Top Quotes:

I’ve definitely got the gift of the gab, I can persuade anyone to do anything.
Soon to be seen getting nobody to do anything without a row.


A self-proclaimed “maverick” who doesn’t like to follow the rules
Read: Cunt.


I came from a council estate… I have made myself into something good and I’m on my way to becoming something great.
Will be chippy to anybody who disagrees with her and who can also enunciate because they're POSH and LOOKING DOWN ON [HER]!


I love business more than sharks love blood…I’m ruthless in my pursuit of success.
Grossly misunderstanding the emotional capabilities of sharks.


I bring ‘class’ to everything and ensure nothing I do is half-standard or tacky.
Will have a massive blazing row with the council estate one at some point.


I am the epitome of luxury.
Yes, that's a double-barrelled first name. Fuck off, idiot.

Task 1 - "Lord Sugar kicks off the new series with a task like no other. Sixteen candidates are sent to South Africa to set up wine and safari tours."

That first task should be a belter.

Also looking forward to Sugar repeatedly putting his foot in it with the blind guy.

Ryan-Mark stands out early on as the obvious one to watch, but I'm keeping an eye on Thomas Skinner and "I don’t plan - I just do everything on impulse. When I plan, I always get it wrong"

They're not doing episodes on two days back to back to kick off the series this year though.

Sir Andy Mahowry

Apparently the winner has been leaked.

Ian

I'm sure that's happened before but I don't frequent the outlets that are liable to leak it and I'm not on the social media.

So the girls are selling a tour worth 250 rand per person for 2500 rand per person?! These poor fuckers are going to spend over £100 for a few mouthfuls of wine.

Browning
02-10-2019, 08:24 PM
Fuck me, they're both going to be a shambles.

Lottie seems like a total cunt. Good choice, Mahow.

600 Rand down from 2300? That's not going to cause a war when the group talk to each other.

Here are some facts about the wine cellar that we have no idea where it is.

How the fuck did they get 22.5% out of that?

You can bring 12 whole people into the shop? Fuck off.

In a restaurant a while ago we heard a couple tell the sommelier they were "in fact very educated in Chardonnay".

Not sure you're the go to on consumables snobbery, RL..

The daggers being eyed between the girls on the refunds comment was amazing

Maybe the only thing she's a snob about is wine..

Well the difference is I'd never announce to a restaurant that "I'm educated on the Madagascan varieties".

Sir Andy Mahowry
02-10-2019, 09:33 PM
Fucking Matt Edmondson. He's as funny as a burst bollock.

The interview thing he always does is fucking horrific.

Also, I don't know why they're making a big deal regarding whole 25/22.5% gift shop deal. They'd have made what, another 50p had they gotten the 25%?

If they'd have lost because of it sure it's huge but their sales were so shit it didn't matter.

Browning
02-10-2019, 09:49 PM
I thought Tom Allen was a bit shit as a host. Maybe he'll grow into it as the series moves on, but every time someone else spoke, the transition was very awkward.

"Yes... *awkward pause*.... very true..... *awkward pause*...."

I think you should, let them know they don't appreciate chocolate properly.

Knives.

There's more to being a snob than just being interested in and owning nice ones of something. I don't go round people's houses and refuse to eat what they've cooked because it was cut with a shit knife or something.

Ian
03-10-2019, 08:21 AM
That would be amazing though.

Went to play board games at friends house a few weeks ago, everyone knew it was a 6 hour monster and should eat first.

My slightly spectrummy mate was being a right grumpy cunt, then revealed he hadn't eaten lunch. When host friend kindly offered crisps, toast and a few other things he said "I dont consider that food, don't you have any VEGETABLES? maybe a CARROT?"

Great guy deep down but crikey, not his most socially aware moment.

This pitch. C'mon, girls.

Browning
09-10-2019, 08:13 PM
Just do it for £3 you twats. It's an ice lolly that's going to cost you fuck all to make.

Can't see anyway the PM doesn't go here. Yea, they didn't give them a full brief, but what he made was nothing close to the brief he was given.

Ian
09-10-2019, 09:01 PM
The whole "YOU DIDN'T TELL ME EXACTLY WHAT TO MAKE" thing was a nonsense argument. Dean was shit but the PM was the right choice to go.

Sir Andy Mahowry
09-10-2019, 10:10 PM
Watching now.

AMAZING bit of negotiation from the sub team leader of the guys.

I'd like 75 at £3.50
We could do 150 for £3.85
You want me to order double and pay more...

Sir Andy Mahowry
09-10-2019, 10:55 PM
Kenna was the right choice although Dean could have gone too.

15p for a bespoke PREMIUM product when you're getting £3.85 is mental.

A coconut milk base with a couple of fresh raspberries as the lolly and some glitter to finish would have been so much better.

Ian
10-10-2019, 08:42 AM
I'm not sure how they thought the glitter was all gonna stay on the outside and be visible.

He and Claude were great together.

Kenna also came across as a really likeable chap.

Browning
11-10-2019, 06:59 AM
Agreed, he felt a lot more natural this week.

11-10-2019, 09:24 AM
Kenna fucked himself the moment he went solo with his decisions thus he deserved to go too but none seem to cover themselves in glory.

Toys, eh? Hopefully Hyphen and Lottie the Lion both die in the same tragic stickebrick fatality.

Sir Andy Mahowry

Team Fabulous ffs.

16-10-2019, 08:09 PM
Of course Hyphen suggested Team Fabulous. Of course he did.

Unicorns is too over done. No retailer will buy it when they probably have 20 similar products from established companies.

This is shaping up to be the worst advert ever produced in Apprentice history.

Browning
16-10-2019, 08:18 PM
I will be shocked if this is anything but a shitty 0-0 draw.

Sir Andy Mahowry
16-10-2019, 08:21 PM

Fuck me, they're both so shit. If they sell anything I'm quitting my day job to sell shit toys.

Sir Andy Mahowry
16-10-2019, 08:28 PM
It's amazing how out of touch the people they get on this.

How can MARKETING EXPERTS be so shit?

Ian
16-10-2019, 08:29 PM
I love Thomas's bargaining strategy.

"I thought younger than 6-8"
"NAH MATE IT'S DEFO 6 AND ABOVE"

Good answer, Thomas, just tell them they're wrong.

Browning
16-10-2019, 08:30 PM
To be fair, he did say that's what he was going to do on the way in.

Sir Andy Mahowry
16-10-2019, 08:32 PM
This focus group is great.

Ian
16-10-2019, 08:34 PM
Those kid focus groups were incredible.

This pitches are absolutely not.

Browning
16-10-2019, 08:35 PM
He's pissing me off calling it a viral video when about 6 people have seen it.

Sir Andy Mahowry
16-10-2019, 08:36 PM
The general consensus? 1 person said its alright.

Sir Andy Mahowry
16-10-2019, 08:45 PM
Shaky voice woman won it.

Browning
16-10-2019, 08:46 PM
How does he know pitching is one of his skills when he's 12 years old and works in a shop?

Sir Andy Mahowry
16-10-2019, 08:46 PM
Thomas' reaction was amazing.

From pure joy to dejection.

Ian
16-10-2019, 08:49 PM
I'd take Thomas in just in the hope that he talks himself into trouble but I reckon objectively Riyonn probably ought to go.

Browning
16-10-2019, 08:52 PM
Lottie is an odd choice.

I've always thought that with these pitches you should be honest if you realise the product is shit and tell them how you're going to fix it. Standing there saying "this is gonna be the next big craze, best selling toy of 2019!" is bollocks when they can tell exactly how shite it is.

Sir Andy Mahowry
16-10-2019, 08:53 PM
Lottie is a twat but what was she meant to do? Had she said it was all great they'd have pulled her up on lying.

The focus group hated it because it was too young.

Sir Andy Mahowry
16-10-2019, 08:57 PM
No idea how Riyonn is still there.

Ian
16-10-2019, 09:01 PM
As you've both said, it was bizarre to take Lottie in there.

I don't think Solomon had enough of an impact to get booted and Riyonn was fucking garbage. Ergo, Riyonn has a better business plan.

That's nonsense. You're not obligated to disclose everything. All she has to do is focus on the positives. Instead of "we got mixed reviews", just say "we got some great reviews". It's a skill that you need if you're going to be selling and pitching.

SvN
17-10-2019, 10:57 AM
Anyway, Ryionn should've gone. He did the right thing in not taking in Tommy - even though the product was too young, it wasn't THAT bad, and he was the only one who actually did anything. The "viral video" was probably the worst thing ever done on the show, including pants man.

thommo
17-10-2019, 11:02 AM
Yeah that video was incredibly bad. The final screen which comprised of just a green background, the logo and the words "Featuring. Tommy the Turtle" was like something created in a primary school IT lesson. Lottie's explanation of the market research was similar to a previous candidate (although nowhere near as bad), when he just explained all of the negative feedback in the pitch.

Sir Andy Mahowry
17-10-2019, 11:07 AM

At which point Sugar would have been fuming as it was a lie.

Even her saying there were mixed reviews was a lie, the amazing focus group ripped it a new one.

It was 4-6 years too old but others could have pulled him up for that too.

I'd have taken him in just in the hope of him stitching himself up.

It wasn't a lie. They did get some positives. One of the girls said they liked the buttons, another said something about liking the positive messages. Obviously 90% of it was negative, but you focus on the 10% that wasn't. It's not a lie, it's being selective with what you say.

Browning
17-10-2019, 11:30 AM
These people aren’t idiots though. Anyone can say “we’ve had some positive reviews!” They’re still going to look at it and realise it’s shite.

She handles it badly, for sure, but I don’t think it would have helped them either way.

Ian
17-10-2019, 11:32 AM
Lottie simply wasn't going to get sacked on the basis of her performance in the task so there was no value in taking her in.

SvN
17-10-2019, 11:55 AM

100% agreed. They're not going to suddenly change their mind about the product. But she was there to talk about the focus group, and she did it badly. I just take objection with Mahow saying "What else could she do?!".

Sir Andy Mahowry
23-10-2019, 08:05 PM
Lottie talks such bullshit.

Ian
23-10-2019, 08:06 PM

Seethe-o-meter is close to breaking point.

Ian
23-10-2019, 08:24 PM
Tell you what, this is super efficient. They're having their cafe argument now. They should just tell Lord Sugar who they've decided to fire for him and get back to the house for a glass of vino.

Riyonn needs to go.

Ian
23-10-2019, 08:44 PM
That is a fisting.

Didn't Riyonn, as much as he's a fanny, sell best with Lottie?

Sir Andy Mahowry
23-10-2019, 08:45 PM
That is a fisting.

Didn't Riyonn, as much as he's a fanny, sell best with Lottie?

Probably but he was the driving force behind the crap white rocket, the burnt orange etc etc.

Lottie can at least fall back on the 'But I was offering shit up'. Riyonn has been shit every week too.

Marianne can go too, Sugar will hate that she turned down £1000 even though it didn't matter. Lubna was crap too.

Ian
23-10-2019, 08:47 PM
Riyonn was absolute turd last week. I reckon he takes Marianne and one of the two who sold nowt.

Sir Andy Mahowry
23-10-2019, 08:52 PM
Do a triple just for the hell of it :drool:

Lubna goes I think. Yeah the bike was shit and not what Tommy wanted at all but to sell nothing in such a massive task is unforgivable.

Ian
23-10-2019, 08:53 PM
What the fuck is this defence from Lubna?

I'm not the brightest, but you know, I'm true to myself.

Sir Andy Mahowry
23-10-2019, 08:56 PM
The BAME wont be happy.

He's knocking out the ethnics one after the next.

Ian
23-10-2019, 08:58 PM
No idea why he did that at the end but still: Next week is the best task. :cool:

Sir Andy Mahowry
23-10-2019, 08:58 PM
Buying task :cool:

Ian
24-10-2019, 06:48 AM
Interviews > Buying task > ... are there any other regulars or semi regulars?

The final is, of course, consistently the worst episode these days for a number of reasons.

Lubna was pretty funny on You're Fired last night. "I'm so glad Lord Sugar put me.out of my misery, I couldn't stand another few weeks of looking like a twat on TV"

Tom Allen also decent again which makes that really awkward first episode even weirder.

Sir Andy Mahowry
30-10-2019, 08:27 PM
Also:

Fellow contestant, Lewis Ellis, replied to her comments admitting to "struggling" to know the wartime dates.

His Tweet, which has since been deleted, said: "We did struggle to recall the exact dates but I do recall WWII involved aggressive foreign policy by the Nazi party and an unprovoked attack … why does that sound familiar."

Lottie's father is Belgian and once fought for German armed forces, she said.

:harold:

Hold up, did she just offer more than he asked for? Did I miss something?


Claude's face then.

it's been a good episode for that from him and Karren.

Yevrah
30-10-2019, 09:25 PM
I haven't watched this for years, but I don't know why they bother claiming it has anything to do with business any more.

The double barrelled wanker is actually alright it seems.

Browning
30-10-2019, 09:26 PM
He said it would be £10 to replace, but then said it was used on the boat race winner and was special.... I'd still have started at £10, or asked him where he would go to replace it.

Sir Andy Mahowry
30-10-2019, 09:29 PM
Is there only one book store in the whole of Oxford and Cambridge?

Browning
30-10-2019, 09:29 PM
Thomas has donned Lottie there. Lost in all the bollocks was her trying to offer £68 when they'd just said £60....

Yevrah
30-10-2019, 09:30 PM

Living in Oxford it's interesting watching Karren. She doesn't have a clue what she's talking about for the most part.

There's one renowned rare books store in Oxford, but a fuck load of others.

Claude again. :D

Yevrah
30-10-2019, 09:33 PM
And you can see she's done about as much research as Alan Hansen for a non-England World Cup game.

You'd be able to get a book fitting that criteria in a few places.

Sir Andy Mahowry
30-10-2019, 09:36 PM
It has to be pre WW2, not from the 19th century.

Riyonn has to go.

Ian
30-10-2019, 09:51 PM
Riyonn has been shite from top to bottom. Get rid.

Sadly Hyphen is probably still safe.

Sir Andy Mahowry
30-10-2019, 09:53 PM
Riyonn lolling that Toad can't possibly be gin (or vodka) when the art guy told them in the car at the start was gold, especially as they're all claiming they can't remember it now.

Ian
30-10-2019, 09:59 PM
Design a rollercoaster is the next task? YES. I am 100% in.

Sir Andy Mahowry

Shiiiiiiiiiiiiii.

Ian
30-10-2019, 10:12 PM
One of them's bound to suggest a name like "Crash!" or "Pile Up" or "Heap of Broken Limbs" or something.

Sir Andy Mahowry

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euthanasia_Coaster

They should commission that.

Sir Andy Mahowry
30-10-2019, 10:21 PM
Riyonn just admitted that they called up pretty much every bakery in Oxford trying to find Toad.

Surely after 2 or 3 had no idea that they should have twigged that it isn't bread.

Ian
06-11-2019, 08:51 PM
Remembering that this about rollercoasters had me try and fail to find the photo of Lofty. Didn't it used to come up with the right Google image search? Probably went down with the old board I guess.

Browning

I've definitely done a backwards drop on a coaster before... Claude was talking shite there.

Ian
06-11-2019, 09:19 PM
Karren and Claude both speaking some amount of shite in this one so far to be fair.

"Oh they just want it to be the fastest and have the most loops." Yes, Karren, people like rollercoasters that do more things, faster things, bigger things.

Sir Andy Mahowry
06-11-2019, 09:24 PM
As a concept I like 'INSOMNIA' better as I think it's a really good idea about changing from dreams to nightmares.

Getting on a spaceship to travel round the world in order to restore the gravitational force (it would spin back time you mongs, Superman showed us this) is horseshit.

The actual rollercoaster view goes to THE FINAL LOOP though.

Ian
06-11-2019, 09:37 PM
The concept of Insomnia is fine but the way they've presented it is awful.

Ian
06-11-2019, 09:43 PM
As if that one won.

Sir Andy Mahowry
06-11-2019, 09:44 PM
Thomas gone unless his business plan (PILLOWS, GUVNAR) is brilliant.

Sir Andy Mahowry
06-11-2019, 09:45 PM
As if that one won.

Who wants to deal with a coaster with 15 loops that goes 125mph in 1.25 seconds?

It would be constantly breaking.

Sir Andy Mahowry
06-11-2019, 09:51 PM
I'm thinking double.

Lottie and Scarlett.

Ian
06-11-2019, 09:53 PM
Dean has contributed nothing throughout and I think that while Lottie is a turbocunt she's not to blame for this.

Sir Andy Mahowry

She's had a stroke there.

"no, no, no. My aim is to NOT get on with everybody"

Sir Andy Mahowry

SvN
21-11-2019, 09:16 AM
Ryan-Mark was hopeless, but hilarious. I'll miss him from the show, but it was absolutely the right call to get rid. The fact that he tried to bring in Pamela - who's quick thinking was the only reason they didn't get another £400 of fines - shows how clueless he is.

Ian
21-11-2019, 09:35 AM
It has to be the multi next week then.

Two weeks before interviews with three more to get rid of, no?

Marianne - Flirts with competence but can't seem to quite get it right a lot of the time. Probably not long for this series.
Dean - Absolutely useless and should go soon.
Lewis - Has seemed either useless or edited out of relevance without getting any real stick so I assume he's got a good business plan.
Carina - A bit rubbish? I think?
Thomas - Entertaining and they'll definitely want him in the interviews even if Sugar has no intention of him winning.
Lottie - A psychopath who will clearly have a blazing row with somebody in the interviews so again, probably safe for now.
Pamela - Seems level-headed without having done anything that good for the most part so again, probably has a good business plan.
Scarlett - I just had to Google her to remind myself who she was. Probably in the Lewis / Carina mold.

I'm going for Dean, Marianne and Carina to go in the next two weeks.

SvN
21-11-2019, 09:38 AM
Dean has looked out of his depth every week. The win when he was PM was in spite of him, rather than because of him.

Ian
21-11-2019, 09:44 AM
He is absolutely hopeless and I legitimately don't think they've shown us him doing a single good thing.

Was it his week as PM when he lived exclusively in Lewis' arsehole?
