I watched a recording and enjoyed the start to the series. I always noticed how the most prominent members of the teams - with the biggest personalities - are always making the worst business decisions.

Alan Sugar probably didn't see Andy ever winning the competition so that's why he fired him.

Mods, here's the other Apprentice thread.

There will be a double firing on Wednesday...

Really!? Where'd you find that out from? :shocked:

- You might want to put that in a spoiler, so that those who don't want to know don't have to! :thumbs:

i am glad he went
he wasa right prat - thinking he's all that


was a good challege

Here are the Apprentice's ratings so far:

28th March - 5.0 million
4th April - 4.7 million

Series 3 is averaging at 4.8 million.

haha i must be some million because i didnt watch it last night. I didnt recognise the 2 who went out though so they must not have been very good

That Rory was a complete t**t.

Tre is annoying and argumentative, but most of the points he was making were good ones. Rory just wanted a compliant little team, who would not dare question anything he said. His idea was rubbish and Tre was the one who had the guts to say it to his face (for all the good it did).

Tre is so annoying but i was glad Rory went-he was to posh and snobby!

Lohit is a complete nobody. He hasn't talked very much, and he isn't given enough air time.
Now that there are 13 candidates, I hope actually says something useful.

hilarious episode. First it was ifti for the shifty, then Rory had to go. I like Tre. He could be great entertainment

Exactly. I think Tre should be kept in at all costs, because he will be the most entertaining one of the lot. Well apart from Jadine, who disturbs me on so many levels.

Jadine is very scary.

For once the women are united. That means the boys are in trouble.

Edit: Gazal. She's Purrty.

For those that are interested there is a podcast for the programme:

It was a bit unfair that the boys' team won orders from two out of three of the retailers but still lost when the third retailer was worth so much more. The tip about selling the hardest to the big retailer would be alright in normal business circumstances but in this task they didn't have an option but to pitch to all three retailers.

lol at the Rambo belt - no-one's ever going to use that, the dog cabinet was an okay novelty item I suppose.

I decided to watch this series and i'm really into it. Was made up Rory went, he annoyed me from the word go... 'take your ties off'... why? Stuff like that really irratate me. I'm really liking Tre too for entertainment and because he does talk sense, i agree with almost everything he's been saying.

As for Jadine, she's obsessed with making sure 'ECLYPSE' are mentioned somehow on their products... the tea and now dog challenge.

One of my favourite shows at the minute.

cant watch it tonight - mum want ot watch street lights or something like that

but i will watch it on demand someday

Another good episode last night. I'm surprised Gerri went, I wanted Naomi to go; she didn't have clue. Jadine was quality and Tre is by far the most entertaining contender. The bit where he summed up his vproject management skills nearly made me fall off my seat. having said that, the girls tactics were very disturbing. I'm shocked at how willing they were to sell kisses and dismayed at the lacklustre response to Dr Sophie Kain who objected to it. Dirty stinking *****s. Sorry. I'm calling it as I see it.

I was surprised the girls didn't get more of a ticking off for selling the kisses. He seemed to go lightly on them with a passing reference to prostitution.

I thought the boy's final looked good fun and it must have brought the group together and they all seemed to be having fun singing in the pubs.

Im glad gerri went as shes annoyed me since the first series. Glad the boys won a round though i didnt see it were they split up boys/girls or were they mixed

The girls business selection was wrong in the first place so it didn't matter about the location (in this instance).

Tre's line - shown in the 'You're fired' show - about the Paul and Katie relationship was funny... 'this is The Apprentice not Celebrity Love Island!' hah.

In my opinion, Jadine was on her way home until Gerri opened her mouth in the final boardroom.

Both Jadine and Naomi could string together logical arguments to back themselves in the boardroom, whether they were valid or not. Gerri seemed to be incapable of doing this. This was her downfall in my opinion.

It's so strange the clearly like each other to find that sort of thing going on in the Apprentice. It was the last show on earth I would have expected romance from.

I wonder if they that is reason they rearranged the teams before the start of the task - so that those two would be together.

The change seemed a bit pointless at the time.

Alan Sugar's column in the Mirror about the previous show... http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/topstor...name_page.html

What do you mean the first series.. this is the third series! It's with completely different candidates!
