The Apprentice tonight - photography challenge

bovril

Never seen the show before myself but seems they have to set up a Photography business tonight. Might be worth a gander.

BBC1 9pm - 16th April.

Princess Consuela Bananahammock

They did an photogrphy assignment year before last - they were given a list of artists and had to run an exhibition. Sugar slated their choices of photographs. ("it's just five pictuees of lips! How you gonna sell that?!")

Interesting episode.

What a bunch of muppets. Brilliant business ideas, but terrible performance. Any of us would have done better. Not because of photography, but more common sense.

Try a few test runs, before getting customers. They didn't even know what they were doing.

What a shame.

Cabaal

Obviously not one of them knows how to use a computer, the lookalike idea was by far the best but they had some cheek printing it off on standard A4 paper..wtf like

Looked like they were using 400d's

Yeah 400Ds alright I think. £15.99 for one of those A4 prints as well!!

Ah it was classic Apprentice tonight, really great one. Shame about the result though, Claire should have gone. It was hilarious to hear Simon say he knew about photography that "I know about shutter speed, how to set up a tripod and about single reflex lenses" hehe! Pity it didn't help him much when he was shooting the "orange people". Did you see that shot of the woman in purple lol, it was really funny in fairness.

don't forget the classic line "my friend is a photographer....I know about this stuff"...ah by that logic I'm a solicitor and a electrician

love this show...

tonight's show featured a great idea poorly executed, it's exquisitely enjoyable watching all the back-stabbing tough. that clare wan, jaysus!

Borderfox

Class stuff, what a carry on during the shoot. I thought they would have had the printer beside where they were shooting, my time from shot to sale is about 20minutes tops. Even less if I got one of those wireless jobbies for the 1d I thought Clare should have gone but he was right that Simon was out of his depth, IQ of 170 me ar*e

CamperMan

idiots, these teams are supposed to have brains, one team lost money and the other team made over £100, sorry, but I would expect a team of 7 with everything in place, equipment etc to make much more than that, jokers the lot of them...

I loved that, so cocky, did you see Alan Sugars board member Margaret roll her eyes when he was bluffing about cameras.

That was classic alright!!

Cabaal

That one on the look-a-like team who was in charge of the computer was a ejit, she kept going on and on about how she can't even use the camera on her phone, I thought the IT Techs comment on his kids being able to use the PC was funny

I feel so much better in my abilities after watching this last night.
These are supposed to be high flyers. Where was the planning. They even had training and botched it. Who the hell in business now days cant use a pc.


Sack them all.

TelePaul

The show has evolved past its original remit - now it's just about putting a group of people in an unlikely situation and watching them struggle. Who can't transfer photos from a CF card to a PC? I mean the PC tells you what to do.

That woman should not have been in the back room at all - she even said she can't even use a camera phone! I wish they had lost so Alan could have sacked the team lead for putting here in there in the first place.

I know! It was def the Project Manager's fault. It's amazing that people can be that incompetent and still survive the firing finger! Her time will come

What I find interesting about this programme and others like it is the amount of bullsh1t people think that can get away with......and do! Very reminiscent of our modern nation me thinks......

Nice. I'd say something but I'd risk another infraction. But I can say it on MSN...
