The Apprentice - Season 17 - Thread 2 - The Season With A lot of (Lip) Filler!

Thread 2 :)

Looking forward to catching up on tonight's ep! What was it again? A children's cartoon?

I know. Vile old dinosaur. They should get shot of him and arrogant Karen.

Or possibly not a fan of Simba's business plan? (no idea what is is tho)

The saving grace of 'Chef Barking' was that the dogs actually liked it.

There must have been poor communication from the experts at some point because both teams had the idea that the food should be around 20% protein, not that 20% was the minimum.

There

I wonder if this year there was no good story or background for claudine to dig into and bring the candidates to tears on so they've gone for Karren instead for sheer brutality. Interviews are my favourite and I will miss Claudine she's great. These candidates will struggle though I suspect

I’m sure they can’t have all been this shite in previous series. Surely?

What is the betting that at least one of the business plans will involve a cake shop. Again.

I think Megan has some kind of cake business.

They seem particularly bad this year.

Just seen the trailer for next week. “It’s Baroness Brady to you”. Who the fuck does she think she is?

They just didn't listen to the dog food chefs. They don't listen to each other so why would they?

The camera was zoning in on the lips in an unflattering angle. Same for Victoria 🦆

Awful!

It's a bit dated now to brush them up like that. Not a look I'm a fan of anyway.

They're all useless really. Simba leaving was a surprise.

Some dreadful profile shots too!

Wasn't it all or mostly women last year?

Wonder why both were so stingy on the protein. I mean they were told a minimum percentage, yet both went with the minimum (or lower). Didn't seem to be a costing involved for the ingredients did there? In fact did they even cost the actual product.

I think it's easier to believe that they are do bad and make these mistake because they are set up or communicated to badly isn't it. Because it's just not comprehensive that so many people could just not listen to advice or do basic maths or simple checks on their wording of the packaging or ads, especially people who apparently are very ambitious.

High flyers not even achieving a basic level quality assurance.

I'm sorry to see Simba go, really wish Dani had gone instead 😔

Megan should have gone. Her brief was terrible.

I don’t recall swearing etc in previous weeks. Maybe I just didn’t notice

It looks like she's cut eyebrow shapes out of fake fur and stuck them on.

I didn't hear Karen say anything about " its baroness Karen Brady to you" just saying the costings/ financials were wrong

Did mean to add that by simple wording checks I meant that "nutricious' was on the package. (For the insect dog food Poop Gloop or whatever it was called.)

Not one soul was shown to have pointed it out (unless it was edited out). Though to be fair it might have been because the package was so boring they zoned out.

That was a really odd decision. Dani was far weaker than Simba, and Megan was more at fault for this task.

It’s in the trailer for next week’s episode.

Simba was robbed this week - he was the least bad out of both teams on this one and didn't really do anything wrong - it wasn't his fault that Dani wouldn't listen to him, it was hers!
Megan should have been fired on the basis of this task although I would have preferred Dani to have gone.

At the end of the episode? Or on something like YouTube? I didn't hear it at the end of the episode. That being said I'm not too bothered if she did the whole idea of the interviews is to put them under pressure.

I wonder if someone hasnt got their Web domain or the like this year?...again

At the end of the episode. Putting someone under pressure doesn’t necessitate being arrogant, superior and self important, particularly as they thank you for your time as they’re standing up to leave.
