    IMO, a snake is someone who is sneaky and does things behind people's back. Jim is no snake, he has the balls to talk up and say it as it is.

    He is a snake for telling it how it is? He basically said what happened, that isn't
    being a snake, it is business.

    Wow well you obviously know this fella well. I'm only voicing a suspicion because it's too early to tell but you seem certain of this guy so I'll take your word for it. Jim only brings up people's weakness or lack of work afterwards in the board room. Thats not team work in my mind. If I'm wrong about him fine. As I say it's too early to tell. Well unless you are MrsD007 :)

    He is a possible snake for saying nothing until it was him or someone else. As I say it's great to defend yourself but Sugar is no fool. If you are saving all of these comments until afterwards it will show eventually. Too early.

    Leon got called on his bs nicely, he bottled it but was trying to say it was him. The lads will remember that and by the sounds of it, Karen and Sir Alan will too.

    Well played by Jim, he was getting all the blame, could have seen him gone if he was picked.

    Mad Men's Don Draper : What you call love was invented by guys like me, to sell nylons.

    I don't know if it's repeated but it's on the iplayer, you just need to install expat shield to watch it if it's not repeated.

    And yes, there was two shows. 3rd one next Wednesday.

    On a side issue that new shard skyscraper in london looks class (shot of it at the end)

    One of the best things about the show is the amazing shots of London from the air.

    But her voice is a sort of anti-viagra. I'll let you think up your own way of preventing her speaking.

    Can't wait but where are the hotties?:D
    QFT!
    I guess we were spoilt with Liz, Paloma and Sandeesh (sp?) last year but there's a severe hottie deficit this year. The standards have dropped dramatically Cleopatra (Melody) seems to be the hottest! :(

    Jim is the standout candidate so far and seems easily the most capable of the lot of them. I like Tom as he seems a cliche-free zone on the Apprentice which is a rare thing indeed. But I suspect he's going to get eaten alive as he seems to speak honestly when he should know that simply won't work on this show. If he could learn how to downgrade everyone else's achievements and wildly exaggerate his own accomplishments then he might have a chance.

    What's odd is that we are two episodes in and some on the girl's team have hardly had any screen time. There are quite a few passengers on that team at the moment.

    This is the same every year, I'll be surprised if there's not some stragler who's name we only get used to at week nine or something.

    Jim Eastwood claims to be a former All-Ireland Cycling Champion though there is no record of this anywhere.

    Under 12 road race champion in Phoenix park many years ago . FACT!

    Yay, I'm not the only freak that thinks that.

    Best line of the show so far was Sugar describing Edward like a slow internet connection.

    Jim winked at Leon at the end of the second show, or at least the show was edited to suggest same.

    I think Tom has a good shout. He has that enerpreneurial streak as oppossed to someone that had say the capability of Stella. Think you've nailed his downfall, far too nice.
