To not be able to stand Zoe in Junior Apprentice?

Feel a bit bad as she is just a kid, but then again seems like just yesterday that I was that age and I wouldn't have warranted any sympathy if I acted like that !

She has this really annoying Gordon Brown-esque mouth thing that she does, plus her incessant interrupting of the others - so rude!

That's lazy thinking Tee - it says because this 16 y-old is on the telly, I can say what I like about her, all adult responsibilities are absolved because she's on the telly and is therefore slightly less human than me and I have free reign to slag her off.

It's nonsense. You can justify any kind of bullying that way -

well, if he hadn't worn that lame t-shirt then we wouldn't have beaten him up. It was his fault. He was asking for it by wearing that stupid shirt

DH has banned me from going to Greenwich Market as he thinks I won't be able to hold back on what I think of her and would probably slap that sneer off of her face - or at least tell her that the tone of listick she chooses to wear makes her teeth look an awful colour!

I swoon Tim - feel a bit pervy about it but he has big soft pillowy lips like DH and I lurve that!

Broodymomma · 03/06/2010 18:26

Does nobody else think Tim and the newly fired Hannah had a little thing going on??

AliGrylls · 03/06/2010 18:29

Zoe is a bitch. If I had a daughter like her I would wonder what I had done wrong. It is really unfair the way she acts like she knows everything even when she doesn't.

Who said Tim is gorgeous? You need your eyes tested. May I refer you to the Simon Cowell thread for a recommendation.

SeaTrek · 03/06/2010 18:29

Oh but the ultra annoying ones make the show!

In that respect, I think she is fantastic! So YABU!

MamaG · 03/06/2010 18:45

Agree fully 100x

OP i think you shold delete this thread

ApocalypseCheese · 03/06/2010 18:56

Oooohhh,so it is ok to perv at Tim from afar then ??

Humph, don't remember boys looking like that when I was 17 !!

GenevieveHawkings · 03/06/2010 19:03

If she's like this at 16 can you begin to imagine what she'll be like when she's grown up?!!!!

Un-bloody-bearable!

GenevieveHawkings · 03/06/2010 19:04

Actually, thinking about it, she'll probably turn out to be like her parents.

After all, they must be the reason she's like she is.

They're probably un-bloody-bearable too!

Funkycherry · 03/06/2010 19:16

I'm trying sooooooo hard not to comment because they are just kids!

I'm really sorry if I've offended anyone by this post - I honestly didn't think it would bother anyone about their age, because at 16/17 I moved out of my parents home and went to university and wouldn't have classed myself as a "kid" really.
It wasn't meant to be offensive - just friendly debate.
Apologies to anyone if they think it is mean.

You've only said what half the countries thinking SunFun !

SaliMali1 · 03/06/2010 19:43

Totally agree about Zoe she is so so so annoying the way she thinks she knows absolutly everything about everything and to be fair you know she has done well setting up a market stall (something I would not have the 1st clue about) however she lacks any heart, compassion for others, she comes across heartless.

ApocalypseCheese · 03/06/2010 19:51

Ice queen in the making !

oldandgreynow · 03/06/2010 20:19

These are real kids-not celebs.Please stop slagging them off they are someone's (possibly a MNer's) child!!

SaliMali1 · 03/06/2010 20:34

yes they are children but by going on a programme they will get talked about which is why it is important to conduct themselves in a way that sells them.

SaliMali1 · 03/06/2010 20:36

sells is the wrong word reading back- perhaps shows themselves in a good light is what I could have said.

Buddleja · 03/06/2010 20:40

I think she's invented a super strong lipstick remover.

I keep thinking of that video with all the women dressed the same and bright red lipstick each time she's on screen

Can't remember the name of the song though

babywalks · 03/06/2010 20:45

buddleja, think your thinking of robert palmer - addicted to love

Buddleja · 03/06/2010 20:51

Yes that's it!!! Brillant!!

Now i can have a theme tune for everytime I see her

2plus2more · 03/06/2010 20:53

don't think you are being unreasonable - she does my head in - and don't think this is wrong just because of her age. I have a little sister who is 17 and she has moments when she acts like Zoe - and I can assure you she does not get away with it! I think she (and a lot of her friends!) would secretly like to be like Zoe and it is just so unpleasant. She reminds me of people I knew when I was a teenager - they were so up themselves and thought they were better than everyone else - made people's lives a misery! Fortunately I was too thick-skinned to care what they said about me/sneered about me, but even now - being reminded of them through watching Zoe makes my skin crawl.

oldandgreynow · 03/06/2010 23:08

SaliMali-so if you were to post a picture of your DC in your profile it would be OK for me to sat they were ugly because you have put them in the public domain?

sanfairyann · 03/06/2010 23:17

this thread is exactly why i don't believe children under 18 should be allowed to take part in these kind of reality tv programmes and nor should their parents be able to give consent on their behalf

Ladyanonymous · 04/06/2010 00:08

Finally I can read this thread now I have watched and seen who was fired (should've been Tim).

Arjun looks like my youngest sons twin very cute and lovely
