But each interaction needs to be recorded in case something significant happens. The camera team can only focus on thing at a time.

In previous "selling to the public" tasks, the candidates have been able to sell to people seperately, rather than taking it in turns. I suspect that they have more than one camera with each sub-team. At any rate, I can't see why such a limitation would figure now when it hasn't before.

Sorry, but I think it was down to poor thinking from the sub-team, and not to anything imposed on them for filming reasons.

It often has figured. For example, there have been occasions when a sub-team has had to be brought back to base because it wasn't possible for just one member to split off, return home and be replaced by another.

The rules can vary from task to task, and sometimes they can sell on their own, but usually it's as I describe.


Since the rules are rarely explained, whether you see it as stupidity from the candidates is your choice. I see it as another of the ways the show sets candidates up to look stupid. Especially as on this occasion they'd have to be very, very stupid not to split up if they could.

She does work in finance, as she works for a bank. She is a Private Bankers Assistant.

I've since found out that she did breifly work in the Risk department (a six month graduate placement). At the moment though, she is just a PBA.

I'm not sure we're talking about the same thing here. I'm not talking about the contestants splitting up to distant quarters, simply about them being in the same place, but approaching members of the public individually, rather than having to take it in turns. In the past, when selling on the streets, we have seen contestants in the same area approach people individually, so my question is, why was it possible then but not now?

She was definitely the best looking. I'm sure Sugar was about to fire Katie until she opened her gob though. She had been doing OK, coming across as pretty calm and rational compared to the other two, and then just went too far.

How the girls managed to lose, given their product was actually really good, and the boys was complete crap, I don't know. When they were selling stuff in the zoo, I don't know why they couldn't just split up.

You get the zoo gig you lose, it's Apprentice tradition

The things I would do to her are unspeakable

There was only one camera crew with them, and it was only able to film one encounter at a time. Hence they had to take it in turns to make the approach.


There are exceptions, but as a rule it's as I've described. Often on the first task they end up going door to door at the end to offload remaining stock, and I don't recall them ever spitting up then.

Lovely looking woman, but came across as a mobile headache generator.

I don't think it is. I don't recall it being so before.

It's pretty ridiculous. There were four of them, right? So they just had to stand back-to-back in a diamond shape (at the points) and the cameras could have caught anything important that went on, and they would have had a solid pitching spot.


I'm pretty sure they have in the past when doing door-to-door stuff. Not by much - just one or two of them going ahead a little bit, to the next house or whatever, but stuff that the camera crew either missed, or was edited out.

Sorry, back on topic! Yes a very striking girl, but probably *too* striking for me. Understated beauty (inside and out) works best for my tastes

bilyana was, by far, the most promising candidate of the whole lot.
she was very ballsy, feisty and strong and stuck to what she believed in. she's the kind of person you'd find in busines. as karren said, bilyana wasn't there to make friends and be nice, she was there to prove how good at business she was.
admittedly, bilyana should have shut up for just a bit, as it looked like katie() was going to be the one who got fired, but no.

katie has survived purely on luck of being in the winning team for the last few weeks, and i still can't believe she's there to be honest. contributes literally nothing, apart from a few bitchy comments to make her look worthy of her place..

Yes, with Jenna in support

I got the impression from her BBC page that she is studying for the CISI Weath Management Masters (which would explain the PBA). I think her enterprise would be some wealth management company for seriously wealthy people, which would not interest Sugar.

I think Bilyana slightly looks like Miss Bolivia Universe 2006. Especially when she smiles. Check it out here:

In a way, I'm glad she was fired. At least she won't make a tit of herself week after week like some of the others will.

She could easily be a super model. She is stunning.

I have no doubt that Bilyana will be do very good in life. She obviously came across very intelligent and educated and she is rather terribly good looking. Do we think Bilyana will become a Billionaire?

No, she looks like she might be a middle ranking escort girl.

And she has a horrible personality.

:yawn::sleep:

LOL. You made me laugh. How did she have a horrible personality? When the other females were ganging up on her, she just looked at them and didn't say a word. To me, that is elegant, not stooping to their level and all that. Guess we have different views.

I'm not too sure about that but it was worth a click. Here the link at the specified time to Desiree Duran
