Yet another cringeworthy episode!

3 candidates were in front of Sir Alan for firing and he agreed with his Advisors that one was a Liar, the second a Whinger and the third was a Planner.

I could not believe it when he kept the Liar - says a lot for his businesses :shock:
Justice delayed is justice denied.

I agree...although his choice of who to fire is so incredibly random...one minute he holds one of them "totally responsible" for the team's failure to win the task and then he fires someone else. So contrived :roll:

Couldn't agree more Foxy. I watched last night's episode and the one on Tue night (because of this thread!). On Tue they were actually being urged to be nasty about each other. Confrontation is what gets us viewers tuning in I suppose, which means you can't get rid of the most annoying participants!

Loved the comment from the shopkeeper about the designer mag rack being just a bit of 'bent metal' :D

Great episode. I thought Ahmed was for the chop until it was him that The Suge spoke to first. From the way they edited it you thought it was going to be him.

If Ahmed had mentioned one more time that he was from the east end I was going to throw one of my small concrete lights at the tv screen.

Probably the reaction of most................and the reason why they get decent viewing figures, nothing like an arrogant ****** (as last night's evictee so eloquently called him) for everyone to hate, to pull in the viewers.

If he actually won the thing, how could he work for Sir Al when the whole nation has seen him tell porkies constantly and "empathise" so cringeworthingly :pukeright: with every race/religion/creed/etc, etc he meets.

The funniest thing about S-head, and there's not a lot, is he thinks he grew up in the East End.

Contrived is the word that's beginning to resonate. I'm even suspicious of how they ended up in the "dealers" house. It seems strange that a supposedly big shaker in the portable petrol dispenser business is prepared to have 2 jerkys in his house at 5pm in the evening just so as he can buy 300 prototype non-spill canisters at £7.50 a pop. Maybe its because he is a big shaker?

Anyways, he stands to make a gross profit of £9.50 per can, if he sells the lot. Hardly worth getting pumped up about for a man of his standing.

Think he's one of those people that lies so much he actually believes himself to be telling the truth. Met a few like that. :roll:

Equally delighted :D

Who do you think will win?

Im placing my bets on Ancell or Ruth :D though last night in the boardroom I thought Ruth was a right horror.

Can't stand Paul Tulip and not fussed re Michelle.

Not seen enough of Ansell to judge him really...don't think he's been in the board room yet??...he's definitely a good salesman but not sure about his other qualities...I remain to be convinced

Like you Sandra not bothered either way about Michelle

Think it will be between Paul and Ruth. My favourite would be Ruth but I think Paul may win

I have never seen the Apprentice or Mr Tit.

He has his own website. It has this picture on it.
