Upselling Cabbage in the Loser's Caff - The Apprentice Thread Two

[ArticSaviour]

Just to bookmark for next week...

I can't believe Emma is still in to be honest. She's done nothing since Week 1. Liam has similarly done little.

I saw a clip of old Apprentice episodes and god the tasks were so much better and varied. Remember when they had to pick products (and picked Costco cheese!) to take to France, selling art, proper product design tasks. Now most selling tasks to corporate clients are only for pretend orders (eg the AI pop star) or the design tasks are set up to fail.

I think he liked Frederick too.
However, it appears that Frederick’s mistake was refusing to put Keir forward for firing

Is Emma the woman on the winning team with the glasses? Think youre right about her not doing anything. We all had a "who's she!?" moment when the camera focused on her in the boardroom.

It's absolutely ridiculous Dean didn't get fired. Suralan might as well have said "You was totally responsible for the reason why nobody invested. But you is a proper bloke, like me, so you get to stay."

I agree that Suralan liked Frederick, he gave him the "with regret, you're fired".

I so desperately wanted these as a child.

Was very strange why he kept all of them in and fired two…Keir wasn’t being brought back in by Frederick so LS must have had him in his sights and wanted him gone hence not following the normal drill.

Was it the Turkey romance that did it for Keir then? He’s been good up to now …

Liam dreadful in his pitch and team leader from that team also awful …can’t remember his name but abysmal.

Liam was shocking in that pitch 😳
Was he reading off the palm of his hand at one stage?
Presenting makes me feel ill so I admire them for getting up there, but it's a key skill for going on TA so (just one of the many reasons) I'd never go there.

I didnt know the backstory with Kier and Amber Rose and on wathcing yesterday, I assumed SAL fired Kier because of his inability to accept his pitch wasn't good so showing lack of accountability. I was surprised as although I hadn't warmed to Kier, I thought he had looked quite strong.

Wasn't suprised to see Frederik go, think he has struggled the last 203 episodes. Seems like a top bloke though and I liked him.

I don't like Jordan, in previous tasks he does seem to revel in throwing others under the bus. ie using the line "We werent given clear direction" by the PM almost preparing a defence if his sub team fails. Seems a bit quick to pin nlame each week.

Dean should have been fired. Because he did a crap job-but mostly because he is obviously a misogynist git.

Jordan does strike me as an absolute pup.

Agree that Dean showed stong signs of the mediocre man is better than a woman thinking.

Jordan was very lucky. Frederick did struggle last week, especially with the eye contact icebreaker!

Apparently, Keir is desperate to go on Love Island next. I don't think he's short of self-confidence.

Jordan was beyond useless in this task. And yes Dean was totally uninterested in what the 2 women had to say. 10 mins brainstorming would have got ideas, better than bankruptcy.

There’s no way on earth Dean should have got away with that!!!

It sounds like the show doesn’t have much integrity if Sir Alan is allowed to manipulate the show in order to fire who he wants to go, as opposed to who should go.

Just watched (have been avoiding the thread so as not to give myself spoilers as couldn't watch till this evening).

Haven't read the latest comments yet but need to get this off my chest.

I am livid that Dean is still in! Suralan should have fired Dean, not Frederick!

... and now to catch up on all your live comments 😃

That is his official name from now on [gavel].

Quite. Let the woman who is an app developer do it, then.

Oh, no, can't do that, she's not a bloke.

'With regret' used to mean something, but now Suralan bandies it about freely. He probably does like Frederick, though.

Hot sauce - I will be gutted if Levi Roots isn't one of the judges!

Seem to be a lot of food tasks this year.

With the dog app, if they'd just tweaked it so that you could 'spend' your three coins on, say, a bone, or save your coins for incrementally bigger purchases, maybe leading up to 50 coins for a kennel or something, they could have made it passably educational.

(Or had them take out a mortgage for a new kennel and commit to playing the app once a month for the next 25 years 😆)

Levi Roots is definitely in it next week. But probably just as briefly as Tre was in it a few weeks ago.

Yay! I somehow doubt they'll make anything to rival Reggae Reggae sauce, but we can hope.

I still miss the Reggae Reggae ketchup that was around at the height of the Reggae Reggae boom.

Was it just me or was Keir acting very oddly in “You’re Fired”?

He didn't come across that well. I imagine all of them are having to swerve around mention of this possible friendship during filming.

I think Keir knew that he'd only really been fired as a result of the Amber Rose dalliance
So he came across, to me anyway, as quite bitter.

The whole thing makes a mockery of the selection process. They obviously swapped AR into the other team so either she or Keir would have available to fire.
If Frederick had chosen Keir to come back, I bet Keir would have been fired and Frederick wouldn't. Possibly Dean would as well (as I feel he should have been).

I'd put a moderate amount of money on AR being fired the next time she's in a loosing team as she broke the rules as well.

I often wonder if it’s to do with business plans as to who is fired.
