Another thing I found pretty unrealistic was the plumbers basically giving away the copper cylinders. In real life I'd assume they would be straight down the scrap metal dealers.

"Number 73! Hello!"
I had to laugh at that, and the mention of it on You're Fired. Who on earth does that??

Thank you, it's great to know that people are enjoying it. I might make the letter to the Apprentice a weekly thing - you're never short of something to write about with this show.
Please 'Like' my facebook page - I'm trying to build up a bit of a rep on there and, of the thousands who've shared my stuff (esp. Geordie Shore) only six have given me a like! ![]() http://www.facebook.com/pages/Letter...04575982913634 PS - I also thought that Susan didn't get it, does that mean I didn't get it?

Just saw the episode on iplayer, Im so happy Susan stood up for herself because Zoe was being a right bitch, what a rubbish PM i think Susan did a better job in week 2.
Its quite shocking seeing a few guys take Zoe's side here but thats your opinions I guess. |

If you think that Zoe's a "right bitch" then you need to get out more...on the scale of 1 to 10 she's barely rates a 2.

I think Zoe is extremely rude. She act manage her emotions well at all, and she's a mess at the moment. She doesn't have a clue at all. |

Your kiddin me? she's been straight at Suzy from week 1, she'll never give Susan a chance to speak back which literally IS unfair to Susan.
Zoe owns up to her own failures and consequently that fact has kept her in the competition up to now...but not for much longer. She stands her ground, doesn't take fools gladly but she isn't made of finalist material. |

Well then I'd hate to meet the type of people in your social circle.

That's the way it's been edited. Sue is thick and I look forward to her being interviewed by SurAlan's attack dogs.

You know the bit where they had to negotiate with the people that Alan Sugar set up for them
Was the idea the customer paid them or they paid the customer to take it? I meen where Helen's group charged nothing and the other team charged £85 or something. I'm not to sure because Suzie seemed to think she had got it right after. |

The aim was to come up with the bid that is *just* better than your opponent but still leaves you room to make a profit.
The 'softball' tactic would be charge the client to take the goods, then sell them. This is the most lucrative but leaves you very vulnerable to being outbid by the opposing team. The 'hardball' tactic would be to charge nothing, and still sell the goods. This leaves you slightly less open to be outbid by the other team but not if they go for... The 'extreme hardball' tactic which is to pay the client a small amount for the items and then sell them on. This would have been the winning tactic in that task. Susan realised the desks etc had value and assumed they were supposed to pay but was accused by Zoe of getting it wrong and trying to sabotage the task. In the confusion, her idea was abandoned. Zoe only realised the mistake afterwards. Helen's team went for option B and ended up winning both bids. |

Actually if they had paid for them they would have lost because they only won by £6

I'm talking about the deal that they offered to do for free.
If they had paid more than £6 they would have lost because they got that deal anyway. |
