The Apprentice !!

Recommended Posts

It's BACK !! It's that time again!!

The dickheads - edit: entrepreneurs are with us again!!

The Apprentice starts on Tuesday, 10th May 2011 at 9 pm... for the first episode each team will be focusing on fresh fruit in a task to see who gets the highest amount of cash back!!

The boys have the magnificent idea of squeezing 14,000 oranges to sell juice. Okaaaay.

The second episode, screened on Wednesday, may be more interesting, as it involves the teams creating a brand new app for a mobile phone!!

This year's quote of the day goes to candidate Melody Hossaini, 26, who tells Lord Alan:

"Don't tell me the sky is the limit when there are footprints on the moon".

Let's hope Lord Sugar doesn't send her there!!

Sounds like it's turning into the Gadget Show then? Let's hope it features Suzi Perry in the catsuit...

If she's the usual type of arse they get on The Apprentice, let's hope Amspace takes off and he DOES send em there...

The right guy went last night, he seemed to be on there just to get out of accountancy.

Very surprised at the boys losing to the girls in tonights task. Neither, like most apps I imagine, was really worthy of winning but the girls weren't that good and I already don't like this weeks PM and the Asian girl seems to be a bit of a child when not getting her own way.

Not impressed with censorship

The apps task just generated 2 total loads of garbage, really can't be bothered with those damn things at all.

The task this week was great, but also very uncomfortable to watch. A friend of mine made the best comment I've ever heard about any of the tasks. Shortly after the nonsense over the top hat I got a text saying "I don't know much about business, but I do know you can't buy a top hat at a dry cleaners".

Just goes to show what I've believed for a long time, just because you can talk the talk and have a fancy job, doesn't necessarily mean you have a great deal of common sense.

I agree. Unfortunately it's these types of people that seem to get on in the World.

That 'Edna' (I think it is) is really getting on my nerves. Annoying lady that seems to be watching over everyone like an Eagle waiting to pounce.

Always love the views on the Apprentice. The sunsets and the landscape of London. They shoot that so well.

I thought it was great !! You do what you have to do !! I'd rather have had someone cool and competent like her representing Lord Sugar, than someone who looks like a bloody nutter, and has a business plan that failed to even mention what it was about.

Someone was saying to me on my Twitter as well the chairs are a smashing idea, but years too late. And no cost conscious business is gonna take all this on (esp. at the moment).

I'd even rather have had Susie in all her naivety. Apparently Jim's business plan was almost identical to something his SISTER is actually doing in Ireland at the moment. So, he basically 'stole' an idea ?!? ! *

* Still really liked Jim though too - he could have charmed anyone he chose on Lord Sugar's behalf.... Damn and blast and damnation and everything else. So annoying :-(

    • Nat in for Dean with Vicky as well that day.
    • So the end of weekend afternoons this week - new show is July 1st.
    • Arielle is in for Greg on Monday 27th May.
    • He’s definitely gotten better and the show has sounded fine this week. I think it been at its best when it’s been Katie and Jamie or Vick and Katie. Vick and Jamie are ok together, but I do think the show sounds better when it’s Vick and Katie and therefore I still don’t really understand the point of the trio.    Jamie is, however, a lot better than Danny Beard! 
    • The RAJAR coming on later this year reflecting later summer to autumn will be interesting to how it reflects Matt and Mollie in afternoons to the revised changes on radio 1’s new music slots and the schedule re-shuffling Radio 3 introducing a new slate of programmes. Then, later on this year have speech radio stations having domestic political coverage of the election but also America’s presidential election.  
    • I actually caught snippets of today’s show, and I found it much better than the last time I listened. I have made it no secret that I like Jamie on the radio, I was surprised by how much I enjoyed Matt & him together last year. People have criticised him for not being relatable, but I have to agree with the comment above that I have always found him a naturally warm person to listen to. Maybe the going home set up was something that needed settling in and things are starting to take shape.  It must have been difficult for him joining an established duo in Vick & Katie to begin with.  Jamie was great on something songs today, fully engaged in the caller and sounded like a real presenter. Maybe he is doing as a lot of us hoped and really learning as he goes, how to do it properly. 
    • Agree with this. The anti-Jamie feeling was IMO quite influenced by the negativity around him replacing Jordan, since Jordan was exceptional and also universally loved. When people mention Danny and Jamie in the same sentence about bad hiring decisions I almost choke - Jamie may not be perfect but he's several leagues better than Danny already and has bags of potential. Danny is poor and has shown zero potential...
    • Jamie started 4 March, and the figures only going up to 31 March, so it isn't reliable. But it has shown the numbers have dropped in afternoons compared to last quarter. It looks like it's Capital's gain.
    • Do these audience figures reflect Jordan leaving and Jamie replacing him?
    • I think Jamie is really starting to settle into the role well. He comes across as really warm, and genuinely invested in the listeners when he’s talking to them which is nice. I think he’s building a really great relationship with Vicki and Katie too. His recent great company podcast is great too, where he has quite a deep chat with someone new each week. He’s clearly a very genuine person and I think he has some real potential.
    • Most probably. But do wonder what the future of the relax themed programmes will be when they officially wind down that service.
    • I think it's just to replace Wind Down presents... which was in that timeslot, and I'm guessing Chillout Anthems was just a buffer since it'll still be played at 06:00 on Sundays.
    • With listening on the U.K. for the industry in general it is good overall as most stations reach is on the up and shows radio to be more sustainable and stable outlet than linear televisions channels. This RAJAR I think with the increase shift to DAB+ the BBC will be able to say it has it’s audiences for the proposed new stations it wishes to launch and think the new innovative ideas that it seems Jack himself can take credit for on the new music show think the younger under 30 gen z demographic could increase se in that time-slot. 
    • Conor Knight is in for Sam & Danni on Saturday 8th & Sunday 9th June. It's Radio 1 at Parklife, 13.00-16.00 on Saturday 8th & Sunday 9th June. Matt & Mollie are in for Greg from Monday 10th to Friday 14th June - it's just Matt on the Thursday. It's Radio 1 at Download, 13.00-16.00 on Friday 14th June.
    • Rajar looking healthy this quarter, with the numbers staying fairly stable.
