No indeed. To be fair, the old men were only feeling their bums in very public places.

i wonder what natalie's husband thought of the whole debacle...

It's a bit sad that they would lower themselves to it, there were many other things they could have done! I was pleased they lost last night as they deserved to for choosing to reinforce the role of women as sex objects once again

It's sad that that's how young women think and see themselves, but not surprising when you look at the wider culture which is saturated with women as sex objects.

That's what I was wondering. The whole time it was being shown I kept thinking
"She's married, I'm sure she's married. It said she's married!"

Are you kidding? Jadine is one of the best looking girls - much more attractive than wishy washy Naomi IMO ...

For thousands of years virtually the only way women could make money was the 'oldest profession' ie selling their bodies so it's not surprising that many feminists like myself are appalled to see so many 'post feminist' women think it's ok to trade in on their sexuality to get ahead.

i cant believe gerri turned down an actual job supposedly working for MI5 to do this

Actually I'm beginning to think the whole show is scripted, and it's a reused script.

The selling kisses and AMS's reaction where lifted directly from the Apprentice USA season 6.

There was a similar sort of issue on an earlier series of the American Apprentice where the women went out in the street wearing short skirts and showing their underwear or something like that - I can't remember exactly. Trump - and Carolyn especially - were scathing and furious.

Terribly cruel but true

All those of you saying you think Jadine is attractive, please tell me you're joking or please visit an optician asap. I don't really want to say what she looks like to me. Something rather cute but certainly not pretty.

As for being more attractive than Naomi, I won't even treat that comment as serious.

Nothing wrong with my eyesight, i just happen to have a different opinion to you thats all.

She is attractive...until she speaks (or shouts more like)

It wasn't a particularly proud moment to be a girly. What's so, so disappointing is that they're obviously not a complete bunch of idiots, but the best idea they could come up with was, essentially, selling themselves to blokes. It's like they didn't even try to have a good think before they realised that hey, they have boobies, and hey, blokes like boobies.

That's what I thought!

When the suggested the kiss-o-gram I imagined lots of tongue and slobbering, but it was a peck on the cheek.

Come on...

I think Jadine is attractive - and I dont wear glasses or need them, if you dont realize that people dont all fancy the same types it shows your lack of worldly experience.

At least shes got a bit of fire to her.

it was a massive problem for me - to say 'I want to make money any way I can' (can't remember who that was)

well why not go the whole hog and offer full sex if you'd really do anything

it's just prostitution, whatever way you slice it and I wasn't impressed

I agree. If one of then had said in the morning "Let's go to the family planning clinic, get loads of condoms free; print off some cards for phone boxes; rent a couple of cheap rooms (or use those fancy people carriers), and sell our services" then you can imagine the reaction. Even though it has been a moneyspinner for centuries.

"prostitution, whatever way you slice it".

It's not the the kiss-o-gram idea that raised my eye brow, it's the fact that these were deemed to be the best business brains out of thousands that applied for the show.


How bad were the ones that got away?

Is kissing someone (on the cheek mostly) an "act or practice of engaging in sexual activity for money or its equivalent" as is a defnition of prostitution?

Are people that deliver kiss-o-grams prostitutes?

But I agree Dante Ameche, is that really all they could come up with?

I meant how bad were the business brains that got sent away that didn't make the show.


I wonder if they sit at home watching and think themselves very fortunate that they didn't get on the show?

Or maybe it really is the best business one can come up with?

Nope, not joking.

I can see Jadine's not pretty in the way that Ghazal is pretty, but there's just something about her that really attracts me.

Each to their own.

Exactly, these were all supposed to be highly intelligent businesswomen with accomplishments, and degrees and the like, and yet the only idea they could come up with was essentially selling themselves...

I've always heard that most prostitutes won't let their clients kiss them whether because of hygiene reasons or because it's too intimate. The way I look at the kissing thing it was a cross between selling themselves as sex objects and begging - please give me money because I'm a pretty girl and I really need it to win the task. Hardly what you would expect from a so-called business woman!
