It would have worked better replicating gin, but perhaps not as good a name - Ginify Hmm

BiscuitLover3678 · 21/01/2022 12:27

I would’ve like to have seen Navid as PM. Sophia was floundering there. Branding was also a massive fail.

Glad Connor went. Came across as too arrogant and sexist (may be wrong there but that’s how I looked). Aaron seemed a bit of a bully at times but when not pm he’s calmed down a bit.
As always so many of the men are such extreme bullshitters.

I quite like Kathryn and Francesca.

If Navids parents are millionaires why was he on the apprentice! Why not ask the parents for the 250K! Sounds like he just wants to be "famous"

[quote TitsInAbsentia]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/[/quote]
So sweet, in the acting clip he has his old teeth. He seems to be able to speak better with them than with his new teeth, maybe that was the problem.

Agreed. He also appeared on "Eating with my Ex" so it seems like he just wants to be on TV

Navid's new teeth are stunning! I didn't notice them until he was in the taxi.

I couldn't do business with Nick. He's got such a nervous, shifty look. I wouldn't be able to trust him.

Sad about Shama :(

How could you NOT notice his teeth?!

I think that's a bit unfair. Why shouldn't he want to succeed independently? People would be quick to jump on any claims of success if his business had been funded by mummy and daddy.
LavenderAskew · 22/01/2022 06:10

It's like he had a change in personality. Though all that trilling and arm swinging and way of speaking does suit how he dressed. I had thought he seemed quite reversed considering his extravagant dress sense. (Not that I thought he was particularly reseved!)

I agree with you about Connor. Ignoring the gender neutral and promoting a product for boys indicates his views.
Maireas · 22/01/2022 08:39

Well, that was a shame that Shama had to go - I liked her and thought she had integrity.
How come Sophie actually runs a bar and was clueless about drinks?
Nick's hair really annoys me.
I'm surprised that Amy thought the label and branding was good - she was lucky not to be brought back.

Exhausteddog · 22/01/2022 08:40

@LavenderAskew

Yes in his video he is all in your face and super confident - but I guess maybe that's when he's the only person in the room. With 15 other bullshitters overly confident people , maybe he isn't as cocky. What are those strange noises though?

CarrieSadshaw · 22/01/2022 10:19

The wrong person goes home every week. Amy should have gone for her boring branding and Akshay should never have been brought in, given he sold the most.

Honestly think this is the weakest group ever. Can't tell most of the girls apart; they all look and act like Malibu Barbie. The boys are either arrogant jerks or ineffectual idiots.

Shama was the only one who stood out. Nobody seemed to even notice her going:(

@betwixtlives

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?
Someone's just posted this link on another Apprentice thread which answers this question. TL:DR the small sales to the public are genuine, the big orders from retailers are just hypothetical.

Yes, I noticed Lord Sugar said "hypothetical sales"

Navid on "You're Fired"...
"You know what it's like when women get together"
Hmm

Well there’s a slap for him

@SonicBroom

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

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

Comes across as mean to me. Defending yourself is one thing but her face, body language and going at the quietest ones... really not a fan of her at all

nevergoesaway · 23/01/2022 13:51

I’m so sad that Navid went! Shock They really ganged up on him.

Why didn’t Tim call the others out when they were accusing him of saying nothing? He was there I thought, while they were doing the drinks mixing and could have told Alan the facts about how it was.

Also, Conor reminded me so much of David Beckham! He really had such a similar face I thought.

And something else that really bothers me is that none of them will say “me”, only “myself”.

BiscuitLover3678 · 23/01/2022 14:00

Why are posters calling Navid Mavis?

blyn72 · 23/01/2022 14:02

I was sorry about Shama, I liked her.

I'm enjoying it so far, haven't caught all their names yet.

MarshaBradyo · 23/01/2022 14:02

I liked Navid too

Sometimes, when you type Navid, it autocorrects the spelling to Mavis.
Strictlyfanoftenyears · 24/01/2022 09:05

Im suprised Navid is a model, he walked stooped loads of the time (as if he was trying to be shorter, really weird)

SheldonesqueTheBstard · 25/01/2022 09:59

The Apprentice will be poorer without Shama in it.

Navid? Not so much.
