Other people have commented on various puzzling aspects of the time lines in the Apprentice broadcasts; my question is: when exactly, and for how long, did the boys go to Paris? They were offered a 'weekend'; for some reason we were given the impression that they left immediately after the first boardroom session, but they were in the house when the gils got back from the elimination, which supposedly took place the next day.

I'm probably too naive and they went to Paris at a totally unrelated time.

I thought the same thing, it is puzzling. I think maybe they left after laura was fired?

The time lines in this series are pure fiction.

There's really no point in trying to work out the minutia of how they could have done seemingly impossible juxtapositions.

Then again maybe they never went to paris and was filmed in one of the screenig places like in the dvd task.

Maybe they went after the filming of the whole series was done.

A bit pointless dont you think?

I suspect that weekend was more of a day trip.

It obviously happened the day after the firings, but was shown before the firings as it always is.

Not really, I'd still accept a free trip to Paris.

In the boardroom Lord Sugar did mention the girls had actually had more than the overnight to think about what went wrong. Suggesting the firing didn't happen the day after the task was completed, does that fit in at all?

Noticed this as well - bad editing!
