The Apprentice Episode 9 Discussion

[Wizard.]

Omg I predicted that Bushra would be fired and yass at Elizabeth clinging on by the skin of her teeth

[Jason.]

Sarah should've been fired just for being a boring skank.

[MB.]

I legitimately howled at Bushra making a Donald Trump joke in the middle of their pitch

[RileyH]

Sarah should've been fired just for being a boring skank.

I like her

[RileyH]

ugh I'm so happy for Liz :love: Bushra was tragic

[Withano]

GENUINELY the most I have ever laughed in the space of an hour. Elizabeth is an absolute national treasure. I just made her my Facebook cover photo.

[Jason.]

:joker:

[Daniel-X]

Thought it was a pisstake that Harrison's team won, Sarah's struggled with their pitch but overall their product was 1000x stronger than Harrison's.

Elizabeth ftw! :love:

[Daniel-X]

Sarah's teams pitch did make me scream tho. Michaela is officially cancelled! A dogmatic wench.

[Jason.]

I like her

Your opinions don't count.

[Vanessa]

Bushra Donald Tump joke :umm2:

[Wizard.]

Elizabeth ftw! :love:

I know their product was the best by miles and they only needed one more vote to make it a tie.

I literally cringed so hard at the pitch I couldn’t look at the telly

[Matthew.]

Ok i love elizabeth right now, she’s like a businessy miranda hart

[Wizard.]

Sarah should've been fired just for being a boring skank.

She has been boring but she’s shot way up after sticking up for Elizabeth and throwing her biggest competition under the bus!

[MB.]

also lmao at this being the second food/drink marketing task in a row in which the losing team accidentally name their product after a bloody and brutal period of history :love:

[Jason.]

Where's Ashley

I need her to gif Karen's reaction to the water boiling over and her whispering to Claude after Bushra's joke

[Wizard.]

True but when I was a kid our Christian social group was called The Crusaders

[RileyH]

Your opinions don't count.

why not :oh:

[Vanessa]

James : gorgeous and he can cook :love:

[Oaker]

Liz somehow surviving again wtf :love:

[Wizard.]

[Vanessa]

James in his underwear at the start! Omfg :drool:

[Daniel-X]

Guessing the interviews will be Elizabeth, Jade, Sarah, James and Michaela. Joanna and Harrison fired next week is my prediction.

[Jason.]

Jade is such a twat.

The way she kept shutting down our Joanna and making her cry.

[Jason.]

Double post.

[RileyH]

James in his underwear at the start! Omfg :drool:

:flutter:

[Vanessa]

:flutter:

He's so fricking hot! Can we have him on cbb ? :lovedup:

[Amy Jade]

He's so fricking hot! Can we have him on cbb ? :lovedup:

No he would be dull as he has no personality

[Vanessa]

No he would be dull as he has no personality

I think hr would fit right in. :laugh:

[Firewire]

I cam in here to express my thoughts on the episode but I've been put off now.

[MB.]

Elizabeth in her underwear! Omfg :drool:

[Vanessa]

I like Elisabeth, but she annoyed me tonight. Does she have to take over everything? James was better off doing the cooking. He was clearly better.

[Daniel-X]

Elizabeth in her underwear! Omfg :drool:

GOOD ****ING BYe :joker:

[Firewire]

Don't think so. Did you see her chop the celery? Legends only.

[Jason.]

Don't think so. Did you see her chop the celery? Legends only.

Nigella shook

[Daniel-X]

Don't think so. Did you see her chop the celery? Legends only.

The way she burned crisped the salmon :love:

[MB.]

Elizabeth somehow managing to make the salmon both burnt and raw :love:

[Firewire]

Nigella shook

She's cancelled her Xmas programming

The way she burned crisped the salmon :love:

Gourmet crusader :love:

[lewis111]

Wrong team won IMO but Bushra has been a moody cow since about week 3 so no real loss to the show

Sugar seems to love Elizabeth, I think we all know she should've gone a long time ago but he keeps her hanging on cause she is the best TV we've seen all year

[lewis111]

I was so raging at Jade, didn't like the way she was treating Joanna at all - but Joanna is more classy so just held her tongue and squatted next to the vending machine

[TomC]

That was an amazing episode. Great drama and lots of hilarious moments.

Jade wasn't good in this episode. She really wasn't fun for Joanna to work with :(

Elizabeth's pleading to LS :love:

[Ross.]

Lmao Elizabeth talking herself into being saved <3 <3 <3

[Ross.]

Joanna is an underrated moody legend

[EspeonBB]

This series has been a scream but I still prefer last years series (unpopular opinion?), I don't really love anyone this year as much as I loved Jessica and Alana last year

Elizabeth somehow surviving 3 boardrooms :love: Rooting for an Elizabeth/Michaela/Harrison/Joanna final 4.

[Greg!]

Only saw like the last 10 mins but I am so PROUD of our Liz for her passionate speech that saved ha. One of the best candidates ever! LEGENDARY WOMAN!

[TomC]

I'm struggling for someone to LOVE this year too but last year was way worse for me lmao. Last time I realllly wanted someone to win and the had a chance was Vana. And Leah before that.

[EspeonBB]

The public want Liz to win, Lord Sugar should satisfy our demands

Sarah should have been fired she seems non existent

I only like Michaela,Liz,James and Harrison.. the rest can go

i fully agree. I just don't see it happening ://

[EspeonBB]

i fully agree. I just don't see it happening ://

Yeah I think Michaela, Sarah Plain or Harrison will win based on the edit. James maybe has an outside shot, he should've been fired during the car task so he probably has a good business plan

[TomC]

I think Jade's in with a good shot. I can totally see a Jade/Sarah F2. Michaela seems a bit too messy, and Harrison's just Harrison.

[TomC]

ughhh two are gonna go next week, so Liz's team better win, so she can get to interviews. However, that would mean two of Sarah, Jade and Harrison would go which would be even crazier than Liz getting to F5.

[Epic.]

In that case Sarah and James to go next pls. Both such dead weight, especially from an entertainment standpoint

[Wizard.]

We've already seen James naked so he has no further use

[TomC]

They're on different teams next week!

A: James, Michaela, Elizabeth, Joanna
B: Harrison, Sarah, Jade (PM)

[LukeB]

only in his pants so he wasn't actually naked imo

This series started off great, but it's not as good as it was in the first few weeks. It sort of fizzled out after Siobhan was fired, whereas last series got better as the weeks went on and gave us the gin episode. :love:

Also agree that last year's candidates were more rootable.

[reece(:]

Bushra in the pitch :laugh3::laugh3::laugh3:

[reece(:]

They're on different teams next week!

A: James, Michaela, Elizabeth, Joanna
B: Harrison, Sarah, Jade (PM)
Hopefully a double boot of Team B members

[Calderyon]

Both teams were bad yet again, but i´m surprised on the winner as i really thought Vitality was going to lose, with the misspellings in the recipe, not enough recipe pics and the packaging label design as well as the food not actually being healthy like was going to be, but their pitch was much better than the others and i guess that just managed to edge it out over Graphene, who had a terrible name, quite a bad PM who made bad decisions all the way through, overpowering Elizabeth, who wanted to do it all and badly (she burned the food), incredibly bad pitch which reeked of awkward, Balless James, who just let Elizabeth run him around and made awkward jokes in the pitch and stumbling and Bushra who didn´t really do much other than part of the pitch, which she botched majorly. Oh... i guess it really wasn´t that close.

Bushra deserved her firing as she didn´t really do anything over these nine weeks other than complain and moan. Would have liked to see Elizabeth gone though. Oh well, maybe next time.

And yeah, Jade´s treatment of Joanna was out of order really. Really put me of her.

[reece(:]

Why is Karren such a bitch this series? :umm2:

[Epic.]

They're on different teams next week!

A: James, Michaela, Elizabeth, Joanna
B: Harrison, Sarah, Jade (PM)

Sarah and Jade going in the double is an okay consollation then. I can't possibly see Elizabeth and Joanna surviving if their team lose though

I honestly thought Sarah's team had it in the bag until that dreadful pitch happened :facepalm:. The brand name wasn't the best but the design and packaging looked better and more thought went into it than Harrison's team !! .

It was literally close and Harrison only won because the other team messed up their presentation so badly !!! :joker: they balls everything up !! .

I knew Elizabeth wouldn't get fired , why won't people realise the ADHD mad hatter is getting to the interview stage :crazy:. Sugar has given her too many chances and she's failed miserably loads of time yet he continues to keep her as it's all fun and games :bored: and it's not a serious business process.

It was cringy & embarrassing the way she behaved and the burning of the food was a disaster, the only way Sugar will fire Elizabeth is if she literally swore at him and slapped him across the face .


I knew Bushra would get fired as she didn't contribute much and she's awkward in public speaking and the jokes were very strange :umm2:, but clearly Elizabeth should of gone but she's always safe so it was predictable it would be Bushra as she's seen as boring and she only pointed out the brand name ddn't work . James is such a doormat bloody hell , Sarah disappointed me as i assumed she'd be a dark horse . And Harrison let Michaela pull his strings !! . I'm so fed up of the boys this year !! .


Jade never gets on with Joanna and she shut down all her ideas , so if they lost i bet Joanna would of been thrown under the bus and FIRED despite having good ideas that were totally ignored by stuck up Jade :rant: . Jade is a bitch and they almost lost and it would of been her fault for bad grammar and terrible packaging and design !! . But Harrison was a poor PM but he talks a good talk when he's performing but he could of organised his team alot better :nono:.

Edgic for this series is a mess so far

screaming at Liz talking herself out of getting fired :love: she's the gift that keeps on giving, I'm so desperate for her just to make the interviews <3

As much as she'd be the most hilarious winner ever it'd mean we'd be robbed of her on reality TV and I think I'd prefer that

Time to get rid of the fodder now, Bushra went so Sarah (literally what is a Sarah?) and Jade to follow plz

[GoldHeart]

Why do people like Liz and think she's funny ??!!:facepalm: , it's only funny to watch because it's so awful :joker: . She's too disruptive and mental .

But don't worry your precious nut case will be getting to the interview stage as i've been predicting that for a long time!!! it's obvious seen as she's survived the boardroom too many times to the point where it's beyond ridiculous :bored: .

I think Joanna will be fired next week :rolleyes: , but i want bitchy Jade to go as i can't stand her she's not a team player and she effed up the task this week. There's not many of the candidates that are likeable this year .

[Nicky91]

Liz is pure entertainment :clap1:

Anisa's sudden jump from UTR to OTT mess :love:

[Nicky91]

UTR :conf:

OTT :conf:

what does this all mean

[Oaker]

UTR :conf:

OTT :conf:

what does this all mean

UTR = Under the Radar
MOR = Middle of (the) Road
CP = Complex Personality
OTT = Over the Top

[lewis111]

Alana - underdog thoughout, in boardroom 3 times, underestimated by her competitors, had a suprise win when she was PM - WON THE SHOW
Elizabeth is going to win

[Nicky91]

thank you :hug:

hmm, i think Lizzie is just staying for some more entertainment in the show, and i think James or Jade is gonna win it

[reece(:]

Anisa's sudden jump from UTR to OTT mess :love:

From 1 visibility to 4/5 :joker:

Liz, Anisa & Sarah-Jayne's :love::love:

[Oaker]

Can edgic actually be used to predict winners on TA?

I know it works for survivor but I feel like TA winners all have pretty different edits tbh.

[Epic.]

I'd argue Elizabeth was OTTM for the latest ep instead of OTTN because of the positive way Lord Sugar and Claude were describing her near the end. it doesn't always have to be about task performance

[reece(:]

This series the most N toned eva?

[Oaker]

This series, 6 and 11 are the most negatively edited I think :think:

[reece(:]

I'd throw 4 in there too :joker: The amount of N in the Marrakech episode :skull:

[Oaker]

I've never watched 4 :worry:

I should watch it someday since I think I'd love it

[Vanessa]

I hope James makes the final.

[GoldHeart]

I hope James makes the final.

Don't worry the golden boy will make it :sleep: :notimpressed:, this series is so bloody predictable. Last year was great as Alana was like an underdog to start with and then became a dark horse and won .

[Oaker]

Yeah this series is kind of predictable. James is clearly going to be in the final 2 and he'll be joined by either Michaela, Harrison or Sarah. There's literally no way there will be any other result :laugh:

[Epic.]

James and Sarah would be the worst final 2 in the history of the show please no.

also james has been a **** candidate, i don't think he's getting to the end

[BBUK-Fan]

James and Sarah would be the worst final 2 in the history of the show please no.

also james has been a **** candidate, i don't think he's getting to the end

James is slipping through because if he's project manager or someone else is, they always save him and I think it's in a friendly way and not down to the actual task

[Oaker]

James and Sarah would be the worst final 2 in the history of the show please no.

also james has been a **** candidate, i don't think he's getting to the end

Sarah/James final 2 would suck but NOT be worse than Ricky and Tom!

And James has been **** yeah but he's still in because Lord Sugar likes his business plan and that's all that really matters

[GoldHeart]

Yeah this series is kind of predictable. James is clearly going to be in the final 2 and he'll be joined by either Michaela, Harrison or Sarah. There's literally no way there will be any other result :laugh:

Or possibly Jade might make the final :facepalm:, she's a self righteous unpleasant bitch .

[TomC]

Yeah this series is kind of predictable. James is clearly going to be in the final 2 and he'll be joined by either Michaela, Harrison or Sarah. There's literally no way there will be any other result :laugh:

There are always a couple of people who've no chance of making it to F2. Having it wide open between 4/5 people really ain't bad tbh. Joanna could be an outsider too. It's all about the business plans at this stage tbh.

[awhael]

The branding this episode was hilariously terrible. I feel like the board not pointing out the prefix natro in natrofuel means containing sodium was a missed opportunity. The camera zooming in on Bushra looking uncomfortable whenever 'crusader' comes up was amusing.
