That Bianca looks like the alien from the 'Predator' films. Massive forehead.
Great contribution and said numerous times already.





I am not convinced that there have been any reasonable business plans in this series. Shugs is going to end up with the best of a bad bunch.

It would almost be better if the competition over the weeks was to win £250k to do with as you please then at least the best candidate would walk away as the winner, even if all they want to do is splurge the cash on drugs, hookers and fire trucks.

Ah well, not likely to be that then!

I wonder if she just had a quick google....

Still, all she had to say was something like "Ok, it's not unique but they will have confirmed there is a market for the product for us to exploit, and just one competitor is good news"
the thing is i think the product is a bit 'mocolate', a bit st. The jelly form is banned in the usa because it causes chocking, i.e we assume it dissolves, but it doesn't. i don't think it is the world beater, i think it is another tofu type product, never appeal tot he masses.

Agreed. The format has been considerably changed from the earlier "Apprentice" concept. Better still, use some/all of it to start their own business venture irrespective of any plans.

£250k is a minute fraction of the return on the series from the broadcaster. Lord Sugar shows concern about that sum as a partnership investment. In reality, he couldn't give a monkey's.

Credibility all shot away for me.

They could even start the next series with an interview with last years winner to see how they got on Suggs could say "Told you so!" Or whatever...

In this world of equal opportunities and Karren Bloody Brady talking bks in his ear. It's the ladies turn to win.

Terrible to say, but I think that's what it'll be.

Bianca in danger of doing something she wants, rather than something the market wants.

I dont know if i can bring myself to watch Mark's pitch. The guy is going to die on his ass if his Tesco pitch was anything to go by.
