Cons: Probably sees that as an achievement and will ergo be insufferable Sugar will be comically tough on her for supposedly knowing what she's talking about Joseph Valente  Age: 25 Pros: Look at him! Cons: Look at him! Mergim Butaja  Age: 23 Pros: Diversity! Cons: Wants to be a challenge No beauty industry experience Natalie Dean  Age: 25 Pros: Probably comically arrogant Cons: Supports Sheffield Wednesday Richard Woods  Age: 31 Pros: Biggest jaw in the UK His name is Dick Wood or Wood, Dick Cons: Yet another "digital marketing" empty suit Ruth Whiteley  Age: 47 Pros: Easy early exit bet Cons: As a woman over 30, will likely be forced into project managing task 1, will likely go home week 1. Sam Curry  Age: 23 Pros: Seems competent at life Cons: That's the road to insanity on this show buddy Scott Saunders  Age: 27 Pros: Sales sales sales sales Cons: Sales sales sales sales Thinks he's unique Selina Waterman-Smith  Age: 31 Pros: Has founded a company Cons: Yet she is here, so..

According to the BBC, Dan Callaghan worked for and MEP, not as one. Which makes him slightly less of a twat.

yay! I just posted about this in the UK TV thread without bothering to check if anyone had started a thread. Why do they always look so ANGRY, why is business=ANGER and sharks and nasty animals. Judging purely on the pictures and what the OP says, I am going to back Jenny and Charlene (liable to change at any point), with the comedy outlier support going to Ruth, who reminds me a lot of my late Aunt. And how is this guy 23. He looks like a French pop singer from the Eighties. I'm not even joking. (edit-being French this video has bums and boobs galore so may not be work safe) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HwsNZHRycw0 goddamn I love mid-Eighties French Pop. edit- oh and Romesh Ranganathan is joining 'You're Fired'...took me a while to warm to his style of humour but I think he'll be good on it.

He looks so sad, like a kicked puppy. Suppose I should link the bingo card, mainly so I can find it in future. Any changes needed/suggested to it? Here's the list it pulls from. Nettle Soup fucked around with this message at 16:13 on Oct 14, 2015 |

PREDICTION TIME Charleine looks tough and should give the others a run for their money. Might have a good shot if her business idea isn't disgracefully poo poo.

Gonna throw my vote in for Ella and her wonky eyes. I have not watched any of the pre-show stuff and I've ignored the trailers, this is entirely due to me throwing darts at the op. Woo go Ella.
