The Apprentice 2019 Week 11 - Interviews (11th Dec 2019 - Wednesday BBC1 9PM)

[Calderyon]

The final five candidates are summoned to 70 St Mary Axe, otherwise known as the Can of Ham, a spectacular new 21-storey building in the heart of the City of London.

They face the scrutiny of Lord Sugar’s most trusted advisors, who are primed to pick apart their business plans. Each candidate goes head to head with the business bigwigs as they battle to back their plans. There’s tough talking, turmoil and tears as bravado breaks, egos are eradicated and business plans bulldozed.

In the boardroom it’s Lord Sugar’s chance to give them a grilling, as only two can progress to the final while the rest are told, 'You’re Fired!'

Lottie vs Carina would be a good final 2 outcome.

[Oliver_W]

Lottie <3

Two more tasks? I thought interviews were in tomorrow's ep?

Oh does it mean the interviews are one task, and the big project with everyone is the second?

[SherzyK]

I was gonna make a new thread but it’s best if we just stick to this one and just change the name

[Nicky91]

Scarlett vs Lottie final 2 i think


i mean promo of scarlett's business plan being called woeful means nothing so i can still see being in final 2 and winning

[arista]

Yes a chance to rip them apart
see their Flaws.

[Calderyon]

Edited.

[aaronneely2017]

Scarlett and Carina are f2 i think

Lottie doesnt stand a chance imo

[Barry.]

Lottie is banned from the spin off show now lol.

[Calderyon]

Pamela doomed?

[Calderyon]

All of them seem to be seriously bombing it.

[Matthew.]

Interviewer: Will you remember tha-
Pamela: NO :)
Pamela: ...
Pamela: Can I write it down? :)

[Calderyon]

Surely Lewis and Pamela are definitely out?

Both had major plummets in their interviews.

[Jason.]

Linda just dragging their businesses and telling them the interview is over before they have a chance to respond :skull:

[Matthew.]

Linda reminds me of Piers Morgan in that she doesn’t let anybody get a word in

[Matthew.]

“Let me give a number of… … …a LOT of stores”

[Matthew.]

Famous last words there Lottie

[Calderyon]

Carina seems like a certain to be in the final 2.

[Jason.]

Claudine is so lovely

[Calderyon]

And the second one tbh... Lottie.

Or Scarlett.

[Calderyon]

Will be surprised if Lewis or Pamela make it.

[Calderyon]

Yeah, I'd say Lewis is gone. Pamela too.

[SherzyK]

Ugh, I’m worried for our Scaz :(

[SherzyK]

Oop bye girl.

[Barry.]

Scarlett is a maybe I feel.

[Jason.]

Carina and Pamela are gonna be in the final I think

[Matthew.]

Ooh Lewis is going too

[SherzyK]

Carina and Pamela are gonna be in the final I think

Same.

[Calderyon]

Goodbye Lottie.

[RileyH]

I wasn't prepared for Lottie being fired straight away

[Matthew.]

I like all 3 that are left. Hope Carina stays though

[Barry.]

Lewis's was terrible.

[Calderyon]

Bye Lewis.

[Jason.]

A scream that Lottie’s business was a shooting club

That’s the most Lottie thing

[LukeB]

Ooh Lewis is going too

I think it was kind of obvious because of alan starting a feud with him on twitter the other week:laugh:

[Calderyon]

No matter which of the three get to the final 2.

[Jason.]

They’re all fired and Marianne struts back in through the glass doors?

[SherzyK]

Perfect final 2 :love:

[Barry.]

Oh wow.

[Matthew.]

They’re all fired and Marianne struts back in through the glass doors?

:fc:

[Calderyon]

Bye Pamela.

[Calderyon]

Hopefully Carina wins. But it'll probably be Scarlett.

[Jason.]

A cute F2

[Calderyon]

Predictable final 2.

[Barry.]

It will be very close I think.

[Calderyon]

Whichever has Thomas stands a good chance of losing this.

[Calderyon]

I suspect Lottie won't be back in the final task.

[Oliver_W]

Lottie's business idea was probably the best tbh, wish I had somewhere to farm my female relations off to occasionally <3

[Marsh.]

This just sums up the fundamental flaw with this show.

Taking one look at Lottie's business plan (although stupid to pretend they didn't see them until the final 5 were decided), realising she had no clue and no actual figures, her business wasn't viable (who didn't see that coming?) thus rendering her ten week stint completely and utterly pointless.

Just go back to giving the winner a job ffs. This investment nonsense doesn't work with the show's format.

Yes, it's a reality show, but the final 2 weeks are a completely separate process from the preceding 10 weeks of tasks.

"Let's sack the guy who might have an awesome business because some **** up led all the ice lollies to melt in task 2, but keep the girl who won by accident despite not having a business plan at all and no hope of winning anyway!" Yes, it's an entertainment show but it's useless. :joker:

[Marsh.]

If they pass her posh test.

And, as Sugar pointed out, not a very viable business when her clientele is such a slim margin of people.

Not to mention she will single handedly run 96 events a year. :joker:

[Marsh.]

As for the interviews, the bloke with the specs was a pretentious joke. Sitting there in complete ignorance of them, putting on his little performance before acknowledging them.

Very funny with him slyly testing out Pamela and Carina's businesses but what a berk.

And Linda, good grief. :joker:

The other woman just seemed interested in asking them how they are like a therapist. :laugh:

[Marsh.]

Pamela continuing the "innovator", "not like any other" lines after Linda has just exposed her as selling expensive cotton buds. :joker:

[Marsh.]

"Pamela thank you for wasting two months of your life, but you only have 2 products!"

So why accept her anyway. :shrug:

[Marsh.]

Omg and Carina, my god, her inability to stop saying the word "massive" reminded me of one of the very first interviews I had at 18 and I kept saying the word "alright". :laugh2:

[Strictly Jake]

So pleased at the top 2!!

Lottie wanted an investment so rich women can go and shoot animals....she can feck off

[Marsh.]

Lottie pretending she knew the numbers but still not offering any. :skull:

[Nicky91]

Lottie doesn't even need lord sugar anyway, she's better than him anyway :smug:

[Jigs]

Claudine was so soft this year! I suppose she had no other choice considering 4/5 of the candidates went in there crying.

I feel that this was the weakest set of business plans we've seen in years. Lottie had no figures so it rendered her entire business plan useless. Pamela's entire plan banked on the success of newly released products which also had competitors on the market. And Alan Sugar hit the nail on the head when he compared Lewis' business plan to a pipe dream. He lost it for me when he admitted he had never visited Croatia.

Scarlett and Carina's proposals aren't perfect but their biggest obstacle was the prospect of scale-ability. I suppose they were simply just the best of a very weak bunch.

producers sabotaged her :rant: :inamood:

[SherzyK]

How?

[Oliver_W]

When it comes to a tv show, headhunting is a rather boring business. I liked Pamela's story of how she went to the editor in chief and told her that the nails on the cover were crap :joker: A business presentation about beauty products would make better TV than a recruitment one, but I guess it depends how much preference is given to entertainment value vs profitability for Lord Sugar.

[Vanessa]

Great final two. I like both of them. Can't wait for next week. Everyone is coming back :love:

[arista]

Typical Women
using Crying...................................

[Marsh.]

:umm2:

What? They stole her business plan?

The woman was never serious and will most likely show up on Made in Chelsea or Love Island next year.

[arista]

producers sabotaged her :rant: :inamood:


No she has the worst business
Copied her product
THIEF Claudine

[SherzyK]

producers sabotaged her :rant: :inamood:

Answer my question.

[Marsh.]

Linda was dressed like a drag queen.

[Captain.Remy]

The cotton buds sent me dead :skull:
Overall, how nice is it to have a deserving top 2! They're so going at each other's throats next week, this is going to be good, I'm into it!

[The Slim Reaper]

The winner

No way will Sugar back a cafe business over a recruitment/headhunter business. He'll get his money back within 2 years max.

[LukeB]

her business plan was trash.

[Calderyon]

Isn't it only 3 for both team?

[Liam-]

Pamela’s face when the guy clocked her delivery service made me scream

[Calderyon]

Also I think Lottie won't be in the last task, gathering she has been banned from all spinoffs and giving exit interviews apparently.

[Jigs]

I think I remember seeing Lottie in the promo for next week. I don't think the controversy came to light until way after the season wrapped filming.

[Epic.]

Ryan-Mark has been rinsing Lottie on Twitter and it’s beautiful
