Me too.

The OH said from the start but I'm not normally one to miss stuff like this.

And even I noticed the legs. I'd go as far to say as tonight, she looks better than Kate.
Only because the professional makeup covers up the terrible skin on her face.

Teeth or eybrows, it was a difficult decision for Suralan. He went for the eyebrows.

Come on then - let's have your bids for the two who'll be in Sunday's final.
I stand by what I have said previousley in the thread that Yasmina will be in the final (and win), not sure who else as none of them are that good. Debra is too agresive, Lorraine lied on her CV, Kate is all looks, and James is just a plonker.

Yasmina will win , without a doubt.
Completely agree.
..and I was right biggrin

Good episode tonight IMO. Shame that Rocky bloke was such a miserable sod, no idea why he bothered coming back.

Will Ms Brady (sp?) replace her?

And yes, I wondered why Rocky bothered to come back when he looked like he was just off to slit his wrists..

So will she work for Alan for a year to earn the £100k, then leave and use some of the cash to reinvest in her business? Reasonable way to earn a bit of capital!

I think he made the right decision, not only based on the final (which I thought Yasmina won, in terms of the right price point, packaging and marketing) but also over the length of the contest.

Well I'm very pleased for Yasmina and would like to offer her my 'special cream' to help with her bad skin.

Did anyone hear what she was going to be doing?

She'll be working in Sir Alans new Digital Signage Division. My jaw nearly hit the floor when I heard they were installing screens into GP surgery waiting rooms F.O.C to sell advertising. Isn't that a bit.... beneath... Sir Alan?

It's not a new idea, it's been around for ages and there are literally dozens of companies already doing it, I know, I've worked for a few. Not just that, but a lot of them are bent as fk too.

Thats on the verge of being a scam. We get phoned by companies trying to hard sell us advertising space on such systems. I always turn them down flat.

Yasmina did not sound too keen on it, and mentioned something like "if Alan Sugar thought it was the best use of her talent, then so be it". That and the Lordship & the surrounding debate, has Sugar peaked or past his best before date?

What was the task for the Pterodactyl last year? Wasn't it the Digital Signage Division?

Bent Sales people, rolling contracts, annoying telesales. Seems a step back for Sugar.

Don't they need a bit of a refresh of some sort for next if (if it does go ahead), I do feel like the format is becoming a little tired and silly now. The tasks are all very samey and not too original and I don't think it's got quite the same edge anymore.

Suggestions for a change anyone?

A Drug Dealing Task?

The Teams are given 4 ounces of coke each. It's up to them to maximise their profits and sell as much charlie as possible in a given period of time. During the task they'll have to seek out the best cutting agent to use, work out a ratio of cutting agent to coke to maximise profit whilst still retaining a level quality, find the best areas to sell their product and deal with rival dealers on the way.

hehe
