Katie was one great example.

Why even bother having her there in the first place?! Rosin is another one too, her product already existed.. if the interviewers found that pretty easily then surly she could have been written off before the show started?!

The style of interviews is poor too and a poor representation of real interviews. Claude's attitude towards Soloman being the obvious example. No handshake and then speaks in a rude manner raising his voice towards Soloman. I've observed a fair few interviews in different sectors and when you dismiss someone from the interview you talk in a calm and polite manner, don't go shouting and acting like a dick.

I understand they want drama on this show to entertain us but they still need to get the balance right. Have applications whittled down and have Lord Sugar have a good look through 50+ of the applications, writing off the ones that are completely pointless or will waste time, or ones that Lord Sugar doesn't like the business ideas of.

I can see Biancca winning, she's got a potentially great business plan, she's good at staying professional (although needs to work on making it look natural rather than robotic) and she's a bit like Leah last year, it's something LS will be unsure of but it has potential.

Mark's great but I think Lord Sugar will see him as too perfect and think he will be fine on his own and won't need the partnership/money as much as Biancca does.

good post and i pretty much agree....its stopped being a serious business show a long time ago...sadly its gone for cheap gimmicks and panto villains...ive always felt anyone who insists on being called lord has to be a twat, sugar can be ascerbic but hes pretty ignorant most of the time, brady is horrible and sexist, i always got the feeling sugar only succeeded down to contacts

Perched for this tonight

[Braden]

Idc if Marc looks like The Beast from The Chase, he's really handsome.

Bianca looks good too.

[Samm]

Mark handsome?

[Braden]

Do you not think so?

I would give him a solid 9

[Black Dagger]

~would tbh~

[Benjamin]

Forgot this was on tonight

[Braden]

I'm kind of glad that it's finishing.

I feel like I've become far too invested with this series and its candidates.

[arista]

9PM tonight


But does it really need 2 Fecking Hours Long??

[Braden]

The actual final is an hour.

You're Hired is a spin-off which usually airs on BBC2 that's added on

[Braden]

From the preview on last week's You're Fired...

Spoiler:

It seems like Mark will cough-up and struggle with his presentation similarly to his pitch at Tesco's.

It probably won't affect his chances of winning.

[Benjamin]

I hope they have some old candidates from the last ten years on You're Hired tonight

[Benjamin]

I wonder if they will announce Nick's replacement or save that for next series
