Now you all know that I don't like The Apprentice, don't you? So tonight I watched it again because Mr. E. loves it and I got quite involved. When Lord ( : Sugar announced which team had got the deal with Asda I said "Good, I'm glad Helen's team won" but when I had no response from Mr. E. I turned to him and guess what? Yes, he was fast asleep. I had most likely been watching The Apprentice for half an hour or more when I could have been watching something else. Except that I would have missed the end. Do you think Zoe should have been fired?

I only have to close my eyes for a second for Jack to switch channels.
I probably would have watched Lewis if I'd been on my own all evening, but Jack was out until nearly 9 and my conscience wouldn't let me subject him to the remaining hour of a detective story.
So we watched the Apprentice, which I know he enjoys.... and he fell asleep too , waking up for the Submariner training documentary, which I have to admit was interesting, at least until I dozed off. I'm not sure that Zoe was the right person to fire; everyone in the team was focusing far too much on the concept rather than the product itself - though Su was never expected to get involved in that side of things so was rightly not in the boardroom.

Do you think Zoe should have been fired? Definitely not. Melody is a prize twat, and the Asda buyers are clearly shitheads. Aside: I suspect that Helen works for Greggs, which is based in the place of my birth (Gosforth). [Sorry about the over-technical terminology.]

No need to be so bitter, Weyland.
Zoe's hairdo on the aftershow was.... um.... well.... wtf?

In fact, it would be a suitable candidate for a Mystery Object you know where.

Yes, I watched The Apprentice: You're fired on BBC2. I was surprised (considering the strange hairstyle) at how much more attractive she looked. She reminded me of a sturdier version of Gwynyth Paltrow.

Do you know - linking with the Peter Falk thread - that there was a Columbo where John Cassevetas (sp?) played the murderer, and his wife was played by a woman (I forget her name) who was pregnant. Well, the baby was born ten days after (or before) the episode was shown on TV, and she was called.... Gwynyth Paltrow.

John Cassavetes - died aged 59. I used to like him. He was great in Rosemary's Baby.
Yes, Gwyneth* Paltrow was the daughter of Blythe Danner (actress) and Bruce Paltrow (director)
* it's Gwyneth not Gwynyth - I spelt it wrong in my previous post

Melody is full of shit. Jim is full of shit.
Susie is up herself.
Tom lacks backbone and linear thinking ability.
Natascha lacks class.
Process of elimination, the divine Helen, 9 wins out of 9.
What was Jim doing promising them multi-million pound advertising deals? Is this just a mock-thing I presume then - the supermarkets don't actually order the biscuits?
As I was posting away merrily earlier in the thread (to no takers) aren't the mechanics of this quite interesting?

I think we should take a moment to reflect on our sexism and check that we are not being mean to melody because she's a laydee.

She's an android; a replicant; a very imperfect (and malignant) machine. You can tell by the strange way her mouth moves, the perfect teeth, and the endless stream of drivel that she emits, dotted with the very occasional pearl by random chance. I would put a silver bullet through her CPU and burn her at the stake, to be sure, to be sure. ~ Helen lives in God's Own Country, Northumberland. This is a message to us from on high. (But I'll miss Zoe, who referred to Melody as "shiny shit".)

I'm warming to Jim.
There, it is said. If that goes viral I have only myself to blame; I should have waited til morning.

We like Helen because she's passive - what's not to like? We don't like Melody because she behaves like a man. That's the long and short of it.

Susie could still pull this out of the bag.
