The Apprentice

So what did you think?

I thought he was the right one to go. I don't think he did himself any favours by saying he was educated.
Also, where was his closing argument? As a barrister I was expecting this really good argument as to why he should stay.

Can't wait for next week

Loved it. I was hoping Raef wouldn't go as I think he's going to be this season's Tre.

They had to sell �600 worth of fish for as much profit as possible. There seemed to be a bit of rivalry between two groups in the boys' camp between the public school educated toffs and the "gritty salesmen".

early days but I kinda liked him. Alex is a bit of a wet blanket and I thought that he crumbled towards the end and lost his 'troops' that had had done so well to control up until the panic at the end. I would have fired him instead!

I would have binned the so called 'team leader' aas far as I could see he couldn't lead a piece of string if he tied it around his wrist and pulled with all his might. That said, it was a close call between him and the eventual departee

Well I thought the barrister was a wet blanket. The oiyks tend to always look down on the working class ones so that was one in the eye for em! Can't wait for the next episode.

best programme on TV, I love it.
You would think they would have watched previous series and learned what its all about, but they all have a know it all arrogance about them, and its not all put on for the camera.
People can be very clever, but have no common sense.
The right man was fired.
I dislike Raef, and want him to go. But I also want him to stay because I think the programme will be more entertaining with him in it.
To be fair to the one who was fired, he came across quite well on the BBC2 after show.
He had the micky taken out of him, but he took it quite well and with good humour.

No way Raef will go. He's this year's Sayeed (sp?) i.e. the arrogant "baddie" that we will all love to hate. As I said last night the barrister was gone as soon as he mentioned that his interests are art and culture and not football...to Alan Sugar. Way to do your research!

I also think that the being project manager is always going to be a poisoned chalice. The rest of the team act like jumped up @rseholes to try and outshine the others and do their level best to show up the PM as weak. THEN they excuse their behaviour by saying that the PM should have controlled them!

What a great start!
I think Sir Alan fired the right one, for a barrister I was expecting a good argument from him.
