Dont forget this week the american apprentice is on wednesday and thursday.
I just went to the spec of the year awards in London, and the badger was there looking very skinny I must say and loads of BB stars, preston & chantalle, also the one who won last years bb + spencer, nasty nick, ricky from eastenders loads of emmerdale, the pretty blond from love island, oh what a laugh. All very well behaved I must say, mores the pity

Another week and he dumps another girl for not being able to lead - this time when he has two male apprentices about to fight and she is miles away. its all a bit silly - if you had people you couldn't control working for you you would get rid of them - its not a management issue if you don't hire or fire them. why krep Chris if he has potential but is also a volcano waiting to happen - who wants an active volcano downstairs?
Meanwhile the two girls on the other team do it again by spotting a bigger market to sell to and getting bulk orders . They are impressive and imaginative. |

although little chew-boy should have got fired, i don't mind that Mr Trump fired what-s-her-name, as she was never gonna get anywhere near to winning the show. Her, chew-boy and Angie doesn't appear to have as much skill as the others. I feel sorry for Andy (is that his name, sorry I'm really bad at remembering names, even though I watch the programme religiously) who was told to go and join the losing team.

It's Alex, rather than Andy but chew-boy is a much better name than Chris. I actually think the right decision was made there as the fight thing was overblown, mainly by the woman who was fired (Stephanie, I think it was).
Personally, I like Bren (the groovy Southern attorney) and Tana the most. Alex is solid and those three are the best I reckon. In the last series I looked up the winner but I've avoided that so far. Because they're showing it twice a week I don't feel the need to look ahead. It's so much more fun than what I've seen of the UK version. Donald Trump, whose utterly obsessed with leadership, is a little more fun than Alan Sugar, whose obsessed with himself. |

![]() I agree with you about Alex and Tana. I like Tana a lot. She manages to be quite upfront and a large personality without being aggressive or irritating. I like that. Solid is a good word for Alex. He wouldn't mess up. Chew boy needs to go ASAP. |

He dun it again. He fires the girl for choking the presentation even after Carolyn uncharacteristically jumps in to point out that she had all the jobs, the whole thing was run badly and ended up running late and Chris did nothing but ensure she had more to do by doing nothing. He even had the equivalent for the accountant of her presentation foul up - he lost the credit card.
Anyone who has lectured anything will tell you that you that a presentation that you have put together in the margins of doing something else when other people had the idea with no rehearsal and last minute changes is going to be a failure. its not a question of choling - you can only choke from a winning position - not a certain disaster. I loved the last line too - I don't hire chokers - what a bozo - of course he does - anyone can choke anything under the right circumstances - thats why no tennis player ever wins every match they play in a year. |

Saw the winners Breakfast at Donald Trump's penthouse appartment.
The bloke lives in bizzaro-world. The only thing more brash and garish than his gold plated emporium of self indulgence is his stupid F***in wig. |

I can't argue with the firing last night.
Team Leader took on almost everything, poor delegating skills, did not directly assign the one guy anything to do. She Did the presentation reading off pieces of paper, mis-spoke the company she was presenting for, and locked up repeatedly losing her place on her pieces of paper. Poor leader, poor presentation. |

Yes Chris does have an unfortunately agressive style of communication, but he was bang on last night telling Alex what to do and get the Pizza's moving, and get out of his face with petty whining. |

[list][*]I don't see why the contestants take the program so seriously. The chances are they're going to get fired for some rediculous undeserving reason.[*]Donald's sidekick woman values her own opinions too highly.[*]The theme tune is starting to annoy me. The contestants fake smiles are stupid.[*]Also how bad were those dove commercials they made. They were the crappest commercials I've ever seen ever![*]Audrey never stopped bitching[/list]

Chris will go eventually, (obiviously) but he makes good TV. Bren is great<has he modelled himself on one of those attorneys in films, the Tommy Lee Jones character in thtClient springs to mind, the oversised suit and bowtie etc. Trumps offices seem a bit garish and ott, reds and golds etc. Not as sleek as SAS office. Who am I to judge, hes mega rich and Im not.

Chris left his credit card behind so didn't contribute on the second day either. Either he does that habitually, in which case he lacks attention to detail, or else he did it because he was flustered by the contest. I suspect the latter - no-one forgets their credit card normally - in which case he caved under pressure just as much as Angie did. Angie didn't choke. She got through the presentation, got everything said, demoed the designs they had. She didn't break down and cry, or run off the stage or anything. It was another duff decision by Trump. |

Fascinating two shows. Especially the first. The boys are arrogant and come up with a dud. Craig is absoluely useless and can't understand any concept or work with young women. Tana is clearly a doer but she's shown grabbing the limelight and she and Craig go off to their beds leaving Kendra to do everyting on her own overnight and the result is so good that pontiac take on the advert as written. You couldn't lay out the candidates much better and only one is showing any grasp of marketing and coming up with concepts that work. If Trump was watching who went to bed when or who had the winning conceptual idea both tasks his choice may have got a lot easier.

what are the BBC doing with the scheduling for this show? You get into a routine and then they change things to show 2 eps back to back, without any reason etc. What will they do next week?
I enjoyed these 2 episodes. I loved the desk with the glass top that the guys thought was fantastic but was bloody useless. Who in their right mind would use one of them, it would drive you nuts. Kind of like how BBC2 drives me nuts. I still think this should be on at 6pm on 2 like the first series. I haven't watched TV at 6pm since Great British Menu (also on BBC2) |

I had to smile at the glass toped desk. A classic 'good idea' from someone designing for a market they have no experience in
If you've never actually worked in an office it must seem perfectly reasonable to put the afternoons work in the bottom & stack the mornings on top, after all you don't need to get at the afternoon pile until you have finished the mornings', right? A pity Bren just gave up, though he really had had enough - but I liked the fact he wasnt another corporate robot like Alex or the bloke that won series 2. |

The glass top desk was an odd one, looked cheep as well I thought.
The spnning desk tidy is not exactly orignal, would have been nice if it locked though. |
