Why don't we have a wager on who's going out tonight? First poster in the thread to guess right wins (and you are not allowed to say more than one name, OKAAY?).

The lucky winner will be presented with a holiday for one in Blackpool*.

I'll give you all a shout again before it starts. Unless I forget. In which case apologies in advance.

*Travel, expenses, food and accomodation not included. Winners may exchange prize for either a signed copy of Christopher Biggins' autobiography or the actual bra worn by Ann Widdicombe on Strictly last Saturday.

Geeze it makes me laugh!!! The guys are extra knobby this year to (or is it always like that for the first few weeks?). What amazed me last week is the two TOP LONDON CITY BANKERS who got special praise from Nick for doing some sums. Cost, number of sausages = how much we need to charge ie really basic basis stuff that's clearly beyond most of these bright young things.

My colleague just told me one of the male candidates had to leave the series as his brother was badly injured in Afganistan. I wonder when that happens?

NigellaPleaseComeDineWithMe · 13/10/2010 14:29

Tonight.

Rockbird · 13/10/2010 14:33

Nigella, I'm not casting aspersions on your son, promise. I don't think for a minute that in Mr Surgeon's case it's anything othern than a line. No incidences of cute childhood mispronunciation there!

LadyBlaBlah · 13/10/2010 14:35

The one who said his name was a brand on his cv Shock - The young twat from the Isle of Wight

He might even have been the one who said "everything I touch turns to sold". Class

NigellaPleaseComeDineWithMe · 13/10/2010 14:39

Rockbird no offence taken - the surgeon is a knob, but it just reminded DW & I that's what it sounded like..

ChristmasTrulyReigns · 13/10/2010 14:45

Right I'm playing tactically here. (learnt from previous Apprentice exposure)

Am picking someone no-one else has picked and a bit of a wild card so I don't have to share the prize.

But................I can't remember her name. Blush

The only way I can bagsy on her is to describe, but the only way I can decribe is long dark wavy hair, looks abit like that serial plastic surgery woman (from USA) with cat like eyes.

Does anybody know who I mean?

OliviaMumsnet · 13/10/2010 14:54

Joy/

OliviaMumsnet · 13/10/2010 14:57

Sorry that was meant to be a ?

ChristmasTrulyReigns · 13/10/2010 14:57

If that was to me Olivia no thats not the one.

Will have a look to see if I can work it out from your link.

Thanks though.

ChristmasTrulyReigns · 13/10/2010 15:02

Tah-dah -

Laura

OliviaMumsnet · 13/10/2010 15:37

Oh okay.
I think Laura looks like she should be in Eastenders.
Also LOL at Melissa being Jenny Eclair's DD

Rockbird · 13/10/2010 15:50

What the hell did Jenny Eclair do to herself btw? She always did look like a mad woman's arse but she's taken the theme and run with it!

WowOoo · 13/10/2010 16:40

Melissa the ex-hairdresser.

Am sure the 'probably most successful 20 odd year old in the world' one will be kept in for entertainment value. But he grated on me the most.

FindingMyMojo · 13/10/2010 16:43

update for the Apprentice on FB
"Raleigh Addington has quit the show after his brother was badly wounded serving in Afghanistan."

FiveGoMadInDorset · 13/10/2010 17:11

There is a link in an earlier post Finding

DialMforMother · 13/10/2010 17:20

Yes! Re Jenny Eclair on You're Fired. How much plastic surgery has she had and, more to the point, why? Start with the grooming Jenny and maybe with not being so scarily like a very frightened horse.

Am I the only one who wonders why people whose names end in Mumsnet don't join in more?

TandB · 13/10/2010 20:30

What's the name of the bloke who went to the boardroom last week and didn't really say much and hadn't really done much in the task?
He seemed a little pointless - I vote for him being next to go.

QuizteamBleakley · 13/10/2010 20:52

SPOILER ALERT...

Right, you've chosen so now you must drink if your Apprentice talks thru their arse (cue lots of drunken posts later...)

Tonight, they get told to meet Lord Alan at Heathrow - excitement ensues, alas, a trip doesn't! Challenged to design & flog a holiday product one bunch of eejits declares the beach towel as a thing of the past... Ummm

alicatte · 13/10/2010 20:58

I think it will be Raleigh. He just doesn't seem like a Sir Alan sort. I'd much prefer Stuart or that 'blond pro-fess-i-on-al-is-m' woodpecker girl, whose name I have forgotten.

TrillianSlasher · 13/10/2010 21:00

I haven't had dinner but I'm not sure I can eat and watch the Apprentice and chat to your lot all at the same time.

alicatte · 13/10/2010 21:01

OOh here we go.

PuppyMonkey · 13/10/2010 21:02

I've seen a preview of whole show, it isn't pretty. Raleigh's dropped out.

TrillianSlasher · 13/10/2010 21:06

So really no point in being at the airport at all then.
