Ethnic sackee again, what a surprise! I hesitate to mention it, but I wonder if anyone else has noticed how often the early stages of the process sees the departure of the ethnic candidates. Happens every year and it's becoming obvious Shugs . Think I'll have to do a bit of research to back this up...

What a load of ste. They were sacked for being rubbish.

The guy last night was pretty clueless. Even afterwards he failed to admit the product quality was the biggest reason for the failure.

Pitre - in your research, check out the winners of series 1, 5 and 14

Did anyone notice that Claude was with the boys sub team when they met with the corporate client who rejected their product and then in the very next scene he was with the main team as they received the phone call from the sub team to say she hadn't bought them?

Not all reality TV is real, shocker.

Said the same to the wife. I might be wrong (and can't be arsed looking back) but he might have had a different shirt on! Could've just been the lighting in the bar place though.

I guess the editors don't give a st about it appearing real either?

You know his boardroom shown really isn't his real one. Or the people on the show may appear as idiots when in reality they are idiots as it makes better TV.

[oddball1313]

Every one of them is a hateful, lying, useless arrogant tt. No real world experience and think that selling to people is just opening your gob and letting noise come out.

God I hate this show but Mrs Oddball makes me endure it

I wonder what Ryan-Marks username is?

You literally couldn't make it up....

You could...because it's ALL made up. There isn't a single genuine business decision in the programme. It's all artificial and designed to get a specific end-result.

Looking at this week's episode - Boy's Team Corporate order gets rejected (let's be honest, all milk/chocolate lollies look like penises) whereas the Girls' Team order (basically frozen herb garden slushies) gets accepted at a revised/higher Unit cost! Even the premise is ridiculous - why would any half-decent company place an order for a "premium" product from a bunch of incompetents? You wouldn't, expect for the publicity it generates....

On the other hand I suspect if it was a genuine program based on business decisions it'd be the most boring ever.

Not only this but I loved the 4am phone call! you have 20 minutes, then it is daylight outside when they leave! Almost as if they want to show people there working 20 hour+ day, complete pony!!!

I know its make belief but come on lets do it a bit better!

What always winds me up is the fact that 8 people or whatever are given an almighty leg up, such as being given a kitchen with all ingredients to make ice lollies in then being given a venue, for example London zoo and also being lined up with a corporate company that wants to buy some fking lollies.

At the end of it all they have 'made' £400 or so they are then pleased with themselves because they made a profit. Its painful really, id be fking embarrassed if i had a team of 8 which 'made' £400 in a day

I know its tv and its not really real but still, it winds me up. That said i watch it every year and love it. It gives me some comfort that i have never had to be involved with utter cretins like these types.
