The Diamond Dealers
Bit unfair that the irish lass got the dealer who was giving the diamond away for free basically, would have liked to see her try her charm on the guy Daniel had to deal with,

It was crazy, was there any specification given for the diamond ? How do we know the true value of the diamond,. I'm no expert, but I do know you can pick up similar size diamonds that vary enormously in price. It's not like buying gold, that has a specific price according to weight and carat value.

A lot of this process is down to luck. Mark got a guy that wanted to buy 7 hottubs off him last week, if that isn't a stroke of luck then I don't know what is.

True, Daniel knew straight away what a kosher chicken was and had the cultural currency to get a discount and quickly. Sanjay looked like he was struggling to work out what it was, and it should be the easiest item to source in London. But you could say Roisin more than made up for that by seducing the diamond dealer.

It's funny to think that bloke will have told everyone that he's on the Apprentice tonight, with all his friends and family watching, and he comes across as a right desperate perv who got played like a fiddle.

Had she done it to the other dealer he would have thrown her out, I mean the guy seemed to be insulted by Daniel wanting to pay £150 while the perv dealer started at £130 . It makes no sense how two dealers in the same building charged two different starting costs. Had Daniel gotten the Perv dealer his sob story about trying to get the diamond for his future wife would have had just as much effect as Rosion had.
Ironically, it seems that Roisin's phoning upfront did help (Daniel and Felipe obviously went in totally blind). |

The diamond also seems difficult to specify too - it seems to depend on a host of factors http://www.danielprince.co.uk/The_Tr...t_Diamonds.htm so what looks like a good deal on some criteria may not be worth what you buy it for. |

I like the way Karren gave Roisin a pass for using her sex appeal to seduce the dealer into letting the diamond go cheap. Surely not a trait deemed necessary for a serious businesswoman
What a hypocrite |

Nothing as unsubtle as that, but it's clearly what she was doing, he could barely talk

It's not double standards. It's because The Apprentice always has a bit in the first few episodes when it's an all girls team showing some of them trying to get a advantage using their womanly wiles and this is reprimanded or edited negatively. Roisin got a rosy edit for essentially doing the same thing later in the series.

I assumed not because the prices were so different. |

How do we know they were in the same building? Did I miss something?

I don't know what Daniel was doing with his wedding story. How did he explain the BBC cameras and Karren? |

The voice over said something like 'meanwhile the other team are in a room down the corridor'. I don't know, but I suspect that the dealers are independent, and pay rent for the premises.
