Did they have that book with the pictures and wholesale prices in before they got to their pitch? Wouldn't it have made sense to figure out the mark up and prices on the way to the pitch so they'd just have to match them up when they got there.
That market trader who was on about the girls taking their van up the the street after 9:30 was funny. 'I'm going to make an official complaint to you'.
I kept thinking that Lisa Scott Lee had crashed the show. I think it was Claire who sounded a bit like her.

I wouldn't criticise the project managers too much, at least initially. Having watched Charlie Brooker's Screenwipe special about how The Apprentice is filmed, I couldn't imagine many people having complete control over what would be happening. Add to that the personalities who are trying to get prominence by creating as much trouble for others as they can, you are essentially trying to manage seven other people who have no wish to be part of a team dynamic - which is quite foolish really, because working as a proper team with that many people can only be the best way to achieve success at that point of the competition.

I laughed at the market trader complaint moan too, I would have said 'go ahead...' and ran.

Am looking forward to seeing Lee shirtless, although the mockney accent and his early offer to "Put my bollocks on the chopping board" were a bit offputting. Ian also potential.
Did anybody else notice how many of the contestants were blue-eyed? It was rather freaky!

I was quite pleased with my chap Ian. He seemed a bit of a lurker. As long as he barely features in any episode until the final I shall be happy. His face is also rather a grower. He'll be out next week.
de Lacy-Brown is having an art launch on Cork St (and has a facebook group to prove it). Lowculture outing anyone?
'Comprising of two floors and three galleries, the Arndean will lay host to three periods of my work, early, contemporary and a glimpse of the future, and a great number will be for sale along with prints, postcards and a plethora of items pushing the de Lacy-Brown brand out into the London art scene'
There is so much I hate about that paragraph I can't even begin. I'll settle for spluttering incoherently for a bit.

The lighting is bizarre in the boardroom - it makes everyone lips look like the chart for pinks and purples in the Dulux catalogues. And the eyes are so blue they resemble the how-to-tell-an-Aryan page in a 1936 eugenics manual.

I'm contemplating going to the art launch and seducing Racey Lacey. It would be gross, but funny, and that's generally my criterion when deciding who to sleep with.

There was something about Alex that reminded me of Gareth Gates. I don't know if they're from the same area, or if it was just the late 90s hairdo.

I'm bitterly disappointed. Oh it is really disappointing. In the afterglow of last nights show (which was all about lips, hair and vivid clothing for me) I added it. Today it looks cheap and nasty. And where's the fun huh? We can discuss it much better here and in chat.

If you do that I'm definitely coming to watch. The gallery!seduction though not the sex. I haven't the stomach for that. You get extra points if you can get him to wear the aviators throughout.

Bad luck whoever gets Raef.

I would gladly seduce mine, but I don't think he'd be up for it.
If only I knew how to talk to people about football!

Lindi reminds me so much of one of my mates.
She's an African Princess three times removed or something like that thus making her the new Femi Oki.
And what's the point of the poor mans Kristina Grimes? There's no conviction or enough fake tan love! You're fired.

They wouldn't have got the GA reference either. It saddens me that they never got to know Racey Lacey, or sing his wonderful new theme.
Most of the lyrics still apply...PhD with his legs apart

If anyone is bored in work tomorrow and wants to adapt the whole of the song to fit Nicholas, then I might just offer up a suitable prize for the best one.

I wonder if there could be a song for all of them. I was singing raspberry beret through Wednesdays episode in honour of Lucinda.
