Loved the scene with the footy blokes ...
"We were looking at only spending about £200 to £300 with you."
"I'm looking at more the £400 mark."
"I would say at this stage we'd look to buy less than that from you."
"I understand what you're saying but ..."
"You need to hear what we're saying ..."
What a bunch of t&ssers! You either sell the customer what he wants, or run the risk of selling him sod all.
On the bright side, Frances looked dead cute in her little sweetie-selling outfit.

Does the show feature some of your music then?..
Nope, I drive the getaway vans.
Luckily, I don't have to negotiate.

I enjoyed the lad who wanted to try and push the price up on delivery then bottled it."We were looking at only spending about £200 to £300 with you."

Then he had to nerve to say 'I was that close to asking for more' - obviously believing his football blob patter had the chap fooled.
I wish he had - because the club were obviously working on the basis that it was £300 and they didn't want to look ungracious on tele by haggling over the product not being as described.
So if he had tried to ask for more, you could see he would have been perfectly prepared to refuse and walk off...which would have been a nationally broadcast lesson in manners for the little cock rocket....
If I'd have been the Brighton football club bloke I'd have said "Sorry, these are not what we ordered, (Which to be fair they weren't), I'll take them off your hands as a favour for £150.... take it or leave it."
The contestants were very lucky he was feeling charitable.
I know it's really only an entertainment show, but the calibre of some of applicants. sheesh!

I can only assume that the production company put severe constraints on certain situations which renders it far more difficult. Otherwise I have no idea how some of these people manage to dress themselves.BBC Apprentice researcher: Right. Now all we have to do is fill in this Apprentice application form. Name: Baldrick. First name...?
Applicant: Er, I'm not sure.
BBC Apprentice researcher: Well, you must have some idea...
Applicant: Well, it might be Sod off.
BBC Apprentice researcher: What?
Applicant: Well, when I used to play in the gutter, I used to say to the other snipes, "Hello, my name's Baldrick," and they'd say, "Yes, we know. Sod off, Baldrick."
BBC Apprentice researcher: All right, right right right right, Mr. S. Baldrick. Now; distinguishing features... None.
Applicant: Well, I've got this big growth in the middle of my face.
BBC Apprentice researcher: That's your nose, Baldrick. Now; any history of insanity in the family? Tell you what, I'll cross out the in. Any history of *sanity* in the family? None whatsoever. Now then; criminal record...
Applicant: Absolutely not.
BBC Apprentice researcher: Oh, come on, Baldrick, you're going to be on TV, for God's sake! I'll just put fraud and sexual deviancy.
Applicant: Er, I'm not sure.
BBC Apprentice researcher: Well, you must have some idea...
Applicant: Well, it might be Sod off.

I have no idea who Frances is, but then again, I look at the opening sequence, and realise that I've not seen at least half of them so far.It almost makes one wonder if they are focussing on the Soap Opera candidates, because without them, they have no show, as it long ago ceased being about anything resembling "business".

Nope. I still don't recognise her. My missus says she thinks she's seen her before, but that she might be thinking of her fingernail woman.
This is The Apprentice, with Srallan Lordsugarsir yes? Has this Frances person said or done owt yet?
She's the one who said "what does Oliver do? He makes sausages? Hooow? This is The Apprentice, with Srallan Lordsugarsir yes? Has this Frances person said or done owt yet?

I don't know why but after last nights episode I decided to Google Natalie Hughes to see where about in Glasgow her hairdressing salon is (I am in Glasgow). I wasn't expecting to find out she is married to a gangster, has been in court for drug dealing (where 2 co-accused got 2 years in jail), has a brother who deals in pirate DVD's and has previously appeared on X-Factor.
How the heck did she slip through the net and get on the show?
You can see why she's been fired. Given that her drug dealing husband was "the director in a number of companies, including a car wash, a decorating firm and a salon called VIP Boutique in Glasgow’s Gallowgate." it's not hard to believe her current businesses may be money laundering operationsHow the heck did she slip through the net and get on the show?
Husband can't be named for 'legal reasons' which suggests he's still in the s
t. 
293 orders in 2 years... ~20 grand at a guess. Not sure how/why all of these people seem to think they're some kind of business geniuses.

I see Oliver was a researcher on MTV's Pimp My Ride previously to making sausages 
That just seems so out of place.
Or did both at the same time....That just seems so out of place.
