They took £50 more, which is only 6%. It's not a lot, given that the girls didn't, in fact, do lunch. Presumably the girls took more money in the evening.


Well, no. They over-spent on marketing, too. In fact if they'd got all the food for free they'd still have lost, so it hardly mattered where they bought it from.

(In the boardroom someone says the boys marketing spend was £272, which is roughly half of their £543 total spend, and they lost by over £300. So with free food they'd have lost by £30.)


I wouldn't say he jumped in. He and Simon both offered to be cooks, which wouldn't have been a big deal as it was just cooking. Simon said Kevin should be head chef - I suspect he was trying to be nice and just make Kevin the more senior of those two, rather than trying to stitch Kevin up. Kevin agreed, and then Ian laid the heavy trip on him about being responsible for the menu, hence ingredients list, hence pricing, which was clearly not what he thought he'd agreed to do. He probably should have backed down, but by then it was too late. After that I thought Kevin did the best he could in a role he wasn't really suited for.

Ian should have been more careful about how he assigned the role, given it's importance. (Sara recognised the importance and took it on herself, which was risky but arguably paid off.)

we can't analyse the show that deeply becuase we don't see everything... half of it is cut and a lot is cut on purpose for entertainment
so lets just presume sir alan knew what he was doing and there were reasons why the boys and girls teams did as they did, even though we can see the obvious things to have done

The Apprentice Week One

The Apprentice Star Sara for her outstanding leadership as project manager and not taking any crap from whinging Serth African Claire

The Apprentice Muppet Kevin''Daffyd' Shaw for roverspending on food and making a complete cock up with the pub mealEspecially about sending half a pizza.Can yopu see Pizza Hut doing that to their customers?

The Apprentice Villain Ian 'Stringed Up Loser' Sringer for telling porkies to Sir Alan and passing the buck on to Simon and Daffyd

Worst Decision Making Daffyd the Head Chef instead of Simon Smith,Graduated from the Tim Gray of Ramsay's Kitchen Nightmares School Of Culinary Arts

Sir Alan's One Liners None but only from me and the biggest Loser got fired by leaving his wife and kids to risk going on to The Apprentice and good riddance.

I was confused by what you were trying to say, but then I realised it wasn't me that was confused; you were the one confused. I put this down to the fact that you got your weeks mixed up, as none of that happened in Week One. Which irc, was when the winning Project Manager was Claire strangely enough.

Sorry I meant to put Week Three

No problems, and sorry I didn't mean for it to sound harsh or criticizing. I must remember the smilies more, makes me seem like a hard nosed grumpy git otherwise

Talking of Smilies- why are these
called smilies?
Shouldn't they be called moanies or grumpies???

Simon may be an Essex chav (with nice eyes), but he is shaping up to be a good team player.

Best point ever made on DS lol!

If he's a chav in your eyes then you can't know what a chav is. He's just working class, that doesn't make him chavvy.

Jenny C is a chav- she's all mouth as she showed a few weeks ago

...and sarcasticies
