From Wicklow? What? Sounds like he's of the "landed gentry" stock....

It's not really a Wicklow accent is it?

DancingQueen:)

I love the Aprentice, think it's a brillant idea to do a junior one. Looks like it's going to be interesting.

Did Jordan say what his business was? I missed it if so.

His accent is annoying me!

Reminds me of Ryan Tubridy....

Juice bar somewhere in Dublin apparently. Ryan is a good shout!

60 pounds for cheese? :eek:

Koloman

Jordan is the star of the show so far which is probably a bad omen! I have a funny feeling he may be gone tonight.

ibarelycare

Looks like the boys are going to lose. Jordan could be a gonner.

That girl Zoe is a great seller, but can see her causing trouble.

YESROH

very entertaining so far

Koloman

Women love cheese he says! Really? I thought it was chocolate that women loved!

Ginny

Jesus how did they make that much of a loss, they sold that chest for 250 right?
Jesus!

Koloman

Squeaky bum time for Jordan.

Ryan is out methinks..... shame

EDIT - Jordan - genuine mistake

Ginny

Did the boys sell the cheese to the chef from the prize...:D

So they made 30 quid from the stall and the downtown sales? bizarre, did they mess up the pricing?

Koloman

That beardy kid is landing Jordan in it. What's with the beard anyway? He looks at least 35!

Lesson number 1 for the boys: Buy shirts that fit you!

I miss Margaret and her comments..

He looks older than the rest of the boys combined!


It must be difficult for them to remember to call him Lord Sugar instead of Suralan

Ginny

Jordan or Reese to go, hopefully Reese, I want to see how Jordan gets on.

ibarelycare

I get the impression that the Lord likes Jordan.

Fingers crossed!

Reese comes across as a bit of a cry baby.

Ooo err

I guess not

Regina Phalange

awwww man!

Koloman

Shame!

Mr E

Shame. He didn't deserve to go first.

stepbar

Right person fired. Poor project manager.

anniehoo

God im glad the little fecker is gone. Hes 16 FFS and already acting like a snobby jumped up brat.

Regina Phalange

Reese looks silly in a suit!

Poor Jordan!

But I'll add to that, fair balls for getting there in the first place.

DancingQueen:)

Ah he could have been good in the next few weeks! He probably deserved it though.

Ginny

Never ever put yourself up for PM of the first task, if you lose you'll be gone as you've nothing else to fall back on...

shivs

What is the story with these kids? They are 16/17, running businesses and TBH sounding like arrogant brats.

I don't begrudge their confidence, but just confused at their seemingly mature attitude to business and their decision to enter the world of business at such a young age.

First episode of The Apprentice I've seen in it's entirety and I really enjoyed it!

Jordan was the right one to go first.. he made some genuinely poor decisions but the blame unfortunately would have fell on him anyways as a project manager I suppose. I did think Reese was spot-on in trying to push a more expensive / luxury cheese as the "Cheese Of The Day" as opposed to the cheapest cheese they had.

Reese will definitely be the first to break.. he genuinely looked like he's burst into tears numerous times during the show.

The other lad ("beardy-Mini-Ashton-Kutcher") needs to show some fecking initiative.. the "wind tunnel" excuse was absolutely laughable!

But in saying that - Jordan looked he'd potentially be the most entertaining, so that's actually unfortunate enough!

RoadKillTs

Really enjoyed the show. That Wicklow lad was a bit of a di*k in fairness. It doesn't matter what you know about business you have to have people skills at a minimum. He was really arrogant.

That blonde one that was doing all the selling was very good.

Agreed.. and Hibah's reaction at her taking control (and shutting her out) of the situation with the seller was a bit childish.

We should remember these are still teenagers though.. despite the fact they've done more at 16 than I have at 26! :eek:

Closed ac

Very entertaining tonight!

My favourite so far would be Tim. I think the right person went tonight.. I didn't like him at all and he did make quite a few mistakes.

The Sparrow

Had to laugh at Jordan at the end in the taxi saying that there is no reason why he won't be more successful than Sugar in 5 years. Except for a complete lack of leadership and business sense!

Horrific accent too. I'm glad he is gone.

I know and as soon as she gets in the boardroom she starts bad mouthing her for no reason!

Wouldn't blame her to be honest.
Yes, the blond one was a good seller and yes your one should probably have left her to conclude her own negotiation but that one is as self-centred and fake as your ever gonna come across. did ya see her goin over and hugging her then and asking her was she ok? FAKE!!!!

MidlandsM

Feck, missed this , when is this going to be repeated?

star.chaser

Cringe worthy television every time Jordan was on camera.
He's gonna be bigger than Alan Sugar in five years!
He's gonna come down to earth in the next few years with an almighty bang.

Well that’s not true. Over the last few seasons Sugar has always given extra credit to the person that has decided to be the PM for the first week as he knows that a lot of peoples’ game plan is to stay schtumm for the first few weeks. The Irish lad went because he made too many mistake.

Yeah, it was a ridiculous decision to go with the cheaper one as people would be willing to buy that anyway. If you’re giving samples it should’ve been one at the mid to higher end cheeses.

He was also quite clever with his reasoning for the location but they messed up by not being ready for the lunch time trade. They let customers leave the stand without talking to them.

Yeah, he was the constant reminder that they’re just kids. He really did look like he was making his Communion though.

It was stupid alright. She obviously had someone on her team that was excellent at selling “on a selling task” so she should’ve just shut her mouth and let her get on with it. That said, the blondie one would be a bit annoying to deal with on your team.

Yeah it’s mad that they have that amount of confidence so young. It was also nice of Sugar to give the words of encouragement to the Irish lad before he fired him.

D-Generate

The boys made an absolute disaster of a decision to go there. Sure there is a lot of business people near by but the employees that are working there know what they want for lunch and know where to get it. They don't have the time to be wandering around wondering what to eat for lunch. The girls location was far superior. It is filled with tourists who have no preconceived ideas of what stalls are good and hence they are easier to shift food on to.
