Cinnamon Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 Started last night with a great episode and a total twonk getting fired I am looking forward to it again tonight,and am liking the twinkly Irish guy for the prize! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chickvic Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 I think the guys are better than the girls so far, I found the leader of the girls (can't remember names yet ) a bit smug. I just didn't take to her at all! Although I may change my mind! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craftyhunnypie Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 Cinnamon - good choice of words (twonk), you don't hear it often! Well we recorded it meaning to watch it in bed last night, but we fell asleep. Only got up to them trying to buy over ripe tomatoes. A few annoyingly cocky characters there. I think the scouser will do well in my opinion. But I haven't seen the episode yet. All that may change. Had to laugh about the tomato soup & orange juice. If you don't like either then tough! Mobile phone application invention tonight. Hmm what would you invent? Something useful, that you can't look up on the internet. Hmm, hows about a fox detector for our girls? No seriously what app would you come up with? Emma.x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chucky Mama Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 Was just going to post to see who else was watching The're a rum bunch aren't they. Both team leaders last night were awful. The guy that thinks he is drop dead gorgeous is going to be great value. I always feel so let down by the women- makes me ashamed to be female The power dressing and ridiculous heels makes me laugh.

craftyhunnypie Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 Why do people power dress? It's so daft! Oh & killer heels - do they realise the damage to their feet? Bunions etc. Going to work in crocs has its benefits! ( our own business) Emma.x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gongladosh Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 I think they all deserve a slap. I'd never employ anyone that is 'all work, no play' or 'live to work' -I'd much rather employ a rounded, worldly-wise individual... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ain't Nobody Here Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 They are all sooooo annoying . Apart from Souperman - I like him . Vincent Smarmypants is just vile . Edna is so patronising . I was really hoping she would be in the boardroom . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sadietoo Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 Here's my two penneth Boys: Jim is certainly a force to be reckoned with... liking Tom the inventor, and Leon, don't like (Gavin?) the scouser, don't like Glenn particularly either..... Girls: Didn't take to Melody at all last night...irritating accent and what does Desmond Tutu or the Dalai Lama have to do with the greed that motivates most real business people? but I have to say I thought she was very good tonight. I quite like Susan, but think she is too young to go too far. Really didn't take to Edna...but that's HR for you....ruthless! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craftyhunnypie Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 I like Susan - think she will go far. Also like the scouser & the other one in the boardroom that didn't go. The one that went, I really did not like. Hmm Jim is a sweet talker - can talk his way out of the boardroom! I am a bit interested in the inventor - no doubt his inventing will be tested later on in some new product development. The guy who loves himself I think is actually quite shy. He wasn't good at pitching. Money is on Susan & the Scouse at the moment. We also like the Yorkshire lass. Emma.x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin B Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 Is it me or were those two apps completly rubbish last night? How did they not think that people would not understand the local dialect and accent etc if they lived in Dubai, Australia, Canada etc. Martin..

Seagazer Posted May 13, 2011 Share Posted May 13, 2011 We thought Jim pulled off a master stroke last night (well the 2nd episode ). Poor Leon, that just didn't look good on his part. I do quite like him though. Didn't care whether Alex went or not really as he'd not done much. I don't really like any of the girls at the moment - the only ones that I know are Melody (too full of herself), Edna (way too bossy) and Susan (too dithery sp?). No idea what the names of the others are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

craftyhunnypie Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 Have recorded this for later. This will be funny. I like this sort of treasure hunt tasks. Do you remember Chris from last year buying the Tartan? Emma.x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin B Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 Anybody fancy a cup of chamomile tea? Small cup only £9.99 Martin Don't Twinings sell it at £2.50 a box? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olly Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 A great episode - can't research the products, no idea of what things are worth, and no negotiating skills - great tv though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ain't Nobody Here Posted May 19, 2011 Share Posted May 19, 2011 My favourite "shout at the tv" moment was that girl who said "my uber top price is £20" then almost immediately proceeded to pay £80 (I think it was £80?). Then she blamed the "gorgeous" Vincent for not letting her negotiate the price down . The penny off the top hat was another . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craftyhunnypie Posted May 19, 2011 Share Posted May 19, 2011 How come these lot don't ever run to Tescos etc & buy the cheapo makes from there & re package? That might make a good profit. Tea - are they thick or what? Oh & why did they not scour the second hand vintage shops for a top hat - or even a hire place? Business people - I don't think so!

Willow Posted May 20, 2011 Share Posted May 20, 2011 I just watched the 1st one on iplayer. Hysterical the bbc2 followup with Dara was laugh out loud funny. Twonk is genius description. I'd stopped watching several series ago but it's now gone so far into panto it's watchable again Are Melodies eyebrows tatooed on do you think ?

sadietoo Posted May 20, 2011 Share Posted May 20, 2011 Are Melodies eyebrows tatooed on do you think ? That's a possibility I hadn't considered so I had to Google...You have a point I feel. Jim is just a Ninja, and he's absolutely my favourite to win. Off topic slightly but my OH mentioned that it's the accent that helps you warm to him, and I agree, he felt that if Jim was Geordie, we'd feel the same way..and again I agree. Why is it that some regional accents do seem to be more "friendly" for want of a better word? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ziggy Posted May 21, 2011 Share Posted May 21, 2011 I really don't like Vincent... he is creepy... One thing puzzles me... is there some rule or something that says they can't google things or use the internet in their chasing of products? Surely the first thing a person would do, to find out what anything is in a list of product, is google it ? They only work with phones and phone books, have I missed something and is that a strange rule I didn't hear? I haven't got any favourites yet... though soup man seems one of the nicest personalities to me... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seagazer Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 I don't think they're allowed to use the internet or smart phones. Is there really such a lack of basic general knowledge amongst people now? I sit shaking my head at a lot of the show. It does make me laugh though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chucky Mama Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 OMG last night was genius with the double firing. I had no idea and I actually screamed when he did it How awful was that cat food tag line I don't know how Glen got away with it this week he was truly awful. Saw a rather unpleasant side of Jim though. It just shows that that 'Irish charm' hides a darker side. Can Edna smile? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
