Laura007 Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 Is it me, or are all the contestants a bunch of fools??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 well, blind ambition and greed are not qualities I admire in people so I think they have very few redeeming qualities (if any). However I do find the programme entertaining. I'm worried about next week's episode because they're in Marakesh and they're buying a live chicken in the market and asking for it to be kosher! (I won't elaborate as I think most people know what that implies) In the ad there was this pretty little white chicken just lying on the scales while it was being weighed.

Cinnamon Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 I think its been really good so far. Lots of very attractive men in it this year too I really like Raef, & told my daughter i thought he was quite fanciable, & she said 'Mum how could you, he looks like a Bowl' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tina C Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 They certainly all have over-inflated egos. They are probably all pretty capable - but mostly young and with not as much experience as they like to make out I wouldn't want to participate in some of the tasks they have - in such a short time frame they don't do so bad really. And its great TV. I am really looking forward to next week (apart from the chicken) as haggling is great to watch (I am useless at it, OH is brilliant, which is why he is in sales and I am not).

Laura007 Posted May 1, 2008 Author Share Posted May 1, 2008 A bowl ????? i was curious about that aswell! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ain't Nobody Here Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 Is it me, or are all the contestants a bunch of fools??? No, it's me too . It makes me laugh when you see their job descriptions - makes me think of the title of our school janitor ... "SSO" which I think stands for School Services Officer or somesuch nonsense I was glad to see Kevin go - "I had my first house at 22, my second house at 24 and my first Porche at 25". Pompous little brat . And Jenny's idea about the Save the Planet cards . We were all shouting at the TV what a rubbish idea that was . She should have been fired.

ubereglu Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 And Jenny's idea about the Save the Planet cards . We were all shouting at the TV what a rubbish idea that was . She should have been fired. It contradicted itself in terms rather didn't it. After all what was going to happen to the card? Never mind... Jenny really should have been fired, but the team leader was an idiot because if he'd bought her in to the boardroom then she would have been fired and he would have saved his skin. I do feel sorry for Sara though as she was giving ideas and Jenny was practically on her pedistall and wasn't going to let anyone have any other ideas. Mind you, did you see the evil look Jenny gave to one of the contestants when they suggested Kevin would get fired? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KateP Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 If their previous jobs were as wonderful as their job titles suggest then surely they wouldn't need to be on this programme in the first place? I do find it very entertaining though. Raef is my favourite at the moment - especially as he defended Saira when the others were being horrible to her.

Cinnamon Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 If their previous jobs were as wonderful as their job titles suggest then surely they wouldn't need to be on this programme in the first place? Its all down to the publicity though,isn't it? Its no different from Big brother when you think about it - all just looking for their 5mins of fame Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 A bowl ????? i was curious about that aswell! perhaps it's something to do with his unique choice of hairstyle I did admire him for defending Sara (sp?) when they all laid into her, that was a disgraceful display of bullying.

Cinnamon Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 I don't get the bowl thing either, but Cleo is adamant I think he looks like Jimmy Carr myself. He is a gent,isn't he. Raef is certainly my guy to win & has been from the start. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bronze Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 I was glad to see Kevin go - "I had my first house at 22, my second house at 24 and my first Porche at 25". Pompous little brat .

theherd123 Posted May 3, 2008 Share Posted May 3, 2008 I have never watched this programme and struggle to see its appeal Alan Sugar is one very rude and arrogant man and i dont think he comes across well at all - doesnt he irritate you? I know it is probably all hammed up for the TV but this fella is on a constant power trip Am i right in thinking there are a group of people who actually want to work for this chap? Are they mad?

Ain't Nobody Here Posted May 3, 2008 Share Posted May 3, 2008 If you think Alan Sugar's rude and arrogant, you really should watch The Apprentice. Some of the contestants make him seem like a fluffy little kitten . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 3, 2008 Share Posted May 3, 2008 Alan Sugar is one very rude and arrogant man and i dont think he comes across well at all - doesnt he irritate you? I really like him, he's direct but (IMO) doesn't come across as arrogant or rude. I love the way he can see through the nonsense some of them come out with and cuts some of the big heads down to size. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ain't Nobody Here Posted May 3, 2008 Share Posted May 3, 2008 He does come out with some fantastic one-liners . I really like him and you have to admit, he is pretty successful - all thanks to his own hard graft. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
