What the title said.

This year's crop of wankers are up in 15. Any takers?

I increasingly think that, with the tasks, they're just set up to fail. Of course a small group of people can't produce the amount of bruschetta tomato base, by hand, to the specification a restaurant like Zizzi would want. Ridiculous!

Well surely that was the point! They should have realised that and negotiated accordingly. They ended up agreeing on an even greater quantity of chopped tomato at a lower per kg price! 🤦

I've just caught up. God Nadia was awful. So bloody contemptuous of everyone else in the team!

I think she is the worst project manager I have seen in 19 years of watching the show. A nasty personality too. Did anyone watch 'you're fired'

Yes, I watched it earlier. Nadia came over much better in 'Your're Fired' than in the series. She was relaxed and good humoured, it was quite an entertaining episode.

Beef sausage s could be because of those involved who don't eat pork. Same reason the pizza has a meat ball on it rather than the very popular choice of bacon/peperoni l.

Something involving chips seems like an obvious choice. Dirty fries or a spice bag (i think they've hit parts of London now.) Seems odd they didn't consider chips doesn't it - which would make you think why. And I suspect the answer isn't that they are all stupid but because they couldn't.

Could you imagine how long they’d spend cutting potatoes into fries. The other team’s feeble attempt to cube tomatoes was like watching a toddler trying to bake

And surely Zizzi are just playing a part for the cameras.

I feel like I need to write into the Rest Is Entertainment Podcast about this

After seeing him as a bit of a joke I have a new found respect for Keir who consistently and respectfully called her out and walked away when she was overstepping a boundary. It’s the only thing to do with people like that xx

But Zizzi are only going to want large amounts of the sauce. A group of people with no catering experience aren't going to have a realistic understanding of the amount of tomato sauce (or pre-prepared roast potatoes) they can produce in the required time.

I've missed when cabbage became the go to addition for sausage and mash 🤔?

We either go down the baked beans route or the cabbage and gravy route depending on mood. If you like cabbage, it does go well with bangers and mash.

Ilovetea33 · 22/02/2025 21:42

I was a little disappointed Nadia was fired straight away and I didn't get to hear her spouting more nonsense to throw the other two under the bus.
Also, did the mash absolutely have to be flavoured? I wouldn't like garlic mash either.

The panel all disagreed with Lord Sugar but most of the audience held up fired

That totally floored me, how come the panel were so positive about Nadia??

I know, the quickest clearest firing I've seen, yet the panel was mooning and gushing over her!

billysboy · 23/02/2025 15:39

The producers edited her to be a proper gobby cow who knew best , I dont suppose that was very hard to do

The panel knew a bit more than the viewers.

Nadia came over very well on 'You're Fired' (candidates don't always), she was relaxed and funny, there was no resentment.

Good for her.

any predictions?

Not really, I can't say I find any of the contestants all that much fun this year. I've forgotten who is who but the girl who sings in a church choir and gave the wrong figure last week might be for the chop.

No one wants a healthy Easter egg.

Sugar was v disappointed with that outcome.

As was I.
