Going by business plans alone, I agree with Sugar's decision.

Sorry to see Daniel and Roisin gone, though.

Anyone else get the impression Daniel *really* didn't want to appear on You're Fired?

At least Daniel will provide great entertainment on You're Fired if he's fired!

He was very good! You could sense out of all the candidates so far (except Stephen maybe!) Dara was very eager to chat to Daniel! Wished the spent more time interviewing him, was definitely rushed with three candidates being fired.

Do they get a bonus of some sort for appearing on 'you're fired'? It's funny at the start of the series because a lot of the candidates probably knew they wouldn't win and were sacked so early as to not leave them that disappointed. At this stage of the competition, it can feel a bit forced and awkward because the candidates are more serious and they have to laugh at footage of their dreams being shattered.

It must of been hard for Roisín in particular, the interviewers and Sugar, Nick and Karen all but said that if it was the old format, she would've walked it.

As much as I like The Apprentice, I don't like the way the interview episode is edited. The interviewer is often shown asking a very difficult question or remark and then a shot of the candidate looking completely stumped. I'm sure many of them actually responded but it wasn't shown

Big response for Roisin on the after show, most comprehensive 'hired' vote of the series by the panel and audience. Still think she was a little hard done by, they were really slating her for her idea being taken already, but at the same time the 2 idea's in the final are hardly revolutionary either?

So disappointed that Roisín's plan wasn't that good, I wanted her to win so badly.

I must say though, it's been great to watch Bianca bloom into an extremely credible candidate over the last few weeks, she's improved so, so much. I also enjoyed watching the programme on Tuesday night where we got a lot more insight into Bianca, I didn't actually realise just how successful she'd been before the show. I'm backing her to win in the final

She lost all credibility when she started crying on cue in my opinion.

Watched my first episode of the season last night, flicking through.

Knew it was going to well for Daniel when he was being interviewed, then BAM. A full 2 pages of clip art.

Roisin kinda reminded me of Una Healy.

Considering Roisin left her job last year to pursue this business she really should have more research done. Claiming it to be a unique product was her downfall. Ready meals is a low margin high volume product. It's a tough business as a sole trader unless you get on board with the major supermarkets who will take most of the profit. Needing bank finance and €750,000 k in the first year it really was a no brainer for Mr. Sugar.

Regarding the other applications, Mark was an easy choice as he had a good business plan, already worked in the industry and has a good track record. Then it came down to 50/50 between Bianca and Daniel. Daniels track record probably came back to haunt him.

Overall, if I was hiring an employee it would be between Roisin and Mark but I was really disappointed with Roisin's business idea and therefore I feel Sugar made the correct choice.

Why is bank finance not an option. That's ridiulous - it's tax efficient to have some debt to reduce taxable profits.
Roisin also did prove in the last task that she could get a large retailer to place a large order. They seemed to think that was impossible.

So essentially, you can only have a small business or a very cheap business to set up. Don't think that was ever mentioned at the start. Cheap businesses mean low barriers to entry and essentially an over crowded market. Only option then is to have a unique product (like Bianca). No mention of how much it'll cost her to set up. I think that to will be very costly and face many of the same issues Rosin would.

I'm glad Roisin said she was going to continue with the business. Would be great to see her being successful.

I know they say these people leave their current jobs to start up, but it's not like they'd have trouble finding as good a job if they wanted to go back.

A typical Indo report here... :rolleyes:

I always think they are asked to place an imaginary order with the idea that there is already a factory churning out thousands of the product already.

Don't tell me she's sticking her face on the packaging. :eek:

Any idea how to watch You're Fired? Doesn't seem to be repeated and it clashed on the Sky Box last night

Claude's interview strategy in a nutshell.

Claude: 'You're sh!t'.

Candidate: 'But...'

Claude: 'No You're sh!t '.

Candidate: 'I'm...'

Claude: 'You're sh!t '.

Candidate: 'Ok'.

NEDDURC

Was a classic last night with Solomon and Claude.

He praised him so much about the CV and application form but then just asked him to leave for the Business plan being so bad. Solomon went toward the window and you could see him holding back the laughter when he'd to tell him where the door was!
