Very pleased Ian went....:thumbsup:
and once again i question Sir Alan's integrity on the show this series. Claire gets rewarded for basically conducting a character assasination on Simon, but oh well, that'lll be good TV....
Grrr.. can we PLEASE get rid of Claire?! She aggrivates me sooo much.. I know it sounds stupid but she really winds me up!
Is it just me or does Helene have a look of Catherine Zeta Jones?
And I saw an earlier post about Kevin looking like Matt Lucas.. my Mum said the exact same thing and I can't look at him without thinking of 'the only gay in the village' now...
Totally agree... Simon should never have gone. Did you watch "You're fired" on BBC2. Simon is such a nice guy... Claire should be kicked out and soon. Herself and Jenny are unbelievable... neither of these should win.Quote:

The one that was in charge of the computer in Helene's team yesterday, she's really strange.. I think she should go aswell, she doesn't seem to like pulling her weight.
Lucinda... she wasn't pulling her weight cause she clearly said that she was not technical but Helene still put her on the computer.. even when she knew it wasn't going well at all, she never asked one of the others to take over..Quote:

Sir Alan got is so wrong last night. Simon should never have been in the boardroom to begin with let alone be fired.
Helene's team should have been in the boardroom for.
1 Being a crap project manager and putting someone who couldn't even text or take photos on their mobile phone in charge of producing the photo's. She should have had Lucinda taking orders from customers and Helene should have taken over printing the photo's.
2 They should have been fined for not giving the customers what they ordered.
3. For lying that none of them new anything about computers. What a pile of POO!!!
Helene, Claire or Lee should have got the bullet last night. Helene for her bad management skills, Lee for being a woose and refusing to take any responsiblity and Claire for being a Bully. Those two had no intention of giving Simon any support from the begining.
This lot have to the thickest worse bunch that have been in the competition they all want to stay quiet and not take any responisblity and are thick as mince.
what an episode last night! our whole flat were screaming at the TV for the most part! Nick and Margaret were amazing, especially when she shouted "Alex!" as if he was a naughty little boy! :lol:
This year's contestants are the biggest bunch of back stabbing bitches I've ever seen! And none of them are that good tbh! I had high hopes for Simon, but Sir Alan was right, he was out of his depth.
Clare's days are numbered, she's got a gob on her, and needs to learn when to shut up, she's nasty and deserves the boot, but after Sir Alan's harsh words to her, I think her day's are numbered!
What a nice guy Simon was on 'the apprentice you're fired'.
He is a genuinely smart, nice, hard working capable guy, but he couldn't manage the backstabbers. If he had a team of normal people he would have managed them fine, being out of your depth with a bunch of lying toadies is normal - in real life they would be fired by the manager! How can you defend yourself against people who want you to fail and are prepared to lie to ensure that you do?
I could not believe it when Helene said that Lucinda hadn't told her she was useless technically! Helene has to go - who would want to work with a bullying liar? She was despicable.
The majority of this years bunch are people I would cross the road to avoid.
Well done to Simon for giving it 100%, and not calling it 110%!
Is it just me or does Helene have a look of Catherine Zeta Jones?
Sorry for reposting but I just need to know it's not just me! haha..
I was trying to figure out who she looked like last night and I saw a picture of CZJ this morning and realised it was her!
What a relief to find someone who shares my passionate hatred for 110%!!! :cheer:Quote:

I think aswell, some are just after the fame.

How cool was it last night.. both Jenny's gone!! about time Sir Alan!! but did you notice he picked who went to the boardroom last night.. would this have to do with Jenny (red head) been left out of the boardroom last week???
i think he just took them all in because the whole team (apart from maybe Alex) were so useless!
I'm glad redhead Jenny went because she was in Alan Sugar's words "a snake", but i felt the other Jenny should have been given a bit more time. I can't believe that nasty smug coniving Claire is still here and also the guy who's name i can never remember who said he was Jewish but knew nothing about Kosher. the way he and Jenny treated the staff at that sports shop was appaulling! it was like they thought you could get Morroccan people to do anything so long as you showed them some money!
I think like lost vodoo said it was probably because they were all useless and maybe a little bit to do with the way Jenny got to stay last week, i hadnt thought of that.
So glad she went, she was beginning to annoy me. Some of the things she said and did was verging on bullying, especially to that Sara and Lucinda.
Has to be one of the best ones of the programme, Jenny and Jennifer's faces when they were fired were priceless. Alex and Claire need to go. She is just a bully and undermines every project manager. Alex is just a lazy little sh*t His war-cry is "I have worked in Sales all my life" he has hid under the radar on every task as he doesn't want to be confrontational and end up in the Boardroom.
Michael face was a picture when he had to admit to Sir Alan that he wasn't a good Jewish boy. My money is on Lee to win now.
I can't stand 'Thats what I'm talking about!' Lee. I think that Raefe although posh is the best candidate left in the competition now. He had the gumption to stand up to Lee last week when he was bullying Sara in the house after the board room. And in the main he has got on an done his job whether or not he was team leader.
The 2 Jennifer's both gone - hurrah :cheer: Mean sprited, bullying harridans the pair of them.
Being good in business doesn't mean you have to be a back stabbing, bullying , two faced bitch.
If only Michael had gone too.
This weeks episode was a classic!
hear hear! my money is on Raefe. i think he should have another go at being project manager though just to see if he can pull it off again.Quote:

I'm glad Jenny C has finally gone as I thought the way she was speaking to Lucinda a few weeks ago was outrageous.
Another bad judgement from Sir Alan last night.
Yes, Sara was too pushy, however her crimes were small in comparison to the mistakes made by Helene as team leader. How anyone can judge the best product line when they have only seen half of the choices is beyond me!
And as for Michael! Slimey, fake, and totally useless! He has appealed to Sir Alan for survival so often now that I am surprised it worked last night. I really thought that 2 were going to go again. He also tell too many lies.
I agreed with Margaret when she suggested that there were reasons for all of the three in the board room to go. I would have gone with 2 - Helene and Michael.
Raef is still looking good. He didn't sell much last night, though, but at least he tries and is honest with it.
Totally agree.. Sir Alan should not have even hesitated to get rid of Michael last night and Helene made very very poor judgement on the wedding dresses... I reckon on Lee going all the way and I am coming around to Raef..Quote:

I agree. How Sir Alan could even have contemplated keeping Michael on after two successive weeks of lies and proving he is not up to the task is beyond me. I have to say it has actually lowered my estimation of Sir Alan as this great business tycoon.
actually he did say it in the car to Sara that is was bad leadership to not have one person see all dress... but he didn't say it to HeleneQuote:

I think sara shouldnt have gone as you say Helene was a lot worse. I seem to think though that they sort of calculate between themselves. Sara was one of the quieter personalities similar to Lucinda and are more likely to go.
noooooooooooooooooo! i can't believe it, i though Raef was gonna go all the way! how are micheal and claire still in this?!
I think Raef was too much of a toff for an Eastend boy like Sir Alan.
I agree about Michael but I'm not so sure about Claire. She's got something about her - her problem is she's selfish and would rather give herself an excuse she can carry in to the boardroom than throw herself fully in to the team.
clare is great in hindsight... she spots the problems but does nothing about them at all and then says in the boardroom "oh I told you this blah blah".. Micheal is a snake and a liar.. can't believe he sold Raef out.. Raef did deserve to go on this Project but overall he has been the better team player
Sir Alan already mentioned this ''making a big deal about if you know it is wrong'' to Claire so she dosen't deserve any more chances. I think Sir Alan is basing this show on entertainment value and not about business anymore because that was only the 2nd time as Raef mentioned he was in the final 3 and he barely did anything comapred to what others have done in the past. Micheal had his last chance last time and wanted another chance yet he failed, chuck him out!
I am beginning to lose a bit of respect for Sir Alan now.
I read an interview with Nick and Margaret (Sir Alan's aides) and they said that nobody who enters the Apprentice would actually make a good apprentice... does anyone know if any of the previous winner are still working for him???
I thought Raef was going to go the distance. Michael's firing is long overdue, the guy is a total slimeball and he stresses me out whenever he's on screen with that moronic voice of his.
OMG
I haven't seen this episode yet as hubby hogged the TV watching football.
I will be watching as soon as I get home - Raef gone :( Micael still in!! :crying:
I will give my verdict tomorrow, lol
Poor Raef, he was seduced by the idea of directing a commercial and totally lost the plot. An advert is a tool for selling - not an art form.
Alex - useless
Michael - as always a slimy, lying toad.
Lucinda - too negative this week. Make your point when there is still time to have input.
Helene - weak
Claire - good presentation, reasonable ideas.
Lee - a peace maker this week between Alex and Lu. A positive chap, but his presentation was really awful.
Based on this task it is between Lee and Claire. Unfortunately I don't like either of them :(
Michael to go next - please!!
you always are spot on with your opinions Trinity, couldn't agree more! If Margaret or Nick ever left, you should take their place - you seem to know what you're talking about! :lol:
Talking of Nick and Margaret, they have been fantastic this series and really come out of their shells - their looks and one liners have had me and my friends in absolute stitches.
Lee's poor presentation was down to Lucinda and Alex going on at him before his speach. Can't believe Michael wormed his way out of being fired again. He really is clinging by his fingertips.
I would like to see Lee and Lucinda as the final two even though I have no favourites left in the competition Alex and Helene are hopeless and spineless who are doing their best to avoid confrontation. Claire and Michael should have went weeks ago.
