    So so staged these days.

    Not a chance in hell would anyone pay for anything they were offering.
    I understand they do it for comedic value but its just getting silly now.

    And sugars summarising is bloody irritating me now.

    the failure of the task was 100% down to the tour, the beer tasting should of been done by the actual owners of the brewery to provide some insight into the beer etc, bearing in mind how strong belgian beer is 5 would probably get me on my way, on a sep note wouldnt mind going to bruge but the thought of belgium repulses me currently.

    Sugar comes across as a tit now days. He referred to himself as a Cockney and East end lad but is from hackney not east end.

    The clichéd working class lad done good routine he wheels out every ten seconds is tired too. He's spent the vast majority of his 70 years as a multi millionaire and very much doubt he's lived in such an environment for nearly 50 years.

    Fair play for doing well from humble beginnings but stop cracking one off over it every other minute on licence payer's time as it really puts me off my fucking humus and rioja.

    Hackney has Post Codes E1,E2,E5,E8...

    What do you define as 'East End'?

    Hackney is east London. East end I would class as tower Hamlets.

    Cockneys born within sound of bow bells of St Mary le bow on cheapside.

    Don't let this detract from the valid point he's turned into a bit a tit and "hackneyed" (boom boom) parody of himself lately.

    That being said I remain fond of him.


    EDIT I concede southern parts of Hackney borough are arguably east end but the town itself are nor is the part he came from.

    None of this really matters was just having a good moan on the train this morning.

    Should have been 2 maybe 3 fired last night.

    How could they get the advert setting so wrong?

    Some of the criticism was unjustified.

    What says 'exciting new car' more than a recreation of a medieval Norman style settlement ?

    "Expando" ffs!!!

    On what planet do these people live?

    Elizabeth shooing the chickens away was good.
  • The other concept was pretty rubbish too, back in the 1950 people might have considered a car as an upgrade for a bicycle, but it hardly reflects modern London

    James should have gone, must be a reason why he's still in it.

    Elizabeth explaining why I got the key should he the music was worth the tv licence for the month.

    I would say less noise pollution and more the high rise buildings block the sound waves from travelling as far.

    Bruges is a great place, spent a night there 4 years ago on a corporate trip and was the drunkest I've ever been in my life. Stella on the Eurostar from 9am following by some ridiculously strong lager for the rest of the day left me not knowing where I was...apparently I came back to the hotel around 3am

    Bruges is even nicer if you stay sober enough to see it.

    And can find the hospital, rather than walking around it in a circle!

    That is the problem with the investment format rather than the old job offer prize. You know he's seen the business plans so he's keeping people in who he thinks have the more attractive investment plans. Unless they're such a nightmare he just can't imagine working with them. The performance in each task is secondary to the business plan, which none of us have seen yet. I thought the one who got fired this eeek was the least culpable of the four kept in the boardroom but he got fired.

    Worst group of candidates ever though, another week where both teams were bloody awful, just one was slightly less awful.
  • Oh, and the scene where they were interviewing James with the mock up of a hanging in the background. Genius setup by the DOP.

    We'll see, photo booth sides was awful but I wouldn'tbe surprised if James' idea is even worse!

    Me too, can’t see anyone else getting near it.

    which one is Sarah ?

    I think the female project manager from 1st task will win
  • This series has lacked some really good performances, the team that creates a brilliant campaign or does a great job on the buying task. Remember the body rokka, which actually went into production?
  • Got to be losing a whole team next week?
  • Who - the hell - is the blonde woman? She's managed to stay in it so far, but I have literally not seen her contribute to a single task. She just appears the next day, like some ghost that haunts Alan Sugar's boardroom.

    She did very well selling during the football stadium hospitality task but I agree pretty anonymous otherwise.
