I am pleased to invite you for The Apprentice interview

Please present yourself in front of BBC 1 at 9PM and ask for the horrible bosses.

Funnily enough I had an interview today. I didn't cry- yay! But when they asked me if I had any questions for them, I had none- nay! I have never been asked that question before and it just threw me.

On her website you linked 3cats there is a picture of a cow with the slogan "leave my tits alone". Camilla is seriously deluded with her branding and marketing. How did she get this far? And how can she expect to appeal to families/kids?

Alfie190 · 13/12/2018 13:00

The first picture on her website in the About section is another example of Camilla's poor judgement..

Remember the really inappropriate airline uniform, halterneck top and very short skirt, I wondered if she was involved in that and just checked back ... yep Camilla again.

PrincessScarlett · 13/12/2018 13:21

I saw that picture to Alfie190. It actually scares me that young women like Camilla approach business in this way.

IPromiseIWontBeNaughty · 13/12/2018 13:27

If Camilla wins it will be a disgrace. She should never have got that far. But those swimsuits that Sian has designed. Yuck.

lazymare · 13/12/2018 13:49

The website copy alone means I will never ever buy it. She can't have won or someone would have sorted out the terrible punctuation.

Piggywaspushed · 13/12/2018 15:20

Apparently Camilla is a huge advocator [sic] of women in business

Presumably so long as they sexualise themselves or other women in the process because - y'know - sex sells.

ItsAllGoingToBeFine · 13/12/2018 15:30

I'm pretty sure she shouldn't be making these sorts of (untrue) claims?

Dairy contributes to clogged pores

a glass of milk can contain up to 20 painkillers, antibiotics and pathogens

She also says.that supermarket shop milks are full of sugar whereas hers use agave syrup and fruit extracts Hmm

Piggywaspushed · 13/12/2018 15:35

Is there evidence that young Insta types like no dairy, because that definitely seems to be who she is marketing at.

SmilingButClueless · 13/12/2018 19:27

I find it so depressing that both the finalists are basically using sex to sell their products. Whatever the flaws in Khadija and Sabrina’s business plans, at least they weren’t doing that.

I really don’t understand Lord Sugar’s decision this time.

ikltownofboothlehem · 13/12/2018 19:52

Not sure what Ludalan was thinking.

Binglebong · 13/12/2018 20:03

Apparently Savrina's tennis grade is 18 which means she's rubbish. I've been told. No idea of the reality!

lazymare · 14/12/2018 00:46

I'm not sure that you can be grade 18'in either playing or coaching.

Adult grading starts at 10.

lazymare · 14/12/2018 00:49

She is a 9.1. That's not great. She can't compete much. My 11 year old should manage that by this time next year.

Binglebong · 14/12/2018 08:05

Hmmm, someone was exaggerating to me then. I have no idea what the grading means so it was fairly pointless! And to be honest your skill doesn't massively affect how well you can coach, which I believe she mentioned, so it's not very relevant.

HollowTalk · 14/12/2018 12:11

I didn't understand her nut milk business. There are flavoured nut milks in Asda - what was so special about hers?

What was interesting about her was how I realised with each episode just how sexualised she was in the work she did - that advert with the mouth should have had her thrown off immediately. If a man had produced that then he would have been, I'm sure.

And swimwear isn't a bloody concept, ffs. And where are these pool parties? Surely anyone with that kind of lifestyle would just go to the many high street stores that sell swimwear, or but it from one of the thousands of websites available. I don't understand how that's a business at all.

SinisterBumFacedCat · 14/12/2018 13:31

*Dairy contributes to clogged pores

Yes but if you've got a nut allergy Camillas stuff is fatal. I'll keep my clogged pores thanks!

HollowTalk · 14/12/2018 14:02

What was funny was that she put "clogged pores" as the very first, most important thing on the list of benefits.

Arcadia · 14/12/2018 20:19

Nothing about animal welfare ...
Also very depressed about the sexualised nature of the advertising

dillite · 14/12/2018 20:22

hollow having looked at her website, what's different about her nut milk is all the sexualisation of it. I honestly thought that it was going to lead me to some soft-porn gallery or something.

I think Camilla's idea has Nut Bush Shitty Limits (sorry).

Piggywaspushed · 15/12/2018 06:22

Interesting you say that hollow because Daniel's advertising on Amazon is also very sexualised and they didn't even fleetingly pick up on that.

DH reckons that's because they wnated rid of Daniel anyway so it wasn't worth mentioning , whereas they needed to find one thing to pick up on about Camilla's to give her a rough ride (fnarr fnarr nudge nudge wink wink)

IPromiseIWontBeNaughty · 15/12/2018 07:55

Anyone know when he gets given the business plans? I’d have thought that the most important thing was to see whether you’d want to invest in one of the businesses. Yes I know it’s really all about the tv.

RebootYourEngine · 15/12/2018 21:25

Definitely the wrong decision to have these two in the final.

Both products are shit.

SmilingButClueless · 15/12/2018 21:32

IPromise according to one of Lord Sugar’s recent tweets, he doesn’t read the business plans in detail until the last couple of weeks

IPromiseIWontBeNaughty · 16/12/2018 09:49

Interesting. If it was me I’d want to see people’s business plans before they even got to the tv stage.
