Prefer Adrian Chiles doing his Match of the Day 2 slow-mos myself.
That Geordie guy speaking Martian was hilarious

no obvious stand-outs at the moment.
Monas approach as leader seems to be doomed, esp the way she took gloves off with the brunette.
Long term, she will make too many enemies and come unstuck.
No standouts amongst the men, but they havent lost yet, so no knowing how they react.
the beardy guy is clearly a Tre looky-likey. the blonde seems to be a Katy Hopkins-lite.
the right person was let go last night.
I wonder if the companies these people left to come on The Apprentice are struck at the sheer mundaneness of their former employees, given how they present themselves ("money is better than sex", "being clever is a given", "rainbow of skills" (ha-ha)), and their willingness (or not) to take charge.
There should be another program "Applying For My Last Job Back After Being Fired From The Apprentice", and see how their former bosses would see them differently (or not) from their performances.
EDIT: clearly I am obsessed with this show. One of the better reality-shows.

I also cringed at the "I know the words to Candle in the wind but that don't make me Elton John" line.....all too contrived.

Episode 2:
I think Rocky should not have gone.
He was let go due to his lack of maturity, but he showed more focus and drive than the hangers-on.
No real stand-outs, still.
That estate agent guy is a weak negotiator. actually, even last week, when they were supposed to be washing cars, he agreed quickly to clean in the insides, even theough the leader said not to.
This week, he went from £65 to £50, to £35 to £17 to close the deal. Very weak. This will cost him.
The "big-gob" guy should have gone. He mentioned tasting "success in his spit". He confessed to a "little wee" when in the board-room in the sister-program "Apprentice:You're Fired", and was said to have "verbal diarhea" (sp). There are very few more body fluids left for him to be ascribed to. I dread to think what specifc fluid might be next on his list.
He and the teacher ("I love the sound of my own voice") are marked to leave in the next two episodes.
Girls: the leader was related to a an "award winning restaurant", but this was strange considering the number of faux-pas made. Collosal baguette canapes, savoury fillings in sweet "blini wraps".
The blondie spoke, in obviously "I-dont-know-what-Im-talking-about" terms. She called one canape "one of the favourites". Her body-language said it all.
the leader however made the money, and will last for another two episodes I think.
Broadly speaking, I am amazed at the utter banality of the people involved, and the banal way they make money.
still good fun though.
maybe this is true of life itself. I dont know, since I havent had to work with people for close on two years.

Exactly. The women are all hardened hussies displaying the warmth of lizards trapped in a snow storm, and the men are all shirt lifters who make julian clary look like Mr T.
If they are all so original and highly skilled and intelligent, why do they need to go begging to that old sid james lookalike?

I have always wondered that too.
They are going for a "six figure" salary.
If they were half-way decent in their current jobs, they should be on that anyway, or close enough. And certainly not worth giving up your current job to go for it, as the costs of failing are greater. ie. loss of privacy, your failings available to all to see.
Must appeal, as you say, to low-level manager-types on 25K-40K in a dead-end job, for the risk to be worth it.
Or the trappings of working for AMS is the attraction!

The program is seriously lame. Its all about posturing, style over substance, brown nosing, being superficial, and so on.
Sadly, this is how the world is.
But why any fool would want to come home from their dreary office existence to watch an hour of this mind numbing dross is beyond me.
If a person is so dull they think watching this tripe will arm them with insight that will help advance their own careers in the weary rat race, i pity the fool.

I watched the football and even watching England stutter, trip and stumble to a win was far more entertaining than The Apprentice could ever be.
Love the bit about Sid James above......Sugar really is a dead ringer for Sid isn't he.
I doubt if Sid would approve of this Apprentice sh1t though.
Carry on.

Lol!
exactly, these surviver holiday camps for the young and pretty people with the Manc and scouse accents, whose only distinguishing qualities are their cliched personalities, and uncomprimising commitments to have the latest clone-like hairstyles and fashion accessories, really are the pits.
Yes the girls might give me a lob on, just like the ones on holyoaks, but this in mind numbing TV at its worst. Where are all the fat kids with hairy armpits, and bad breath??
Reality has gone too far. It is no longer real.

Who's The daddy Now...
Kin A ! Reality smality, you don't see old "sugar daddy" bending his latest intakes over his ikea beech effect corner office suite, teaching them the meaning of how to win business friends and influence people.
"Whats that love, I can't here what ya saying ,what with my c*ck in ya mouth" Oh, how I remember "working" in the office.

Rocky horror show
Im from the same area as Rocky.........
Its not his business his dad owns it, he just manages some of them - fact. He cant string a sentence together never mind build a pannini. Anybody who runs a catering business should know the price of every last spread of butter. His butties by the way, are any filling a £1 or a meal deal
The show is a load of b0llocks, its reality TV, but addictive. Lets think, you are a successful business man, or have an outstanding career, and think, I would love to go on the apprentice - I dont think so, just wannabees like the x factor.
Im suprised Sir Allan can be arsed, but free advertising for him I suppose
The blonde would have to have it, of course ' a bit of northern rough'
:whistling

Need to get Richard Branson or someone else to do it - it is getting boring this year and other than Tim Campbell, who won when it was still a serious show and not pure entertainment, there has never been a winner who is not a complete moron.
