Well she's got a great body lol

She seems okay, haven't really seen much of her yet.

I thought she was pretty good

Interesting description of Yasmina:

"Yasmina Siadatan, 27, a Restaurateur from London :Emma Watson + Missi Pyle + Serenity Hair = Yasmina. Hopefully she has as much deft command of the business world as it looks like she does of her eyebrows. One of those things could kill a man I swear. She’s another well-travelled one, having lived in Iran, the USA and Hull. That’s right, glamorous Hull. Judging from her profile she talks a good game, but there’s an aura of barely perceptable evil hoveringaround her that bothers me. Well that and she’s a “Restaurateur” which I can’t imagine is going to go down too well with Siralan. Why on earth would you have a job where everyone can tell what it MEANS just by READING it? She should be a Senior Consultant Consumer Edibles Advisor Retail Marketing Manager or something. Much clearer."

I really liked her in episode one, I thought she was great when talking to customers, and had a really good positive energy about her. Look forward to seeing how she develops thru the series!

She looks like she's returned from the future to cleanse humanity.

Pure Evil that one - you'll see.

She looks like an android

Hmmm went off her a bit yesterday - still think she has great drive, but she is a bit too bullish and inflexible I think when it comes to pushing thru her ideas. Still, although the food was rubbish that they produced, from a business point of view in terms of profit generated, they did well. Would they get a repeat order from the client tho? NO!

Shame her hair has none(meow)
Has anyone tracked down her resturant yet?

restaurant in Reading. Quite good I'm told, but more because of the chef brother than the Apprentice sister who can't tell her canapes from her canned tuna.

It'll be this one - LINK

"We are able to provide outside catering specifically tailored to your needs. Please call to enquire."

Err, no thanks.

Regarding Week 2, She managed her team really well and looked to have got her priorities right and stuck to them (not wasting suralan's money)

I've got a feeling that she'll get to the Interview stage.

She had a bad attitude to the quality of the food she served, but I couldn't help feeling pleased for her when she was told what their reward was. She was so happy to be going to play polo!

She looks like she was in B*witched! I can see her being one of the last ones left at the minute.

Her face is a bit sour but good body. As for her restaurant: after seeing the overpriced dross she served up as supposed food: no thanks!

I think she has just done a Gerald Ratner job on her restaurant

Who would want to eat food like hers when we know the depths she will stoop to make a profit.

Repeat business is down the drain

She still has to work after the Apprentice, if she doesnt win it.

Looking at the menu, it sounds great. I'm not sure I'd book her to do my outside catering though

I was actually very impressed by the way she WASN'T sidetracked by wanting to show off her cooking skills, which is what most of us would have done. She was supremely professional in that she understood the brief, and delivered the winning package.

Hadnt you noticed the client refused to pay her full price for such shoddy food & service?

I know it was very poor indeed but if the standard is what you want and you pay top whack for it, I dont care.

Read between the lines on the restaurant menu, rabbit pate, pigs cheeks, what a culinary delight.

The Reading Evening Post is on her side.

If you notice the date on the article

It was April 1st

However, lets give her the benefit of the doubt, her food was rubbish, but she won

What else has she up her sleeve

I think she shows a lot of promise. I felt she was a good team leader on Wednesday. She showed authority but also got her team motivated too. The food may have been rubbish but that was down to everyone. She seems to have a lot of drive and passion.

I can see her lasting a long time but maybe she should be a bit more friendly? The way she spoke down to the woman with glasses (Lorraine?) saying she had to be more precise with what she's saying, that wasn't very nice. She needs to earn herself some friends and respect.

Yup. She's the double for Edele Lynch (from B*witched).
