Apprentice (IRL) - Season 2 Week 11 Discussion

Chocoholic84

From TV3.ie

It's week eleven and teams Cuchulainn and Platinum are given the ultimate change of creating a 30" radio ad, and a complementary advertorial for Appleby jewellers. Both ads should contain a new creative tagline for the company and will run during the lead up to Christmas.

See the site also for sneak peek!

I'm not as excited about it now though now like Breff and Aoiffe arwe gone

FruttiTutti

I would be prepared to put a good chunk of hard cash on Lucinda getting the boot tonight.

EDIT: This is just my opinion btw!!

Delighted to see the back of Aoiffe, that girl has no respect, for herself especially.

It's not the same without the Breffmeister.

Does anybody know who was invited back to help out on the final task? I'm hoping we'll get to see the Breffmeister in action again in the final week!!

The interview week must be coming up soon as well? Would it be next week? Now that I'm dying to see!

they all usually come back for the final night?

I think the interview week must be next week too, cos the final is the following week

I don't think all of them do? In the english one they definitely didn't anyway, I can't really remember the Irish one last year. I don't know though maybe you're right. It'll be weird seeing the first few that went again!!

Danbo!

I assume tonight is 2 vs. 2, but does anyone know the format of next week and the final? Never watched any of the previous seasons. Ms Conroy Sam was a teacher in my old school so started watching it, and got hooked this season.

next week will likely be individual interviews with some of Bills advisors / business partners.
the week after will see some or all of the previous candidates return and the 2 finalists pikcing teams to complete the final task.
usualy a product launch or event

There were at least 3 or 4 that didn't come back on last years UK Apprentice for the final task. I know some come back, but I don't think all the contestants come back.

I'm almost certain last years most infamous contestant on the Irish one (Joanna) wasn't back for the final task either?

Anyway it doesn't matter, I assume the Breffmeister will be back and it will be some of the lesser lights of the series that won't be!

ginger or gerry gone tonight imo

misread your post as i thought you meant sometimes the final doesnt have any returning losers candidates

I'm sticking with Lucinda!! I am wrong a lot though!

Chocoholic84

It's gotta be Ginger Steve's turn to say bye bye tonight-he's completely pointless in there! He just annoys me now...

Geraldine...I'm starting to get sick of her as well...I think she can be very sneaky...

I'd say it's between English Steve and Lucinda!

EKRIUQ

I'm going with Ginger Steve to get the boot tonight. Looking at the trailer for tonight's show the board room looks like English Steve and Lucinda on one team and Ginger and the Howya on the other side. So I think it's either English Steve or Ginger Steve up for the chop.

I wonder are they going to have an interview stage this year, TV3 are surely not going to loose the revenue with an interview show when then could be making money from a corporate company.

the_barfly1

What are the odds that brightwater recruitment will be involved in the interview stage if there is one?
Considering they make a point of speaking to their "expert" on you're fired every week...

FruttiTutti

I don't know if this is a spoiler or not so I've blocked it out, but the following comments are just based on TV3's adverts for this weeks show:

It looks like ginger steve and geraldine are on the same team, so if they win the task then neither will go, and I have a feeling they might win it, which would mean either Lucinda or Englist Steve getting the boot, I can't see Bill firing Steve as I think his sales skills are excellent so I think Lucinda might get the chop!

There's a fine line between whats a spolier and what isn't here so apologies to anyone who thinks that is!!

ibarelycare

I'm surprised they're not having the interviews this week, there are usually 4 contestants left at the interview stage aren't there?

Sizzler

Lucinda for the high jump tonight, purely because she is not very good at anything and she would have been fired last week only for somehow her crew won the task. If she loses tonight shes gone. Wonder if eircom took her back :eek:

Heroditas

FruttiTutti - I like the logic behind that post of yours. I've been thinking the same.
Also, the ads have been saying a "shock" firing. IMO that means ginger Steve stays - it wouldn't be a shock if he was fired!

funsize

Did I just see a massive spoiler on a TV3 trailer?? What the feck is wrong with them?

Why not just show a clip of the eventual winner and save us the bother of watching it at all?

Feckin eejits - if anyone from TV3 is reading this, you're a feckin eejit.

fricatus

Finally, "I'm a Non-Entity, Let Me Rot In Here" is over, and we can enjoy the Apprentice!

It had better be an improvement on last week, because now there are no real personalities . At least if the task is good, it might make for a good programme.

Let's see...

fricatus

Appleby's... again!

And Bill's mixed metaphors... "to help me sort de wood from de treeyes" :rolleyes:

thermo66

Oh Breffni... its just not the same :(:(

MagicMarker

Weren't Appleby's in last years Apprentice as well? Or there was something very similar in the English one? I can't remember.

Yeah I thought I was having deja vu! I think it was last year's Irish one, they had to think of a free gift to give out to Appleby's customers? I think one team made a Christmas decoration.

The way the teams are divided is absolutely ridiculous, they shouldn't have the two strongest against the two weakest.

It was in the Irish one last year... I'm sure there was something about a classy black gift card or some such.

I'd never heard of Appleby's before last year. Is there something special about them or are they just salt o' de ert Duubs like Bill?

MagicMarker

Ginger Steve needs to loosen his collar...

Heroditas

Geraldine and "classy elegance"? Oh puhlease :rolleyes:

Ger -"Whyzz aren't yeh drippin' with gold"? she was only half joking too...

They are quite a famous jewellers, they've been around for years. Did I hear the owner say stuff about "affordable" jewellery??? That's a laugh...

God it's getting DEAD in here, not surprised with no Breffmeister and after how sh*t it was last week!

fricatus

Steve has a "music background"?

Like Sam??? :eek:

He has experience in the music ''industry''. Management I think.

fricatus

Lucinda is right - the chatty radio ad is a bit cliché all right...

Chinafoot

God love Lucinda...she's not the sharpest tool in the shed.

thermo66

i bet Aoifffffffffe is throwing daggers at her tv right now. HAHAHA serves her right, the b!tch!

MagicMarker

These tasks are so stupid and prove nothing at all, they are not advertisers, these ads are going to be cringe-worthily bad!

ibarelycare

Ginger Steve looks well tonight :o:o



Edit: And English Steve actually. I must be on heat...

Exclamation Marc

I bet Sam is telling everyone that if she only got to this week, she'd have shined.

fricatus

Is that the smug beardy guy from the Meteor ad, only with glasses?

"Tis the season to get trollied... fa la la la laaa, la la la laaa"

MagicMarker

Female model is way hotter than man model.

Howjoe1

ginger steve is a prat

I'd hit that model - three times!

fricatus

I'm here - only there's been nothing worth commenting on yet. As much as I disliked Aoife she was very entertaining.

Looks like Steve is gone based on Jackie's sentiments

Mr E

The 2 models looked unbelievably bored.

MagicMarker

Holy crap, they look like mug shots.

And she's using a built in flash!! Agh, these photo's are going to be awful!!!

Why? Why make them take their own photos?
