Guess who's back?

I am yet to watch the interviews although I did read what you have all said about the interviews. I will try an catch up eventually.

My brother and his girlfriend are visiting today, hopefully they don't plan on staying and I will be able to watch the final with you all. But if I don't, at least I will have a thread to come and read tomorrow.

See you all at 9!

It's like it's week one all over again. Can't believe these two are the finalists.

Aridane · 17/12/2017 21:27

Sarah’s brand name is difficult to say - too sibilant

DumbledoresApprentice · 17/12/2017 21:27

I was Shock at the sweet bukkake idea! The idea of a lobster-based IT recruitment ad made me Grin.

Akire · 17/12/2017 21:27

GUess a lot them would told them to stick it! Why would you want to do SO much of basic work for someone else to win?! Ok do a job but not invent name and everything.

Aridane · 17/12/2017 21:29

Hey - if you want 5 minutes of fun, look at The Apprentice: Honest Subtitles on iPlayer. It’s a 5 min recap for each episode, putting ‘honest subtitles’ to describe what’s really going on / being said. It’S funnier than I’m describing

Akire · 17/12/2017 21:29

This is dire

Akire · 17/12/2017 21:30

What exactly is the guy doing. Just recruiting people??

CremeFresh · 17/12/2017 21:30

'Doesn't scream high end' ?? Since when have shrimps and smarties been high end ? Confused

foxessocks · 17/12/2017 21:30

Awful. This is ridiculous!

Roussette · 17/12/2017 21:32

How on earth can you make sweets high end? Sweets are sweets are sweets.

--god I could just murder some pic n mix this minute==

Dillite2 · 17/12/2017 21:33

Boo I had to turn it off because of moaning family. I will just catch up tomorrow, it's not like I am overly invested anyway.

Evening all. Present wrapping whilst watching. I think James will win. There's so much money in it recruitment esp the cyber security.
The sweet thing is meh but easily fixable website & profitable if they throw money at the brand.
Wish Michaela was in the final

CremeFresh · 17/12/2017 21:33

The two finalists are taking advice from people that got fired because they weren't good enough - ridiculous!

Akire · 17/12/2017 21:34

Basically is a graze box with sweets..

GuiltyPleasure · 17/12/2017 21:37

Annoys me every year when the show before the final they show him (& direction of) pointing his finger saying "you're hired" & then at the beginning of the final they show where the 2 candidates are sitting, so you know exactly who's won before it's barely started. It spoils it for me, but yes I'm still watching in the hope of being wrong 🙂

EB123 · 17/12/2017 21:39

You can already get these sweet boxes in the post and there are a few sites for buying sweets online, I used them for my wedding over 5 years ago!

melj1213 · 17/12/2017 21:41

Sarah doesn't seem to understand the meaning of "unique" ... her new idea is a graze box which has been around for years, and that Alana utilises with some of her products from last year.

Also, why do they always make them come up with brand names now? Surely they both have established companies (Sarah) and/or have thought of their brand before now (James)

Xmasbaby11 · 17/12/2017 21:42

Lol 'create something epic'! They are such bssic sweets!

CremeFresh · 17/12/2017 21:42

The lobster thing is embarrassing

foxessocks · 17/12/2017 21:43

Yup. Never going to be epic. £18 for a jar of sweets is eye wateringly expensive I personally think!

ellenanora5 · 17/12/2017 21:44

Had to pause for a while, just saw that eejit dressed as a lobster so I'm fast forwarding.

faceremovinghairscream · 17/12/2017 21:45

This is so painful!!

CremeFresh · 17/12/2017 21:46

Both billboards are awful ! The lobster and the bloke with the umbrella- rubbish

CremeFresh · 17/12/2017 21:49

I just don't see how 1/4 of a million pounds is needed for a sweet business that could be run from your kitchen .

Akire · 17/12/2017 21:49

It makes me want to hid under the table
