The Apprentice Episode 8 Discussion Thread

[Ross.]

Um why wasn't there a thread :idc:

Karen went in on Dillon :joker: I screamed

Paul going :clap1: Jessica lives on!

[LukeB]

Not a discussion thread after its finished.

[Ross.]

I need somewhere to post my opinions :idc:

[Pete.]

Paul the bully going :love:

[Oaker]

Trash Paul is gone :clap1:

Jessica ended him :clap1:

[Jake.]

I'm glad Jessica stayed and Paul went, she was clearly neing made the scapegoat

[Jason.]

Omg I howled at Karren constantly dropping shade on Dillon in the BR. She's such a bitch this series :joker:

[Jake.]

karen's a bitch to the point she's unpleasant

[Pete.]

karen's a bitch to the point she's unpleasant
Karren is the best bit about the Apprentice

[Jason.]

karen's a bitch to the point she's unpleasant

She is this year. I like her in the other series I've seen though but she just has nothing nice to say at all about anyone this series. :/

It pissed me off when she criticised Alana for being pathetic during that one task where she was "too girly" when securing the deal - it got the job done and she got the item for a good price so it wasn't needed.

[Ross.]

You ****ing wot

[Oaker]

I've liked Claude more than Karren this year tbh

[Ross.]

"We only have 15 minutes!"

"No, your guests are waiting at the door"

"We have zero minutes!"

[Jason.]

Oh and Paul was human garbage and tonight furthered that so good riddance

[Amy Jade]

Paul bullying Jessica :nono:

She got £35 a ticket, the tickets were £22 so giving them free food wasn't really an issue. Hope Alan drags him.

[Jake.]

omg i was literally about to post the same thing re Alana

Karen seems to believe that there's one way of doing business and one way only.. If you manage to sell, you manage to sell. I'm pretty sure Sugar would agree. She constantly has a face like a smacked arse and squeezes the fun out of anything like juice from a grape. Claude isn't only superior, he actually seems like a nice person under the persona.

[Jake.]

You ****ing wot

you heard!

[EspeonBB]

Paul the bully going :love: Jessica and Frances are my two faves so I'm overjoyed they stayed

[Oaker]

Honestly unless Sofianne somehow makes the final I'll be happy with whoever wins now

[Jason.]

Alana is an underrated legend.

Thoughts?

[EspeonBB]

I agree with Karren being awful this year. I used to find her cutting comments funny but now it seems like she's playing up to it, and as Jason & Jake said her comments about Alana on the selling task were terrible

[Ross.]

Alana is an underrated legend.

Thoughts?

Confirmed

She's developed into a really good candidate :love:

[Jake.]

Alana is an underrated legend.

Thoughts?

yeah she's good

[Amy Jade]

I agree re Karren criticism of Alana being girly to get what ahe wants and having a pop at Dillon, even if he was a bit cringe there were plenty of patrons enjoying his personality not one guest wanted a refund and the guy Alana was a bit flirty with gave her a great price - both got the job done so why is Karren sitting there slating the candidates?

[Jason.]

Confirmed

She's developed into a really good candidate :love:

I'd love if she made it to the interviews <3. I'm doubtful though because a lot of people (including Karren) tend to use the fact she's quiet and not as 'out there' as the others as a stick to beat her with for being unconfident etc and it may go against her.

I'm just glad she's blossomed tbh and made it to at least Week 9 :clap1:

[EspeonBB]

I also really like Alana and I'm here for her underdog arc. Hopefully she drags Karren at some point

[Ross.]

Lowkey like the Grainne/Courtney duo even though they're kinda hopeless together

[Jason.]

As do I ^

[caprimint]

Lowkey like the Grainne/Courtney duo even though they're kinda hopeless together
It's my fave thing :love:

[Jack_]

Queen Jessica and Princess Frances slaying Paul :love: he was awful tonight so good riddance

I've actually found Karren way funnier than usual this series, it's her facial expressions in the background that get me :joker: :joker: when she got splashed on the boat last week it was amazing <3 yes she's a bitch and her criticisms aren't always well placed but eh, it's The Apprentice, they know what they're signing up for so idc

Next week's task looks amazing :clap1: they've been really good this year actually, although I have missed the abroad trip

[Gstar]

Paul not bringing Soffian back to the boardroom sealed his fate

[caprimint]

Paul not bringing Soffian back to the boardroom sealed his fate
He obviously just brought back Frances to save himself tbh but it backfired thankfully.

[MB.]

Dillon miming along to The Little Mermaid :love: Dillon asking if they can put water effects on the screen at an aquarium :love: Dillon's idea of adult entertainment being throwing a few balls on the floor :love: Get that breakout ep

This was another really good episode in general, actually, and even I've no idea how Titans won, I'm glad they did because they're the much superior team (Grainne and Courtney being useless as a pair and lowkey hating one another, "ohoy mate", Alana doing nothing all day but slag off the mermaids <3)

Bye Paul I guess

[Jack_]

He obviously just brought back Frances to save himself tbh but it backfired thankfully.

I thought you stanned Paul? :laugh:

[caprimint]

I thought you stanned Paul? :laugh:
He was one of my faves in the first few episodes but he progressively got worse. :worry:

[MB.]

Things I missed watching the show: Jessica selling her event by promising that there'd be Russian roulette :love:

[Firewire]

Loving this series now

Jess :love:

Bye Paul x

[MB.]

"This event is so unorganised!!!" -reels off a list of organised things happening at the event-

ugh foadiaf Karren

[Firewire]

Courtney was so hot as a pirate sorry

[MB.]

Well it's slim pickings this year but I can see it, yes

(also I'm not sure if they weren't allowed to refer to Madame Tussaud's by name because they kept calling it "the famous waxworks")

[Nicky91]

Loving this series now

Jess :love:

Bye Paul x

and also Alana i think she and Jess could be our top 2 this year :)

[GoldHeart]

Paul was an arrogant nuisance he always acts as though he has good ideas and then as pm he confuses his team and treats them like idiots and that full blown argument with Jessica was so unprofessional in front of the customer's , i don't know how he's lasted this far in the show!:shocked: he even kept answering back to Sugar :rolleyes: . he didn't have a clue what he was doing in the task and his team mates panicked and pulled out random prices and it was awkward and messy

[reece(:]

I howled at Paul whining in the boardroom, he was almost asking to be fired.

[reece(:]

Grainne and Courtney together :love:

[Firewire]

Grainne and Courtney together :love:

Loving that duo :love:

[MB.]

I would suggest final two but this cast is so good that they'll have to settle for, like, 6th and 3rd maybe?

[Jason.]

I'm glad I'm not the only one who likes this cast tbh.

I like everyone left bar Soffiane.

[Firewire]

I like Soffiane tbh

But I'd rather he went over, well, everyone else

[Firewire]

This is such a good cast, best since series 9

[EspeonBB]

Sofiane is the worst person in the cast but I'd take him over like half of last year's cast

[Ross.]

I would suggest final two but this cast is so good that they'll have to settle for, like, 6th and 3rd maybe?

Grainne WILL win, know that

[MB.]

Grainne the wainne? http://i.imgur.com/yqFrse4.gif

[EspeonBB]

Frances is winning tho

[MB.]

(actually I think it's between Jess, Frances and Trishna but that's another matter entirely)

[reece(:]

Grainne's weekly facebook live that lasts two mins is iconic <3

[EspeonBB]

(actually I think it's between Jess, Frances and Trishna but that's another matter entirely)

I love Jessica but she's definitely not winning :joker: I think if Trishna won they wouldn't stick her with the irrel edit

I think it's between Frances and Grainne

[Ross.]

remember when Aleksandra just walked out

[LukeB]

Has this season been good? I have not watched since week 3

[MB.]

Yes

[EspeonBB]

Has this season been good? I have not watched since week 3

Yes, everyone is super incompetent but it's really enjoyable

[caprimint]

Has this season been good? I have not watched since week 3
Yeah imo it's gotten better as it's progressed.

I actually feel like the majority (except Trishna) are all likeable as people as well.

[Firewire]

I think it's between Frances and Grainne tbh

Second best final two ever?

[Oaker]

The fact that Frances is the most likely winner even though she didn't win a task until week 7 <3

[Firewire]

The fact that Frances is the most likely winner even though she didn't win a task until week 7 <3

Queen of coasting

[Daniel-X]

Ugh I adore Frances and Jessica, I loved when they both broke down in the boardroom

[Ross.]

Frances is adorable

[EspeonBB]

Frances will be the best winner since Dr. Leah :love:

[MB.]

I mean the bar's currently set at ****ing Waluigi

[reece(:]

remember when Aleksandra just walked out

Has this season been good? I have not watched since week 3
Aleksandra teas

[Ross.]

Aleksandra teas

:joker:

[MB.]

Remember when Aleksandra threatened to reveal the "real reason" behind why she left and nobody cared so she didn't

[Ross.]

Remember Natalie

[MB.]

We will never forget Natalie

[Ross.]

When JD was the project manager but went back to the house for Netflix and chill

[MB.]

Remember Shelley Smith

[Ross.]

Michelle's fringe was scary

[MB.]

Remember when the girls filmed their advert for high quality jeans in the toilet of a Japanese restaurant

[reece(:]

Rebecca looking for soap and finding soup <3

[MB.]

Remember when Samuel pretended to carry out a hit and run

[caprimint]

Remember when Alana was in the boardroom in week 1 and is now a potential finalist :clap1:

[Nicky91]

Alana a potential finalist :flutter: let's hope so :)

[GoldHeart]

Alana a potential finalist :flutter: let's hope so :)

Alana seems like a nice person but if she's not careful she could be another Rebecca and as we know nice people finish last in the cut throat business world :rolleyes: . She sometimes takes a back seat but she probably lacks confidence because when she does try and suggest something she doesn't always get taken serious , but i hope she comes back strong like when she was pm in the sweet / candy challenge she did really well in that :)

[Nicky91]

yeah well i rather have Alana as my business partner, if i had to choose between all remaining contestants, she's nice and someone who i could trust i think :)


Dillon, for one is someone who i find sly, definitely agree with Alana about him :laugh:

I think Dillon like a few of the others are boot lickers :laugh2:, You can just tell some of them would grovel in front of Sugar and suck up like teachers pet :bored: . Even though I didn't like Paul and he was very arrogant and rude atleast he wasn't afraid of Sugar his attitude was bad though :hehe: I didn't miss him getting kicked off .

What did Alana call Dillon sly about??? I've forgotten

[Nicky91]

that was with the fishing equipment, at the boat show :)

anyway Lord Sugar is only following Alana on twitter, might be another clue or spoiler about the show

[GoldHeart]

I wouldn't exactly say that's a clue :think: lol so don't get your hopes up , maybe Sugar is trying to lead us up the garden path after all nothing is suppose to be given away until we actually see the outcome on tv :nono:

[Calderyon]

Nebula returned to their losing roots and Paul has finally been fired. Deservedly. Although anyone from that team deserved a boot.

Not really convinced with this lot that is left. Strangely Alana seems to be the one with the one with most chance to win along with Trishna.

The edit suggests though that the final 2 is going to be a mixture of Jessica, Alana, Trishna and Courtney.

Courtney lacks experience he even looks like he's still in school:joker:, Jessica gets flustered and has a hyper bubbly personality that is her pro & con but I get impression she really wants to do well .
Trishna seems serious but driven and Alana is another one who really wants to do well and seems like a nice person .

I was glad Paul got fired but I would of been happier if Grainne went too , she's messed up like twice and she's so stuck up and hard faced

[Nicky91]

yeah maybe you're right, but i would find Alana a deserving winner, she has really grown on the show, i find her one of the best candidates of the remaining 8 :)

Trishna or Dillon to go next please, and apparently from what i've heard on Digitalspy Alana, Frances and Dillon were all seen on You're fired the after show, filming, so one of Trishna, Courtney or Jessica to go this week perhaps

[GoldHeart]

I want Grainne to go next I don't like her :nono:. She comes across as a bitch

[Firewire]

Because she's a woman?

She's literally done nothing to be portrayed that way

[Calderyon]

She has been fairly incompetent for the past two episodes, so i wouldn´t be opposed to that. But then again, so are the rest of them.

[Nicky91]

well Grainne could go tonight i think, i've got my own sources :hee:

[GoldHeart]

:laugh2: yeah exactly she's messed up with sales so yeah she's done nothing, and don't be silly I'm a woman myself but people like Alana , Frances etc are more likeable whereas Grainne is just hard faced and she has a snappy tone , she just seems like the female Paul ( yes they all argue but some worse than others) . The week her & Courtney messed up on the jet ski sales she should of gone :facepalm:

[GoldHeart]

well Grainne could go tonight i think, i've got my own sources :hee:

I hope so :fc: , she's been sailing through like a lucky smug person :inamood:

[Firewire]

Being unable to sell a jet ski =/= a bitch

but whatever continue

[Nicky91]

The week her & Courtney messed up on the jet ski sales she should of gone :facepalm:

Alana is just someone you would be happy to get along with i think, i very much prefer the likes of Frances and Alana above Grainne as a businesswoman, more likeable nice faces


and personality is very important in business, Grainne is just a bit too cold and slightly bossy to me :laugh:

[GoldHeart]

Being unable to sell a jet ski =/= a bitch

but whatever continue

:facepalm: :laugh3:Did you see what else I said ?? It isn't just that plus last week she messed up on the Aquarium tour with SALES again , further back when they did the liberty retail challenge she mis placed her group and almost sabotaged herself she was a rubbish PM no proper teamwork and she comes across unlikeable and very stuck up !!! . Interesting how she's getting on with Courtney so well and smiling ( she rarely looks happy) but then again Courtney is just as incompetent as her :bored: I would not trust her she's the type to give a fake smile and then stab you in the back and when she argues it grates on me like when Paul use to argue .

[caprimint]

Grainne just doesn't let people walk all over her. :shrug: Doesn't make her a bitch.

[GoldHeart]

Alana is just someone you would be happy to get along with i think, i very much prefer the likes of Frances and Alana above Grainne as a businesswoman, more likeable nice faces


and personality is very important in business, Grainne is just a bit too cold and slightly bossy to me :laugh:

Exactly my point :clap1: .
Even Jessica is more likeable she's just a bit goofy , her problem though is she gets confused and flustered / emotional :rolleyes:

[Nicky91]

I hope so :fc: , she's been sailing through like a lucky smug person :inamood:

yeah, i think she has just been Lucky all those weeks, that there were worse candidates :)

[MB.]

So is there a thread for this week or

[Ross.]

well Grainne could go tonight i think, i've got my own sources :hee:

Sure jan!
