Claude coming for Courtney is a howl

It was amazing :joker:

Hey, if Claude thinks Courtney's boring, he probably is boring

[MB.]

Just let her go through the alphabet, she'll land on the right Irish name by 2023

[reece(:]

The amount of arguments this episode <3 Not "harassed by Bonnie and Clyde in the other car"


Alana's redemption era <33

[MB.]

Someone should tweet her and tell her it's actually Siobhan just to mess with her head

[Jason.]

omfg Narinder :love:

Someone should tweet her and tell her it's actually Siobhan just to mess with her head

:joker:

[LukeB]

Someone should tweet her and tell her it's actually Siobhan just to mess with her head

I'm tempted.

[TomC]

btw I like how you say the show is a parody of its former self yet support the messiest, most incompetent, ridiculous caricatures in the entire cast

Why should I support the person who's the best business person when it's not a series business competition anymore?

I gave up trying to look for good reasons why people should win about three years ago :worry:

[MB.]

It's not a serious business competition like the X Factor's not a serious singing competition and Survivor's not a nature documentary

[MB.]

Or like CBB is the same show that saw Les Dennis nearly commit suicide in front of a chicken for charity

[Jason.]

Yeah idg your sudden criticism of TA becoming a parody of itself or whatnot, I mean admittedly I've only seen 4 series but surely it's always been an entertainment show and they've always cast messy people for entertainment purposes?

I think you take this show too seriously tbh if you view it as some sort of prestigious business competition

[TomC]

It's not a serious business competition like the X Factor's not a serious singing competition and Survivor's not a nature documentary

It was at one point and you know it!

Yeah it's always been an entertainment show but what they think people define as entertaining has very much changed. Now they seem to think we just enjoy seeing dumbasses fail whereas once upon a time, it was about putting fourteen reputable business people together and making them work on tasks; natural results are always best.

Idk, for me this is just the year TA stopped being interesting, but that's just how I feel.

[Calderyon]

When watching, i thought the twp products were equal on which one was going to win, but in hindsight there were too many problems inside of the all womens team for them to win.
Grainne should have really been fired after this as she has been terrible in these tasks far too much, yet she gets saved time after time... un-deservedly. If she gets to final two, it will be an error, but i wouldn´t be shocked.

But i guess the color was the thing that solidified the loss and that´s why Trishna is gone.

After tonight, i´m pretty sure that Jessica and Alana are the final two with Grainne and Frances as easy boots and Courtney just missing it by an inch.

[caprimint]

Well this episode was a gigantic mess, Courtney is a complete bore and I don't get what anyone sees in him, reaaaally hope he goes next week

****ing screaming at Trishna making all that noise during the pitch :joker: her and Grainne were useless tho, hope she goes next week too

Jess and Frances remain the best :love:
Courtney is the one who makes me laugh the most, I think he's far from boring... In fact I really couldn't call any of this top 5 'boring', they've all had iconic and entertaining moments.

Wtf is a Narinder?

And is she really gonna use that one? They all do it so why she's trying to call out Grainne only on it I don't know :facepalm:

It was amazing :joker:

Hey, if Claude thinks Courtney's boring, he probably is boring
Claude knows all too well about being a bore I guess :pipe:

[Nicky91]

phew i was worried for one moment though, happy Courtney's team won the challenge, and Alana was so funny with her as a scientist :laugh:

[Jake.]

Scientist?

[Nicky91]

Scientist?

with the test tubes, creating that cocktail, i found that funny of her, and the whole Gin looked good, food colouring is never good for a drink, it makes it look disgusting of the other team :hehe:

I really couldn't tell you anything Courtney's done, especially in comparison to some of the other amazing males there's been this year like Karthik, Sofiane and Dillon. I just Don't Get It.

And Claude is far from a bore lol, he's been the staple point of the interviews for years, it's the reason he got the job as an aide

[caprimint]

Karthik was obviously the most entertaining but I'd rank Courtney after that. Sofiane and Dillon were nothing special. :shrug:

Meh @ Claude, I wouldn't miss him if he wasn't on the show...he's just there for the most part. Even Karren is better tbh.

[reece(:]

The most surprising thing about Claude is that he's actually a pleasant man!

[Gstar]

That episode was brutal!! Not happy about Trishna being fired :(

[Nicky91]

That episode was brutal!! Not happy about Trishna being fired :(

it should've definitely been Grainne :( :(

[Calderyon]

Grainne has been lucky, nothing else. She used to be quite good and capable, now she is just slacking and underachieving on a regular basis. She should´ve gone weeks ago.

Maybe Lord Sugar has got the hots for her?

[Epic.]

claude :love:

Claude had the best quote of the entire season

"Courtney is incredibly boring"

[Jason.]

Karthik was entertaining but I find him overrated. He was really annoying in the early weeks. Sofiane was always tragic and by the time Dillon was fired, I didn't really care at all for him.

[caprimint]

Grainne didn't deserve to be fired imo, she's got a real lot of potential and I think Lord Sugar knows that. She always brings up valid points, is 100% honest and can admit to her mistakes (and doesn't randomly point the blame at someone else). She or Courtney would be the people I'd want to work with most tbh.

[reece(:]

Shook at Grainne having a 15 year old son

"...don't do that, we have to sell it!"
"Nobody's listening to me today and it's really starting to piss me off - apart from... not you"
"I've had a very interesting experience in this distillery. Lot of alcohol consumed. Think I need sleep now"
"We need to pronounce it as ghin or zhin"
"I've got slight negative connotations with the word colony"
"Should have learnt how to open an easel up before I started. Is that it? Nope"

"I really need a drink after that"
"The aftertaste, did you taste that after?"
"I think of the, err, the prisons basically"
"That's Africa though"
"I find it very patronising, I find it very underminding, and I find it really, really game-playing... to make me self-doubt myself"
"It went very well, they just didn't like the colour of it... or the name"
"Final five, final five!... sorry"
"Let's go before they can change their mind"

"19 missed calls! She was getting pissed in the distillery!"
"I didn't go out to the market research with a horrible face"
"Trishna, you're fired" "No problem"
"HEY BITCHES"

What a quote bank of an episode :love:

Waffle-off still makes me scream :love:

Yeah i agree, Trishna lost them the task so it was the right decision, despite holding back for two episodes shes still a strong business woman.

[Calderyon]

I think she has been terrible for at least 3 episodes. Weakest or second weakest of the current candidates. Should have gone three weeks ago really.

Hopefully she´ll be among the 3 fired next week. If not and she is one of the final two, the one next to her should gain an easy victory over her. Her winning at this point would be at least a minor travesty.

i think she could be one of the 3 fired next week, now she's on very very thin ice with Lord Sugar :)

[caprimint]

So is Frances though :omgno:

And realistically I bet a lot of people thought Trishna would be part of the final 5 (I know I did) and unexpected results always happen especially at this stage of the show. The only thing I feel 99% sure about is Frances not being in the f2.

[reece(:]

Sugar just knew he could not work effectively with Trishna, considering her moods and attitude.

Sugar must be having an affair with her , why has he kept her in this long !! Omg what a joke :suspect::rant: , people who have done much better than Grainne have been fired like what the hell .

she should of gone weeks ago so either Sugar fancies her or she's related to him secretly so he's biased

[Firewire]

LMAO the reaching

She stayed because she is a strong business woman and Alan must feel he can work with her and is a strong investment. She may have stepped back but that doesn't mean anything, others have been pretty weak and Alan can't work with them, Paul with his aggression, Trishna with her moods and she easily was the weakest this episode because who make gin orange? it looked like whisky and she refused to change it when pitching. Grainne admits her mistakes other people don't

:laugh3: Grainne doesn't admit jack all stop pretending she's a good person , last week all she did was come up with the crappy name "magic shells":bored: and she wouldn't admit that she did nothing to contribute to the team she's useless and she's a rubbish business person and should of gone weeks ago

[caprimint]

The name of the game wasn't the problem - it was the thought behind it which Dillon had come up with therefore he deserved to get fired. Not to mention the fact that he's probably been even quieter than Grainne throughout the process and only really spoke when there was something fashion related he could get involved with but still failed to deliver.

And Sofiane's mess obviously but as if that needs explaining (although it might at this rate)

[Calderyon]

I disagree. You also might forget the episode where Karthik and Samuel were fired. Where she yet again got away scot free and was exempt of being nominated, even though she was the sub team leader and should have faced the boardroom along with two contestants of her choice. Not just being safe by default just because. Courtney should have faced the boardroom too. Both of them were horrible in that task because they ignored most of the potential buyers, only stuck with the previously arranged ones and ultimately failed to sell anything. Karthik was a horrible PM though and deserved to be booted. But she should at least have been at least been in the mix, not such been made safe by default.

I just think she is favored too much by Mr. Sugar and forgiven too much of her mistakes compared to others. Even though she should have already been fired 3 times and doesn´t/hasn´t really one that much to deserve the favoring. She might have been good and top form in the early episodes, but her stock has gone way down after that. I just don´t buy her as a good businesswoman anymore.

That being said, the level of incompetence of the candidates this season has been shocking.

:clap1:

I get the impression people on here who support Grainne some how see her through rose tinted glasses :bored: and they defend every pathetic mistake she makes , she's useless and i stand by it !! i actually can't remember when she shined so it must of been very very early in this series .

Like i said even when she was PM in the fashion task she messed up big time and Sugar ignored it and only fired Mukai like what the hell :facepalm::crazy: . It's deffo been more than 3 occasions she's messed up and shown incompetence , I don't understand why Sugar favours her so much now i know why people think it's scripted like the producers influence his choices for ratings etc .

i'm convinced he has a nauseating soft spot for Grainne why i'll never know when she's as rough as old nails and so crap in challenges , like i said if she get's to the final 2 then i'm not watching it infact i'm already losing interest in the show

[caprimint]

Whether he has a soft spot for her is unknown, but he does for a select amount of people every series to an extent, so it shouldn't really be something that surprises you all that much.

But it's not really even a problem I don't think. We all do that in general life instances. Like if a friend said something you were annoyed by, but then another person did the same who you disliked you'd most likely treat the situation differently. :shrug:

[MB.]

Guys I'm starting to think that GoldHeart might not like Grainne all that much

[caprimint]

Guys I'm starting to think that GoldHeart might not like Grainne all that much
What on earth gives you that impression :o

[Nicky91]

Guys I'm starting to think that GoldHeart might not like Grainne all that much

well i also do not like Grainne :hehe:, so leave GoldHeart alone :fist:

[GoldHeart]

What on earth gives you that impression :o

Oh because i'm the only person in this forum that thinks Grainne should of been fired ?? :whistle: , actually atleast 2 other forum members agree with me on here and i don't have to like Grainne :idc:

[Nicky91]

Oh because i'm the only person in this forum that thinks Grainne should of been fired ?? :whistle: , actually atleast 2 other forum members agree with me on here and i don't have to like Grainne :idc:

well you are definitely not the only person who thinks Grainne should have been fired, i also think the same :)

[GoldHeart]

well you are definitely not the only person who thinks Grainne should have been fired, i also think the same :)

Exactly my point :clap1:

[Daniel-X]

Jupiner...jupiner...jupiner...sorry is practically a psalm

When did anybody say you did? :suspect:

[Epic.]

Grainne is Roisin if she was an over the top comic relief and had a reverse Win-Loss ratio

[reece(:]

Grainne evoking such emotions <3

[caprimint]

Grainne evoking such emotions <3
So much for being 'dull' :fan:

[GoldHeart]

So much for being 'dull' :fan:

She is dull :bored: , I've seen dish water In my sink more interesting than her :laugh2:

[MB.]

Not the most warranted use of :laugh2: really, is it

[caprimint]

She is dull :bored: , I've seen dish water In my sink more interesting than her :laugh2:
What colour fairy liquid do you use?! :amazed:

[Epic.]

Grainne is many things but she is not dull

[Jason.]

The Grainne jealousy is getting a tad tedious now tbh.

[reece(:]

The Grainne jealousy is getting a tad tedious now tbh.
They want her icy crown

[Cherie]

I love tipsy Grainne

[Epic.]

It's so weird that Grainne is a reverse Roisin yet she's looking likely to win

[MB.]

lol she isn't

(unless she was the person spoiled by Lord Sugar, since I haven't bothered looking. But still, lol she isn't)

[Gstar]

Omg Roisin :worship: :lovedup:

[caprimint]

Roisin was amazing too. :love: I prefer Grainne though.

[GoldHeart]

They want her icy crown

Yeah sure that must be it :laugh3::crazy: , why is it nobody can dislike a contestant/candidate on a tv show without being accused of jealousy like really??? how cliche' and what exactly are we jealous of ? :sleep: . She's boring in the sense of she's cold and has a bitchy personality and she's messed up on numerous times and brings nothing to tasks .

Atleast Jessica gets out there and wins people over even if she get's a bit hyper and flustered she's still a more likeable person infact most of them are likeable except for Grainne and i find Courtney inexperienced and he lacks confidence and he looks like a kid on work experience lol so even he should of been fired too .

[caprimint]

Grainne and Courtney for f2 :dance:

[MB.]

You can also dislike a contestant on a reality TV show without accusing them of being related to the host/dating the host/both

[GoldHeart]

You can also dislike a contestant on a reality TV show without accusing them of being related to the host/dating the host/both

Well to me it looks like favouritism because if someone else had messed up this often like Alana or Trishna then you'd be saying "why are they still there" ?? "why hasn't sugar fired them" and so on don't deny it :nono: .

Atleast Frances has redeemed herself in tasks but i'm guessing she wont last much longer and i'm surprised she's lasted this long :rolleyes:

[caprimint]

Pretty sure Alana is MB's fave so probably not

[GoldHeart]

Pretty sure Alana is MB's fave so probably not

MB ???

[MB.]

Yeah who on earth is MB

[GoldHeart]

Yeah who on earth is MB

I've no idea that's what i was asking :conf::laugh2:

[Nicky91]

well i want Alana and Jessica as the final 2 :)

[Epic.]

Watch Jessica win http://gifrific.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/Michael-Scott-and-Dwight-Schrute-Raise-the-Roof.gif
