The Apprentice UK 2018

Scott Tenorman

Frank looked as if he was about to burst into tears every time he spoke!

No complaints about him leaving although the other two could have just as easily went.

Chilli sauce on a donut? Seriously WTF??!

It's taken me a whole day to come out of the daze it induced and realise "my God, it really happened. An adult wanted to put a teabag on top of a doughnut."

A TEABAG?!?!?!?!

Felt sorry for Frank, very harsh on him

I didn't feel one iota of sorriness for Frank. Both my partner and I found him very irritating. His display in the boardroom last week made him look like he was facing the gallows not being fired from a reality TV show, and when youre given the job of frying one hundred donuts, you get on with it, not bitch and moan the whole time. Tom, love him or hate, had to go back to Frank 3 times to get him to refocus. Refocus - on frying donuts. :rolleyes:

More diverse? A kid really said that?

The girl did point out that there were no girls, so yeah, a kid really said that.

Frank was just too emotional and in business there's no room for sentiment.

Mantis Toboggan

Think Jasmine is my favourite so far, think she'll do well.

No one has jumped out at me so far, apart from Kayode being good at selling. If someone doesn't come to the fore next week, as would be expected at this stage, then it looks like we may be headed for yet another weak year.

In fairness, the teabag idea was slightly less awful than the idea of sprinkling dry tea from the teabag for flavour.

Was it though?
One of them is edible at least the other isnt....in fairness all those doughnuts looked blooming horrendous, the jammy dodger one especially.

To be honest, I thought sprinkling the tea on the donuts was more weird than putting a tea bag on top. Neither are good ideas, but I say this as a tea drinker, sprinkling the tea on top would not be for me at all.

Frank went from very confident man to a crumbling mess in the space of the two boardrooms.

The American girl and the black guy with the big smile are the stand outs so far for me.

Exclamation Marc

Alex made it so easy for him to be fired.

Such gibberish coming out of his mouth ("I've a millionaire mind" and claiming he was not just the best but also a natural born salesman in the wrong place at the wrong time was just pathetic.

If you've sold nothing, take a different tactic.

seligehgit

That was an easy call.

Karim is on the last of his nine lives.

Ricky a lucky boy with his lack of sales.

Loving Pogba and Sabrina comes across very well.

Our learned friend's deficiencies as a PM,badgering the equipment chap re price were masked by the win.

Mantis Toboggan

Alex simply had to go.

Seems to be a few there that are looking to be fired namely Karrum and Rick.

castletownman

Sian all the way for me.

Mainly because I think she is gorgeous

everlast75

Some really dodgy sales lines from Rick and Tom for the sauna - borderline sleazy!

Exclamation Marc

This boardroom has double firing written all over it.

Under His Eye

That was a let down after the build up.

Exclamation Marc

Just the one gone but a few more could have been dumped.

Kurran is a dead man walking and is gone next week if his team doesn't win.

everlast75

Broke with tradition(?) and fired someone not nominated by the PM.

Tbh surprised Rick wasn't pulled back in.

Still Ill

Actually still stunned that those pink shoes won. They were laughably bad!

IvySlayer

Really thought he was gonna sack at least 2 people tonight.

Surprised Kurran is still there

siblers

There was one scene where a buyer turned down the chance to buy the runners(the bit where the two girls had a bit of an altercation) , but then in the next scene it shows him placing an order for the runners with the other selling team

I take the opposite view from the events at the end of that episode - Kurran is protected and a cert for the Final 5.

He was the obvious and easy one to be fired from the 3 that were originally to be brought back into the boardroom, so the only logic in Siucre changing it is that he wanted to save him but realised he couldn't logically fire either of the other two.

Wouldn't be surprised if when he is pm that it's one of those tasks where Lord Sugar decides the winner based on some spurious reasoning rather than the overall sales figures deciding.

Could be an Inventor Tom job alright.

Widdensushi

While that observation makes sense i cannot see how anyone would want to be 'working' with curran.

He wants to be an actor and the task he's been told to PM by Sugar in involves making an advert for TV, so they couldn't make it more up how str t.

He wants to be an actor but in the comic book task he couldn't do the lines and the movement at the same time for the VR cover. He seems like spoofer to me but sure we will see. Must have something good in his business plan to not have been fired last week.

It is meant to be entertainment also though,they might keep some poor candidates till the later stages of the show for that.I dont think too many of the past winners went on to be a massive success

He also wanted to pitch as he was "the one" and failed miserably with that. Cannot see him winning that.
