I am trying to imagine Johnny in a classroom. I am struggling.

I definitely can’t imagine him teaching secondary school. Maybe primary.

FreddoSwaggins · 06/03/2025 21:57

Odd choice out of the three. I'd have been less surprised at a double firing and a you're pm next week.

ArticSaviour · 06/03/2025 21:59

Just had a look at Johnny's website. The tutors are all university students as far as I can see.

As much as I liked Johnny think that was the right decision. But tough call

Pillows Thomas is in You're fired I loved him

Can you imagine the discussion after the away day at Vodafone?

🎵Didn't we have a luvverrly time, the day we went to Bodrum ...

Doing that in choir atm, going to have to be careful at next rehearsal not to sing that now😁😁😁

I think You’re Fired used to have a feature called ‘The one that got away’ or similar, that would be Frederick this week. He seemed to be trying to stitch Johnny up from the start, plus itemizing the experiences and removing one in favour of telling people to stare at each other was dire. I recognised the expressions on the faces of the participants - why do companies waste money on such things?

Frederick nailed it back at the house - Suralan would rather you made the almightiest cock-up than did nowt. Jonny had stayed in the background too much.

Very much so Suralan likes a doer. And prefers someone who mucks in and makes a mistake than just hangs back and does nothing.

IHeartMyTissues · 06/03/2025 22:18

It seems to be a new thing this year that the winners' treats are themed to the task (and less extravagant than in previous series).

I'm very noticed that! Can't remember if it was a thing last year. The treats were awful last year ifrc. So maybe this the way to excuse that

WatchOutMissMarpleIsAbout · 06/03/2025 22:38

Think should have brought in the woman that insisted no wine personally. Out of the three though Jonny should have gone.

FagsMagsandBags · 06/03/2025 22:48

I don't think Johnny should have gone but agree with the no wine woman. Ffs, hold back on the food before you hold back on the wine and have at least a bottle each for the people you're taking. And make sure it's cold.

I think based on what went down tonight Johnny was the least deserving of the three of them to go but he was never going to win the show and wouldn't have lasted much longer. Sure, he was boring on the jeep tour but the jeep tour was deadly and boring even without him. The team leader whose name I can't remember fucked up by promising fine dining and not telling them to buy wine when she checked on the drink and they only had water and juice. Frederick fucked up by outlining the different prices and then making them all fucking stare at each other when they were sober. Shit dancing would at least have been funny although they'd still have been sober so who knows. The whole away day was a disaster from beginning to end with the only saving grace being some really nice food.

The other team just did a better job with each element of their away day. Blah, blah, blah. They are mostly a shower of shite but I am quite liking Mia as one of the best of a very bad bunch. Not high praise, but it is The Apprentice after all.

WatchOutMissMarpleIsAbout · 06/03/2025 22:53

I also think Mia is my favourite. However I wonder whether at times what the business plans are and whether that at times influences the firings.

SkyOfficer · 06/03/2025 23:12

Have you seen Mia's Instagram? She used to be a bodybuilder, she looks phenomenal and so different!! She's obviously someone who is very disciplined and hard working.

RainbowSnake · 06/03/2025 21:16

Good job they went for unlimited water. I remember the idiots who went for two glasses of water per person for a group of people in the middle of a desert.

That was absolutely bonkers, the guests were nearly passing out.

Just watching the start now. Why does everyone always go for making the groups chant?! Nobody wants to chant, ever!

JandamiHash · 06/03/2025 23:52

FreddoSwaggins · 06/03/2025 21:23

Whenever things feel hard in your job, remember that massive perk.

Some of the ice breakers I've had to do still make me want to weep

Agreed! I once had to do a corporate away day where we brought along “An oBen t that defines our lives”. I got told off because I brought myself and said I’m not defined by an object. Apparently it wasn’t in the spirit of the day. Wankers.

JandamiHash · 06/03/2025 23:54

the80sweregreat · 06/03/2025 21:27

Karen ( especially) and Tim are just so condescending about everything.

I think they’re supposed to be. I miss Nick and Margaret!

JandamiHash · 06/03/2025 23:55

ArticSaviour · 06/03/2025 21:27

I don't feel confident laying the table? Fuck me

I can’t believe she had a strop about not being made sub team leader and then can’t even lay a table

Well Fredrick nailed it back in the house about that being Suralan's preference this week.

Next week he could take exception to someone making an almight cock up, and tell them they should have done nothing because they weren't experienced in the cocked up thing.

workstealssleep · 07/03/2025 07:24

I get the feeling none of the other contestants like Melica. She is always on the edge of things.

workstealssleep · 07/03/2025 10:36

I have my eye on Dean, Mia, Anisa, Keir and Max. Maybe Amber Rose, Liam and Frederick.

Not so hopeful for Melica, Emma, Jordan, and Chisola.

CaptBirdsEar · 07/03/2025 14:24

Too embarrassing to watch at times, i ff it in places.

As some one else said I disagree, he would have said “why did you put yourself forward as sub team leader when x has a catering business”. I’ve hardly remembered any of their names this year but she insisted they say “yes chef” when she spoke to them.
also the one who made Vodafone employees celebrating a phone anniversary switch off their phones - was that even mentioned in the boardroom?

CandyLeBonBon · 07/03/2025 22:09

Jellykat · 06/03/2025 21:39

Well that was the usual pile of pants!

Couldn't have put it better myself. Suralan just makes it up as he goes along! And totally contradicts himself - poor Jonny!
