Most incompetent candidates ever
sveknu

Who do you think are the most incompetent candidates ever (business-wise)? This has nothing to do with who you like or not. There are plenty to choose from, here are my top 6 (no particular order):

-Rory. Need I say more?

-Ifti. Total meltdown after beeing away from his son for about two days or so. Not exactly what you call Apprentice material.

-Nargis. Took sales pitching to a whole new level.
"Do you know that there are 2353245232 cats in England"?
- No, but I have som questions for..
"Shut up, I'm talking"
- What price do you have in mind for this?
"You tell me. Pick a number".

-Lindsay. Pushed her terrible toy-idea despite her whole team AND a focus group disagreeing with her.

-Michael. Can't negotiate. Can't sell. Can't sing. Uses three hours on research on where to put an apostrophe. Claims to be a jew but doesn't know what kosher is.
Pretty good at being a pathetic, total wuss in the boardroom though.

-Rachel. Used xx hours to make a "mood-board", and also gave the most embarassing presentation in the history of mankind. Great comedy value, though.

Raj - Series 1. I'm still unsure as to how he got to the final 6 despite not doing a single notable thing all series!

Rory - need I say more?

Andy - too nice IMO.

Nargis - that pitch!

Nicholas.

Rory's the one who was adamant:

" I AM YOUR boss!!"

He also told all the members of his team to take their jackets off.

He was embarassingly bad!

Syed - for failing to realise he was stood underneath a random railway bridge, rather than Kew Bridge - where he was supposed to be.

Alexa - I liked her, but she was too nice.

Nargis - The Cat pitch was terrible

Ghazal - Her dog cabinet pitch...... awful, she never really did much through the series.

Lindsay (Series 1), Adele (Series 1), Raj (Series 1), Paul (Series 3), Rory (Series 3)

Ifti (Series 3) - "I have a brilliant idea!!!!!........ Oh I've forgotten it"

Kevin, Nicholas, Michael (Series 4)


Okay - thats rather a lot - but I'm sure there are more

Maybe even Sir Alan - for failing to fire Michael, and Paul Torrisi, and Syed

Jenny C stands out for me. Ludicrous decisions, rubbish ideas, couldn't manage, on the losing team more than she was on the winning team and the worst thing was, she actually thought she was really good

Series 1: Rachel for the most idiotic pitch ever but nevertheless funny

Series 2: Syed for that stupid 100 chickens fiasco, and Mani for his poor pitch and misinformation in the advert task

Series 3: Gerri for being useless, Rory for being the worst leader ever in the series next to Jenny C and Paul for the France fiasco, selling mass produced cheese and that stupid heating contraption.

Current Series: Jenny C for being the worst candidate in every areas, Micheal for being a grade A idiot in every episode, Lindi for that stupid suggestion of a laundry helpline

oh and nargis for that hilarious yet stupid pitch....did you know that there are 6 million cat owners in the uk?

Series 1 - Lindsay
Series 2 - Syed, Tuan, Mani, Samuel, Nargis
Series 3 - Andy, Ifti, Rory, Gerri[location, location, location!], Paul, Ghazal
Series 4 - Lindi, Kevin, Simon, Ian, Jenny C, Michael

When Ifti was fired he said in the cab he'd be a billionaire by the time he's 50 - yeah right!
