Apprentice UK 2016

How easy would it have been to cheat?

Text a few friends to pledge a tenner each, bam

I used to hate Karthik, but he really seems to have calmed down and is probably the favourite atm

That Sophi guy should have been in the boardroom also. He completely ballsed up the pitch and was every bit as bad as Paul.

I think she wants them to pronounce it like that. They couldn't be all getting it wrong. Could it be that since she's from the North she's being fancy and saying it differently?

Probably over thinking it but with this load of idiots anything's possible.

As someone with a somewhat unsual name that some people manage to screw up, after a while you just give up correcting them and go with it. In my case they aren't even pronouncing it wrong they're saying a completely different name. Even if she wins the thing, she'll only have to spend a few months around them and will rarely see them again after that so she probably isn't all that bothered by it.

Definitely the most cringey episode so far. The miming thing was terrible and the song wasn't much better. I better Sugar gets a good laugh out of making the contestants do embarrassing things.

Lord Sugar had the closest pronunciation of all of them, at least he bothered to change the sound of the 'a' slightly.

I didn't really buy into the narrative that Paul shouldn't have been in the boardroom tbh, I thought he was useless and should have gone alongside JD.

I don't like Paul, he's very surly.

If he's like that in real life I imagine he must be an awful pain in the arse to work with.

Can't believe sufjan was not brought into the board room..

And I think that Paul should be gone instead of JD - he is like a ticking bomb..

The 3 lads should have been in the boardroom. Sofean should probably have gone. He's fairly aimless.

I think Rebecca was very lucky to stay too. Her video was really terrible and marketing is supposed to be her forte. She's been a bit shit in general.

I think Sofiane was the one to get away this week. He was shocking last week as PM and his hospital pass on the pricing is what actually lost them the task this week. JD was poor but it was that pricing misstep that cost them dearly.

Nobody really standing out as firm favourite this year but I expect the next couple of weeks when the numbers are trimmed is when we'll see who's up to it. Courtney is the only one so far who seems to have his head screwed on and not made any memorable clangers whereas nearly everyone else has.

Yeah, that was a real mess up. I think 12 headphones was something like £380 so imagine if they had sold 180 of them to the big retailer? :eek:

I don't know about Courtney, he hasn't impressed me so far. I think Alana, Karthik, Jessica, Trishna and Grainne all have potential. Possibly Dillon too.

I still don't know who half of them are! But I have to admit I'm usually doing something else while watching this year, not catching my full attention.

gosh i have no idea who Courtney is - male or female?

that fact that i don't know who they are = not sure if thats a good thing or a bad thing

Courtney is one of the young fellas who it very quiet at the moment, you just know he's biding his time to shine. He kind of reminds me of David Stevenson from last year. Yeah I couldn't remember his name but I remembered the Pet Show episode where he popped out of nowhere and was PM.

He's the dude who said in his intro that he wasn't just boyish good looks.

Folks, missed the first few episodes as was away. Anywhere I could watch them online please?

Tried BBC iPlayer but won't let me view as I'm not in the UK, any thoughts?

I remember that alright. I think they change it slightly each time they do it. Never remember it been done over night before.

Jaysus 5 items - 1 hour, I don't think Trinsna team is going to win, I say Rebecca will be fired this week, especially if they lose which I say they will

BabysCoffee

Love this task

ahlookit

Didn't they do the task in Morocco once too?

Always one of the highlights

Is Alan ever going to say Irish names correctly - Rosín (I think was 2 series ago) and now Grainne

Is Morocco in Turkey? Did I hear right? LOL

If I was Trisna I would take in Rebecca (the whole south London thing) and Soph

Yeah and these are supposed to be smart business people

Rebecca I suspect will go. Chickened out of project managing and mixed her soap and soup up and tahine and tajine!

Gashmuncher

Both teams were cr*p at the task, why did they not go to a Morrocan restaurant (London is full of them) and ask to buy one.

You can even buy a tagine in Ikea

It's time for Rebecca to go, she seems to make 1 mistake every week, that she doesn't think is a big deal

She's a pretty poor candidate.

Agreed and she seems to make the same excuse every week , she should of gone in week 1

Easy decision.

We must be coming up to a double firing soon

Gashmuncher

The Irish guy will go as soon as he lands on the team that doesn't win. He does nothing and has been lucky not to be exposed.

sporina

awe I think Sufiane should have gone.. Rebecca is not soo clever but he is arrogant and useless

Masala

The Irish guy us keeping well under the ladder... Even Sugar hasn't address a word to him in weeks.

Jeez... Haven't see him do a tap of work since it started. He must have some business plan to be still in the game at this stage
