The Apprentice 2014 - discussion thread [The Final: Sunday 9pm]

[BigSister]

Right 2 went last episode although really Mark should have gone his past performances saved him. I have a feeling though Daniel might just get through although really it should be between Roisin, Solomon and Mark for the final 2. The interviews though are my fave bit although Im slightly gutted Margaret isn't back this year shes my fave

GODDESS :love:

[Benjamin]

:worship:

[erinp5]

On last night's show the final 5 Daniel said 'Who would have thought I would be in the final three' ....:hehe:

[Braden]

I am so mother****ing excited.

[Crimson Dynamo]

let the carnage



begin

[Cal.]

So obvious Daniel will be saved.

[LukeB]

when is the final??

[Cal.]

when is the final??

Next week.

[LukeB]

Next week.

Surely not on Christmas Eve:laugh:

[Benjamin]

Here for this

[Benjamin]

Oh which thread are we using?

[LukeB]

this one :laugh:

think that was the show yesterday

[Benjamin]

oh what show? lol

[LukeB]

The Apprentice The Final Five: I think it was called :laugh: Think they were discussing the final 5 i think, I didn't watch it as it was on at 10:35

[Braden]

If I was on this show and saw Ricky was about to grill me I would walk straight back out. :joker:

[LukeB]

:laugh2: Caught lying

[Fetch The Bolt Cutters]

cringe @ them having ricky on

[Vanessa]

If I was on this show and saw Ricky was about to grill me I would walk straight back out. :joker:

They're scary! :bawling:

[LukeB]

Mark is hot :|

[Braden]

They're scary! :bawling:

It's not even that. Claude is scary, definitely.

It's just a bit of a joke having Ricky as a qualified interviewer when he was in the same position. I haven't heard him do anything significant/special since he won. :laugh:

[LukeB]

Solomon doesn't seem like a serious person :joker:

Seems like he thinks all this is a joke :laugh:

[Braden]

Ricky is an absolute joke. :joker:

[LukeB]

Nice pink socks :joker:

[Vanessa]

These business plans! :facepalm:

[Braden]

Go Bianca :love:

[Cal.]

Bianca's is holding up the best.

[LukeB]

Seems like Bianca is doing the best :love:

[Braden]

Roisin has a bad business plan...such a shame :(

[Benjamin]

I actually think Bianca has a great business idea

[Benjamin]

I really hope Bianca makes the final :(

[Cal.]

I dislike him the most.

[Samm]

Roisin :(

[LukeB]

I predict Bianca Vs Mark in the final 2 :think:

[Samm]

Bianca is doing well tho :love:

[Benjamin]

I have a feeling Bianca will miss out, they are showing her in too good a light and then for the shock factor will fire her

[Cal.]

omg lol

[Cal.]

im pissing

[Samm]

lmao

[Benjamin]

Claude :love:

[LukeB]

:joker: I'll be shocked if he doesn't get fired

[Braden]

Poor Soloman :joker:

What the hell was he expecting with that plan though?

[Benjamin]

I really want Bianca in the final

[LukeB]

I'll be shocked if Bianca gets fired.

[Cal.]

I like this adviser:love:

[Vanessa]

:joker::laugh: Boats

[Benjamin]

uh oh

[Vanessa]

Rosheen is out! :shocked:

[Braden]

Bianca is a shoe in for the final.

I'm guessing it will be Bianca vs. Mark ...it can't be any of the others surely.

[Benjamin]

Noo Bianca :(

[Cal.]

Ugh this might tarnish her chances.

[Vanessa]

Bianca crumbling :shocked:

[Benjamin]

Go on Bianca bring it home

[Marsh.]

Bianca is such a twat. Fire the bell end.

[Cal.]

She is so clever.

The other adviser said she puts on a front, she pulled her front off for this guy!

[Benjamin]

Bianca is such a twat. Fire the bell end.

Really? I like her and think she has a much better business plan compared to the others

[Braden]

Bianca showing emotion will do her more good than harm.

[Benjamin]

I hope so

[Samm]

Changed my fav too bianca now she has fully show herself :love:

[Cal.]

Ricky has just said on Twitter that in actual real life, Bianca turned her emotions around quickly, and that she is confident and professional. So I doubt she's going to be penalized for it.

[Braden]

Changed my fav too bianca now she has fully show herself :love:

Same.

I absolutely love her after tonight.

[Benjamin]

I really hope Bianca and Mark make the final

[Crimson Dynamo]

Iv never laughed so much at claude and the soloman

Classic tv

Great series

[Jamesy]

Looks like a Biannca and Mark final judging these comments.

[Marsh.]

Really? I like her and think she has a much better business plan compared to the others

I think she's been useless every single week at the tasks.

But this is where the Apprentice annoys me nowadays. Some are sacked/put through based on task performance and for others it comes down to their business plan. Seems like a waste of time.

Like the week he fired Katie because he wasn't interested in investing in a restaurant idea. So there was no point her being accepted onto the show in the first place let alone make it 10 weeks. :laugh:

[LukeB]

I miss James </3

[Benjamin]

I swear to ****ing God if Daniel makes it into the final I will be so annoyed

[Vanessa]

I swear to ****ing God if Daniel makes it into the final I will be so annoyed

:laugh: He probably will make it.

[Benjamin]

Bye Solomon :(

[Benjamin]

Bless him :love:

[LukeB]

Daniel you're fired?

[Braden]

He literally just went through Mark & Bianca and didn't fire them? :laugh:

[Vanessa]

Daniel in the firing line.

[Benjamin]

Nope not yet, I reckon Roisin will be fired, leaving it between Bianca, Mark and daniel

[LukeB]

Roisin you're fired

[Vanessa]

Roisin is toast! :hehe:

[Benjamin]

It's like that guy from last year that vanessa loved, so good and bad business plan

[Braden]

This part of the show is the same every year.

It's a coincidence that the best candidate throughout the process always has a **** business plan.

[LukeB]

she has left her job for this uh oh

[Vanessa]

It's like that guy from last year that vanessa loved, so good and bad business plan

The hot one? :smug:

[Benjamin]

The hot one? :smug:

Oh there you are :laugh:

[Braden]

Omg maybe what erin said about Daniel making the final three is true?

[Benjamin]

-prays for Bianca-

[LukeB]

Omg maybe what erin said about Daniel making the final three is true?

spoilers?

[Benjamin]

Omg maybe what erin said about Daniel making the final three is true?

Well he is part of the final 3 lol

[Vanessa]

I think Daniel will go.

[Braden]

spoilers?

Not really because it was stated on last nights show.

We're allowed to discuss something that's already aired.

[Benjamin]

Urgh it better not be these two in the final

[LukeB]

Uh Oh

[Vanessa]

Bianca is the best of the three.

[Benjamin]

**** you daniel trying to ruin Bianca :(

[Cal.]

How pathetic if he fires Bianca just bc he's obsessed with Mark and Daniel

[LukeB]

:worry:

[LukeB]

Come on Alan don't be a prat

[Benjamin]

-prays hard for Bianca again-

[Cal.]

If he fires Bianca it's the biggest joke ever.

[Benjamin]

Oh no. he's gonna fire Bianca

[Benjamin]

Oh thank GODDDDDDDDDDDDDDD

[LukeB]

Oh phew

[Cal.]

Thank god.

[Benjamin]

Bianca vs Mark should be a good final

[Benjamin]

Bianca in the final :love:

[Braden]

My heart is probably beating faster than theirs :joker:

[LukeB]

Didn't expect Bianca to make it to final 2 when it started

[Cal.]

I can never understand how they can all trash talk each other and then congratulate each other:laugh:

[Benjamin]

I really thought he was going to fire Bianca then

[Vanessa]

I knew it! :laugh:

[Cal.]

Oh it's on Sunday night oop

[LukeB]

Sunday :amazed:

[Braden]

...Bianca is so gonna win this.

Mark's bragging is being highlighted far too much.

[Benjamin]

Luke put in the title the final is on Sunday so we all remember

[Macie Lightfoot]

YES bringing back Sarah <3333333

[Marsh.]

Renders the entire process pointless.

Just look at their business plans in week 1. The tasks are of no use anymore.

[LukeB]

Luke put in the title the final is on Sunday so we all remember

Done

[Benjamin]

:love:

[Amy Jade]

Team Bianca

[Marsh.]

Team Karren Brady.

[the truth]

great episode...the claudinator doe sit again.......poor old solomon,,,,"your cv is the most awesome ever, your business plans a disgrace, now jump out the window"

rosin spectacularly organized but no originality

daniel was doing what he knew sort of, but lacked figures and didnt really prove his salesmanship

so bianca and her tights, an enormous market place which could attract bank robbers for headgear...she seems to have organisation, determination and an idea...though lacks any experience in that field...she also lacks charisma

mark, my fave from day 1.....brilliant salesman, through researcher, looked a quality business plan, numero uno salesman.....not the best results in terms of winning teams though in the 10 weeks and search engine optimization is truly a flooded market

id make bianca the sslight favourite simply because shes in a slightly less rowded marlet place, but im intrigued to know more of their plans

[LukeB]

I Still think last years final 2 was better :love:

[Raph]

Interesting final 2, would've never called Biancca a front-runner in this but now I don't know. I really hope Mark wins as I don't really like her much and i've liked Mark since day 1. Poor Roisin though as if it was down to performance over the weeks she deserved it 100%! I would love to go into business with her. And bless Solomon he's so adorable haha

well all you need it £750,000 in a saturated market, crazy venture and her market research was non existent. her plan was embarassing, she got lost in irrelevant minutiae

[Jamesy]

The only thing that annoys me about this show is how drama is put ahead of what the actual concept of the show is.

Katie was one great example. Lord Sugar didn't like her business plan, so she had pretty much wasted filling in probably one large application, meeting with producers, writing a long business plan and wasting two or more months in London. Why even bother having her there in the first place?! Rosin is another one too, her product already existed.. if the interviewers found that pretty easily then surly she could have been written off before the show started?!

The style of interviews is poor too and a poor representation of real interviews. Claude's attitude towards Soloman being the obvious example. No handshake and then speaks in a rude manner raising his voice towards Soloman. I've observed a fair few interviews in different sectors and when you dismiss someone from the interview you talk in a calm and polite manner, don't go shouting and acting like a dick.

I understand they want drama on this show to entertain us but they still need to get the balance right. Have applications whittled down and have Lord Sugar have a good look through 50+ of the applications, writing off the ones that are completely pointless or will waste time, or ones that Lord Sugar doesn't like the business ideas of.

I can see Biancca winning, she's got a potentially great business plan, she's good at staying professional (although needs to work on making it look natural rather than robotic) and she's a bit like Leah last year, it's something LS will be unsure of but it has potential.

Mark's great but I think Lord Sugar will see him as too perfect and think he will be fine on his own and won't need the partnership/money as much as Biancca does.

[compound]

Not sure what you mean not needing the money.
Why should that stop Lord Sugar.
Everyone is screaming that Bianca has a great plan. All she really has is found a gap in the market which I for one dont believe exists or that it wont be filled before she gets her feet on the ground.
Perhaps someone can tell us exactly what gap she has found and check on google to see that it really hasnt been filled. LS says he asked his wife and she didnt seem to now either.
LS I suppose can introduce her to the supermarkets which is really all she needs. But there again he could do that with any product.
I get the feeling that this time LS has really 'lost' it. All the last lot dont really have anything he could remotely want.
Next time I am sure he will study their business plans a bit better before the show starts.

Why someone like Solomon doesnt go to a professional to prepare his business plan before the show beats me. Does one really have to sign like homework that it is all unaided.
Roisin says she is going ahead regardless. One wonders where the money will be coming from. I would say like Helen in the past one of the large food outfits should offer to employ her. I wouldnt be surprised if that happens.

[Black Dagger]

I loved seeing Ricky again :lovedup:

And Claude absolutely rinsing Solomon :joker:

[GoldHeart]

...Bianca is so gonna win this.

Mark's bragging is being highlighted far too much.

i really hope Bianca wins :fc:
but it feels like its set up for Mark to win he's favored :bored:

[Headie]

Perched for this tonight
http://i4.mirror.co.uk/incoming/article4845154.ece/alternates/s615/Mark-Wright-24-and-Bianca-Miller-25.jpg

Bianca looks good too.

[Samm]

Mark handsome?

[Braden]

Do you not think so?

I would give him a solid 9 ;)

[Black Dagger]

~would tbh~

[Benjamin]

Forgot this was on tonight :amazed:

[Braden]

I'm kind of glad that it's finishing.

I feel like I've become far too invested with this series and its candidates. :joker:

[arista]

9PM tonight


But does it really need 2 Fecking Hours Long??

[Braden]

The actual final is an hour.

You're Hired is a spin-off which usually airs on BBC2 that's added on :p

:umm2:

[Benjamin]

:laugh:

[Braden]

From the preview on last week's You're Fired...


It seems like Mark will cough-up and struggle with his presentation similarly to his pitch at Tesco's.

It probably won't affect his chances of winning.

[LukeB]

http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2014/12/21/242DB2C800000578-2882398-image-m-4_1419152366681.jpg

[LukeB]

[Benjamin]

I hope they have some old candidates from the last ten years on You're Hired tonight

[Benjamin]

I wonder if they will announce Nick's replacement or save that for next series

[Braden]

I saw the past 3 winners behind Dara at the beginning.

[Benjamin]

Oh I missed that lol

[Samm]

Lauren & Sarah :love:

[Benjamin]

LOL Mark getting Sarah :joker:

[Loukas]

Sarah being picked last :clap1:

[Samm]

Poor Sarah

[Loukas]

£35 for 1 pair of tights :umm2:

[Benjamin]

£35 for 1 pair of tights :umm2:

You know you would buy them. :hehe:

[Braden]

Sarah :love: :joker:

[Loukas]

OMG thats my local high road :laugh:
I've been to that bike shop! :laugh:

[Loukas]

You know you would buy them. :hehe:

i'll make my decision at the end of her pitch :hehe:

If she lowers it to £20 then i will be interested :laugh:

[Benjamin]

OMG thats my local high road :laugh:
I've been to that bike shop! :laugh:

Go there tomorrow and ask for his autograph

[Benjamin]

i'll make my decision at the end of her pitch :hehe:

If she lowers it to £20 then i will be interested :laugh:

:joker:

[Benjamin]

Oh God, James is talking :bored:

[Loukas]

Go there tomorrow and ask for his autograph

not worth it, like in the slightest :hehe:

[Benjamin]

not worth it, like in the slightest :hehe:

Go there and sleep with him then in your new tights ;)

[Loukas]

Marks smile is one of the only things that make him attractive, maybe that and his eyes.

[Loukas]

Go there and sleep with him then in your new tights ;)

not my type :laugh:
£20 tights for some cheap fling with a bike shop owner, i think not :laugh:

[Crimson Dynamo]

The forehead and the racist tights


Smh

[Benjamin]

not my type :laugh:
£20 tights for some cheap fling with a bike shop owner, i think not :laugh:

Sure you have done worse :pipe:

[Braden]

Bianca's business already looks fabulous.

Naming the skin tones with female names is a great idea.

[Benjamin]

I still feel Mark will win as Sugar will trust him more as he has been in his field of business :worry:

[Marsh.]

Where is Roisin? :sad:

[Crimson Dynamo]

Mark is a shoe in

[Crimson Dynamo]

Where is Roisin? :sad:

Her eyes

swoon

[Marsh.]

The forehead and the racist tights


Smh

:joker:

[Braden]

I agree, Ben :(

I don't think Lord Sugar will take a risk. And there seems to be controversy surrounding Bianca's business plan as there is a similar plan already.

[Crimson Dynamo]

Go mark

[Marsh.]

I don't like Bianca's logo designs. Looks too much like they sell printer ink.

[Crimson Dynamo]

Sarah

What a delicious slut

[Benjamin]

Solomon and his pink socks lol

[Crimson Dynamo]

Boo to the Mekong

[Marsh.]

But if they threw bright colours in there then it wouldn't be "skin tones". :crazy:

[Jay28jay2]

Katie miming Bianca's Advertisement Campagne :love::lovedup:

[Loukas]

I don't like Bianca's logo designs. Looks too much like they sell printer ink.

omg yes :laugh2:

[Crimson Dynamo]

The grim tights

Ew

[Marsh.]

Where is Roisin though?

[Crimson Dynamo]

Mark struggling to speak again. :fan:

:nono: Australian people have few words

[Braden]

It was quite bitchy of Bianca to tell them to go home.

[Benjamin]

I quite like both business plans tbh

[Crimson Dynamo]

Where is Roisin though?

Dont

My perch has snapped

[Benjamin]

:nono: Australian people have few words

No they don't, I used to live in Australia. :laugh:

[Marsh.]

Dont

My perch has snapped

:joker:

[Jamesy]

Biancca sending them home is a mistake. Opinions help you shape something, telling them to bugger off is poor

[Braden]

Weird how Mark conveniently mentioned his crap pitch...I wonder what's going to happen now.

[Benjamin]

Didn't Luisa mess her pitch up last year in the final?

[Braden]

I think so.

I vaguely remember her crying afterwards.

[Benjamin]

Sarah being worth while now, shame she wasn't like this when she was in the process.

[Marsh.]

What was Luisa's business idea?

[Benjamin]

What was Luisa's business idea?

The online business for bakery goods/utensils/ingredients etc

[Braden]

Something to do with kitchen utensils and selling them online.

[Loukas]

What was Luisa's business idea?

Expanding her cupcake businesses i think?

[Loukas]

The online business for bakery goods/utensils/ingredients etc

yeah it's this i think

[Benjamin]

sometimes Mark looks hot, other times he looks rough as ****

[Crimson Dynamo]

What was Luisa's business idea?

*****mongering

[Benjamin]

*****mongering

No, that's her hobby

[Marsh.]

sometimes Mark looks hot, other times he looks rough as ****

"This is a luxury product".

[Marsh.]

If I was Mark I'd have sent James home on Day 1.

[Loukas]

[Loukas]

[Crimson Dynamo]

"Hey big girl, you are beautiful".

:hmph:



My chest is 44

[Jay28jay2]

I feel uncomfortable watching these people look miserable af

[LukeB]

Mark looks like he should work as a tennis coach in that video

[Braden]

Mark's smile is the best.

I love how his eyes light up. :flutter:

[Benjamin]

[Jay28jay2]

Alan needs to the right job and give Biannca the investment already.

[Marsh.]

Marsh, let me be your front door

[Loukas]

Mark's smile is the best.

I love how his eyes light up. :flutter:
