I haven't followed this series, possibly because I missed the first episode and possibly because I'm a little bored with it. I might watch the final assuming it hasn't finished already.
I did watch part of the episode where a woman was buying clothes and one of the apprentices was saying the dress looked better on her than anyone that had tried it on that day. She almost instantly said she would buy it and ordered other stuff totalling £300 or so. He and others cheered when she left. My heart sank for so many reasons and I switched it off.

Yes but you say that because you know you'd be out the first week. That's if you didn't get lost on the way.Originally posted by sasguru View PostThe problem with Apprentice is that it must give a huge number of talentless wannabes the idea that "bizness" is conducted in that fashion.
I think a liking for the program is positively correlated with a lack of success in real life.
I think Jamie looks quite good for a possible winner, not so back-biting as the others and genuinely enthusiastic.
And yes Stuart is a total ass. He's the only totally obvious no-hoper left IMO.

ummm I enjoy winding down in front of British TV after a long day full surrounded by the German language. It's television, it's entertainment, it's a break after a hard day work and living in a foreign country that doesn't speak my natural tongue.Originally posted by sasguru View PostThe problem with Apprentice is that it must give a huge number of talentless wannabes the idea that "bizness" is conducted in that fashion.

I think anyone who reads a thread at this time of night who isn't even interested in the thread content shows a lack of entrepreneurial spirit that could otherwise be better invested elsewhere.. move along @ssguru
