Default The Apprentice Part II

Just started tonight - the bloke in charge of the blokes team is a hoot.

He said if anyone speaks over him then he will send them out the room!!

He also says when they can take off their jackets and ties.

Interesting management style!!

Class A tit.

That tre bloke has some good ideas- if he could just shut up for 5 mins...

Congrats to the BBC... for serving the public once again. (not that I watched it)

More mediocrity for the slum dwelling 'new home ownership' new labour voting masses that need the opiate of a fantasy career opportunity to keep themselves motivated.

I much prefer the US version which was brought over to the UK (US is nearly finished showing series 6). Trump is so much better than Sugar. He can play hard ball but he still gives praise. Tasks are on such a bigger scale and the applicants throw themselves fully into them. Oh and the women are a lot fitter

Plus an english guy won the previous US series!

**** you got me there...

You know, I didn't think about that...

Maybe something to do with the first series, or perhaps the endless adverts for it (even on Radio 4 I'm annoyed to report) and that fact that it's aimed at people with no hope in life other than to provide a substitute career 'opportunity' that they will never achieve.

The problem with the yank version is its only 40 mins and shows a lot less of the task and too much boardroom.

What arrogant drivel.

It's excellent entertainment, and individuals may pick up a tip or two about how to communicate thoughts effectively without people thinking you are being an arrogant tosser. Some irony here - as tonights show proved

I don't conform to ANY of those "values". Just where DO you get your opinions from, UB? And more importantly, what makes you so convinced they're accurate?!!

Guys... I think you are missing the fundimental issue with this new series...











Which of the girls would you go for? Personally, Naomi does it for me. Nice hair, stunning blue eyes and a good set of baps.

Do you really have to ask those questions Tel?

He's just a dillusional, uptight, stressed, angry young man with questionable mental stability.

He's not even a "good" troll. At least Audilover and Pete Lewis know when they are spouting crap...

*shrug* Dunno mate. I'll take everyone at face value. If it IS trolling then it's crap trolling on a massive scale, but i'm not so sure it is. Just dogmatic, obstinate ramblings. You'd be surprised how many people there are like that out there...

Sorry Tel,

I shoudl have been clearer - I don't think Robin is a troll. I was saying that I'd rather have a troll who knows he's being a ****, than someone who appears to genuinely believe he's in the right, despite the vast majority of people having an opposing view.

Trouble is, dont any of these so called managers, actually practice any of there stuff in there normal jobs??

its almost like its 15 people who have no idea of how to deal with the public or any form of basic selling

Last night's task - £200 to start up a one day business in Richmond...

I think I would have had the team at a busy road junction with buckets and sponges cleaning windscreens! Easy money with a team that size.

Anybody else reckon they could have done better?
