Did anyone see this episode?

I'm totally stunned, I can't believe my own eyes.

The 'prize' for the winning team (mainly women) was a party at the Playboy Mansion ShockAngry.

Is this what it takes to succeed in business in the good old USA? Can you imagine Lord Sugar sending the winning candidates off to Spearmint Rhino?

Unbelievable.

i did think the blonde, specky, curly-haired one (no idea of name, she's not been featured yet) seemed at least a leetle neg about it.

also the tent thing is ghastly for women. not because women SHOULD have more electrical/make-uppy primping to do in the mornings, because they shouldn't, however if those women don't have a full face/straightened hair etc, you can be sure it would be used as evidence of their weakness somehow.

have watched eps 1 and 2 and find team captain heidi just insufferable tho.

I had to stop watching I got so ANGRY!! the fact that they didn't say 'umm, this is a PRIZE??', to watch some aging guy being fawned over, and then one of them saying have fab it was he had three playmates AHHHHHHHH

I remember watching one episode of America's Top MOdel, and these girls were humiliated and bullied at every turn. One of them (the most gorgeous one, who I thought was set to win, as it happened) walked out of the set and OMG you should have seen the way they laid into her "THere are winners and losers in life, and you've proved yourself to be a loser.." All because she wouldn't eat shit.

amazing that they were all absolutely fine with it, really. but then i suppose if anyone had stood up to them they would have been OUT.

Well indeed Grevling.

It's not really the candidates I have an issue with as such. Although it would have been refreshing to see one of them stand up and tell the slimy toad that a party with an aged porn pusher and his paid companions isn't really a 'prize'.

If they really were "brilliant" business men and women they wouldn't need to go on a reality TV show to get the £100k income.

The whole episode was a bit Hmm. Getting the candidates dressed up in bikinis strutting up and down a catwalk was bad enough.

I just can't believe these are supposedly top business people, brilliant men and women and they don't bat an eyelid at this 'reward'.

I won't be watching again. Donald Trump makes me want to puke.
