There is no way on Gods Sweet earth that Sugar would ever go into business with a billy bs like this

Strike Melody off the win list.


"InspirEngage International is a social enterprise with the aim of improving the lives of children and young people worldwide."

What is a social enterprise exactly?: The government defines social enterprises as "businesses with primarily social objectives whose surpluses are principally reinvested for that purpose in the business or in the community, rather than being driven by the need to maximise profit for shareholders and owners." - so again what is she doing on the Apprentice?


here is what she does:

1)Skills Development Training (incl. Leadership, Communication & Business Development). InspirEngage applies its unique method of ‘in-room-application’ meaning all learning is applied within the room as opposed to leaving and not knowing how to apply it. so does anyone understand what that is or how a 23 year old woman with no experience in business and about 1 year in her own business could provide this?

2) Public Speaking (to mobilise, to inspire, to inform)About what and based on what experience, it does not say

3) Consultation (providing a wide range of services ranging from writing youth engagement strategies to cultural relations, to independent business development)based on what experience, what skills and from what knowledge base?

BS just plain old, made up in her bedroom BS

Have to say I agree, bullshine.

She will be torn apart in interview

cant wait

She's also apparently been working in the Youth Sector since she was 13. Am I wrong to be a little bit cynical about that?

But you're forgetting that she has been personally tutored by Al Gore, Professor Yaffle, The Mekon and Gandalf the Grey.
With such tutorage, who needs actual experiance?

Didn't she mention the Dalai Lama as well at one point?

her "at the UN" speech about the French language had me falling off the sofa with laughter .... she seriously needs taken down a peg or 10

Oh yes! And Bishop Tutu, Mahatma Gandhi, The Hunny Monster, Ming The Merciless and The Wizard of Oz.

as someone whose core buisness appears to be based on her abilty to inspire and lead it is such as shame that last night she came off as inherently unlikeable with all the listening and comprehension and sharing skills of a 2 year old!

Oh dear please say she isn't sucessful in inspirirng and leading the yuff of today, that prospect makes me very afraid!

Apparently her business makes profit so she must be doing something right. Sugar asked her if her company makes money and she said yes. It does sound a bit arty farty but if it brings in the cash, I doubt Sugar cares. If she can make money he'll consider working with her.

I hope she gets to the interview stage.

Not pleasant but I would love to see her being disected and all her ridiculous claims exposed. She was probably in the same room as some of those people,not personally involved with them.

By the same token, I have sung with Bon Jovi. He was on the stage and I was not

Claude Litner:

"I have contacted The Dalai Lama, Al Gore and Bishop Tutu - and they have never heard of you. However Paul Daniels does recall you made the tea for him and Debbie once..."

if your evidence is: "she said yes."

then may i respectfully suggest that law is not for you

Presumed innocent until proven guilty. Will you have the nads to come on here and admit you were wrong if she passes the interviews with flying colours?

Yes but she will not

Its not particularly sherlock holmesian of me to see that

Well, as LS said when talking about her business/experience claims "We'll see.." indicating that his people will get to the bottom of it all. But in the meantime, he seems pretty impressed with what he's seen of Melody - and with all due respect, I'd go with his judgement over yours any day of the week.

He asked if she was not for profit and she said it was a for-profit business. But social enterprises are decidedly not-for-profit so she is pulling the wool somewhere.

I genuinely don't understand why businesses would consult with someone with no prior business experience.

When a business goes to say Management Consultants, normally young staff may do the leg work but it is all reveiwed by experienced staff who know what they are on about (well that's the idea anyway).

But how would someone so young who has set up a start up know how to write strategies or do staff training? And what does she train them on - that description looked like woolly public sector BS to me. I should know - I have spent a lot of time amongst such BS!

Then you have misunderstood what you saw last night. he admired one small aspect of her personality which was evident when shown against Leon and Tom (not hard).

he ridiculed her in the boardroom on numerous occasions and this was compounded by melody failing to see what he was doing (her awards was one bit).

It was like watching an episode of The Office.

In the interviews she will be pulled apart.

As stated in post one, it is bs and fake


Anyone who is above 30 and in a responsible position will see it a mile off.

I think you're being naive and unquestioning; I agree with the OP's take on this. Anyway go and look at what Lord Sugar was sarcastically saying about her on his Twitter last night. He did about three or four Tweets in which he mocked her and his attitude there is obviously far more up to date than what we're viewing in the series.

How can you think she'll pass the interview with flying colours? Have you watched this show before? The Apprentice interviewers are notoriously good at uncovering BS on candidates' CVs.

I don't think I misunderstood what I saw. He admired a lot more than one small aspect; he was all over her like a bad rash. The look he gave her as they walked out spoke volumes - he was impressed and clearly said as much in his closing words.

Yes, he questioned some of her CV claims (since when did we call them resumes in this country?) and she answered his questions and he was happy to say, "Well, we'll see...". And we will.

She may be pulled apart in the interviews and I've not said she won't - just that let's wait and see and we can judge her on what we see then, not pre-judge her.

bet the Dalai Lama didn't teach her to lie, manipulate, and be selfish.

I prefer to watch the show in the timeframe it's presented and not look for spoilers on Twitter or elsewhere. That would spoil the show for me. What i would say is that the show is constantly edited to make you think one particular outcome is inevitable only for a shock twist to happen and it actually goes the other way. It's produced for entertainment after all. So maybe you should take LS' tweets (or is the past participle 'tw*ts'?) with a pinch of salt. Why would he want to spoil the outcome of the show?

I'm not saying she will get through with flying colours at all - she may well be full of shit - but let's wait and see and not pre-judge eh?

Really? You're going on the judgement of the guy who thought the em@iler was a good product and that the ipod would die a death?

Yes, really. Lord Sugar's business judgement against the judgement of someone called Zoltan Smith on Digital Spy?
A no-brainer.

Of course LS's made mistakes, but like him or loathe him, he seems to know what he's doing in business.

As for the quote, well let's wait and see. Why the rush to pre-judge? That's all I meant by 'innocent until proven guilty'.
