Just seen an interview with the big cheese S'Rallan, although Lord Sugar technically. I Love the Apprentice

Can't wait. Although it's still sad not to have Margaret Sad

Hahaaaaaa @ the FUN racial stereotypes

Edna- RUBBISH, what is with the leather gloves?!

emmanumber3 · 11/05/2011 21:33

Don't like Edna at all. I know it's good to be a strong personality but you really need to listen to other people - especially in a team. Sad

ChristinedePizan · 11/05/2011 21:42

The women fucked up big time by not brainstorming and panicking because they spent too long doing market research.

AnyoneForPimms · 11/05/2011 21:48

I'm in shock. I cannot believe the boys lost.
Edna didn't deserve to win that task

Maybe Edna can dial down the eyebrows next week from Arrogant Tilt to Supercilious Sneer?

SlightlyJaded · 11/05/2011 22:38

Cannot believe the girls got away with that Shock

Edna seems to one if those insecure women that feel what you lack in ideas and intuition can be directly cancelled out by appearing to be ruthless and ball-breaking. Loathsome.

jugglingjo · 11/05/2011 22:56

The girls just got really lucky didn't they ?
Bad leadership, rubbish brain-storming, creativity stamped on.
Too much time on low level market research, no time to come up with a good concept.
Bad presentation.
But their idea was more global, and appealed to young market, applicable in a variety of situations. Wrote a good strap line.
They won ! Shock Shock

Was much more into it today as getting over that hurdle of getting to know this year's new egoists candidates.
Agree with those who find "You've been fired!" even better than the main show.
Equally happy with AC or DO'B. Did AC get fired ? Or did Sir Alan snap him up ?

TrillianAstra · 11/05/2011 23:40

I have been out this evening but will watch on iplayer when I can... I know people who work in companies where apps are an important part of the business so willl hop ethat they have watched so I can ask them what they think!

TrillianAstra · 11/05/2011 23:41

Ctahing a glimpse of the last answer - this is why when it gets down to 5 or so people they do interviews - although the people are largely selected for entertainment value SurALun doesn't want to be forced to pick someone shit, so the whole "whoever wins the task doesn't get fired" goes out the window once you get down to the last few. Because you can win a game by being lucky, not by being good.

TrillianAstra · 11/05/2011 23:47

What - was that the whole thread? Or did you all fuck off to the other one? I'm not reading it anyway.

ChaosTrulyReigns · 12/05/2011 00:05

There's another thread Trills.

but I'm not going to link if you're not going to read it.

[arsey tonight]

TrillianAstra · 12/05/2011 00:11

Why is there another thread when there's a thread right here?!

Well, at least it's in Telly Addicts, last time around there were lots of Apprentice threads in AIBU - what's that all about?

Be as arsey as you like, it's only me and you here! :o

ChaosTrulyReigns · 12/05/2011 00:18

Oh I think they thought that as everyone was sonicwitty and uberobservant commentators they'd exceed the pre-paid thread limit.

htfh.

ChaosTrulyReigns · 12/05/2011 00:19

And why are you so tardy with WWF?

TrillianAstra · 12/05/2011 00:25

And of course the app-rentice

I have no vowels

CakeandRoses · 12/05/2011 10:16

I'm a day behind (still have to watch last nights) so don't dare to read the thread yet but can someone tell me if it's my all-over-the-place-after-millenia-of-bf-and-pg hormones or are Edna and Melody just complete wankers? far from being entertained, I felt so Angry watching them last night I wanted to shadow box in the direction of the TV Hmm

SexyDomesticatedDab · 12/05/2011 15:07

Should have done an app called the appprentice - each rcord some bullshit stuff about how good they all are and let people download - must have been done way ahead of when anyone knew about the candidates - not global but could have gotthe UK audience an early peak at them - especially mr sooper smoothy (not).

jugglingjo · 12/05/2011 16:40

Do you think there are rules though about not mentioning being on the apprentice ?

Otherwise surely they'd mention it more often to shift the crap merchandise they throw together carefully hand-craft.

UndiscoveredApprentice · 12/05/2011 18:49

So far it is brilliant.

And my user name should tell you I should know.
