It wasn't that good a show this evening - and Aleksandra throwing a hissy fit and leaving is very selfish and denied an opportunity for another wannabe to be in the prog.
Muckai who did a skype interview from ' Japan' on Who's fired wasn't much better either...though I thought his present of a pic of woman in the window was funny.

Think it's BS that Mukai was fired. Like 4 of them said let's go with scarfs and the PM chose Bags despite this. Plus mukai pushed the window thing, and PM ignored, essentially losing by a bag, which was 30%-40%.

Pm should've been fired.

Mukai has completely underwhelmed despite seemingly having one of the better CVs.

In the edited shows on tv he never seemed to do very much, stands around looking superior. Which admittedly is fairly easy amongst this crowd but surely he knew what he was getting into. Maybe the 5am starts were too much.

Each morning they're woken with an impossible schedule - tonight it was 20 minutes to get to Drapers' Guild. The men arrive shaved and coiffured, the women with full make-up. The journey time must be in a de Lorean. Clearly it's all for effect, but we're not kids ffs.

The woman who walked - can't recall anything about her, bit of a nonentity.
Think the PHer who was on it years ago said that the film crew would rock up making loads of noise and that would wake them up, rather than them only waking up after they get the call.

I think this epidose was the first time the venue for the early morning meeting had any connection with the task, tenuous though it was.

And why bother dragging them to some irrelevant place anyway? Why not just do it in the boardroom? Then they could film it at the end of the previous week's epidose.

Fire 'em both then. She had more todo with the failure than him imo.

I doubt she went in thinking she'd do that. I don't blame her to be honest. Decided she didn't like it and would prefer to see her kids and husband. Won't find me knocking that. The 'can't hack it' statement was fairly predictable - because as we all know The Apprentice is the only thing in life that is important.

I like how the lad who was fired said 'we're at the start of the task, that's not helpful' - bks, frankly. Let's be honest, none of you give a fk about her or her welfare, with your knives ready to be plunged into eachothers back at a moments notice - why should she give a fk about yours?

I'm not convinced it made a massive difference to the task anyway. They are all so busy wandering round with their sales boners (they always find people who freaking love sales at the expense of all else*) that they are getting in each others way anyway.

It's like an episode of phone shop, but with ties.

  • though I suppose in their defence the show is as much about market stall hawking as it is rounded business!
