when siralan asked noorul did he have any ideas, noorul said yes and was about to explain, but only to be interrupted.
It's obvious whatever idea's he brought to the table were edited out....similar thing happened last week...he's just there to be laughed at.. he's become a running joke of the show.. Obviously last night the team went with Pants Man but the week he was PM he had the best possible opportunity to implement his ideas and make sure the focus was on him. Yes, his team won last week but from what we saw it was in spite of Noorul, not because of him. Would the production team edit so much out if they thought Noorul had a serious chance of winning? |

Noorul is a living legend. Quite possibly the most talented, dynamic candidate in the history of The Apprentice:

In the same way that in past series, candidates that could make articulate and cogent assesments of how things were going were clearly being asked questions that would elicit negative responses (off camera) and these were then edited in to make those candidates seem to be negative and poor team players. |

I have been wondering why a Science teacher wants to go on the Apprentice, and why he was let on when he has all the business acumen of a fish and less personality than a plank of wood.
![]() ![]() ![]() Yeah, I must admit, I too wondered why a science teacher would want to go on The Apprentice, it just doesn't 'go' somehow. The only reason I can think of is that, as I said on another thread, the quality of the candidates and their so-called business acumen has been going down over the years to the point where even I've started to think 'God, I could do a better job on some of these tasks than these guys' (I'm a library assistant, not a big business person by any means). So Noorul maybe started to think along the same lines, he must be an intelligent guy to be a science teacher. He must also have the force of personality to control classes etc. However, I think he has found himself sadly out of his depth, as I know I would too if I got on there (don't worry guys, I've no real intention of applying, you won't be seeing Pint in the boardroom anytime soon ).

I think he's just fairly quiet and they are producing the edits to play that up.

A complete and utter wet lettuce. Wouldn't know personality if it smacked him in the face.
He's just got nothing what so ever about him, nothing. Is there any point in him being there ? How did he get through the auditions? It completely baffles me. |

Is Sir Alan was running a chain of libraries, Noral would be a perfect candidate.

Surely editing can only do so much, though. I know quite often someone can come across quite badly, and then you see them on YF or other programmes, and they seem fairly normal &c, but if Noorul had made some kind of genuine contribution, it would be hard not to show.
I thought they were painting Phillip to be a bit of a plonker on the exercise task, showing him gyrating all the time! But eventually all that jiggling around lead to a great idea. The way he got there might have looked ridiculous, but he produced a result. Noorul however has not produced such a result or made such a contribution of enough worth to break through his seeming lack of competence, which suggests to me he is just that incompetent. He failed repeatedly to make decisions as PM and his team members' frustration was evident on several occasions. I cannot believe this was just a few splices of footage cleverly edited. And I can't believe his selling skills and manner suddenly improved but weren't shown. Moreover, both Paula and Kim have shown dismay at the lack of his ability on leaving the show, once editing has finished. |

I imagine Noorul in the BR would go something like this:
"Noorul, why shouldn't I fire you?" "I..Sir Alan, I... I don't know... "

I think if someone came and punched him in the face he would just lie there on the floor in silence praying that the attacked fled

Noorul is a very interesting candidate if you ask me. He's different to any we've seen so far. For some people, loud=personality, but being quiet is also a personality. I think Noorul actually has one of the most extreme personalities if you look at him in this respect.
And yes, it could have a lot to do with editing, but he is one of the most talked about characters. Plus, they're making fun of him on YF every week now, which isn't very nice. It's not like he's bullying anyone. |

There's being quiet, competent, and getting on with it. And just being a bit out of your depth, knowing it and not saying/doing anything. He didn't use his extreme quietness to get on the show after all! Then realised he was not in the right environment and shut himself up in his shell. He is an extreme character, just at the extremely dull end of the spectrum. |

He is an extreme character, just at the extremely dull end of the spectrum. They have experience of how different sorts of people turn out on the programme. They can't even claim he was put in for entertainment value because a load of people saying "Noorul is useless, oh, yes he is, isn't he?" is hardly cutting edge entertainment. |

You may be right but if you are it says more about the incompetance of the production company than it does about Noorul.

Had he gone in the soap task, it would have been the right time. A bit of comedic value at least. Whereas now the joke is starting to go too far into the competition. |

A car with the headlights permanently busted. A question without an answer. A creme filled biscuit with the creme licked out. |

I just can't wait to see him on YF to get a clearer idea of what he's really like.
Unfortunately I don't think they are allowed to mention the editing (or much else about the inside workings of the series). |

You know, Lohit and Ifti were wastes of space in series 3. Tuan was a waste of space in series 2. They never pushed themselves to the front, they never came up with one idea between them, they never contributed anything to any of the tasks - they just kept under the radar and for the most part were completely forgettable.
Tuan posted a lot onto the IF forum, and from that we know a lot about what he contributed behind the scenes. He was good with the numbers, and generally intelligent and sensible, but quiet. Towards the end he got demoralised because Sir Alan kept Syed in the game despite his appalling behaviour. In task 8 Syed missed a deadline, lied about the reason, but Sharon was fired instead. After that Tuan didn't bother to fight in the boardroom because he had no faith in Sir Alan's decisions. I don't know so much about Lohit, but to me he was also stronger than he got credit for. Certainly stronger than Simon, who won that series. |

IIRC there is always one candidate with no business background. There was the mature student in series one who got kicked out week one (I think) wasn't there a pharmacist (or chemist or something) who had wacky ideas.
Maybe the producers just put one in for a laugh, they always seem out of their depth when it comes down to the fact that almost all of the tasks are about being Arthur Daley. |
