One of my favourites too.

and mine and with that, goodnight everyone

Dunno, but you're bound to find a top hat in "Top Hat dry cleaners"!

Harry M was possibly a worst leader than what Lewis was, horrendous in that role. Not surprised he was saved as it seems Sugar has some kind of a soft spot for him, was obvious from a mile away that Gbemi was gone as soon as they lost that task.

Why the hell is he always gurning like he's a coke head too? Annoys the hell out of me. I can see him surviving a few more weeks too, shame really.

So far the youngsters have been doing better than the adults - will they have more or less general knowledge to work out what is what?

Can't remember - is there an interview round he and James are being kept for?

You're absolutely right, its nice to see some people talking sense.

Felt slightly sorry for Gbemi.. the packaging was fine in my opinion. She should've told LAS "Yes well, you may not like it, but the target audience is teenage girls. Considering both myself and Lizzie designed it, I can honestly tell you that's something I'd buy and recognize in the shops."

That's a pretty poisonous thing to say. I take it you know enough black people to make a sweeping generalisation like that....

I'm sure they get a hell of a load more help than the adults.

Cutting off her nose to spite her face. There's no way I'd want to hug James just to prove a point.

He's not Berni.. *gets dragged out of the thread by lawyers*

This did make me giggle-I feel the same!!

Possibly. But being in a camp with Harry constantly being kept in, then she might be worried about her own winning chances.

If the teams stay the same next week, I actually hope that Harry M finally wins a task. Just because Lizzie might be the PM on that team and I would be gutted if she were fired (Lord Sugar seems to like the two guys), but I have bad memories of the scavenger hunt task (truffels, anyone?)

Besides, I would like to see the other team in the final boardroom.

He's thinking, who has the most business sense? Who will make the most of my money?

That rather depends upon whose 'ghetto' you mean. She doesn't sound like a Venice Jew to me (which is where the word came from).
I don't know the correct term for her accent, but I do know that I cannot understand half of what she says. She makes me think of Professor Higgins: "Oh, why can't the English teach their children how to speak?"

Maybe she was going to say something like that, but the agro from Harry put her off from saying much more.

I remember the days when PMs got the boot for the least thing, but now LS can't bear to lose them. LS has lost his way imo

Nope, but if he ever becomes rich, he'll still have women throwing themselves at him!

What the hell happened there?!

I don't know if I've ever more disagreed with Lord Sugar. I don't think Gbemi should've gone, but then I don't even think Harry M should have gone, even though he does now have the single worst Apprentice record of any contestant on any UK variant. It should've been between Hayley, Zara and Haya! How in the name of dogs' arses did he come to the conclusion that Raw was the better product? It looked like bloody spray paint. The ad was a significantly-older-than-the-target-market-looking bloke dancing. Just dancing!

Vanity had a vintage sort of look, a very clear advert - almost psychopathically clear, so don't give me that "didn't show the product enough" nonsense Sugar - emphasised the importance of projecting an image (which is all anyone ever buys a hygiene product for), properly laugh-out-loud funny, and very well pitched!

I haven't found any of his decisions so completely thoughtlessly bonkers since... ohhh, this episode last series, actually. But before that? Never. I genuinely think Lord Sugar takes advantage of the ambiguousness of the advertising task result in order to just go "sod the experts" and pick the most inanely literal advert he can find.

There wasn't last year. It isn't really relevant to them as they have so little on their CVs, and they can't really let Claude loose on kiddies

Since there are 7 candidates left with 2 normal weeks to go before the final, I wonder if or when we get a double firing (the final should be with 4 candidates again like last year).

The BBC site with the page where the candidates are listed is interesting, wonder if there is a clue there or it is just a coincedence (if not, then I can predict the final four).

Respect! That was an uncannily good prediction!

Harry M should have gone. Even if the design was bad, Harry M must have authorized it.

tinkie...sorry for spelling your name as tinkle, which I just realised, when I managed to see the dot on the i. Please forgive, as my sight isn't always great.
