The Apprentice

[Mr D Black]

So after 2 episodes, who are people's favourites? who do people hate the most? What do you make of the 2nd series?

After watching a thoroughly cringeworthy episode tonight, I find it hard to identify with any of the candidates (I am sure one of the men wears mascarar), but I think I like Carl Cox-alike Ansell the best. Seems to be a nice guy, and less alpha-male than the rest of Invectica. I hope he wins.

I think the quality of candidates is not as high as last year, but it is still as entertaining.

I would happily beat both Jo and Sayed to death with their filofaxes. In regards to favourates it is almost impossible to have any posotive emotions about a group of Sales monkeys who lie for a living and have no other character traits than dishonesty and greed. It's a bit like saying who's your favourate young conservative of all time- although at least then yuo could have Boris Johnson!

[lady_p_gold]

Can you imagine working with someone like Jo who seems to burst into tears every five minutes. Just her hair would send me mad. And who would be a team leader next time, it seems that every time you are the team leader you are in the firing line.

[gammaray]

Hmmm, Sickofmorons. is your name ironic?

[treborwood]

I would have to agree with the fact that Jo and Sayed are complete F***tards. I dont like judging people but for them i am more than happy to make an exception, Jo being a hysterical moron and Sayed thinking he is god's gift.

Personaly want Ansell to win cos he looks cool when he has his sunglasses on and i bet he has some usefull negotiation tactics if u know what i mean

[sickofmorons]

Gammaray- No it's not I genuinely am sick of morons, is that simple enough for you or would you like me to break it down into little words with pictures for you.

[gammaray]

I doubt that you could!

[sickofmorons]

True I probably coudn't break anything down into small enough chunks for a sales monkey or young conservative to understand!

[gammaray]

Perhaps you should change your name to sickofothermorons - just to avoid any confusion!

[tanzanya]

we were calling Ansell - Carl Cox last night, too! What a great strategy, how can you not like cuddly and cool Carl Cox? Carl Cox to win! The rest of them are just terrible - doesn't ANYONE tell the truth anymore? I just don't understand why you would want to lie or exaggerate to a fellow team member - it will only take longer to finish the task.

[milly143]

I just wish they would all stop blubbering, how pathetic. And that girl who went last night deserved it. Wathed the after show programme and she refused to take any blame herself. The hole lot of them seem to completely obnoxious. Still, I watch it though dont I.

[Lorcan]

Think it may be Manny with the mascara. He did the boys' presentation. I detested his pomposity. Saying he was an expert and using lines like 'that is a truth we hold to be self-evident.' He copied the US Constiution and spoke to one man as if he were addressing a group.

Ansel was the most 'professional' of the guys by far. I think all the other guys have either swore or otherways lost their cool.

The girls team seem more anonymous. Jo is a bit of a loose cannon and lawyers Alexa and Karen may go far, but Ruth, Michelle and t'other one do nothing visibly.

Agreed. Poor quality of candidates compared to last year.

[WoWo]

I know that Sayed fella, not sure from where but I either worked with him or went to school with him. The one thing I do remember about him is that he was a ****.

No idea what the birds were doing with that Calender last night it was rubbish.

[WoWo]

Just read his profile on the beeb website, I remeber now. He used to work in the office below me, we were a small software company and they were a team of recuirtment constultants that we constantly took the **** out of.

We all used to stand out side having a fag and they would be down there talking rubbish. I knew I had seen him before but couldn't place him.

[iluvcatz]

I don't think the candidates are as good as last time, but we shall see how the series progresses. I haven't made up my mind who I like best yet but I certainly know who I would get rid of right now!!!! JO. Last week she was bouncing around as if on a Pogo Stick with those annoying curls bouncing around on their own. This week she was blubbing alot, I bet the people she worked with before she left to do the programme were glad to see the back of her! I don't like Sayed either but if I went into the reasons this would be a really long answer. He should go too!

[joko]

its a shame about jo - if she could just keep her emotions in check and calm down a bit she'd be great. she's bright, confident, passionate and not afraid to say how she feels, but she just lets herself down with her arm waving, jumping, and tearful ranting.

it comes across as unprofessional, unstable and a bit mad - though i suppose at leats she's open and honest and not sly and conniving like probably most of the others

sayed is a complete sneaky eyed snide.

anyone noticed the last male project leaders pouting?

[Mr D Black]

When addressing the buyers why did the guy with eyeliner address the guy like there were 10 of him and not just speak to him as a regular personal?

What I find annoying is the contestants dont have the sanctimony to admit their mistakes; saying they'd do exactly the same again etc.

The irony is these people had top jobs before they got on this programme, but they all look useless.I doubt any of them could get a job in McDonalds let alone Amstrad.

[sickofmorons]

Joko - yes I noticed his pouting in the first week whilst Sir Alan was givign him a talking to. Glad somebody else has seen that thought it was just me.
