The Apprentice 2006

[Seren]

Will anyone be watching this ? It starts this week, we loved it last year :clapping:

[Ravenfire]

Yes I saw bits and bobs of the last one but DH loved it and watched it all.

[Daffs]

ooh it was fab! Do you know what day it is on?

[trai]

It's on Wednesday at 9pm BBC2.

We got hooked on this last year.

[blueberry]

I've never missed this show since season one when Bill Rancic became The Apprentice! I love this show, it gives me tips on how to handle a job interview :laugh: . Currently we are being shown season four which was won by Randall.

[lisa1980]

i watched the last one and will be watching this one too :D

[Jess85]

I loved it last year too :) my nan reminded me it was on but realised at 10pm when it was too late... disappointed they aren't showing repeats on a Sat like they did last year... or are they?? :)

[trai]

Is anyone watching it? I'm completely hooked and i hope Ruth or ansell win. I can't stand syed or paul.
Syed is a bull s$*^%$R and don't get me started on smarmy paul.

[stokey]

absoutely brilliant programme. Sir Alan is a cutey, love him to bits !!! Sayed is a w#n#er but class entertainment value.

[trai]

Yeah syed is definitely good telly this series would have been boring without him

[funkydorydawn]

I love this programme.

I hated Ruth before but now I really want her to win- can that girl sell or what!

I hate Paul and I find Syed laughable to be honest.

Can't wait for the next episode!

I SO wish i had seen this series from the beginning !!

Tuned in when they were selling something to do with the airlines and had NO idea what it was LOL, thought it was sposed to be some kind of weird comedy!! but then ever since the car selling one I have been HOOKED !!! Its FAB !!

So think Ruth should win, she is ACE !!!

[Trinity]

Never watched the first series but loving this one! Sayed is just pure car crash TV, it would have been dull without him. He isn't going to win but boy has he earned his place as a total tosser!

Ruth is a fab salesperson but I think she does edge of the cockiness and I think Ansell is the real dark horse here and could just pull ahead in the final straight!

:iagree:

[Seren]

I would like to see Ruth win too

[lilach]

:clapping: What fabulous TV, I only started watching it about 3 weeks ago unfortunately and am totally hooked! I think Ruth will win or possibly Ansell. It gets better every week!

[Trinity]

I am really impressed with Sir Alan and what he has acheived, although the opening speech at the begining of the programme just makes you sick doesn't it? £800,000,000,000!! His Rolls Royce is more expensive than some people's houses!

He doesn't take any payment for The Apprentice as his fee (like his advert) goes to Great Ormond Street. I know he gets "free" publicity but when you think of the Z-list celebs that go on the jungle thingy and love island and start throwing all their toys out of the pram as they want more money, it makes them look greedy!

I do hope Ansell wins as he is the only one who hasn't annoyed despite the fact he does wear a rather odd looking pair of specs! :smiley-fa

[stokey]

SAYID'S GONE !!!!


he was a bit of a to##er but brilliant to watch, who do you think will win?

i think the fat bloke will win, (forgotten his name) or maybe the stamp licker .

[Seren]

thought Ruth might go at first, Sayed made it really entertaining, I don't think Ruth will win now, maybe Ansell or Michelle I think the final 2 will be Ruth and Ansell tho

[trai]

I can't stand that Paul he is a wa*^£er he grates on me like nothing on earth sorry to see syed go as he was good telly. I think Ansell might win it. I just hope that paul gets fired next week.

[Trinity]

Well, well, all girls together to slog it out. I had no idea that Michelle had build herself up from really nothing, way to go girl! Ruth was shocked when Sir Alan said that Michelle could stay, her face was a picture. I was gutted that Ansell went as I really, really liked him. Paul was just lucky that he had never been in the boardroom before and I think he always stuck close to the Project Manager so that he wouldn't get chosen. He was in the final four by pure chance and I reckon if he had come face to face with SAS earlier on, he may not have made it. He was a bit of a cheeky chappie, nice guy but he was a bit too much me, me, me.

And as for Ruth, God is she full of herself or what. It's all "I", "I", "I" with her, fair enough her skills may have helped her company through a bad patch but she would have needed good team members on her side. The way she went on, you would think she done the whole thing single handed! I really hope she doesn't win as it will wipe that smirk of her face as I think she thinks she has it in the bag but she is way too cocky for my liking. He cockiness and brashness would put me off buying anything from her.

I would like to see Michelle win! Go Girl!

[Seren]

i think Michelle is a tough cookie, would have preferred Ansell to win, but SAS did say he would keep in touch with him, so you never know

[stokey]

:iagree: it sounds like she's had a tough life, and has worked herself up from checkout girl to where she is now with no help , she also supports her family (brothers) so i think she deserves to win . the confidence (cockiness) on the others is unbelievable, i always wanted to be more confident but if it meant turning out like them i'd rather be shy anyday!!!

[Jess85]

I am sad to say that I missed this weeks and last weeks Apprentice I was upset to miss Syed getting fired! I wanted Ansell to win but now I want Michelle to win as I can't stand Ruth!

[trai]

So glad that Paul went first but sad that Ansell went. I think Michelle will win now as i think that Alan sugar see's how hard she has worked in her life and she is more personable than Ruth. I think Ruth puts his back up and i just don't see him wanting to work with her.
Michelle to win

[Daffs]

Oh well, am I alone then in hoping the Badger wins? I really don't like Michelle. All credit to her for getting through those interview and coming up smelling of bland roses, but I just don't like her. I can't put my finger on it. I have liked Ruth from the start and will her to win.

Daffs, I am kind of in agreement with you re Michelle, I think she has done very well to get where she is but yes, there is something about her. She comes across as quite hard and she doesn't really have much buzz about her, iykwim. Michelle annoyed me with the Top Shop challenge when she was PM and she spent most of her time in the VIP and got one sale of £30.


I don't think I have ever seen her smile or laugh but I can't stand Ruth, she is so up her own backside it is unbelievable! However, I have no doubt that the loser will be offered a fantastic job somewhere else because they both know their stuff and can work hard.

[Tanya]

I'd like to see Michelle win as Ruth gets on my nerves. She is like a bull in a china shop and she lacks in good manners which really annoys me

I missed that one! 20061008 I can't wait for next week.

I watched the 'You're Fired' program this week too (first time) and that was quite interesting. Ansell came across as a real genuine dude and Paul, a bit of a twonk really.. I wish I had watched more of those shows.

I was surprised she didn't knock on the interviewer's door myself. Hmm. I'd still like her to win though.

[funkydorydawn]

Until last week I thought Michelle was just there to make up the numbers :cheesy:

I used to hate Ruth but now I really really want her to win - I know she's brash and loud, but if I ran a company I would hire her immediately. I just think her large personality may put SAS off.

Michelle - she seems very non-descript so I just don't know - maybe she'll pip it at the post, like the winner of Masterchef did :fryingpan: .

[Trinity]

Well, can't wait to see the final tonight. I just wonder who will win!

Has SAS already chosen the winner or will it be announced live tonight? It's just that the 2 girls were on GMTV this morning and from what they were saying, it hadn't been decided. They said that they hadn't slept a wink and had been texting each other but as far as I know it was all filmed in October.

I didn't see last year's Apprentice so don't know what happened there.

[Seren]

SAS was on BBC this morning and I'm sure he said the winner had been decided, but he didn't give it away.

I'm not sure who I want to win, glad it's an all female final. Should be really interesting....

[vikki]

it wasn't ruth ......... shame

[Ravenfire]

Im glad Michelle one as I think she is the best one for the job. Ruth was good but too cocky I think and I also think that Alan Sugar likes and respects Michelle because she has come from nothing and worked her way up like he did.

[Seren]

I'm just really glad it was an all female final. I think Michelle had the edgae as she came across as softer and more feminine, which did appeal to SAS as well as the fact that she was a grafter etc. On the programme afterwards I noticed she had glammed up, hair blonder etc. I wonder if she had changed the colour of her hair before hand to be taken more seriously???


Great final :clapping:

[Lemon]

I liked both of them, and like SAS said they were very different. I think he may have chose Michelle because she was more moldable, I think Ruth was probably so sure of herself and maybe wouldn't do things 'his way' so much.

Michelle looked gorgeous last night, well they both looked lovely. Ruth was great and had a huge personality. Can't wait for the next one now !

[Seren]

has every seen the news on this?

Michelle had a fling with sayed during the filming and is pregnant with his baby!

[Furbee]

i kno!!!!! SCANDAL!!!!!

[Netty]

Really??? can she give herself lots of maternity leave?

[Seren]

do you think Sir Alan is now wishing that he picked Ruth instead! Still she may have had a fling with one of the lads..........



Its funny cos looking back, I can now see that there was a spark between sayed and Michelle

[Furbee]

yeah. was almost a case of them being overly nasty to each other to compensate for the fact that they were doing the deed.
