The Apprentice Thread ***spoilers obv.***

[Dice Man]

Yo, sup all. Anybody see The Apprentice today? It seemed to me that they fired the ugliest contestant, and also when it comes to the women's team, they always judge each other's competences based solely on how attractive they are. There were a few fit women who as far as I could tell did fuck all, but they managed to appear like professional businesswomen because they look attractive.

Also the woman who had a close escape, Debra, seemed like a right bitch. She just has the kind of face you want to punch until she dies.

As for the men, I think they probably have better candidates for the women. They're a combination of preening twats and people who look quite hard-working. I just wonder when they're going to fuck over the obvious Muslim.

Delete this thread.... the apprentice is the worst programme on tv!!

It is no better or worse than x factor... it encourages grown men to bitch and act like women and it encourages women to have an opinion and dress like men - neither is needed in todays society.

Every contestant is type cast and have a role to play. The tasks are fuckin stupid. There is more emphesis on the losers as oppossed to the winners.

The contestants are just that; CONTESTANTS on a GAME show! This is nothing more than a BBC version of big brother. However, Big Brother is actually more entertaining than this absolute pile of shite.

Rant over. Thanks for reading.

So what if it's just a reality TV show? It's still entertaining, as is X Factor. Most of these programmes are heavily edited and people argue that the producers effectively re-write what really happened, but you can't fake most stuff that's caught on TV. People still say and do the stuff they're seen to say and do.

Of course you want to emphasise the losers over the winners because that's where most of the drama and stress of the contestants is and is therefore more entertaining. The Apprentice is a brilliant show because they have a combination of talented people and absolute morons, and it's hard to tell between them at the start because they all have impossibly high opinions of themselves. It gives you people to hate and I like hating people, especially stupid twats who earn 100k+ because they're employed by stupider richer twats. As Bertrand Russell said, "Few people can be happy unless they hate some other person, nation, or creed." I am not one of those few people so I watch The Apprentice.

I agree with Lee.

The apprentice is just as bad as I'm a celeb. I cant see the entertainment value in this one bit?

I reckon Rocky will win, he used to play for Middlesbrough though so might be an inherent loser!

Nice pic above btw!

Yeah it seems to me that stuff that they show on You're Fired will come to Sir Alan's attention at some point. That's the sort of thing that if he ever got to the interview stage at all he'd get grilled on, and you just don't need more reasons for them to think you're weird.

Plus in the boardroom he was slouching and looking really worried, and that seems to be exactly what got last week's contestant fired. I think that the calmer you act and the more that you keep asserting that you did a good job people will think you really did in this. So I'd agree with you on Arthur as a favourite, alongside some of the more self-assured attractive women. I reckon those ones are the least likely to fall apart at any stage. The guy who survived who basically did nothing wrong today except talked a lot, he's going to find himself singled out as responsible more often because he's clearly so insecure. They can even make him believe he was responsible because he's so suggestible.

Also at the very end Howard went back to the house and said "Rocky failed because he chose the wrong people to take in with him. I think he should still be here and one of you should be gone." The clear political move here would've been to say that Rocky deserved to go because there'd be no repercussions from insulting him. Instead he let his ego do the talking. Based on the premise that he was clearly too good to have even been in the boardroom he was forced to say that somebody else was much worse. He didn't say who so he ended up offending all of the remaining men.

Bump for this week's episode. I thought Sir Alan had the right decision today as that guy Maj had seemingly done very little. I suppose he was unlucky though as there are several others (especially women) who seem to do little as well, but they weren't pointed out or were on the winning team. Ben is a twat, and that other guy (James?) is rubbish. They will both go before the final IMO.

The other team by far had the best candidates. However, Debra for me has gone to new heights of being a bitch. I just hate her face so much now. There's an episode of The Office where David Brent tells a joke bout a black man, and then he's told that some anonymous (non-black) woman had complained because she was offended. I always wondered who these ultra-PC ****s were, as they always appear to just make anonymous complaints. But anyway, Debra is one of them. She was the only person who was offended in her team about the slightest hint of racism because she has a possible future black baby (Odds, 500:1). For her being a bitch is an end in itself, not a means to an end IMO. I'm not sure if I want her to go yet though as I'm worried I won't have anybody to hate if she does.
