I'm probably the odd one out here but she didn't look sexy to me at all. Her face reminded me of a vampire (I guess Bulgaria isn't too far from Transsylvania).

Anyway, I do agree she was a great candidate, would have gone far.
Might have been a cultural issue that she didn't pick up the (blatantly obvious) signals from Sugar to shut the f*** up!

That's what I thought.

Businesswise it was surprising that Sugar let her go so early. Even if she aggravated him in the boardroom, he usually gives the gobby types another chance.

Don't know what was going through his mind when he kept Katie. She'll never be as dynamic as Bilyana, whereas Bilyana could have learnt to rein herself in a bit. It was worth giving her another shot.

In what way would that be?

- not listening to the teammates
- hogging sales
- interrupting the boss (or partner in this case)

If that constitutes a credible business woman then the UK (ironically, as she ain't really UK.....just like me) has a problem in the business world.

Bilyana is constantly being compared to Paloma and Melody, who both had the same character traits, yet they both got trashed by people

Yeah shame she got fired because aside from being eye candy (which obv isn't important ) she seemed to have potential about her.

I don't know if the other girls where jealous of her for her looks (I think it can be too easy to say that sometimes) but they def didn't like that she wasn't afraid to go ahead and get sales (which would have been for the team a well as her if succesfully got). All this take it in turn stuff didn' make sense to me because wouldn't it have just been better if they had spit up in the zoo and went for what sales they saw as doable (as Biliana was trying doing).Walking round in a group just seemed less productive to me.

I think the discomfort of the others girls was that she was confident in just doing the job and trying to get the sale (possibly in a ruthless way, but one which is a characteristic that I would have thought Sugar would have appreicated).

Just from this one show I don't think she was anything like Paloma (aside from both being gorgeous). Biliana didn't fib about anything, did she? The worst thing she did on the task was get confused about how far somewhere was which, in London, can be easily done sometimes (I've horribly misjudged the distance between plaaces in London plenty of times, lol).

Remember the argument in the street between Paloma, Laura and Sandeesh? Exact copy of the London Zoo situation.

Personally, I don't mind if people wish to forget that it happened but it is there.

No, it was Bilyana's teammates who weren't listening to her. If they had, they'd have arrived at the zoo much earlier and had more time to sell their merchandise.

As for hogging the sales, why should they have to take turns? Like the woman on You're Fired said, Bilyana did a good job with her opening sale, she was a natural. I'm glad she forged ahead and tried to sell more.

The interrupting was annoying. But I don't think it was enough to warrant being fired.

Regarding Melody, I thought she was a strong candidate too. Didn't deserve to win but deserved to get as far as she did. Paloma, though, was overrated. She made lots of mistakes. I got the feeling Bilyana was more business savvy than her. So I don't see the similarity there.

Absolutely. You can temper down a hot flame, but you can't make a tortoise sprint. Lord Sugar should have given her a yellow card, and put it down to 'first night nerves'.

Mind you, with her looks, drive, and intelligence, she'll probably do ok for herself

What happened in the street? I have forgotten it, not intentionally though. Was Paloma coming in on a sale that one or the other had claimed first? Tbh I found Laura an absolute sulk and all talk but vey little action so I didn't find much sympathy for her in many of the tasks throughout the process.

With Biliana at the Zoo I didn't see her at fault wanting to get sales. And, to me, it looked like she saw the potential sales and just instinctively went for them. The whole take it in turn with sales system seemed more like something for the other girls because they weren't looking like getting any themselves if it was just a free for all (which in a situation of deperately needing sales should have been). I think the other girls in that sub team were just lacking in sales ability (on that task) instead of it being Biliana coming in on 'supposed sales of others'. I mean, "you snooze you lose" right? And those other three jst seemed abit slow on the up-take. And whoever made that comment when leaving the shop was silly (and if it was Biliana then not good on her part).

Offcourse, think this is the last I will say about the subject (cause I saw another episode then other people, something with the London marathon and the likes).

She seemed pretty perfect in the looks dept, but I must say, her legs weren't all that.

I agree with this the girls arguing that she was stealing the sales at the zoo was pretty pathetic...Oooh lets take it in turns for each sale was just ridiculous. They were supposed to be a team and if they all looked for sales individually then they may have won....In all honesty i think the firing of her was stupid and SAS played it wrong last night ,also I notice he dos'nt seem to mind it when a male fights his corner and answers back in the board room

Almost certainly the task rules would not have allowed them to split up. There aren't enough cameramen for that. Generally they have to stay in at most two sub-teams.


For me the worse thing she did was fail to listen to anyone about anything. She didn't listen to the others asking her to take it in turns, she didn't listen when they told her she was going the wrong way, she didn't listen when Lord Sugar told her to stop speaking. She admitted on You're Fired, she had tunnel vision. It's perhaps a shame she went so early, but she was never likely to win.

(I'm actually pleased Katie got another chance.)

She reminds me of Malificent.

Given Lord Sugars recent track record of female winners, Im not suprised hes getting rid of the Alpha ones early on .......... Stella was quite feisty too if I remember, and we all know how that turned out.

I think she scared Lord S to death

Would they have actually needed to split up? There seemed to be enough people where they were at the time for them to have been approaching people seperately.

I think this is a very good point...

I think he's had enough TBH.

When I say split up I don't mean in the sense that they cover the four corners of the zoo. I just meant could they not give each otherr breathing space when getting sales and not walking in a silly line or huddle as were sometimes. The show surely don't just have one camera per main and sub team because how on earth can you keep four (or whatever number of people) all in one frame at exactly the same time... It's not possible when people are on the streets or moving around talking to the public members that won't care about positioning themself where the camera wants them. The BBC surely uses multi-camera-angles for such a big show as the Apprentice.

On that episode Katie isn't likely to win either, she was hopeless!!! and it was laughable when she said she thought she was good in the task. She was easily a gonner if Biliana had stopped talking, and, she prob should be buying Biliana a drinks cabinet, let alone a drink (such is how lucky it is that she stayed).

Crazy that she was fired.

I'm gay, but she's gorgeous! Especially on YF.

I work for the company that she works for. She isn't a Risk Analyst, and she doesn't work in Risk Management like she said she does.

How interesting. So what does she actually do?

Interesting, so what exactly does she do?

I actually wondered if she wanted to appear on the programme to get a break into television. The woman is stunningly beautiful and it wouldn't be the first time that a "serious business person" used TA to get into the media.

Slightyly off-topic: Did she remind any of the older viewers of the woman who played Joyce Davenport in Hillstreet Blues, (girlfriend of Frank Furillo/Pizzaman)?

Quite, well now that she's been on The Apprentice for a week she can be considered for Celebrity Big Brother, a strategic career move. She would be good on Countdown too, IMO.
