    Apprentice, week 2

    Now I can see anyone in a normal job being keen to enter, if only to be on TV. But the Rocky guy who went out, sounds to OWN 10+ shops... what kind of entrepreneur gives that up so easily?

      I know they choose people for our entertainment.

      But what a bunch on incompetent idiots.

      I did like the approach of the leader of the women's group, they need a strong leader to slap them into order.

          Watched this for the first time last night - it was so bad it was compulsive. my 9yr old watched this last week in her room and told me how bad they had done then.
          Is this for real?

              The first series was quite good and the people on the whole did seem to have at least an ounce of good business sense, but since then they are picking people purely for entertainment - ruined a good show.

              Anyone remember that pr&t of an army officer trying to cook sausages on a small camp stove to sell at a french market

                The only good thing about it is watching Sugar's two sidekicks....I suspect they are of the same opinion as the rest of us, and they don't exactly hide it!
                Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent. Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent. Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil? Is he neither able nor willing? Then why call him God? - Epicurus

                    It makes me laugh how every task is based on selling the cheapest crap for maximum profit margin, no attempt to deliver a quality product that will generate repeat business.

                    ‘Sirallan’ built his entire business empire on this principle; if Sky offered people a choice of manufacturers when installing a digi box he’d be running a market stall rather than pretending to be Donald Trump.
                    Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave Johnson
