Wow, is Tarek Dr Will's (USBB) baby brother?
Looks more like Orlando Bloom to me

... I wish they showed them at a more sociable time, it's annoying how they show them so bloody late!
Yeah must admit if it's on as late as originally scheduled, I'll probably be giving it a miss!

Don't you have Sky+ or similar? Record it and watch it at your own leisure.

Finding the time to watch 'catch-ups' is very challenging indeed - I already have a backlog. I don't see why they can't schedule it for a similar time as the last lot. It seems to be getting later and later.

Also once I've discovered who's been fired, I have no desire to 'catch-up'.

I’m enjoying Theresa’s choice of tight tops. Bit of a Heather Grahame thing going on......

Garbage disposal............they don't have much of an argument for saying he failed though do they........litter isn't going to feature in the appraisal much.

Why did Brent put his hand on the outside of the shark cage?

Lenny and Brent both make great TV.

The bitches are all such bitches.

Don't like the British Faker.

I don't like Brent, the dudes a tool, he plays off his fatness and acts the victim and i don't find him entertaining or funny @ all.

Tammy's like the popular girl @ school, for all superficial reasonings.

Brent even feels the need to underline his importance by telling the world his full name at the end in the taxi. Thus maying it easer for every personel manager in America to bin any job application from him on sight.

Can't believe how neurotic, deluded, nasty and bitchy this lot are. They could almost be contestants on the British version.

The big Russions about the only one I'd have a drink with in the real world (though being Russion no doubt he'd drink me under the table )

i watched both episodes ..brent self imploded in the last ..he really has issues and may have deserved the criticism from his synergy team members..
in the first ep last night the female from goldrush who got booted off also did the same ..they are really losing their cool in the boardroom at the end and there are not may likeable characters in this series ...

There really is something really satisfying watching people that are over confident ad up their own backsides getting it wrong and being seen as useless pillocks.

Gillette are releasing a new hing called Fusion.

How can none of them think text the word Fusion? Blade5? That wouldn't make me want to text it to see what it is. That's a stupid thing to choose.

Brent is a lawyer? Holy crap! The guy is an idiot. I don't think he should have got the axe for confronting the woman and waving his finger in her face. If you don't use the camera footage then it's one person's word against the other.
However I'm really wondering if he was allowed to stay because he is good for ratings. DT is an executive producer so is hardly impartial.

If you are going to fire people for making one mistake I really can't see how you can call someone a disaster and keep them in the contest. There has to me another motive for his decision.

Episode 3:

Oh dear. What a failure for the Gold Rush. The Jewish holiday was understandable, but I would be annoyed with losing 2 members of my team, for any reason. That comedian The woman who went deserved to go. She couldn't lead a team efficiently, and then couldn't recognise when she should have brought Charmain into the boardroom. :sleep: I felt sorry for Charmaine though

Synergy did very well, and I thought their concept, and their follow though was very good. My favourite is Allie at the moment. She seems determined and helpful to the group dynamic. Again, the British guy annoys me, but that was bound to happen.

PS, anybody that watches BB USA, in the opening titles, when it says 'It's not personal, it's just buisness', it reminds me of Danielle

Episode 4:

Like the challenges from the UK (Pants man, oh dear ), the teams did quite well. I was glad Charmaine did well, and Gold Rush won the challenge. Their concept was very good, and unlike Synergy, they kept calm!

Synergy - 1 word - Brent. He is just terrible. He is impossible to work with, doesn't have the best ideas, the scale one wasn't bad, but a scale isn't the first thing when you think of cereal and I dread to think what he would have done if he did the presentation! The British guy again annoyed me, but Roxanne (the black lady) is really good, I can see her getting far. The red haired woman is also good, and can actually tame Brent! I didn't like Tammy as a project manager, and even though she organised it well, the presentation was too long, and the poster was truly shocking. It was awful. Even I, without any buisness knowledge would know that it was bad - and needed to change.

The most annoying thing was Brent wasn't given any tasks. I do thing he shot himself in the foot, after the rest of the group said that Tammy was a good PR, and then he said she was bad. Also the way he was talking to the rest of the group, especially the red haired lady (I need to learn their names!). Ivankas' point, that he doesn't work well in groups and is a bit socially retarded was very true. I was glad he was fired. An end to that little nightmare of a contestant

Brent's behaviour in the boardroom just shows how stupid he is. If he had been a bit more calm and collected, there's no way he would've been fired. The loss had nothing to do with him, and they couldn't blame him for not contributing either because that was the team's fault and not his.

It's disappointing losing entertaining train wreck characters like him, but people like that have to go early to ensure that there is at least some credibility to the process.

I don't think Charmaine deserved to be brought into the boardroom. If you had to book a comedian that you've never seen or heard of how good would you be at it? Yes she could have gone through the material used. You would expect that a comedian would judge the type of material to suit the crowd and event.
Yes she failed to get the models prepped about the car. However the project manager should have been aware of tthe problem when she went around checking everything, if she did.
IMO Lenny should have gone into the boardroom. How can he think the stage doesn't include lighting and that is his responsibility. He's playing a game and getting away with it. At the start of each task when people are giving input he never suggests anything. He just sits quietly. Then after it's all decided he gets critical so he can say he did say it was wrong.

I love watching this show. Went to Trump Tower a few months ago, but I'd never seen the show and didn't realise the significance.

It's not all that its cracked up to be in the show. 'Trump Grill' was empty. The lobby was very quiet, nearly every shop had closed down completely and the place seemed to be getting quite old. We went up to the top of the escalators and out into the garden and its quite run down really.

They have a little cart selling Apprentice and Trump merchandise in the atrium which made me laugh.

Was nice to see it though and you could tell that maybe in the 80s it would have been very impressive.
