I am surprised the bookies even take bets on reality tv as all it would take is for a show runner or other hanger on to place a massive bet sure in the knowledge they would win. A bet could easily be placed anonymously.

That's exactly what I would have thought.

They film a final boardroom with two outcomes and only show the 'real' one on the night so not even the contestants know who won. In the time between filming and broadcast of the final, both are usually set up with temp jobs in his companies.

Week 2: Fashion brands/TV Shoot. Jessica vs Mckye(?)

With all the access they have surely just get lotus flower symbols, red circles, cherry blossoms. They're very much neglecting the Japanese thing.

Jamie2k9 · 13-10-2016 9:16pm

My God a photo shoot for jeans without jeans.

Are they that really that tick?

Richard Hillman · 13-10-2016 9:17pm

Losing the jeans has the be the biggest calamity of all time

Also, Why say "Japanese Denim"? Just put "Tokyo" or "Japan" underneath the brand

Meauldsegosha · 13-10-2016 9:17pm

Crying because you lost a pair of jeans it not good.

Richard Hillman · 13-10-2016 9:32pm

Crap ad for the ladies. Looks like a feminine hygiene product

Richard Hillman · 13-10-2016 9:35pm

Pants by both of them. (Pun only intended half way through writing that)

Richard Hillman · 13-10-2016 9:50pm

They better not get rid of The Big K

Actually surprised he didn't fire more than just Nathalie.

The BBC are obsessed with quota's. They just seen a Scot (tick) a female (tick) very working class (tick)

Bizarrely Lord Alan thought they overdid the Japanese thing. Which is odd as that's their only selling point

Aye it's his usual contrary rubbish. He was one step away from "Why would they spend x on your jeans when they can get a pair in Tesco for a fiver?". For all his love and experience (lol) of marketing he often goes on like it means absolutely nothing.

Sugar is a dope though - bit of a Del Boy with a lot less charisma. Business Mogul does not equal Especially Clever Human Being - sometimes it does, but ultimately any auld tit can do well in business, a lot of it is being brave enough to take a gamble on something in the first place ie. investing money into an idea and hoping you can pull it off (and then there's super tits like Donald Trump who were born with a silver spoon in their mouths, at least with Sugar I can respect the fact he had no money to begin with).

Don't forget telling Sky how much ITV are bidding for the rights to the Premier League so that you can make money from making Sky boxes.

both marketing strategies were deplorable.. Lord S had a right to be disgusted..

when the teams divide its like they have no idea how to communicate

Meauldsegosha · 14-10-2016 11:02am

Bad bunch of candidates this year. Even in week two there would normally be 1 or 2 candidates with potential which stand out.

Natalie was the right choice to go last night and I think Mukai should have gone as well. Not sure why he brought in JD back to the boardroom. I reckon Kathir will stay for a few more weeks for entertainment value.

can't rem his name - but the monobrow guy is infuriating - he must only have been kept in for entertainment..
Same goes for the PM of the girls last night - can't rem her name..

yeah they are very poor this year - can't see anyone with potential at this stage - maybe Rebecca - but its hard to know at this stage with all the cat fights..

_Kaiser_ · 15-10-2016 12:43pm

Just caught up with this week's episode.. agree with the above - they're all incredibly poor this year. Sugar should have fired 4 of them at least, and yer one Natalie has a constant sneer and
attitude problem I think.

I thought at one stage it may be a slight physical disability thing, that her face/lips are just stuck in what appears to be a sneer. Haven't seen the You're Fired programme yet to confirm.
She surely wasn't the worst of the 6 though - Alanna couldn't actually string a sentence together in her own defence and was a shoe-in to go so clearly must have a business plan that Siucre finds somewhat interesting.

Fairly terrible bunch of candidates so far.

Fwiw I thought the cylindrical box for the jeans was a neat idea and enough for that team to be declared the winner.

Same. Whilst their campaign wasn't great I thought they had the basics done much better, particularly when the boys team didn't even get their interactive advertisement completed.
