Pissflaps posted:Also all the same old unwritten rules: you must have two teams, you can't use the internet, you cant use the fact that you're on the apprentice within your task. Literally the only users of the Yellow pages since 2006, it's irritating as hell. Yes, they're driving all over London on highly unoptimized routes because no-one worth a poo poo has an advert in the yellow pages and you have to run at what you can find; this is your decision yet you will blame the contestants for "not planning". It's 2014 now and if they don't have some means for people to do a logical directory search instead of wondering back streets asking people if they know where top hats are sold, then that's very poor form.

Haggis Heed posted:Would people honestly rather see someone using Google maps to specifically pin point the business/place they are looking for, than seeing 6 men run around back alleys with a bucket full of sponges, like in Tuesday's episode? If they cut out the silly headless-chicken running about act, they would have more businesses to try to sell some yellow dusters to for £250, which is better TV. More reactions shots to "Our message is, privacy is dead".

If I watch it with other people I can generally laugh about it. If I am watching alone, there's more and more points where I have to put my head in my hands and try to seek some comfort in it.

It's struggling a bit with the extra people, there have been a few who haven't even been name-checked in the episode. Here was a nice 'whatshisorhername does nothing in the background whilst the main personalities clash' shot that got a little closer to the absurd than usual.

The editing in this series is weird as hell. I watched it with three other people, and all four of us genuinely didn't recognize Pamela as a contestant at all, which is bizarre after week one. Then the camera finds her every 5 seconds for a go-to reaction shot of something, all episode. Maybe she does something next week that's of some importance and needed us to know who she is.  Is "That's not my [arbitrarily defined and highly specific] area" a bingo space already? Because god drat are they leaning on it hard this season as an excuse. Some great ones this season: "Yes, I produce videos, but I don't upload them" "Nuren I thought you would be good at selling because your business is as a market stall owner, and this was selling off a market stall" "Yes but that's in Peterborough, this is in London" There's a couple more that slip my mind.

Sure editing can achieve a lot, and if you try to be objective you can see the show runners essentially create the narrative completely in editing, but if you point a camera at someone doing a pitch and they're all over the place, that's a pretty reasonable representation of what happened. Unless the room was on fire or something and they just cut around it, then there's not much explanation as to why Apprentice candidates feel a pitch is 5% facts you cribbed in the car, 5% buzzwords you can remember from CISCO adverts, and

Junkenstein posted:Bit of a strange task, since all that mattered was the price they decided on and how many tickets they sold. All that effort that one woman put into her tour guide skills meant poo poo, whilst the other team could get away with all that cringe-worthy singing on the bus patronising crap. What annoys me, is that in similar tasks they take this into account. These tasks definitely need lrdsugar to pick a subjective winner based on quality of service and costs.

"Anatomical" presumably means "anatomically correct" which a skeleton with flat bones and an angular skull isn't.

The show needs an "all stars" series so we can see Mark and Jedi Jim trying to outsell one another. I'm not sure even Jim could bag a £50 diamond, though.
