One Finger
Was that a set up?
The guy had two timeslots and bought from the first. Why???????? - When you know you have two crisp vendors coming to see you merely 5 hours apart. 5 hours is like a week in the world of German chips? Were the first teams crisps that good he had to have them on the spot at 9am? The producers had some kind of hand in this? Whatever the reason it was good telly... |

While these people have been told to act as though it was a genuine deal,it's probably hard to do...
My guess is that it was the fact he made the 9 o clock appointment and then changed it that made the guy think if they really wanted the sale they should come at 9. The 'client' can afford to be a bit unprofessional in this situation and teach them a lesson, because it's no skin off his nose... the candidates, however, can't. I wonder if he'd made the later appointment straight off whether it would've been different. |

Maybe they are put in on purpose so Alan Sugar can judge them better? So yes staged in the sense that if they make a mistake that has been set up they will be pulled up on it the boardroom.
I find it odd that at 9am the first thing hie does on a business day is buy some merchandise. Probably the first thing he did all day, i don't think many people jump straight in like that. You don't see deals like these being made at 9am. |
