Spoiler

It's time for a breather. After last week's boardroom blitz ("I'll fire the 'ole bloody five of you if I have to - it don't bother me at all!"), tonight the stress levels drop. But only a little. The task looks a doddle after haggling with Marrakesh street traders: sell dresses and accessories at a wedding show. But first the two teams have to select their wares and decide whether punters at Birmingham NEC will plump for wedding dresses costing hundreds of pounds - or designer outfits costing thousands. Things are going smoothly until the episode's laugh-out-loud highlight when one of the candidates decides to don a fluffy bear outfit to help sales along. But there's real emotion in the boardroom: you know it matters to these poor souls whether they win or not when you see the tears brimming in their eyes as Sir Alan prepares to point the finger. Heaven help them.

I'm looking forward to tonight's, I hear there's a lot of Raef.

My ears are burning! (or should I say eyes?)

More Raef = Better The Apprentice is

You've gotta love him! He's so brave.

As long as more Raef is a positive thing, I just don't want him to be fired

I think some people have to admitt that some of Raef's ideas (yes most are creative) but some are terrible and a waste of time.

I think if someone like Michael dressed up in a teddy bear costume in tonight's episode, people would be at his throat saying "What an idiot"" Instead, now that Raef has done it, people are saying "how brave"lol...

Just a guess of course!
(I do absolutely hate Michael btw)

The show is all about Raef this year, of course he won't be fired....

The difference is Raef will do it with good humour and an air of class, while Michael would whinge about it like like a howling dog....

Also even the most creative person in the world will come up with bad ideas. It's certainly better to have some good and some bad ideas than to have no ideas at all, for sure.

Mr P it's Raef though , you know he's being humourous.

Even when making the size 16 comment , he's being humourous and lighthearted and it comes across that way too whereas if one of the other boys made it they'd come across as bitchy as spiteful as that's what they have shown themselves to be so far.

He's not. He's laughing at big people, not with them, and the idiot has one in the car with him who's too much of a crawler to do anything other than laugh.

What a prize **** he is.

Oh please, as someone who has been a size 16 plus at one time in my life, I have to say only someone who has had a sense of humour bypass wouldn't see that as a bit of gentle humour. Either that or someone who is determined to see Raef in a bad light.

I tend to agree. I like him for how he has portrayed himself as a "damn good egg", but the "Italian accents" and "dressing up like the locals" are two suggestions that I cringed at.

Bit early but: Evening Folks.

Oh, please, Claire was in the cab with him, she's at least size 16 and she didn't take offence.

I know. I've read the spoilers and REALLY hope they're true - put in as a spoiler because I'm pretty sure people who read the forums might know who I'm supporting

Evening all. Here's hoping for a Michael or Alex firing.

Not likely though.

I wouldn't try telling people off on the BB thread for posting whilst the show is on. They do it for 12 weeks continually.

The forums are the best part of most of TV shows. You can "chat" without ruining it for people around you! I don't understand how they can complain.
