    Was quite amusing. That female team leader, i read about her in the papers, had some bad mental health problems and was in a centre for a while. Papers saying it was cruel she was on it as she wouldnt be able to handle the stress.

    She did seem a bit OTT, that song they sung to that office, god i could hardly hardly watch it it was that embarassing.

    The team leader who did go, he seemed way too nice and it wasnt a surprise he went.

    Some interesting characters this series

    I think Andy was doomed from the moment that the rest of the guys railroaded him into being team leader. They all knew that the losing team leader in the first week was probably going to get the chop, and to take the job unwillingly showed a lack of assertiveness.

    At least by jumping forward into it Jadine showed no fear. I've a feeling that she might have managed to squirm out of it had she been on the losing side too; being a bit mad, and looking as though you're on the verge of a nervous breakdown has worked wonders for others in the past.

    I would like to think Sir Alan is honest and wouldnt just do it for the TV BUT obviously keeping the 'mad one' in helps ratings and makes it more funny. In the original series that cocky italian bloke should have gone early on but as he wound everyone up/was a total posey twat to be nice about him, it was good for the show.

    Last year that dappy mad woman should have gone instantly but again its good for the show.

    Sure this year that strange singing woman will last a fair bit.

    Do hate the way the PC brigade waffle on about explotation etc though, they moaned when Pete went in Big Brother and he actually did the world of good teaching people what the disease is and people loved him.

    I'm sure if this woman wasnt capable of going into something like this, doctors or her family would advise her.

    What disturbed me was that song though, still have visions of that, so cringeful

    Is the forum okay ? Keep getting 'system level too high' ? Someones been on the wacky backy

    Auntie (the BBC) has crawled into bed with YouTube and uploaded a teaser of next week's programme.

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0foXsXNFlrg

    "Everyone take their jackets and ties off except me".
    "And stop swearing". That should endear him to Sir Alan.

    The BBC has said that they are not going to track down everyone who has uploaded their stuff already. Relax.

    Gah. I'm going to have to find out when the repeat of this programme is on. Hope it doesn't conflict with Top Gear!

    The thing about The Apprentice, the contestants are all such awful people, so it seems (certainly in the last one). Not awful like Adolf Hitler was awful, but awful in a way you wouldn't want to share a long car journey with them kind of way - the sort of person Blur was singing about in "Charmless Man".

    You can tell half of 'em don't get it, either. You can see how they try and project an image of 'go getting business' and business agressiveness - and the camera cuts to Alan Sugar who is rolling his eyes.

    I cant stand most of these people. That youtube vid makes me cringe with that northern bloke "we work like its the last day, we work till we bleed' etc !

    They just seem all off a factory line of super grads or something. All talk the same BS, instead of saying something normal they have to dress it up in bullsh*t marketing talk when theyre simply selling coffee or that.

    Still love the series but i would like it if they did a version like the US Apprentice. One team were grads, the other team were from the school of hard knocks and started their own businesses when they were young and didnt have a diploma/degree etc.

    Would be far less BS

    Ha ha just seen that trailer, that Rory guy is unbelievable. Going on about 'something which really pisses him off' and then the next sentence says he hates swearing. Then telling them to take off their jackets/ties, going to be a funny episode next week !

    Ha ha very good

    But isnt that sexist her just trying to get jobs for women ? If theres a recruitment agency purely for blokes you would have a couple of women moaning its sexist etc !

    no its not sexist if its trying to encourage women into male dominated areas of work. i think its positive that women aren't always pigeonholed into being nurse's or secretarys.

    its not a fair world, and its nice to see people being given a leg up once in a while.

    Nothing to do with the apprentice but went to the BBC news website and started reading about some kid having teaching on the Falklands...

    http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/shared/spl/hi/picture_gallery/07/in_pictures_class_of_one/html/1.stm

    I do wish i would grow up, i started sniggering when i read about the 'type of education' he receives. Have images of Julian Clary doing the class (so to speak)

    alright mate, youve had a go are birds, and now the gays. its very important to teach homosexuality to people, this poor lad is on an isolated island with not positive gay role models. i for one am all for camp training. if you go to gay night clubs these days, you will find alot of shirt lifters dont know how to mince properly. its good to know that there are dedicated people out there taching this sort of thing. pink power i say.

    reminds me of that monty python sketch where the officer is teaching his squad of soldiers how to be camp.
