Looking through my EPG I notice that The Apprentice US is going to be shown on BBC3, but it doesn't say which series - I'm assuming it's a repeat of series 3 but at a decent time

Does anyone have a link to where the Staples episode can be downloaded? I did actually record it on Sky+, but in looking to see what time it was on, I deleted that one instead of the previous Pontiac episode which I had just watched.


Please PM if you would prefer rather than use the group. Many thanks indeed.

Looking at the BBC Two listings

Wednesday: 11:20 - 12:45 (double bill )
Thursday: 11:20 - 12:40 (dobule bill )

Thanks BBC why have double bills, would rather have 1 a week for 4 weeks that a double bill.

This show is great. Missed the first few episodes though due to the ridiculously late hours.

Can't believe how ruthless they get in the board room and I have to say for someone with 6 billion dollars Trump has the worst comb over ever.

And the bit where all the contestants stand in their groups, nicey posed at an angle when he is telling them about the task

I loved the one he did on the streets of NYC complete with 'Hey Donald!' civilian cheerleaders

BBC Three are repeating the series again at (7pm!) from next Tuesday 24th. There seems to be a Tues/Weds pattern for the repeats, so stock up on chewing tobacco and enjoy.........

Kendra has a flash of marketing genius and wins again with the tea shirts - her win record must be looking good by now. Tana got a bad performance at the wrong time.

The interviews tell you all about interviews - the interviewers most like Tana prefer Tana and the ones most like Kendra chose Kendra and all they agreed on was that Craig was vacuuous. And which girl do you think is most like Trump......?

Haha, how brilliant was Kendra AGAIN in these episodes. Her rivalry with Craig has been brilliant, especially as she has shown him up at every oppertunity. Craig's dad's a pilot? Bah, Kendra's is a Topgun instructer! To top it all off her idea wins again, and then she kicks his ass in the air, before seeing him off at the interviews. I don't know how Craig can have so many problems with a woman who has pretty much dragged him that far. In Tana wins this, its a joke.

I'm confused. WHY did Kendra stick the playstations in the basement? She said earlier that the chosen console for the championship was the playstation. So surely they should have been put up in the main ballroom? Unless she got confused and thought that as EA were the main sponsor that they infact did consoles?

If Sony pull out, then Tana's hired (although we all know that NY failed on the Olympic bid - did it have anything to do with Tana! ).

No one has won yet, the final task concludes tonight, and then there is another program after that, I assume for the winner to 'prove' themselves?

I really didn't like Tana at first but over the last couple of weeks she has grown on me. Kendra on the other hand I really can't stand. Her attitude is awful!

I was thinking the same.

For me it's the other way around. She'd been a strong candidate for most of the series. However, it now seems that was because she was usually paired with Kendra. In the DTP task Kendra showed she could manage on her own. Tana quit because she had immunity and wouldn't be fired regardless. She effectively sabotaged her own team by that. And then she has the cheek to try to take credit for Kendra's all-nighter in the presentation the next day.

In the tee-shirt episode Kendra made a slew of huge mistakes. She got the pricing wrong, she didn't manage Alex, she didn't pay any attention to marketing, she wasted time looking for silly rhinestones. And then to avoid getting sacked she claimed Alex was responsible for marketing so it was all his fault. She hadn't in fact given him that responsibilty. It was dirty pool, if you ask me.

Kendra on the other hand I really can't stand. Her attitude is awful!
I don't see what she's done wrong. She can be a bit cocky, but no more so than Tana. She's won, what, 10 tasks in a row? Her problem is Craig, who just doesn't "get" her and thinks that's her fault. It's his. He's become unsufferable.

An example is when she gave her ideas on pricing the tee-shirts and ended it with "or something". That was to give him space to give his ideas. He attacked her as if she was being vague. He's the one with the awful attitude, with his "young lady"s and "You don't deserve respect".

Carolyn's throwing multiple icy glares at Tana ! Not a good sign for her prospects.

Did anyone see Combover on FiveUS the other night? not very good I only watched it for some analysis of Trumps top-fluff. An expert categorically said it wasn't a wig, but couldn't really describe it either. I reckon he sticks his head in a candy floss machine each morning. At least George has gone thin up top with some dignity.

Does anyone know if the beeb will get series 4, and if they'll show it sometime before America is on series 14 ?

I guess that there will be a UK series before another US one.

US is on series 6 I think (Series 6 does not feature George or Carolyn...the latter being sacked)

I don't like the Jerry Springer format of the final show

agreed the format of this final show is pants. In the first series they dragged it out even more, with the singers of money money money crooning live.

Fancy Kendra choosing not to manage Miss World watching the trump canoodling with those bikini clad babes felt a bit creepy.

This is OTT there is no need for the programme to be so drawn out.
