The Apprentice #5

[Ratherbeskiing]

We were saying last night how nice it was not to have a tit-off for a change!

Drove me nuts that the tropical team didn't just sell their excess as bunches on their own. Stick 10 gerberas together and charge a tenner, £1 per flower. It might not be a huge profit, but it's not a loss and at 5.30pm, you'll do what you need to. The other team selling the foliage was inspired.

I went to bed after the winning team was announced, who went last night please? (And if if wasn’t the smarmy greasy one who looks like Penfold from Dangermouse, why not?)

It was the PM. Sorry I can’t even remember her name. They are all either insipid or really really annoying (Skeletor, Kieran). But they are all undoubtedly as thick as pig tit.

Not relevant to the recent episode, but:

Do or did any parents of children in the relevant ages to the tasks in the show, ever actually use a tie-in app for breakfast cereals or toothbrushes?

I work in a primary school and while I obviously don't hear about every aspect of the children's lives, such apps just don't seem to "fit" with what I do hear?

I enjoyed that one too. I thought it was going to be one of those tasks designed to fail but I think they did quite well aside from the abomination that was that flower wall! At least some of them grasped it was a profit task and put some thought into which flowers to choose.

I think sometimes the corporate client is told to reject them as I couldn't really see anything wrong with the flower arch.

The arch wasn't rejected ? They just thought it wasn't worth the 2,000 because the flowers were sparse at the bottom so they agreed a lower price.

The wall was an abomination and I agree with the rejection

That wall for The Devil Wears Prada was horrendous, but to be fair I'm not entirely sure how you make a floral wall thing 'high fashion'??

Yeah perhaps rejected wasn't the right word, but they found a problem with it and negotiated the lower price plus extra bouquets. But the arch itself was fine, considering they are complete amateurs. If they'd been dealing with actual florists then fair enough, you'd expect better!

Which one is that

 

[Scotch Mist]

Who was the idiot who kept calling Hydrangeas 'Hydrogens?

 

[Sketchy]

I think it was Megan.

 

[Ivegone]

I still don't know any of their names apart from kieran and sometimes I know who Dan is

Call him Penfold too & he definitely should’ve gone. He delivered a poor message as to what the client wanted which is why they lost. That said agree with the point made before, a high fashion flower wall. Why? Leader of the team went, can’t recall her name. She dint deserve to go. I’m not a fan of Pascha (whatever her name is) she’s lazy & superior.

Is that the one who looks like the one who left last week

 

[lilykestrel]

Feel like I'm finally old saying this but the way some of them dress has me thrown, it's not businesswear! Don't know why I'm surprised, I was on an interview panel for an entry level admin job once and all the Gen Z aged candidates turned up in jeans

 

[Django]

How she's still there is beyond me!

 

[Probablylurking66]

Megan should have been fired a few weeks back when she negotiated the corporate client down to £12 per head for canapés for some unknown reason, when they easily would have paid twice that

 

[TrashleenMoron]

Am I the only who smirked every time "Harry and Megan" were referred to in the same sentence? With no apparent acknowledgement or recognition from the candidates or Lord Sugar?

 

[hehehe]

Who even remembers who went last week lol

It looked more like a small child had a moana themed party and the small children made a flower wall as a party activity/gift for the birthday child.

White, black and red flowers would've looked nice for DWP but I guess they couldn't do that as they'd already chosen tropical/bright flowers? So doomed to fail from the start.
