@Porfre

I really like Akeem. He seems really honest, and open to others opinions. He just needs to believe in himself a bit more.

Nick is a wet lettuce, it seems hes managed to cruise through life relying on his accent and manner, doesnt seem to be much there- a bit gormless, reminds me a bit of Boris.

Sophie definitely deserved to go. If you watch You're fired there was an awkward bit where they asked her who she got on with in the house, and she just sat there trying to come up with an acceptable answer, and talking about people playing games. In the end she settled with saying she got on with everyone, but you could tell she hated living in the house and didnt really get on with the other housemates.

I did feel a bit sorry for her on You're Fired because she always looked annoyed and angry all the time on the show, but I've also got a resting bitch face and am always asked what's wrong , and why I'm so annoyed, so could also easily be taken the wrong way.

I cringed through that bit of You're Fired. She clearly didn't get on with the others and I felt quite embarrassed for her. She wasn't very likeable though.

Agree re Akeem, he seems like a lovely bloke. Just not sure if he is cut out for this process.

Also agree with the comments about Nick - I can't help but like him anyway, but he is certainly someone who has led a privileged life and probably never really had to rely on his own abilities to get through things. You might have put me off him with the Boris comparison though...I think that's a bit harsh, personally! Grin

His family own Brothers cider and Babycham etc and he wants to go into the drinks industry with a tonic i think it is. As he could easily do this via his wealth etc presumably he is on it mostly to be 'known' but damnit yep can't help finding him endearing (and hot).

I also like Akeem he’s got a nice way about him and not nasty. Glad they won! Don’t like what her name that was in his team who tried to take the credit...so gobby ! Nick is a wet lettuce and useless...! Sophie thought she was a cut above see ya!

ilovebrie8 · 18/02/2022 19:55

Harpreet that’s the one so two faced !!

Kitsinthehood · 18/02/2022 20:55

I'm amazed at the love for Nick. He's a wet, gormless trust fund boy. But with a family name behind him he'll probably go far.

Kathryn is growing on me, and Stephanie seems quietly strong in the background. None of the men seem like winners right now.

Sophie deserved to go. Back to her selling £14 cocktails (yes really) in her basement bar in the town I also live in.

Maireas · 18/02/2022 21:01

I agree, @Kitsinthehood. I don't get the love for Nick, I don't think he shows much in the way of creativity, initiative or determination.
Anyway, we'll see what happens if he lasts until the interview stage!

Giraffesandbottoms · 18/02/2022 21:19

What’s nick’s family name? I didn’t realise he was well known.

So pleased Sophie went!

Same. He seems completely inept and a pretty weak Candidate to me?
SheldonesqueTheBstard · 19/02/2022 12:45

Nick doesnt put up my bunting either.

I’ve seen more life in one of my 18 hour shift socks.

Akeem would have won by much more if Brittany hadn’t pushed her branding ideas so much.

mycatisannoying · 20/02/2022 21:01

Jesus, Kathryn is pretty.

Just that.

SheldonesqueTheBstard · 20/02/2022 21:46

Isn’t she just.

I look at her face and see beauty.

I look at mine and see the dark side of suralan’s bawbag.

Life ain’t fair.

Maireas · 21/02/2022 08:33

Kathryn? It's the eye of the beholder and all that. Big lashes and hair extensions never look good (personal opinion), but I'm not judging if that's your choice.
Sheldon - as much as your comment made me laugh (a lot - it's your phrasing!) I strongly suspect that whatever you look like, your inner beauty shines through!!

I love you maireas -even though you are mistaken. ☺️ When it comes to me anyway! xx

As it goes, I agree about fat lashes and swingy tresses. I still think the lass is bonny despite it and I wish this trend would go.

The most beautiful person on the box this week for me has been Christine on the pottery throw down.

No face on. No extensions. No airs. Just a beautiful honest face. Quite stunning in fact.

But when she spoke of her story with such dignity? Elevated to the realms of the angels beauty wise.

Beautiful woman.

I love AJ for that reason too. (Not just because she’s local!) And there is an honest beauty around her too. Is it the clay??? She has the well scrubbed face of many up here. We outnumber the very groomed people by about 50-1.

Each to their own as you say though.
There is beauty everywhere. Even if you have to howk a bit for it ☺️

longwayoff · 21/02/2022 10:09

Sheldonesque you shine a light whenever you appear on a thread. I shall never forget Glenda and her hotdog swinging freely in the breeze at the stolen barbecueGrin still makes me laugh thank you.

ICanSeeYourHotDogGlenda · 21/02/2022 10:17

I’d forgotten about that!!! I changed my name and everything for that thread (see above!)

Thank you 😊

Maireas · 21/02/2022 10:18

I haven't caught up on the Pottery Throwdown yet - but I agree that Christine is beautiful, AJ too.
AJ is such a modest person, but they have an honest inner beauty. Christine is a peach.
No doubt when I watch it I'll be weeping like Keith!

I’m back in the room!

I’m glad I didn’t shout my mouth off maireas 😬

I wept like cryn keef. But a smiley weep. It was one of my favourite ever pottery doings. 🥰

Sheldon is guaranteed to brighten up any thread!
BadHairDayExpert · 21/02/2022 18:07

Sophie missed a trick. She should have just accused Akeem of being the team leader instead of her, he’d have said he was and he would have been gone.

Piss funny. Grin Thank you x

SheldonesqueTheBstard · 21/02/2022 19:52

Have to say this lot are the most incompetent bunch we've ever had on The Apprentice
They don't ask basic questions, speak in bullshit bingo which has no relevance to the task in hand and look like idiots in front of clients.
The women wear SO much make up and dress like Barbie dolls.
I know there are young people out there in the corporate world who could run rings around this lot. Why are they so crap?
