The Apprentice

[Sirloin]

JUSTICE.

[Monkeyboy]

Tom!!! Amazing that he won despite being in so many losing teams.

[Commander Jameson]

His first job should be to hire Helen.

[deerokus]

Hurrah for Gordon Freeman!

[keineboom]

Is Michael Sheen available for the film version?

[SeanR]

see? SEE!?!

I called it!

No I did, honestly!

[shock33]

Has anyone ever done so badly in the tasks and won?

[Commander Jameson]

WTF, MacIntyre? Fup's sake.

[Sirloin]

They should have pitched a business idea of punching Karen Brady. Surefire winner.

[Velse]

I like the way he just intuitively knew how to close the doors on a Rolls Royce.

[The Bag]

McIntyre! Fuck, I wanted to watch this too.

[IR354Lifeqhybot]

WTF, MacIntyre? Fup's sake.

Yup, time for me to switch off!

[DC Lemon]

When he stepped outside and took his glasses off, all I could think of was Keyser Soze.

[Sidewaysbob]

Well done Tom ... it sounds like a stupid idea, but I guess Sugar like the idea. good luck mr inventor chap

[Sirloin]

"Hahaha, isn't my tax evasion funny"

[shock33]

I've got a better idea, it's called a Learning Stick, and the next series is just Lord Sugar beating people with the Learning Stick and shouting "STOP BEING SHIT, YOU LEARN GOOD NOW!"

[keineboom]

"Hahaha, isn't my tax evasion funny"

'I don't evade tax, I avoid it'

[SeanR]

yes dara, it's because the french are cunts.

[Sidewaysbob]

To be fair, it's not too far from the truth

[SeanR]

arrrh, t'is the music from Ghostbusters!

[Tefleon]

Toms plan is a non stater because companies don't care

Maybe they don't care but they legally have to provide all kinds of stuff to ensure people are sitting correctly, the monitors are at the correct height, the lightling isnt to bright etc.

And there's loads of money in it! I've seen £100 paper glare protectors which stop sunlight being reflected up from paper on your desk which is actually a sheet of lighting gel and can be bought for about a pound.

[Goose]

The thing that Sugar said 'Your idea needs serious tweaking' leads me to believe that Tom's idea will end up being nothing at all to do with chairs or bad backs.

[Wickedkitten]

Im so glad that Jim got shut down. im also extremely pleased that Helen was denied after trying to pull some shit like that.

[Commander Jameson]

Oh. I think I prefer business Helen.

[Monkeyboy]

Helen's looking hot on the after show.

[Commander Jameson]

What's MacIntyre there for?

[Smoothy]

Helen - HOT

[Monkeyboy]

He's there to try and hit on Melody, it seems.

[Yobo Ahoy]

I also think Tom might be considered a bit of a dark horse at this stage. Stranger things have happened...

This counts as a prediction, right?

Good on Tom, I don't think many people would have called him winning after the first few weeks. I think someone in this thread summed it up a little while back by saying Sugar basically wanted a Dyson-killer on board and that's pretty much how it panned out. I'm mostly glad Jim didn't win though, the big ol' bullshitter.

Anyway, a total first - the biggest bellend in a series of the Apprentice isn't actually one of the contestants. Do one please, McIntyre...

I took that to initially mean that he'll want to strip-out the employer consultation bit.

Glad that Helen didn't win after her nasty trick in the boardroom, and her initial plan was bloody awful. Susan's plan would have been better had she done some better prep on the numbers. Jim's plan was a passion-project that - whilst good - wouldn't be a great money-spinner unless it got government investment (I'm sure you aren't allowed to advertise to schools?).

Not sure Tom's idea is that fantastic, to be honest, but we'll see.
