Janet Posted June 11, 2008 Posted June 11, 2008 I think the best two got through to the final. I'd have liked Claire to win, but I guess Lee is second best out of the four left. Is Alex only 24? Quote
happyanddandy Posted June 12, 2008 Posted June 12, 2008 I was so sure Sralan was going to give it to Claire and quite shocked when the other bloke got it. Lee should have been let go last week after revealing he had fabricated stuff on his CV. It shows a lack of integrity even if he did have poor schooling. Quote
~Andrea~ Posted June 12, 2008 Posted June 12, 2008 I was surprised he didn't give it to Claire. I think it came down to personality in the end. He wasn't sure he would get on with her. I enjoyed the final program. I thought the losing teams advert was really good. I'm glad Helene didn't win though. I thought she was a right pain in the bum! Quote
happyanddandy Posted June 12, 2008 Posted June 12, 2008 Helene was bland and more bland - I couldn't even recall her name easily last week. She sneaked through to the final without being noticed Quote
~Andrea~ Posted June 12, 2008 Posted June 12, 2008 I had to search previous posts in this thread to remember her name. Her indecisiveness and negativity were what really stuck out for me. Quote
Mia Posted June 12, 2008 Posted June 12, 2008 Well, I was wrong when I said that Alex would win, but right that he wouldn't give the job to Claire! In my opinion, Sralan just doesn't like women. He did exactly the same thing last year - Kristina was excellent and yet he gave the job to the guy (can't remember his name). He has stated in the media that he's not keen on giving jobs to women in case they go off and have children. I agree with H&D that Lee's lying on his CV should not have gone unpunished. It bodes ill for his integrity, but then again, as long as he makes a lot of money, I don't think Sralan will be that bothered how he makes it. Quote
Fay Posted June 12, 2008 Posted June 12, 2008 I really dont know how Helena managed to get so far along in the competition,. But congratulations to Lee, the hard work will probably begin now. And I just have to say it - That's what I'm talikng about!! Quote
Michelle Posted July 2, 2008 Posted July 2, 2008 Oh dear, not a good start.. http://news.bbc.co.uk/newsbeat/hi/entertainment/newsid_7484000/7484905.stm Apprentice Lee McQueen has called in sick on his first day of work for new boss Sir Alan Sugar. The 30-year-old winner of the BBC's reality show The Apprentice called in sick yesterday, saying he was suffering from a "flu-like virus". Quote
Spooncat Posted July 3, 2008 Posted July 3, 2008 One of our friends met Lee on holiday in Spain the other week Quote
Janet Posted March 13, 2009 Posted March 13, 2009 Did anyone see the Comic Relief - The Apprentice last night? I think the funniest bit was when Jack Dee said the person who put the chairs in the boardroom should be sacked! Gerald Ratner must surely go? The new series starts on Wednesday 25 March on BBC1 at 9pm - I can't wait! Quote
Roland Butter Posted March 13, 2009 Posted March 13, 2009 The new series starts on Wednesday 25 March on BBC1 at 9pm - I can't wait! Dunno - I'm beginning to think the concept's just about been run into the ground now. There are only so many times you can marvel at the capacity of human beings* to be complete ********s when put in front of a TV camera. (* or TV show contestants, which I admit may not be the same thing ) Quote

I think the funniest bit was when Jack Dee said the person who put the chairs in the boardroom should be sacked! Gerald Ratner must surely go? The new series starts on Wednesday 25 March on BBC1 at 9pm - I can't wait! I agree about Jack Dee. Otherwise I thought that was a pretty bad show. The girls team seemed to split almost instantly and never got back. I loved the boys team though - the way they worked together. I don't know why they revealed who won last night, and then the sacking tonight. Seems like a waste of time to me. I have never watched the series version although I am going to this time. I watched the finale last year and wished I had watched the full series. Quote
Mia Posted March 13, 2009 Posted March 13, 2009 I think the funniest bit was when Jack Dee said the person who put the chairs in the boardroom should be sacked! I agree! I really liked that bit. I enjoyed the whole programme, actually. But I do question why Ratner was leading a team after his track record! Quote
Ruth Posted March 13, 2009 Posted March 13, 2009 Did anyone see the Comic Relief - The Apprentice last night? I think the funniest bit was when Jack Dee said the person who put the chairs in the boardroom should be sacked! Gerald Ratner must surely go? The new series starts on Wednesday 25 March on BBC1 at 9pm - I can't wait! I saw it - I thought it was the weakest Celebrity one so far, and they don't appear to have actually raised any money! Love Jack Dee though. I think Gerald will be fired tonight - he never seemed to really take control of the male team. The girls didn't work well together at all, did they? Carol Vorderman came over about the best - Patsy Palmer was a horror! She was telling Michelle that she didn't want Michelle to tell her what to do, but then in the boardroom, she complained that she didn't know what she was supposed to be doing. I'm not surprised her husband told her not to walk out - he was probably enjoying the peace at home (although actually I suspect it was more likely her agent who told her to stick it out - walking off a Comic Relief project would not look good).

Genevieve Posted March 13, 2009 Posted March 13, 2009 I have no time for viewing television, but once, for a couple of days I pressed on an icon that allowed a person to watch a couple of episodes of The Apprentice. Mon Dieu! I was a shivering wreck. I could not bear it!. So , no more fooling at the computer, just do the work! Quote
Ruth Posted March 13, 2009 Posted March 13, 2009 I thought the boys would win. I think their product would sell a lot more...apparently the figures which Alan Sugar was quoting about what it would cost to produce the boys toys were way over inflated as well...I don't think he wanted the boys to win.

Janet Posted March 15, 2009 Posted March 15, 2009 Dunno - I'm beginning to think the concept's just about been run into the ground now. There are only so many times you can marvel at the capacity of human beings* to be complete ********s when put in front of a TV camera. (* or TV show contestants, which I admit may not be the same thing ) I just love watching the tasks though! So funny (most of the time!). Quote
Rawr Posted March 16, 2009 Posted March 16, 2009 Don't like a lot of celebrity based shows but i like the normal Apprentice. I love watching what tasks they're going to have to do and all the arguments and random places they have to visit, and of course the boardroom battles Alan Sugar is great, though he does remind me of a fuzzy polar bear. Quote
SueK Posted March 16, 2009 Posted March 16, 2009 I missed the sacking on Comic Relief, who got fired? I don't like reality tv shows but I do like the Apprentice. I love seeing those inflated egos suddenly deflated by Sir Alan. Kosher chicken anyone? Quote
Janet Posted March 16, 2009 Posted March 16, 2009 The kosher chicken situation was hysterical! Alan Carr got fired from the Celebrity Apprentice. I think Sir Alan felt that the other two were miserable so-and-sos (polite version!) and that Alan was too nice! Quote
scottishbookworm Posted March 16, 2009 Posted March 16, 2009 I got angry because Alan carr was fired! If comic relief wants to do something funny for money they should've fired Sir Alan Sugar he's a pig! now that would be funny! Quote
Janet Posted March 16, 2009 Posted March 16, 2009 Aww, I like Suralan! I think he fired Alan because he liked him - the way he was talking about the other two - and he had a twinkle in his eye when he did it. I'm sure Alan Carr didn't mind really. Quote
Janet Posted March 17, 2009 Posted March 17, 2009 One 'Apprentice' pulls out before show even begins! List of 2009 candidates Quote
