Apprentice (IRL) - Season 2 Week 3 Discussion

05-10-2009 10:41pm

well now they're slagging the Breffster off for being posh - all very classist this year on both sides!

MistyCheese · 05-10-2009 10:41pm

Is anyone watching You're Fired? Or am I in the wrong place?

BOC "She (Aoiffe) speaks her mind"
Yeah, when her teammates aren't around!

This is by far the best episode of "You're Fired" to date - possibly because O'Connor isn't quite as much of a cock as the last two weeks and he's allowing the panel to contribute.

Yes. I haven't seen the last two weeks but I am surprised how calm he is.

More of the musical sam coming up!!!

Christ I haven't seen this much product placement since I, Robot.

Just watched the show now after work!! Setanta deserved it!! Bill was gas he was not taking any crap of anyone tonight!! Poor Aoiffe he gave her loads!!!

AARRRGH · 06-10-2009 12:20am

It's funny, you could see by the looks on Bill's face that he hated Setanta, but is quite fond of Brefni. Gotta say I agree with Bill: Setanta comes across as a really unpleasant, unlikeable person.

Bill is growing on me.

You may need a strong anti-fungal

I f-ing hate Fiona Looney and everything she has to say. Its all nonsense and shes just an annoying mouthpiece.

VERYinterested · 06-10-2009 10:18am

Couple of observations I had last night during the show were:

Big Red Book man - I wish he'd said that putting a K in his spelling of Marc wasn't the reason they lost, it was just a **** ad no logical person can be that pedantic. He did say that the Rubik's Cube would have also been shot down.

The B&F guy Ian Hyland used to be the advertising manager for the magazine and he bought it outright. But I don't understand how he would be qualified to comment on the creative strategy, the planning of the campaign, yes, but he was questioning the make up of the ad and being a cock for the cameras. Selling advertising space does not make you a creative person and the reason the task was lost by Setanta's team was the content of the ad, their media campaign was highly praised! I wonder how Hyland would have felt if someone got on to him and dangled the 50k budget under his nose and told him they wanted to get twice as many insertions as they were playing with and to keep his rate card up his swiss.

Right, watched it there, Setanta was the right person to go, no people skills at all, rude and arrogant, it was painful watching him trying to be PM.
Where in gods name have they sourced these people, a group of monkeys would have done better, have none of them done any basic communications?
Are they not allowed use stock photos? or are they just that thick?

MargeS · 06-10-2009 2:42pm

I'm not sure I understand why they get these people to do marketing campaigns. Surely a creative marketing department would do this type of work. These contestants are business people looking to do the business aspect of a job, not the images & strap lines for ad campaigns. Surely team Platinum should have won last night for their financial planning?

unichick · 06-10-2009 3:08pm

Ya the tasks have been unimaginative and the last two have been identical nearly. Who the hell cares about marketing really if your a business person you'll have a department that does that. If I had to do that for a living I'd shoot myself!
Breffney rocks, ginger BOD is annoying me more every episode. He only got a 3rd class honours degree but thinks he knows it all. Never heard of his boot camp company!

DING DING DING we have a winner.

They're confident, not intelligent.

podge018 · 06-10-2009 4:54pm

Why do posters in this thread quote Bill and Geraldine using a 'Dubb-ah-lin' accent as if that's funny on its own? I haven't seen anyone having pops at anyone's culchie accent. Pretty childish behaviour really.

Emmmooo · 06-10-2009 4:57pm

Well if the last 2 task have looked alike next weeks certainly looks alot different!

I don't think you need any financial planning skills if you win the show are you're then making beds in Bill's hotel or valeting fleets of Renaults

Just watched last night's episode. The only people I really don't like anymore are Geraldine and Setanta (but he's gone - yay). I actually like everyone else.
