That's 72k a year

Quite a good wage. A bit of an exaggeration maybe...

She looks at sounds like a 12yr old when she talks and her ideas are very naive and childish to say the least.
I'm looking forward to seeing how she progresses.

I wondered when I read that yesterday. How on earth does she earn that, when she seems to have little professional brains or talent. Maybe she just haranges everyone for £5k's worth of tips a month

My guess is that when she project manages Jenny will take over and then sting her in the boardroom saying that Lindi was out of her depth.

To be honest, I'm struggling to see how any of them could managed to get out of their own front doors in the morning without written instructions. This year's lot have definitely been chosen for entertainment value rather than ability. Shame to see the Apprentice going down the BB route.

6k might be stretching the truth, but there's no doubt in my mind that she's an "operator"! She might be "dumb" on the surface but, as yet she's stayed out of the BR and I think she will until she's PM. As much as I dislike Claire she was right when she said there are people who are "staying" under the radar and Lindi is most definitely one of them. When it's considered that Lindi was in the same team as Shazia (who is probably streets ahead of Lindi academically), yet it was Lindi who stayed, says a lot to how she is playing the game! Not necessarily academic but, definitely knows how to play the game.

To earn £6000 a month she must be either a hooker or a drugdealer?






(mods note the questionmark - i'm not stating its a fact )

Thing is they exaggerate. Last year Katie claimed to earn a huge sum, which after she went the people who had employed her said she had NOT been earning.

Laughing Ball, there are black people in high paid jobs that
a) don't involve being a sex worker b) drugs c) being good at sport and d) singing.

Also black women with professional qualifications/ a degree now earn £2,000 a year more than whites (in the US this is about $3,000). I think some prof said it's because black women are less likely to be married so need to earn more.

What's her race got to do with it? She's very young, quite thick and ridiculously childish...how does anyone - of any colour - with those qualities "earn" £6000 a month.

Exactly. She is very stupid regardless of her young age - nowt to do with being black (some people are obsessed with race).

If that's a net figure she'd be making in excess of £100K gross a year! I think not some how!

No she probably wasn't. She cannot have achieved a lot, she isn't the brighest, no business sense at all. She is deffinately one the people just there to entertain who Sir Alan will sack soon. There for the media career and tv fame. Why else would she audition for a presenting job if she is such a great business woman?

I think your reply reveals that the most important thing about Lindi for you is her colour. Most of us don't care a fig what colour she is--black, white, yellow or purple with spots--she just seems to be extremely silly.

To be honest I ignore the salaries they are said to have had because I think that like big brother, the apprentice don't check, so candidates just plug a figure from thin air.

6k a month in london is not really that much, and the program is edited...I dont think we can know all there is to know.

Having said that, I dont think I have seen a more bumbling bunch of bonkers buffoons in my life.

Simon was completely useless. I mean, ffs, its a photo stand, its taking pictures and printing them??? Whats the problem??

None of them seem to have any computer skills at all, none of them, but in partcular Simon, seem to be able to talk to people without sound like a tacky movie voiceover, and none of them seem able to do more than one thing at once.

Its just crap. They all sit in the boardroom spouting these "business phrases", but not really having a bloody clue

But isn't Lindi from Birmingham?!

Did you also pick up on the fact that one of the girls said she didn't know how to take photos on her phone.

I do feel that this year's contestants are more about the fame than the job at the end. And if I hear "I'll give it 110%" one more time.....

I really don't think so. She's just been lucky that she's not been called in so far...and it's probably because none of the others see her as a threat. As soon as she does get called into the boardroom her card is marked. Sir Alan has already clocked that she is as thick as two short planks!!
