The editors are doing their usual job of picking up on odd facial expressions and comments. We don't see the entire thing. Last night it was Edna's turn for treatment, tonight it will be someone elses. A lot of the girls seemed a bit overshadowed by Melody and were caught pulling faces, no doubt there will be some bitching and in fighting over the weeks.
I'm beginning to wonder why I watch it .

The more you talk the more you show your ignorance. What makes you think she comes from another country?
Well, someone is itching to accuse people of racism aren't they?

Don't protest it too much, wouldn't want people to get the wrong idea

Edna came across as a gurning ****, tbh.

I don't like her eyebrows, they're too far away from her eyes!

I thought she had a 'don't want to get my hands dirty' attitude but need to see another task to really know. Not impressed with her handling of the money situation and it looks like her clash with the Chinese girl becomes an ongoing thing.

The same trio of girls again, could be an advantage or disadvantage for the other girls (depending if he wants to ditch the loud ones or the silent ones).

I thought Edna was ok. Not great but ok but that frosted lipstick has to go.

Melody was very annoying. She kept pulling this smug, supercilious face everytime someone spoke and with that voice and her manner, she could come a cropper pretty soon.

before u all start i dont care or give a fig if shes blue black or purple

i just didnt like her attitude

she was rolling her eyes at everything that was said-made a dig about not wanting to deal with the money but done it anyway

was patronising and cutting people down
-when susan(?) said we should spend the rest of the money told her it was irrelevant then when alan said why didnt u sopend it all if i wanted u to spend 170 i would have given u that she was nodding like a little lapdog

i feel shes another katie who will stab them all in the back and thinks alot of herself when she actually didnt do anything

The perfect wannabe Apprentice.

They are all unlikeable for one reason or another including massive over-inflated egos, inability to speak the English language normally or do simple sums.

I think she's someone who won't suffer fools gladly.
I just love how Edna said the exact same thing about herself in tonight's episode!

Her pitch yesterday reminded me of when an amateur drama group comes to your school to give you a moral message via the means of a play. Very condescending.

juist remembered something else, when she left the stage with a big smile on her face only to be told in not so may words that she did crap...the big grin remained!! Her face!

I think her uber confidence isn't backed by any performance I've seen of her so far. And she comes across as condescending. Can't see her lasting long.

I don't know about anyone else but I thought Edna's speech with the gloves was hilarious.

I don't expect she'll win but I hope they keep her around for a while. She's good telly.

She'd make a good kids TV presenter in the old Playschool kind of way.

I'm starting to really like her. I think she's funny "I've looked at all your strengths and weaknesses, so I've decided that I'm going to do the pitch"

When I saw the long black gloves I thought she was going to do a burlesque number

Will be very interesting when she comes on the aftershow with Dara to hear her explanation

Edna is bloody awful - looks like she permanently has a bad smell under her nose and has a really bad attitude!

I am a black female and agree with the opinion of most people on this thread.

Although I do agree it is crazy some posters had this opinion after a few clips of just one show.

However having watched her as Project Manager last night I think Edna is very patronising and condescending in the way she speaks to people. I don't believe she is doing it on purpose but as she is a Business Psychologist and 'people manager' I am surprised and perplexed at her leadership style.

I don't agree with comments about her 'eyebrows' or judging the candidates looks as it is a business competition they are not trying to sell their looks they are selling their business skills but do agree that she needs to discontinue use of that silver(?) lipstick asap!

It's interesting watching You're fired after, because you get to see the real personality
I don't think YBF is insightful about the personalities anymore like it used to be; now it's all about Dara and his gags.
No way can I make such a strong judgement as the OP so early. I think the one to watch for disrupting group dynamics may be Susan...
I think this could turn out to be a very perceptive comment (far more than the predictable Edna = chip on her shoulder :yawn: stuff) but like you say it's early days yet, and we shall see.
