Anyone gonna be sat to pass judgement on Thomas Skinner for a bit of entertainment?

I would have gone for a boring but easily sellable Rudi the Reindeer, without any stupid flavours. Chocolate or iced antlers, red nose and "A message to you from Rudy" on the back with that music for the jingle, as long as Dandy the original songwriter (82 on December 14th) didn't mind/gave his go ahead (could have done a Children in need tie-in with that song, tis a banger, and much needed for today's rude boy roadmen!) ;-)

Warning. Possible spoiler

As it is, this whole show was spoilered/scuppered for me by the biscuit being sold in Tesco already.
I bought one last night for shits and giggles - so could produce it for taste testing with the family - fuck me, it was rank/inedible. How that won is beyond me, honestly. It went in the bin.
£1.75 each - 17.5p to charity.
By God, they should have paid me.

Feck. Rudi the Reindeer is a Morrisons cake. That's me fired, then.
That advert on Tom's team is dire.
Hate Jolly Mctrouble concept but their ad and jingle is better.

17.5p to charity is shocking 😭

Gary the Penguin was a fun idea, packaging was fine, jolly little jingle.

Then it was totally let down by that godawful advert. The faces on the other subteam said it all.

Rob Rinder was shameless !
Love it though , he went for it

Oh, i like Gary Lineker!

I'm liking us getting to see the celebs a little more unfiltered though, bantering eachother

Big contrast to the loveyness of i'm a celeb

Travesty! 😁😂
Trust.
Gary the penguin tasted fucking awful
Bosh.

Sack AJ for being annoying

😭😭 aj is 100% getting sacked

Eddie is so funny

The losing side had the best ads.

😭😭 what is going on

Jakes kinda ... irl too

God this was dire. Can we please be done with ‘celebrity’ versions of each and every TV format?

Rob Rinder's selling style put me right off him. Not that I was a fan before.

it was giving unscrupulous 😬😬😬

Really - the whole thing was a deliberate joke. They were totally hamming it up on purpose. It's CIN, not a "normal" celeb version.

The gladiator guy wasn't really arrogant, he was kidding, acting a part like someone The Apprentice always does. Rob R was the same, just over acting it all, and Sarah Hadland. We really weren't meant to take any of it seriously.

I really enjoyed it.

Will never get people who watch things like this, then come on threads about it, then post things like this.

Why watch it!

Some of us like it!

I just read this thread, had it ' on watch ' for a couple of weeks but hadn't watched the programme until last night.

I work in ASDA on the tills and I never had a single one through my tills and I worked every day ( except Christmas Day ) that week and I was sure the programme said ASDA did put in an order.

@BahMinthumbug

I am really surprised it was still full price after Christmas, as i thought it was a Christmas product - would expect it to be at least half price by now.

I enjoyed the programme but did find the board room too long at the end.
