How about Sugar Alan?

Or Sigur Alan?

[TIAL]

I see nothing wrong with plain old 'Alan Sugar'.

[foot-loose]

Sugar Daddy?

[Yudster]

It disturbs me that Chris wants to see him called "Sugar".

[Vivienne]

Future episodes will see the candidates having to create a completely new ice-cream flavour, and also working in Morocco (hopefully not at the same time).

[Vivienne]

For those of you, tial, etc., who can't get enough of "The Apprentice", "The Apprentice Motor Mouths" will be on at 9 p.m., BBC 2, on Friday, 18th April. This is a series spin-off, which will take a look at some of the more vocal, outrageous characters from the past series. Remember Tre Azam, Katie Hopkins, etc. Should be good.

Last nights Apprentice was really good. I'm looking foward to those tasks you mention Viv. The Ice Cream one sounds interesting!

[Vivienne]

It was, timps. It was excellent. I felt once again the correct decision was made regarding who was fired.

The ice-cream one should be good, as they are almost certain to come up with something totally off-the-wall, like Hedgehog flavour, or something!!

I do wish Lucinda would stop being so nice, however.

[Andy B]

Was that Kaite the one everyone was saying was a real bitch or something then turned down the job in the last week to do something else? I dunno I never watch it.

However for those of you interested in learning about best business practises there is a seminar taking place in London next week where one of the main guest speakers will be imparting her wisdom on the audience.

Ladies and gentleman I give you Caprice!

[Vivienne]

Yes, Katie Hopkins, she pretty much went on the show, just to see if she could get to the final... then she was photographed in a "comprising position" in a cornfield at a later date (!!).

Caprice! OMFG!

[Andy B]

Do you have the photo?

[Vivienne]

Um... I don't actually.. It was during the Summer last year, and it was in one of the Tabloids (no suprises there!).. Maybe The Sun?

[TIAL]

Good episode this week.
I didn't want him Simon to go, but I could totally see why he went, as Claire put up a good fight in the board room - and that's what matters really.

[TIAL]

'him Simon'? whoops... sorry to the word Nazis.

Anyways, I think Alan liked him but couldn't ignore the fact that he had to go.

[SAV1OUR]

Alan Buggar has picked some right nasty back-stabbing little pricks this year aint he! And its good he remembered he aint letting the decent ones stay around, like Simon - all graft and no business acumen. You gotta feel sorry for the bloke but the show is all about twisting the knife and farting in rival's mouth if need be - to stop he/she talking louder and better than you in the boardroom.

Its also about hiding in the bushes, dodging the role of team leader as though your life depended upon it. If you so much as try and be bold and take the reins as team leader you're most likely for the chop cos of all the spintered-arsed fence-sitters who did * during task and dropped you right in the shit.

What a great reality show.

Never watched this, but I heard Alan Sugar in an interview the other week saying that he had no say in picking the contestants. Seems weird to me, but like I said, I don't watch it.

I'm not so sure about the decision to fire Simon, I must say. I felt he was given no support whatsoever by his Team. Still, the Sugar makes the final decision.

I want to see Lucinda put into a position as Team Leader: just to see if there's anything there!!

I love Raefe.

[timp]

Time for my weekly Apprentice post it seems.
Sugy's decision surprised me this week. I thought Claire should have gone and the 'turn around' that Moyles took the piss of this morning also surprised me despite seeing him do that before. As Aled said this morning, it was a 'TV decision'.
Viv the ice-cream episode is next week it seems!

[Vivienne]

I thought Claire should have gone too. Nothing but a gossip.

[TIAL]

I hate Lucinda. She does seem a bit of a waste of space.

She constantly seems like she's about to burst into tears.
Although, I think she came across as a bit useless last night because she'd been put in a position she didn't want or deserve.

[Vivienne]

Hmm.. the thing is though, I want to see what she CAN do. I mean, she was doing daft things in the Laundry, she couldn't take part in the kitchen task because she "had a cold", and this week, she couldn't work a computer very well. Alan S. normally looks for "well-rounded" people who can cope in a variety of situations, so unfortunately, I think it is only a matter of time before she is out on her arse.

[timp]

Good episode as usual.
Right so....I think that Jennifer (the irish one) should have been fired this week and that Lucinda actually did really well!
The girls really forget that they have to go back and live with each other methinks! BItchy!

[Bonanzoid]

Yeah, Jen's a nasty piece of work. Lucinda was fine I though.

Agreed. What a difference in Lucinda this week!! Just goes to show that she is, after all, more of a leader, and not a follower... Unfortunately, she will put back into the position next week of being second place once more! I'd still like to see more steeliness and determination from her, however. Otherwise, she's never gonna make it to that all-important final.

Liked the ice-cream flavours, in particular the "toffee apple" - mmm.

[Vivienne]

I wanted Jen to go too. The original Ice Maiden! According to the after-math show on BBC 2 from 10p.m., Alan S. said he fired her because he felt she was too "full of herself".. personally, I would not have said so.
