Apprentice (IRL) - Season 2 Week 12 Discussion

FruttiTutti

Thought I'd kick it off today!!

Geraldine is a goner tonight, there's no way she'll handle the interviews well!!

leggo

I wouldn't say that. Just because she has a thick Dublin accent doesn't discount her talking ability...she's a great way of spinning things and being able to relate to people. Slips of the tongue aside (which are regrettable but they happen).

Stephen's in trouble imo. He's been exposed in recent weeks as all talk, little action. Put that to the test against someone who knows exactly how to spot and expose that and he's on borrowed time.

Steve will be fine. He's a leyman. There's no BS with Steve: he does what he does well, puts his hands up for his weaknesses and is showing a will to improve. So he's not going to get caught out and his positive skills outweigh the negatives.

HealthyWay

I agree but I think she will still handle it better than ginger Steve. The guy would aggrivate the Dalai Lama!!

FruttiTutti

I wasn't saying she wouldn't handle it because she has a Dublin accent?! I'm not that shallow!!!

I just don't think she'll be good enough (based on watching the Apprentice solely) to perform well in the interviews, it has nothing to do with her accent!!

I agree that Stephen hasn't had much to offer up to now though, and if he doesn't loosen his top button he may well choke under the pressure of these grillings!!

Ginger Steve to go I reckon. Geraldine really pushed her way to the position of the front runner last week I think. I agree that her much lauded "people skills" should be enough to get through the interviews. Did you see the ad for it on tv3?! About English Steve!

Yes I saw the trailer where Steve admits to having had drink and gambling problems. Really should be amazing to find out all about that.

I think Geraldine could do well as she's a lot smarter than she lets on and Mr Ginger could actually be good as I find him to be a good talker but not so good at doing things.

Really can't wait for tonights show, think it will be great! The interviews are my favourite part of both the Irish and British Apprentice, and last years Irish interviews (especially with that guy Gavin off Dragons' Den) were really unbelievable so it should be fascinating viewing tonight.

+1 for ginger Steve being a goner tonight.

JP Liz

ginger steve gone tonight

FruttiTutti

Looks like I'm on my own thinking Geraldine will get the boot so! No wonder I'm usually wrong!

I'm just dying to see how the conversation even finds its way to Steve talking about alcoholism and gambling addictions. He must be getting torn to shreds in there!

Tmeos

I was wondering about that clip too (with English Steve and the gambling etc.) if someone asked questions like that in a real life interview then it would be completely innapropriate.

I think ginger Steve is definitley for the chop tonight.

FruttiTutti

I think it's totally ridiculous that he had to discuss that at such an interview. It's his personal business like. But I suppose it depends on how it came up, he might have just blurted it out himself! I doubt he was just asked if he's an alcoholic!

I'm sure they don't mind answering those questions for the chance of getting the job.

English Steve to go tonight.

He had to explain why he had a gap in his CV.

Steve Higgins to go tonight too IMO. Overall, he deserved to go last week, ahead of Lucinda, knew that when Bill said he was firing Lucinda regretfully. Get the impression Bill doesn't like ginger steve that much, as well as the fact he hasnt been brilliant in many of the tasks so far

groovy 09

I hope Geraldine goes, I wouldn't like to work with her, she'd stab you in the back, I wouldn't trust her.

MagicMarker

Just so you know, this is on at 9 tonight, NOT 10!!

Tmeos

Thanks for that they keep changing it - so annoying

nicklauski

Heard Bill on today fm today. Darcy was tryin to get it out of him about Steves problems as they were all over the papers, Darcy said surely that will affect his chances, aul Billo replied that his mother always told him that people that face there problems come back stronger. So I reckon Steve is safe as houses tonight.

Could be Ginger Steve, surprised he's stayed this long. I'm actually surprised Geraldine is still in aswell. The whole giving Brefney her sales and "young lads getting hammered" should have had her gone ages ago.

Looking forward to it tonight, i think the interviews are one of the best parts of the series!

fricatus

Big bottle of Belgian beer - check!
Cheese on toast - check!
Sitting down at 9 rather than 10 (thank you MagicMarker) - check!
Internet by my side - check!
Coronation Street about to end - check!

Ginger Steve to be fired - check?

jonas7

Dave!

smiling_girl

Dave!

English Steve says in a macabre way he enjoys interviews, gotta love Steve

Chinafoot

Geraldine deserves to stay over Ginger Steve. He's coasted his way through and done sweet feck all.

Hope she does well tonight.

Breffney would have been good here too

Roro4Brit

hope they rip the ginger coated bolox off that steven guy. I've said it every week but he grates on me. I've never taken a dislike to anyone I've never met in real life before like I have with this ****er.

He needs to be taken down a peg or 7.

ps jackie lavin is fab. Cracks me up!

Anyone that's come out seems to say he's sound.

G'wan Steve!

He may be sound but he hasn't done anything. The only thing that I can remember him doing is making someone so uncomfortable that they said they would never buy from him. He has no people skills, no sales skills and is full of crap.

English Steve doing okay so far........

ibarelycare

That female interviewer is too nice for this. Tsk! I want TEARS!

Edit: First female interviewer...I wasn't paying attention when they said their names!

Good girl Geraldine, you can speak Spanish. Pity Bill wasn't involved with Seat and not Renault. :P

smiling_girl

good evening!!!!!

I reckon its pretty obvious who will win by todays newspaper coverage!

Ger can talk anyway!!!

Yeah true. One of two things. Either he is not very good at expressing himself and letting people who dont know him well who he really is.

Or it could be the editing team in TV3....

Personally I think its him

MagicMarker

Geraldine did alright.
