Reply to: Apprentice candidate bottled it

What if CUK guys would be in Apprentice and face "boardroom"

I'd LOVE to. I'd tell Sir Alan:

"Sir Alan, we're members of the same synagogue, and my income is already in excess of the six-figures that you're offering so - with respect - mazel tov!".

[Menelaus]

The biggest giggle was when one of the girls held up a duster and said "what's this?".

Priceless.

Key moments included:

1. The token follower of Islam muttering, sotto voce, that for cleaning tasks he had a wife who did those

2. The women bitching and moaning with each other - one wonders, how much bitching and moaning would've been done if they'd won?

3. The simple lack of getting out and doing stuff - strategy = bollocks if there's no ability or desire to get out there and DO STUFF!

4. SA-trained/educated woman (Mona?) as PM deciding that she wanted to stab the "Debra" bint that she'd brought into the Boardroom with her

5. The number of non-job holders there - I mean, trainee stockbroker? If you're a trainee don't take time off to have your ego crushed on the BBC - train, learn and do try to desist from being such a twat.

It reminded me last night of bob a job week, rather than entrepreneurialism in action. Next week packing bags at Sainsburys and cake baking

It was hillarious to see guys washing new BMWs and left doors open....

Sir Alan definetly sacked the right one last night. Claimed to be god's gift to business : but did not have a clue.

Personally I would have taken a bucket/sponge and gone knocking door to door.

How very kinky of you, BP. Wouldn't have thought Suralan would have approved though.

[sasguru]

Apprentice is a freak show. Suralan's lines are obviously scripted and the candidates are chosen for entertainment value, not ability. The women were the usual back-stabbing talentless bunch and the boys (I use the term deliberately) looked like a bunch of monkeys gibbering around the hoses when they were washing cars.

[Liability]

the one that got sacked had to be the most ugliest woman Ive seen!

What a bunch of talenless idiots!

I mean this task was simple yet none of them actually had any kind of business sense! I am sure they get chosen for all talk and very little substance.

Door to door would have been a risk but could have paid off - but the women messed up monumentally! I mean none of them knew how to even wash bloody cars!! The streaks, ignore the windows and door sides, etc I mean how bloody hard is it?!! They could have cleaned up and taken the other 10 cars if someone actually had the responsibility of checking the cleaning and quality of it!

[Menelaus]

I'm afraid that the one who got sacked last night (in fact, most of last nights female batch) looked like they couldn't organise a urine-up in a brewery.

The one who got sacked specifically looked like she'd not smiled any time in the last hundred years or so ...

Also: how many "non-jobs" were there in the group? A "strategist" - I mean, FFS - WTF is a strategist?

Also(2): having 15 people sitting around thinking up a name for a group? You've got to be kidding, and not in a good way.

Also(3): ugliest-woman-in-NATO leaving the place last night "I think Sir Alan will see a difference in 10 years time" - huh? 10 years = too long.

[Sockpuppet]

And was rightly savaged on 'You're fired!' for stopping someone else from being an apprentice.

Like they don't have a backup

They could have fielded another person if they wanted.

[moorfield]

The night before the competition started, "the candidate realised that, 'this is it. I'm away from my family and kids,' and I think the reality hit home, " and he decided to bail out.

Or maybe he just got another gig on circa £500/day.

[MrMark]

I reckon Nick (Sir Alun's sidekick) ate him.
