Got mine, except that Shibby said it on 'You're Fired!', which doesn't count.

Damn!

Sugar said "one trick" so I win

Also did anybody count how many time shibby said "essentially"?

Can I make an early bid for 'if you make me project manager next week I won't let you down'. I don't think we've seen that one yet but it can only be a matter of time.
I believe Sandeesh said something similar to this, so 1 point to you!

I sold more than anyone else on my team.
Pretty close to what Shibby said, so 1 point to you

So that's Lizzie8008 and Paulie Walnuts win this week, with a joint score of, eh, one. At least, on first viewing. I have to run back over it a few times and confirm there were no cliches mentioned here that I missed, but I think that's it.

OK, then, round two begins. You can
a) stick with the phrase/word you already have
b) change it to one already here, as long as the ORIGINAL chooser of that word does not post within three days reclaiming the cliche (in other words, for the next episode all cliches are again up for grabs: if you want to hang on to yours you need to repost saying it's the one you want to stick with, BEFORE someone else takes it)
c) choose another cliche entirely

Votes up to 8pm Wednesday, one cliche per person.
The pressure is on now!

(Oh, and as already correctly pointed out, saying the phrase during YF does not count: it has to be in the actual show, though replays ARE allowed)

Good luck!

Yay! Just watched the show this morning. I have to admit I had completely forgotten about this until they were in the boardroom. I did actually cheer out loud when I heard it.

Can I switch to 'i'm passionate' for next week? After LS knocked her back the others might be too wary to try it again.

A very good choice. You should be in for a few points with that one!

Also, as already mentioned, it has to be a SPOKEN cliche. The helicopter view is seen almost every episode, as is the candidates going in cars to their task etc, so they're not cliches. It needs to be a phrase or word: a list is shown earlier in this thread, to give you an idea.
