Camilla is going out with someone my girlfriend knows so I knew she was 22 but she still doesn't look it at all, I'd have put her in her late 20s I think. They also never make a big point of her being young like they do with other people.

Khablam posted:Literally the worst reward yet. "You've been big shots on the small screen, so you're going to unwind in front of the big screen now, so I've arranged an exclusive screening." Is this portable cinema experience the business plan of a previous candidate?  They're on folding chairs to watch a movie and listen on headphones. The screen showed "Little Shop of Horrors" but it didn't look like the 1986 movie  It would have been better if he'd said, "Neither team did well and you only won by $130 so your reward will reflect my lack of enthusiasm for your efforts". Rondette posted:Yeah genuinely surprised about that. I guess she is trying to look older? Tom was dull as dishwater. The problem this week wasn't that Jackie pushed Tom to be project leader, it was that Tom then decided he would be a tv presenter. At this point I woulon't be completey shocked if Sugar pulled off his mask and it was Ali G. Jasmine was criticized for being too corporate. Kayode was fired for not being corporate enough. Mumpreneur Khadija is too aggressive, puts people off, isn't good at selling - so she stays. Jackie was fired for being a semi-oak tree.  "Jackie, I don't like people who shove people into other positions" How can he say it with a straight face when THAT'S THE BASIC PREMISE OF THIS ENTIRE SERIES AND EVERY CRAZY TASK GIVEN TO THE CANDIDATES

They were watching the original 1960 (non-musical) Little Shop of Horrors which happens to have fallen out of copyright and therefore is free to show, just in case you couldn’t work out that this was the cheapest possible reward.

The Nomad Cinema lists Trading Places in their lineup of films, at least that has a business theme. http://www.whereisthenomad.com/#features IMO this pop-up business must have some tie-in to the show; either a former candidate is involved, or maybe the owner applied to be on the Apprentice. \/ Weird experience indeed. Thematically, Little Shop of Horrors would have made slightly more sense as a reward for the gardening challenge. Binary Logic fucked around with this message at 14:57 on Dec 2, 2018 |

I'm willing to bet that a lot of people don't even know there is an "original" little shop of horrors, so it was probably a weird experience for them all.

To be honest I don’t really care about how cheap the rewards are. They’re just holdovers from the US show which had more of a Trumpian “live the life of a billionaire!” theme. I’m not keen on armchair director-generals in the Daily Mail who rage about the BBC spending money on whatever they disapprove of, but if they really splashed out on luxuries for a bunch of the biggest pricks on TV for the purposes of a pretty superfluous 30 second bit on their show I wouldn’t be pleased.

Just give them a fair weeks wage regardless of the result, and a bonus if they win. The fired contestant gets a redundancy package too.

Favourite part of this bizarro land episode: after suffering through the legally mandated no-makeup morning, all the girls reacted by then wearing the rest of the makeup they'd brought with them for the first day. Also Daniel proudly describing their pitch: "We went in, and then did our dance"

I love how they weren't even criticised for the terrible acting and dancing. Which makes sense, if Lurdsugah lays it on for the teams then they can't complain that it's totally inappropriate for a business pitch...

As I said earlier, Little Shop of Horrors might have made thematic sense as reward for the gardening challenge. But it's so random to show that particular old movie to a group of people in the midst of striving for a business relationship. Also the timing struck me this week: they're in the boardroom, then go to the reward, and are back in the house in time for the survivors of the losing team to arrive. There wouldn't really be enough time to watch an entire movie ?! And my takeaway from this week: Karen has a tough time comprehending human emotion. "Are you okay? There is moisture seeping out of your image receptor orbs perhaps you are undergoing a malfunction"

The one in the blue was really acting up for the cameras and it was doing my head in. I like how it looks like she is desperate to steal a hug and the other one cries when she finally succeeds. I don't even know their names, I'm always knackered when I watch this and I mean I just don't care :/

Yeah but the other team's Renoir Chocolat or whatever it was called was totally generic and forgettable. I thought both teams would end up with no orders.

Now that you mention it: in the previous week's boardroom Khadija, (the one in the blue) was criticized for being too cold, too bossy and she rebutted that she's usually perceived as warm and friendly. So that's a great observation, she's probably working at being seen that way. Of course it helps that they won the task.

Since when can they make up complete bullshit in the pitches? A huge marketing push? I mean I guess everyone involved knows this is a fake offer for a fake product on a tv show, but still.

This season has felt generally more fake than before, like when they're being horrible to each other in the boardroom but the show shows us them saying "Good luck" as they leave, which is what happened on the last one. Really weird. Still looking forward to the interviews though. I maintain that Sian and maybe Daniel are the ones that'll get through although Sabrina seems a candidate for that too. It's more because they seem more "normal" and not just there for good TV.

We've heard so much about loving nut milk that I'll be shocked if Camilla doesn't somehow make it to the final. Sugar is utterly obsessed. Do we know much about the other business plans? Sabrina is sporty somehow, a personal trainer business? She's escaped a lot of bad situations, I think she's a contender, if it can be called that when it's just Sugar hankering for his favourite new friend. e: Daniel's going to do a Solomon and fall apart at the interviews. Sian's too competent, probably fired next week. Who else is there? Oh Khadija, I like her. Ideally her and Sabrina in the final but, cocking nut milk. eating only apples fucked around with this message at 23:13 on Dec 7, 2018 |

I'd like to paraphrase Marvin the android from HHGTTG now: Here I am brain the size of a planet and they've got me looking like a bit player on Coronation Street to watch these clowns try to make chocolates. Call that job satisfaction? Cuz I don't.
