where do you even begin

st over-priced dated bike - I don’t believe for a second those orders are legit.
What difference does the colour make - the buyer could order whatever shade they want

Biff is a complete tool

Based on their accounts and inability to pay suppliers I suspect Shugs will send them a proforma being shipping anything. I really want a dated 20kg £2000 crap bike so bit of a shame really.

Thomas will get through to the final, Lord Sugar likes him, being a bit of a diamond geezer and he will really have to fk up big style to be sacked (imo)

Most of the women are totally useless.

Hmm. Cockney geezer vs Ethnic non-contributor?

Not a difficult decision really... No surprises this week!

1700 quid wholesale for a crappy bike, right ok...
Glad Thomas survived. By far the most entertaining.

I missed the start, but no couldn't grasp how their bike was worth £1700 wholesale.

Fantasy numbers way above the usual £20 per person they usually make on more realistic tasks. laugh

That's because your ideas suck Lottie.
She is an unbearable little madam. Mummy and Daddy have told here she's the bee's knees all her life and now she's in the big wide world where people tell her the truth.

I've worked with many people like her that think just because they come up with many ideas all of them should be implemented.

Yeah, Lottie's not nice, but she had better ideas on the bike with names other than, bounderby or e-cig or whatever.

There's something quite entertaining and strange with ol' Lottie Lion. She has the look of a euro pornstar, have we perhaps seen her playing the part of "the librarian"..
Feisty and not quite as sharp as she thinks she is.
Entertaining old crud as ever, brightens up an evening. I've a pal who sounds just like the new cockney barrow boy (younger one) and it's great listening to his undying enthusiasm for anything he can sell while annoying lord Sug

greggy50 - you nailed it with these comments:

- Very strange that they are judged on turnover and not profit...

- It made me laugh at one point when a candidate would have happily lowered the sale price to £1k to sell 5 more bikes when they had already agreed 20 at £2k a pop... They really are fking idiots nowadays compared to the earlier series


I assume that companies like Raleigh don't want their costs or pricing structure revealed. This made the whole challenge pointless. The winning strategy could have been: "How many electric bikes do you want for £10 each" Halfords: "we'll take a million at that price". Instant £10mio order and a day at the Go Karts.

It was Lottie who leapt at the comedy 'increased' offer. Showing a fine mixture of stupidity, inexperience and naivety. Had it not been Lottie, who is easy on the eye, feisty and currently the pantomime villain - that candidate would have been sitting in the back of the black cab.

This episode was like children playing at shopkeepers, with their parents as the customers.

Tommy is comedy gold.

A parody of himself almost.

The number of times we say " bish bash bosh" when watching...
