The Apprentice: Thread 2

[Pebbledashery]

No more turds boys!!

Looks like things don’t improve next week

@Pebbledashery

Naveed is really lovely though

Really? If my daughter was going out with him I'd stage an intervention and smash through the window to get her away from him.

If only lord Alan could say
'
Your fired ' to Boris Johnson.
Next week looks good , ' the worst failure ever '
! Oh dear

@Jellykat

Shouldve made Mavis project manager for next task, and kicked Sophie out

I agree

The one who left had an interesting wardrobe!

Love Tom Allen.

@WingingItSince1973

There's always the obligatory big scarf when they leave 🙄

I think it's to hide what they are wearing, under the coat.

I'm sure I read once that the bit where they walk from the building to the taxi is all pre filmed.
They batch film everyone "losing".
So they need to hide the suit/dress they have underneath, because it won't match when they are really fired

Oh yes, fishing! What could possibly go wrong....

@minou123

Can one call oneself a playboy?

Or is it a title others need to bestow upon you?

The playboy pharmacist. Hmm. I wonder whose family owns the pharmacy. Having seen his pipette skills I am glad he’s not signing off my prescriptions , I have know my lovely pharmacist for 30 years and I still check the boxes!

Anyone else humming the Jaws theme? Mind you , with this lot the tag line could be

“We’re going to need a bigger boast”

Sharma came across as I really lovely person and I Love Mavis' Elton John glasses on You're Fired Sharma

Can someone answer a question I’ve wondered for ages? When the retailers place orders do they ACTUALLY place orders? Will some superdrug stores have 10000 electric toothbrushes to try and shift? Do they actually manufacture and deliver 300 cases of non alcoholic drinks?

At the beginning when Lord sugar introduced the task, I'm pretty sure he said they would be judged on the "hypothetical sales" they made.

Is Mavis a 12 year old girl in reality? He speaks like one with all his Niki Minaj crap. Terrifying.

@minou123 that makes so much sense now. Also it must be quite an upsetting experience. I wonder if they give them a couple of different versions to choose from when the clip is needed…

Unappreciated exit
Unjust exit
Misunderstood exit
Stabbed in the back exit
Indignant exit

I came on to say exactly this. Sophie was useless.

Taste is probably fairly off but the branding for the vodka one was really good

For anyone who thinks they might miss mavis in the coming weeks here's a few things to keep you warm www.starnow.co.uk/navidsole1/

That's just embarrassing

Amy super lucky there, she just has no idea what she’s done wrong, looked completely baffled when people said their branding was old fashioned and boring and had the same look of bafflement last week when told the toothbrush was too childish for the target market!

That's gold! Where to even start

This is interesting, because I'm sure I remember noticing the firee wearing different clothes while getting into the taxi. Not sure it's that was on Apprentice Uk or Apprentice Ireland (less budget for sure)

So ... one disgusting drink was in a green can and one was in a brown one. Theme of the series :) At least they were slightly more tasteful shades.

Sophie should have brought Amy back to the boardroom as she was largely responsible for the branding.

I quite liked Navid, ineffectual though he was, until he said Sophie was "a silly girl". Not on these days.

The name Vodify made me think of Vodafone.

@the80sweregreat

The American has a Bonnie Langford look about her

Yes! I've been trying to think for two weeks of who she reminds me of!

She was so proud of that branding too and how she lead it.

Thought the branding on Voify was good but vodka was a daft choice (despite their winning) and it could never have been replicated. Felt this episode does show how much sway branding has.

Saying that, the husband (works in the drinks business) said at the start beer would be a bad choice.as when people choice non-alcholic version of beer they want a beer, but with spirt non-alcholic version people are more adventurous of to different mixtures.
