The Apprentice, 2015 (no spoilers please)

Painful last night.

Who is paying £2000 for their kid and 9 friends to have a tug of war in a leisure centre!?

all of us.....

May contain nuts? Seriously? How thick are these people?

The one sacked this week was different to the usual dunces and pantomime villain characters the show puts up. She seemed a genuinely pretty nasty, spiteful individual

The one person out of the lot of them who I rate is Richard, but he is a smug tosser.

Can't see past Richard or Vana to win it.

I like Richard. Convinced he'll be in the final

I agree.

He still makes me think of 'David Brent' though every time I see him.

i like joseph, always tries hard but agree he doesn't have a way with words, but has is own business, would be interesting to see where he got his money from to start that.

Yeah, I think it will be Vana. Joseph had a chance but he was poor this week.

It will all come down to the business plan. You could be the best of the bunch but if you're idea sucks you have no chance.

Glad she went last night, could easily have been fired in any one of the previous 6 weeks. She was a real piece of work. Her character was better suited to Doctor's receptionist than business leader. Spoke volumes that she wouldn't come on the You're Fired show afterwards. Cowardly bitch.

I was under the impression she wasn't welcome having spoken to the press before being booted out, which is a big no-no. Indeed, what she had to say about the show's editing is directly related to your attitude towards her. I am quite sure that many of the entrants come away realising how contrived the whole thing is, but very few break the contract and talk about it.

I've heard the editing of The Apprentice described as clever, but I don't think it is, at least not when you know what to look for. The editors find a statement, find a couple of completely unrelated reaction shots and stitch together in a quick back-and-forth, sometimes with the right bit of music and hey presto, you have yourself a structured sequence that paints a character, where originally, nothing actually happened.

In her case, it was pretty obvious with the hard cuts after she finished speaking that the producers were willing to be pretty harsh on her and create a villain (although I wouldn't go so far as to say she was entirely innocent of that charge, she was perhaps an easy target in the edit).

I'd like to hear her side of events!

I'm sure some of that goes on, the window issue I joked about as well also looked a bit staged to be honest, but in her case they didn't edit the actual words coming out her mouth and the massive sour look on her face every time she said them. Or the fact that pretty much all the other candidates were quite happy to say they couldn't stand her, so I think in this instance I'm inclined to believe she is not a particularly nice person, even if the show may have exaggerated it. She showed herself not to be above lying or manipulating situations in the show so I wouldn't say I would automatically believe her account that the producers totally shafted her in the edit.

Id still give her one though.

She's given her side on a YouTube video on her Twitter. She basically says that the production company released stories to the press about her, such as she was sexually assaulted which at the time was anonymous and she is currently sueing them so naturally couldn't then appear on you're fired.

She also says that on the birthday task where it was shown they didn't buy her party bags, they actually did but it was edited to make it appear otherwise.

Anyway, all a bit bitchy throughout the series, but personally I quite liked Selina and can't stand that Charlene woman,

I like Charlene. Norven girl done good.

Also quite fit
