Due to various assignment deadlines, lectures and prostration,
I haven’t been able to done the last 2 weeks worth of Apprentice recaps with my
usual comments and berating. So here I’ll sum up my thoughts from the past 2
episodes.
Week 8:
Another week, another sprint to the fancy downstairs phone.
Couldn’t Sugar just like, call one of their mobiles?
James was doomed from the start. Pretty much nailed on to be
fired after lying to his team about missing out on hot tubs.
James getting the hot tub seller’s name wrong pretty much
cost them the hot tub sale (and possibly led to his downfall).
Felipe telling Dan with a straight face that he won’t be
selling the hot tubs. He looked like he was going to drop a brick when Dan went
postal on him.
Dan and Felipe having public arguments about how to sell
something. Might as well put a flipped hat near them and call it dramatic improv.
Imagine thinking that flat cap handbags aren’t at all tacky
and would sell well.
Roison wanting to kill James.
Nick Hewer looking bemused on a lawnmower is easily one of
the highlights of this Apprentice series.
It’s week 8 and Sanjay is somehow still in the process.
James failing to see his own errors and focus on everyone
else’s. “All this negativity and going on about the past isn’t going to h-“
blah blah James. Bore off.
Week 9:
Felipe looking like he was going to cry into his cereal. He
looks really lonely.
Lord Sugar looking at his candidates with disgust before
making the task brief. “Aw ffs, couldn’t these morons wear better loungewear?”
Big fan of watching the candidates trying to negotiate product
price. Pretty sure Dan would argue to get a better bargain out of a buy one get
one free offer.
Apprentice producers trying to make an oud oil deal look
like a staged drug deal.
Soloman willing to make an arse of himself via using a
skeleton as a doll to make a purchase. He’s lovably endearing.
Roison’s eyes hypnotised the jeweller to bang that diamond
for £50. Either that or she’s incredibly sexy.
Katie getting free rope and boasting how it was deal of the
day when it was just over 1M long and couldn’t stop praising herself to realise
she really should get some scissors.
I still don’t know what nigella seeds are.
Lord Sugar was outsmarted completely by Felipe’s paper
skeleton and he didn’t provide full details of what was required. If Lord Sugar
wanted a full size boned skeleton then he should have said so otherwise Felipe
got fired for being clever. Quite harsh when previous winners have proved to be
cunning, clever and always providing a successful alternative. #VamousFelipe.
Going to miss Felipe referring to himself in the third
person.
