The Apprentice: Thread 2

[Pebbledashery]

No more turds boys!!

@Giraffesandbottoms

I’m actually raging about Brittany being a total bitch and so unsporting as to directly insult prison games! Also to then go to the house and LIE “he said we probably would have won if not for the spelling” NO HE DID NOT. Like 3 adults couldn’t spell (or pronounce) ARCTIC, that’s not all Francesca’s fault. Game idea was preachy and shit.

Agree 100%. If the game had been good they'd have overlooked the spelling mistake.

Oh good God.

cheeseisthebest totally agree. Francesca should have been in final. Sugar is losing his touch!

I bet she could be behind some of the mumsnet threads at 2 in the morning…

The ones that get ⚡️

So looking forward to next week and the sleepy wine tasting man 🙂

Next week looks good, I like the tour one, remember the South Africa one where they had to do a Safari tour, at least this one they will only be looking for penguins, polar bears and seals...... oh, just a minute, must have been sniffing too much cheese, thanks a bunch Amy.

Btw I’m sure North Wales is beautiful but imagine thinking you’re going to South Africa like the last guys and you’re not…

Oh cringe-levels are going to be through the roof next week.
Does anyone remember the coach tour where they started singing wheels on the bus? It was unbelievably awful (even by apprentice standards)

@YoureAllABunchOfBastards

This is going to be arse-clenchingly awful, isn't it?

Your prediction was sadly so, so right.

Or should that be: you're predickshun wuz sew, sew write.

It was painful. Can't watch You've Been Fired as it's not on till after 11 here. Well I can watch it, obviously it's just Tim.Allen isn't worth staying up for.

I know, that was so passive-aggressive and weird. And like Karren pointed out, it wasn't even like it was going to affect the result or anything, so what was her point?

Ahhh. They don't make candidates like that anymore.

The show peaked in series 4 IMO, with Raef and the 'reverse pterodactyl' guy and that fella who'd been in Bosnia and absolutely smashed the laundry task. And the one who claimed to be Jewish and then didn't know what a kosher chicken was It's been downhill ever since!

This week was hilarious. I think since the change from "job" to "investment" the boardroom member in the firing line is always going to be the one Sugar least fancies going for. Still total entertainment. Hoping next week a team goes for Portmeiron in the N. Wales task (although I'm Scottish and the "Central Belt" seems really far south, so that's mid-Wales to me , happy to be corrected!).

Francesca was good previously but this week was such a car crash, she just couldn't survive it.

In addition to 'Artic' [sic] she had the character collecting penguins, don't forget

Yes, @harrylover , quite frankly you sound nuts!

The fact that not any of them could spell 'Arctic' is still keeping me giggling.

@harrylover you're way overthinking this. For years.

I think you need to keep those little handies of yours busier with Arctic Saviour or something…

Bollocks. Artic Saviour. 🚛

Francesca just cut Sophie off every time she tried to have some input and I actually agreed with a lot of what she was saying. Tbf though she still couldn’t spell arctic! Definitely the right one went, sad that Akeem couldn’t push himself forward a bit more, he was like a sacrificial lamb they were all ready to throw under the bus if they hadn’t won.

@GreenFingersWouldBeHandy

I'm torn between laughing and saying WTF, not sure which one is winning…

I'm actually shocked Francesca is gone, I thought she'd win (although right decision for this task!!)

I've been watching old series lately and a soon as Brittany said it was to educate on climate change etc...I knew they'd lose. I just watched series 4 when Kevin lost for making greeting cards to educate about the environment and he just couldn't grasp that producing cards, posting them etc... was not very environmentally friendly, no matter how good your message inside is.

Bye Franesa! 😉

Got to say, as a lifelong gamer (40 years but who is counting eh), the ArCtic Saviour game idea wasn't a bad one. There's plenty of ways they could make it work and I've played games with a serious underlying message over the years. So I disagree with Suralan on that and I'm glad Britney stuck to her guns. However the spelling mistake killed it, so it had to be Francesca for me.

The Time game was a total Tomb Raider rip off though.
