keep your head down for a few weeks and let the divs talk themselves to death?

Yeah you'll get a couple of weeks out the way if you're doing that.

[Lewis]

Plus has anyone ever thought that 'Lord Sugar' would appreciate somebody just getting on with the job until the opportunity came to show your worth?

[Shindig]

Pffft. They're not after business. They've got that. They want TV celebrity stakes. Like that Katie Hopkins or ... erm...

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

http://www.express.co.uk/showbiz/tv-radio/865154/The-Apprentice-Anisa-Topan-cheated-on-fianc-with-Andrew-Brady-Lord-Alan-Sugar-BBC

Classy lady.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Wanting to put the Asian guy on the numbers :harold:

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Elizabeth might be the most infuriating person ever. I'd want to strangle her.

The Boys' room colours :lol:

[Browning]

That task seemed odd. I missed the start, but were there actually any rules? How do you "make a profit" on that? Just by not spending the budget?

[wullie]

The Asian fella had a great episode, from his skimpy pants to his top flight breaking and his not being able to count.

[Weaver]

Should we theme it around a celebrity? Elton John? Tim Henman?

[wullie]

My favourite part was the fella charming the woman into dropping the price of the suitcases after the PM's tactic of 'fucking hell these are shit you ripoff twats, 50p the lot yeah?' surprisingly didn't work.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

That was one of the great negotiations to take place on the show. I want him to try that tactic again.

[Luke Emia]

I haven't seen anyone vaguely good so far. The lads are fucking useless and that weird woman who was measuring stuff is basically a caricature of some retard I used to work with.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Michaela (the Bolton lass with Brian Potter glasses) has looked good. Two good negotiations in the first two weeks as well.

The rest have been shit though.

[Lofty]

Charles is going to be the mega twat.

[Ian]

People rarely actually look good in the first few weeks because they're trying to cut too many people into the show. They'll highlight a couple of good ones and then whichever shiters are going to be in the boardroom. There was a guy who popped up in episode two who I'm sure I hadn't seen at all in week 1.

I did enjoy Ross trying to open up with "I'd be a great sub-team leader..." and getting swamped by nominations for PM.

[Ian]

God I hate Elizabeth.

[Browning]

Didn't they already record the sounds to say it was Jeffrii? I really hope they've ballsed that up.

Should have posted it last week but I told people that he would move Michaela and make her PM. She was the one who stood out and it's exactly what he did with Leah the year she won. Nailed on winner.

Edit- Yep :D

Fucking hell.

[Ian]

Hah, oh my that's wonderful.

[Ian]

Wait, you can pick this toy up and put it down? I'll take all of them.

[Ian]

Harrison is thick as shit.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Watching now, the over 60s are MASSIVE techies, easy win.

[Browning]

Was that Harrison singing at the end? Fire him for that alone.

[Ian]

It looks like they somehow want but don't have a singer next week and, yeah, Harrison ends up singing. Looks like a winner.

[Giggles]

Finding it very hard to get into it this year so halfway through I just let the Mrs put on Gogglebox.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

God I hate Elizabeth.
Indeed, she's awful.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

About a minute in and Elizabeth has already pissed me off again.

[Ian]

About a minute in and Elizabeth has already pissed me off again.

She was getting a bit frisky about the boys there. :sick:

Love an unwilling PM.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

And a bit of casual sexism.

Getting Harrison to sing :sick:

[Ian]

"Sushi is a thing."

Well, tell him he's lying.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

You'd think that after so many years someone might just think that knowing the exact costs would be kind of important.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Fucking hell.

Ross is an absolute mess.

[Ian]

Getting Harrison to sing :sick:

And of the entertainment the client said "We don't want it to be awkward." :drool:

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

They don't want a singer
They want a singer?

[Ian]

I missed something there. What was that row about?

EDIT: The one in the boys meeting, I mean.

[Browning]

This might be the most cringe episode yet.

[Ian]

Having to buy booze at Wembley concession prices. :face:

[Luke Emia]

The men are absolutely fucking useless this year.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

One song?

So that's like 4 minutes or so of entertainment?

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

How?

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Why wasn't that a double?

Ugh, at least another week of Elizabeth.

[Ian]

I was fucking certain Joanna was going as well there.

[Ian]

Arguing in the cab on the WAY TO THE TASK. Excellent stuff, ladies.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

I fucking love an item hunt task.

[Ian]

I fucking love an item hunt task.

It might be my favourite episode after the interviews.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Analytical skills?

Ross has no skills.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

A Turkish supermarket for Jewish pastries?

Brilliant, there's your fucking analytical skills.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Calling a Jewish bookstore and not knowing that Alan was a yid.

Lol.

[Ian]

"A supermarket isn't going to be specialist enough."

What, like the one you just took them into, Charles, with your stupid specs?

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

I didn't realise that those were rugelach.

They're fucking delicious.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

He should have told Elizabeth that the price has gone back up to £30.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

I was so hoping that they got to the Amstrad before the other team.

Some proper sneaky shit was missed out on.

[Byron]

Elizabeth needs to get caught under a train asap.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

That Jew just fleeced the fuck out of them.

Should have just gone to the Spurs megastore and got one for £15.

[Ian]

The price of that scarf. :D


Elizabeth needs to get caught under a train asap.

I was about to ask you who we're booting into the thresher first this year. I've got a tie between Elizabeth and Bushra.

[Byron]

I'm going with Elizabeth on the basis that she's got a fucking annoying voice and is a right munter. Bushra is at least worth a shag.

[Ian]

Didn't expect to hear "cut your willy off" on this show.

[wullie]

'I'm celebrating my 70th birthday this year, get me something from 1947'

'Was Lord Sugar maybe born in 1947?'

These people have their own businesses. People who rely on them for their livelihoods.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Didn't expect to hear "cut your willy off" on this show.

Nope which made it so great.

Even Alan looks tired of Elizabeth.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Sajan and his 'Let's just go outside in' strategy or Harrison to go.

Both are shit and both fucked up massively.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Ross could go too.

Alan seems to, rightfully, fucking hate him.

Do a triple you nonce :nodd:

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Ross is really trying to talk his way into getting fired.

What a cunt.

[Ian]

Saj has had a decent moment or two. Ross has also done the square root of fuck-all in this and Harrison isn't much better.

A tour of Bruges next week? This could be good. Trips abroad are always good.

[Browning]

Did he say "There's another 5 tasks to go"? That can't be right with 13 left.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Did he say "There's another 5 tasks to go"? That can't be right with 13 left.

It is.

5 tasks, then interview week and then the final.

Usually 5 in the interviews so 8 to get booted in 5 tasks.

[SvN]

That was a great episode, best of the series. That task is always a favourite.

I spent the entire episode questioning why these morons weren't just going to Sports Direct for a scarf?! I fucking loved that Jew asking for £500 for that scarf. You can imagine what the phone call between him and his mate beforehand was like.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

I think they must be banned from big shops or something.

I remember last year they needed a kilo of mussels (neither team got them) and you can easily pick them up from ANY SUPERMARKET for £3.50 tops.

[SvN]

Good point, it might be a requirement that they stick to independent shops. I wish they'd explain these rules, as it would answer a lot of questions.

When I first started watching I wondered why they didn't all split up in tasks like this, but now I realise they must clearly all have to stay as 2 teams no matter what. Yet that has never once been mentioned by anyone.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Guessing they also can't use the internet on their phones as well as the navigation which is a bit stupid.

Surely you should be using all available resources to succeed.

[Ian]

I don't think it's ever mentioned that they can't just Google stuff either, which is a weird exclusion. Probably because you'd go "How the fuck does that prepare you for real business?" but obviously the answer is because telly.

[SvN]

Yeah, the no-internet rule has never been more obvious than in this task. I can perhaps understand why it might've been a good idea in 2005 to level the playing field, but in this day and age, surely it's time for a rule change.

Another one that was clear in this task is that they can't ask prices over the phone, which is why they sometimes end up making pointless journeys.

Yeah, I doubt they'd have turned up to see 'The Jew' and his £500 scarf.

[Weaver]

On in two on the Beeb, in case anyone’s forgot.

This week: Bruges.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Brendan Gleeson to turn up and uppercut Elizabeth :yn:

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Charles :D

Is that 3 or 4 weeks that he's been shot down as PM now?

[Ian]

At least two, maybe more.

If only they'd know he could guess exact walking distances using a map and a biro.

[Browning]

The complaints they’re going to get when they know no facts :drool:

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

A professional tour guide is what they described Anisa as.

[Byron]

Good job selling a Segway tour that involves very little actual Segways.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Bushra just oozes charisma.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Charles should get into cartography.

[Browning]

This is painful to watch. I hope these people were compensated for enduring this.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Obviously this blue part here is the land.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Clearly, not lost at all that's what they wanted to do.

[Ian]

"We weren't lost, I just didn't know exactly where we were."

Right, mate.

[Byron]

Mrs. Byron burst out laughing when she heard that.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Oh look, 5 minutes of segways on the segway tours.

[John]

How did they handle the segue into walking?

[Browning]

Claude on the Segway is the best apprentice moment ever.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Professionally trained tour guides here.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

It's hard to imagine that anyone on either tour wouldn't ask for their money back.

£6 keyrings, lol. They're probably £4 in the ferry shop.

[Browning]

Double firing for sure.

[Browning]

€10 commission, fucking hell.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

How did both teams get away with such low refunds?

Pissing hell.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Charles, Andrew, Sarah-Jane and Anisa.

2 of them to go.

[Browning]

Agreed. Hopefully not Sarah-Jane. The other three in a triple is fine.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Agreed. Hopefully not Sarah-Jane. The other three in a triple is fine.

Yeah, I'd like Sarah-Jane to stay and I think she should be fine.

I'd imagine Charles and Andrew to walk.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

I think he might even take Andrew out early (before Sarah-Jane brings any back), he was fucking terrible.

Edit: You fucking woman, Alan.

[Lofty]

Charles will survive but be given PM next week.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Shambles.

[Ian]

What the fuck was that?

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

How the fuck did Charles and Andrew survive?

Charles gets them lost and Andrew promises them a trained tour guide and a beer jolly.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Nish on You're Fired :cool:

[Browning]

So we are down to 7 to get booted in 4 tasks? Meaning we only have 1 more single firing, unless there's a triple in there.

[Reg]

I can't believe the firings are based on anything other than entertainment value now.

[Browning]

I don't even see that. Charles is probably the most boring candidate of the year, aside from that Lawyer bloke that went last week.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Still seething that Andrew and Charles didn't go.

Sarah-Jane was the hottest there too :(

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Worst car colours ever.

Edit: Charles not putting himself forward? Coward.

[Browning]

"I like cars...."

Great credentials.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Elizabeth and humour don't go hand in hand.

[Browning]

Damn those rules and regulations of the road stopping you using the word "fast" in a car advert.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

A Norman village absolutely SCREAMS car to me.

[Browning]

Do not film your advert there. If they do there needs to be a triple firing.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Medal leeval?

[Browning]

Fucking hell, Harrison questioning if they had cars in Medieval times.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

They've gone medieval. They didn't even have cars then, did they?

Amazing.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

The all new Ford Expando, for when you've got loads of kids and chickens in medieval times.

[Browning]

He remembered something he read 30 seconds ago! Success!

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

He remembered something he read 30 seconds ago! Success!

Tbf that's damn long on an underground escalator.

I'm surprised anyone even looked at the adverts.

[Browning]

I tend to look at them when I'm on the underground. I don't take much in, but if every advert was the same one I probably would know the name of the thing when I got to the top.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Anisa :D

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Agree with the decision but Anisa is lucky.

James, Bushra and Elizabeth to get the chop.

[Browning]

Elizabeth won't go. She's the most entertaining one for better or worse, and she's the only one who tried to do anything on this.

James and one other to go. She'll escape despite being bought back in.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Believe the system, Browning.

She's fucking off.

[Browning]

Yea, she's fucked, but James has to go here too.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

I'm stunned that anyone is able to get a word in with Elizabeth and Joanna.

Do the triple (quad if you're a fucking man) you bastard.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Oh ffs.

I blame you, Browning.

You didn't believe.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

WHAT THE FUCK?

He could have had the whole fucking team they were that shit and he takes out ONE?

Fucking cock.

[Lofty]

Full on blue balled.

[wullie]

The best part was in the pitch where Bushra realised she didn't have anyone to her left to pass the question over to.

[Ian]

The best part was in the pitch where Bushra realised she didn't have anyone to her left to pass the question over to.

Even by the standards of the Apprentice that was a hefty boot she took to knock her under the bus.

I won't say Sugar bottled this tonight. I think it's more like he's forcing himself to have a really slow, disciplined wank and he's suddenly going to bin off a stack of these cunts next week or the week after and he's trying to prolong the pleasure.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Charles back in the running and actually winning PM.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Making Andrew his 2nd in command :D

Let's get pissed lads.

[Ian]

"Pawdicure"? Blueberry facial for dogs? Fuck off.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

I would not be able to hide my contempt and everyone and everything.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

They're hiring people to clean dog shit? Tell the fucking owners to do it themselves.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Andrew countering the team's offer for a higher one is great.

[Ian]

What the fuck was Andrew doing there, going back up with the negotiation?

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

£250 to £150?

Why are these people so shit at bartering?

Jesus Bushra is shit.

[Ian]

There are about four who could do with getting sacked here.

[Weaver]

£250 to £150?

Why are these people so shit at bartering?

Jesus Bushra is shit.

They’ve never had to play CM back in the day, where adding an extra £1k on to the bid was EVERYTHING.

[Ian]

Bird poo woman has just fucked them without lube.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

I'd let her do the same to me tbh.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Not sure what was worse there. Anisa or the SIX fucking dogs.

[Ian]

"Come to me, turds!"

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

lol.

Charles has to be one (of hopefully many) to leave.

He's been poor in the boardroom with the 'I assisted them' bullshit and was walked over by his sub team.

Really don't want Jade or Michaela to go.

Charles and Anisa, let's do it.

[Browning]

Even though they still would have won, they should have been fined something for charging everyone a different price and having to refund half of them.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Fire all 3 please you fucking bell piece.

[Browning]

Yep, these are the 3 I thought would go. Let's have a treble.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Clearly Anisa and Andrew's affair came earlier in the process.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

And there's the hattrick :cool:

[Ian]

Fucking finally. Get Andrew and Charles into the sea.

[Reg]

Who are these people paying 120 quid for dog crap to be cleared from their garden?

[Browning]

'Taste of *insert country*' doesn't sound gourmet, it sounds like a limited edition burger at McDonalds.

Edit- Can they fire Joanna mid-task?

[Ian]

They should have had a knight in armour murdering some brown people on the label for that proper crusader feel.

[Ian]

I think we've got room for one more double before the interviews (I'm assuming those are the penultimate.) Tonight should be the night.

[Browning]

I can't think of a more cringe moment than this pitch.

[wullie]

Elizabeth's winning this, the only explanation for her still being around is that despite herself she's got an absolutely magic business proposal.

[Ian]

I reckon he's only not sacked another because he was sick of the sound of Elizabeth's voice.

EDIT: Claudine Collins on You're Fired. :drool: That's not shameful lustage, right?

[Reg]

I can't believe Elizabeth is a real person. She's a living cartoon.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Gourmet crusaders? Fucking hell.

That's almost as bad as the Empire gin, actually probably worse.

Edit: Joanna needs a bullet.

Edit: The cringe factor from Bushra, James and Elizabeth :D Fucking hell.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Stunned that Elizabeth escaped yet again.

Good to see Bushra go though, she was almost as irritating as Joanna and Elizabeth.

She's such a cunt.

[SvN]

Bushra was living on another planet. Suggesting she was thrown under the bus by Sarah because she was her biggest threat :D

She really did fuck all, and had the audacity to try and claim ideas were hers. I have no idea how she lasted this far.

[wullie]

Her Wembley presentation was hall of fame stuff. Did you guys know that the World Cup was made here by Geoff Hurst in 1066?

[Jimmy Floyd]

Is Claude still doing the business plan interviews on this? I only tune in once a series for him.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Bushra was living on another planet. Suggesting she was thrown under the bus by Sarah because she was her biggest threat :D

She really did fuck all, and had the audacity to try and claim ideas were hers. I have no idea how she lasted this far.

It was amazing when she said an idea was hers and then Karen said who actually did it yet Bushra was still trying to argue it was hers.

[Ian]

Is Claude still doing the business plan interviews on this? I only tune in once a series for him.

I think he did them last year even though he's on it weekly now.

Interviews are comfortably the best episode every year.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Taken a while for the old 'Pass the PM role onto the last one who speaks' game, good to see it back.

[Ian]

"So Jade if you could just get under this bus that'd be great."

[Ian]

"Post apocalyptic regal rock 'n' roll"?

Get in the sea.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

I think my balls would shrink back up if Elizabeth tried to measure me.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

15%?
Nope, 10
Yes please.

A real push Jade.

Harrison being fond of Gingers has put him up in my book, hero.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Pulling out some David Brent poses there.

[Browning]

I really don't want Jade to go, but I feel like she might.

Hope her team wins because I couldn't give a toss if any of those 4 get chucked out.

[Ian]

I think my balls would shrink back up if Elizabeth tried to measure me.

Mine did anyway, just to be safe.

Also: Wrong brand name, Jade? Uh oh. That's "fired if you lose" territory.

[Giggles]

I was expecting interviews :(

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Nice of them to take it into space.

[Ian]

Couple of weeks 'til that, yet.

It'll be worth it though. Always is.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Jade is fucked if they lose.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Harrison has summed them up well tbh.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Christ, what a stuffing Jade just took.

Not sure why they were moaning about the 2016 award winner tagline though.

Edit: Went well though.

[Browning]

Oh dear God, he's going on the catwalk too?

They're fucked unless Harrison sings during the other team's catwalk.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Why would you give Elizabeth the director gig? Fucking hell, Joanna should go just for that.

[Ian]

I think we need a double if next week is the interviews.

[Browning]

RIP Jade. :(

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

That was painful.

[Browning]

Michaela.... fucking hell.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Michaela might be too Northern to win it.

[Giggles]

The blonde is fairly tidy.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

The blonde is fairly tidy.

:nodd:

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Noooooo, Jade :(

[Browning]

Indeed, but she's about to be fired here.

That said, she might sneak through on the basis Harrison did fuck all.

[Ian]

Who cares about Jade. Get her fired.

We'll always have Karren.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Well I can get behind Sarah too tbh and even Michaela in a shameful way.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

:drool:

Please don't be a double.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Fucking prick.

The one week where I didn't want a multiple.

[Browning]

Sarah better not win this. She's chucked Jade right under the bus with all of that.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Claude is going to shit on Elizabeth from a great height next week.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Angela Scanlon on You're Fired :drool:

[Ian]

I assume you guys just fancy Jade and not that you actually like her in this?

[Giggles]

I assume you guys just fancy Jade and not that you actually like her in this?

It's why I wanted her to win about 3 minutes into watching tonight.

[ScousePig]

I never even thought of Jade as being fit. Sarah on the other hand...

[Giggles]

I never even thought of Jade as being fit. Sarah on the other hand...

Is she the one with the Connor McGregor glasses?

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Is she the one with the Connor McGregor glasses?

That's Michaela and I see them more as Peter Kay/Brian Potter glasses from Phoenix Nights, especially as she's from Bolton.

[Ian]

Nah, that's however she's spelling Michaela. Sarah's the slightly pointy-faced one.

[Browning]

I assume you guys just fancy Jade and not that you actually like her in this?

Yea, but I also think Sarah was a right dick in this episode, backing out of every decision to ensure she could throw Jade under the bus in the board room by screaming about how easy the decisions were. Hope she’s humiliated next week.

[Ian]

What did she swerve other than an argument about high end or low end?

Jade was dreadful and other two successes on the task one was in spite of her.

She also has the attitude of an infant, though Joanna is lucky her team didn't go on that particular front.

[SvN]

Yep, this week put me right off Sarah. I liked her before this week, but she really did everything she could to avoid any responsibility in this one.

Michaela is getting too big for her boots as well. I thought her and Sarah were by far the best candidates up until a few weeks ago, but I'm somehow finding myself rooting for fucking Liz.

Harrison was tragic. He seemed gobsmacked that Sugar and Brady thought he didn't do much, and just kept going on about how he's been instrumental in every task. I thought Jade's comment about his only job being to put the chairs out was brilliant.

[Reg]

Sarah was sneakily undermining the others in the boardroom too. I'd much rather something honestly and openly mocking like Jade's chair comment. Sarah also seemed like a complete robot at one point with her "I'm happy to take that on board".

Gets on my nerves how Elizabeth is a total nightmare to everyone and then in the boardroom flutters her eyelashes at Alan. She might as well be kissing his feet the way she speaks to him.

Interviews looked good in the preview. James would be my guess to win.

[SvN]

I can only assume that Joanna has a brilliant business plan, given the amount of second chances Sugar has given her. I reckon she'll win.

[Ian]

I reckon her and Elizabeth are both still in so they can get torn inside-out in the boardroom.

[Browning]

The big one was ducking out of going to meet the designers, even though negotiating those types of deals are what she does for a living. She also ducked the PM job very quickly. To be honest I'm not really sure Jade would have been any worse off if she was completely alone.

She then turned it all on Jade in the board room and made it look like she had got simple decisions wrong. Granted, Jade made some bad calls, but at least she did something.

[Ian]

Good call on not doing the negotiation about the commission, etc., I'd forgotten that.

[SvN]

I can only imagine that everyone was so scared of fucking up so close to the end, they just decided it was safer to do nothing.
