Her appearance on this show just emphasised for me why Alan Sugar didn't make her the apprentice.
An apprentice is a person who works for another in order to learn . She did not fit this criteria as she believes she already knows it all. She is formidable & her self-belief is total. Ruth in many ways is the finished product & I'm sure she will be successful but her inability either through ego or lack of intellect to realise how much she doesn't know / needs to learn will restrict her ultimately.

How pathetic. MB |

Personally, I believe Ruth would have tried harder to learn from Alan Sugar and would have lasted the entirety of her contract, which would have made her a better choice than the worse-performing hard-luck story that Sugar actually went with.

Alan Sugar & Ruth would have clashed early on & I don't think she would have been working for him a few months down the line.

I feel on The Apprentice looks do come into it so Ruth sadly fails in that department. I also think she's a little too headstrong to listen to anyone including Sir Alan, I do feel she thinks she knows it all.
She may be a good businesswoman but I wouldn't deal with her. |

She may be a good businesswoman but I wouldn't deal with her. , but Ruth does NOT fail in the looks department. Yes she's big, but she's still an extremely attractive woman. You don't have to be a stick thin blonde to be attractive...

I used to work with her a few years ago. She was very ambitious then as well.

What the hell does Ruth Badger know, he was a salesman which I thought was her best skill so should she have been fired in the first few weeks. Have you seen her website? Can you imagine the type of company who would have her in for advice

She's too abrasive and domineering. Would be best working entirely on her own.
(And, no, it's nothing to do with her size nor being a lesbian...before anyone starts. Last edited by Sweet FA : 30-03-2007 at 14:57. |

Plus the contestants actually post over there too. Get the inside track on what you don't see on camera, people being ill, off camera decisions, etc. |

Google apprentice forum.
You'll find Tuan and Karen Bremner from series 2 over there, Tuan was invaluable in series 2 explained a lot of what was going on backstage/didn't make the edit. |

If you're serious about the show it's a good forum.
Hopefully another insider will give us some background info this series. |

Sound as if you've got a chip on your shoulder. Mind you, if you are a larger lady, maybe it's a bag of chips and maybe you don't put them all in your mouth

Hmm. I've just checked it out - and have already got into trouble for describing one of the apprentices as a 'poisonous little creep' which is, apparently, abusive!
I feel really embarrassed now and will stay over here, where - so far - I've managed to stay out of trouble. I guess this comes of starting out in the DS Big Brother forum where, frankly, 'poisonous little creep' would pass as an endearment on some threads. |

That's what I like about it to be honest, that BB type activity gets very wearing very quickly.
I don't have a problem as I don't want to lose sight that these are thinking feeling human beings, going on a reality show doesn't give people the right to pour bile and venom on them. |

I was glad Andy went, he was just another Paul from last year.

I guess I just thought what I said was fair comment given the alacrity with which the individual in question - let's call him Simon - handed the poisoned chalice of team leader over to an unwilling recipient, and the backstabbing comments he uttered as soon as that person left the room. |
