The Apprentice 2015

[Jen420]

Vana needs to go she is just dreadful, surprised she wasn't fucked out this week. Highly entertaining show, the stupidity of the candidates sometimes is fantastic viewing

 

[smat]

Who are people's favourites then? I like Charleine and Ruth, they both seem relatively normal and least likely among the women to be super bitchy. I thought Joseph was decent this week and I quite like Gary, although he's mostly been in the background so far. I've definitely had enough of Selina and Vana.

Edit: Somehow forgot to mention Elle. She's the worst.

The worst in what way? She's a bit of a tool but that's a prerequisite. I'm sort of rooting for her because she's young and works in construction and all the PROPER BUSINESSPEOPLE* seem to look down on her.

Oh that ex Navy bloke is such a fuckin idiot and talks in that stupid monotonous, VERY SERIOUS, inarticulate SIR way all our brave fucking ex servicemen do. Will play "stipulated" bingo next week, as that's all he ever says.

The most bitchy and annoying. The one I'd least like to meet or work with.

Obviously this is based on three weeks of watching heavily edited clips of people on a TV show, so may not entirely reflect reality.

True. She's pretty negative and moany but next to egregious c*** like Richard and Brett, she's positively charming.

She's a bit of an annoying chav 'Don't disrespect me!' eurgh

 

[Magic]

Annoys me more than it should that they keep the team names despite the teams varying dramatically from the start.

 

[The Paranoid Pineapple]

Aww, I'm MOST DISCONSOLATE that Ruth and her SNAZZY OUTFITS have departed

Too many awful contestants left

 

[hodge]

Last couple of years I've been able to pick out 1 or 2 who go onto the end, however can't think which ones from this will

 

[JJ1532]

I think David looks a pretty solid candidate. He was pretty impressive leading Versatile to victory in this task. Charleine I also can see going into the final 5. Sam has been decent as well, quiet but effective. Might need to step out of his shell soon though. Gary too. Not sure about the final candidate, maybe April.

I can see Vana, Selina and Elle going because they are all colossal bitches and have displayed nothing of note. Natalie is useless, fooling no-one with that dodgy pitch the other week. Scott is weak and he'll get caught out eventually. Richard, Joseph and Brett just talk shite, they'll get found out soon too. Not sure about Mergim, not really sure what he's done. Probably just skated by because he's been on the winning team every week.

So yeah, my final 5 are David, Charleine, Sam, Gary and April.

 

[The East Terrace]

Thought both teams did quite well, selling what is essentially overpriced crap for pets. Scott may be a bit too nice, will be interesting to see if he takes a sterner attitude from that. How Charleine survived is beyond me, thought we had a double sacking last night, she was awful again. Talks a good game but when it come down to it seems to just vanish. The bit where Sugar and Claude said if they haven't got any money tell them to sod off was just stupid, how would you know that young couple didn't have the money compaired the inbred family Charleine sold to who looked like they had nicked the bags left outside a charity shop on the way?

I think David looks a pretty solid candidate. He was pretty impressive leading Versatile to victory in this task. Charleine I also can see going into the final 5. Sam has been decent as well, quiet but effective. Might need to step out of his shell soon though. Gary too. Not sure about the final candidate, maybe April.

Probably just skated by because he's been on the winning team every week.

So yeah, my final 5 are David, Charleine, Sam, Gary and April.

I think Richard is quite good but just comes across as an arsehole. Brett is far too serious but I think he has more nous than a fair few on there. Still, there's something about him I'm not sure of.

I'd go: David, Charleine, Gary, Richard, April as the final 5.

 

[blade1889]

Got to laugh at the completely random and irrelevant introductions to tasks.

This week they went to a poets house. That was then the place where the first dictionary was written. To commemorate this there is a statue of an animal sat on top of a dictionary so naturally the task is about selling pet products.

Does Lord sugar ever look at this bollocks script and fire the person that wrote it?

One of the only interesting and entertaining characters from this years rather dull batch.

 

[JJ1532]

What a weird and pointless task this week. Produce and sell a decent kids book in a day, from scratch. How in any way is this realistic or a useful marker for what would make a decent business partner?

Shame Sam made such a mess of things, I liked him. Still, he can get things back. Brett, what a bellend. Talks the talk, but doesn't actually contribute. Natalie though, she tried to hide her terrible pitching and sales behind an illness this week. Just like she tried to hide it behind a poor product in week 1/2(can't remember which). More like, she is just terrible at pitching, can't string words together in a coherent sentence. She deserved to be fired this week.

And have they already revealed which team will lose next weeks task in the "coming up next week" segment at the end of the episode? Looks like the boys.

 

[Aaron-Bcfc]

Very happy he's got rid of Natalie, she should've gone for that awful pitch a few weeks ago.

Hadn't really noticed Sam until this week, and although I didn't think he was too bad he did my head in, proper emotional twat. Sooner he's gone the better.

Think Brett could go far. His straight to the point personality definitely sits well with Lord Sugar.

 

[blade1889]

I like Sam but surprised he didn't go this week. Lord Sugar hates indecisiveness and he was up there with the most indecisive. He also seems too nice for The Apprentice, like the loosing PM last week.

 

[The Paranoid Pineapple]

Yes, I like Sam too but his umming and ahhing when it came to deciding who to take back in was pretty cringeworthy (though I'm pretty sure I would have been exactly the same in that situation). Really glad Natalie went - she just seemed pretty dreadful all round, in both performance and personality.

 

[Murphy]

I love Brett

Richard is a massive dick though, every time I see him or listen to him I just think David Brent.

 

[blade1889]

Just thought...what was the point in the audio part of the task? Dont think anyone got to hear it? May as well have just been blank

 

[Veggie Legs]

I love Brett

Richard is a massive dick though, every time I see him or listen to him I just think David Brent.

Brett's definitely top for entertainment value, I hope he sticks around for a while longer.

 

[Madejski]

The preview for next week looks rather interesting. To me it hints at a firing early in the boardroom stage (probably before the PM picks the two to go back in).

 

[Dazza]

Maybe he fires someone before finding out what team had won the task.

 

[JJ1532]

Well we are approaching the stage where 2 have to go. I mean, we are heading into week 6 with 13 candidates. If it's 5 for the usual week 11 interviews and 2 for the final weeks task to decide the winner, that means there either needs to be either 1 triple firing(now that would be funny) or 2 double firings.

 

[Dazza]

That was probably the worst performance of a project manager in the history of the show from Elle.

Sam with one of the most stupid questions ever. If we win the contract do we have to do the job.

 

[smat]

Just lovely. Shame about Mergim but that was great.

 

[silkyman]

Dulwich Hamlet pay people to jet wash the stand?

Fuck off.

That's a volunteer job at any non league club isn't it?

 

[JJ1532]

I've never seen anything quite like that ever on this show.

Wasn't just the worst performance by a PM, worst performance by a team on this show in general. Mergim making mistake after mistake, April just faffing around, David cocking up on the metal cutting.

Joseph and Richard did well, but the others were just a total shambles.

 

[Pyeman]

The one thing I will say in their defence is that some of them were shambolic in terms of practical skills, which isn't really why they're there.

Not much of a defence I realise.

 

[blade1889]

Still think Sam's lucky to be there and that guy with the big forehead and black hair. Neither really seem to do much...but both seem nice people.

Was hoping for the first quadruple sacking.
