apprentice tonight -the interview programme -who will go?

[poppy34]

can hardly wait as this usually one of classics each series. Any bets on who will go? keep changing my mind esp after seeing that prog on monday that gave more background on the candidates.

[lucykate]

missed the programme on monday, was it good?

i'm hoping for a claire vs lucinda final

[poppy34]

mm- on doing ok with tasks would agree with lee/claire but not sure if they'd not irritate in interviews. I do wonder if the other three might come across better in interview (esp alex and helene who are quite eloquent - you do worry if claire would let the interviewer ask anything!)

compelling viewing though..

[lilibet]

I think Lee may go after seeing him do his dinosaur impression on the trailer

[forevercleaning]

helen will def go, not sure if lusinda may too.

[forevercleaning]

helene sorry!

[poppy34]

was quite good - most interesting things that came out were lucinda has had family problems so wouldnt talk about it but was quite eloquent about her philosophy in leadign teams/managemnet, alex came across as very family orientated , bright but quite young and very driven, helene someone who went off the rails in early 20s but really turned it round , lee got all tearful about his dad only being a milkman and his girlfriend reckons he is not that confident really and can get intimidated by educated people, claire per her family very driven but not yet settled into a career (to be honest I wasnt that convinced by their portrait of her as bright/driven as didn't come across that way).

Probably made me look a bit more favorably on helene/alex - still not sure what to think about lucinda.. dh thinks she is bonkers

[CantSleepWontSleep]

I reckon that Alex might get fired, but the interviews can be so hard to predict.

Will be watching it behind time as have reflexology first.

[poppy34]

if it was on her performance I'd agree forevercleaning (suralun def has her number after last weeks boardroom) but the interview task can switch focus a bit - I'm sure that was half reason that -bozo- bloke who won it last year did cos he could talk a good game.

[lucykate]

lucinda is bonkers!!, she should get her own show after this has finished

[poppy34]

has alex been on that many winning teams? he does seem a bit of pretty scenery compared to the rest

[poppy34]

maybe a style makeover show lucy kate ?

[forevercleaning]

thats right poppy, i reckon alex might be good at the bullshit in the interview and Lee may flunk his, after seeing the presentation he did the other week, he was a bit crap.

[VictorianSqualor]

Claire will ace this bit I think.
Lee, not too sure, he might get too friendly,
Lucinda will be crap, possibly cry,
Alex, not sure, he'll play it cool, but maybe not say enough,
Helene will be a tough cookie to crack, but Suralan wants her gone anyway.

[cyanarasamba]

Thanks to reveal magazine I already know - grrr. Completely ruined my week.

[forevercleaning]

yeah we are gonna see a whole lot more of lucinda after this, cos she is so hilarious to watch, she will be picked for her own show.

[poppy34]

oh no cyanara how annoying...

mind you , you can still enjoy them squirming.

am still in shock from revelations re michael in the erm less educated sunday papers..

[VictorianSqualor]

Oooh, do I want to know now?

[cyanarasamba]

ooh what revelations re michael??

I am not telling. You would hate me.

[satine]

Oh gawd, what revelations about Michael?

(feels rather grubby for asking)

[MargaretMountford]

Michael, I hope - twat

[poppy34]

no don't tell cyanara.. we can discuss after the prog..

here you go cyanara at public revelation of the rubbish reading habits chez poppy..

sex god michael

[MargaretMountford]

I mean Lee -doh !

[poppy34]

if you didn't think he was a plum before now you know - the photo makes the article

[poppy34]

margaret -can't see how lee would cover himself in glory .. esp given the clip where he does that bird impression . what goes through his mind ?
