Evenin' all...

Buying task this evening. Last tear's one was one of the best episodes. Here's hoping!

MistyCheese

Double firing tonight!

Hopefully Boards won't keep crashing on me as it did during the Irish Apprentice on Monday.

There's still a lot of chaff. I'd do away with three :cool:

Jesus. Sarah sure gets up at crazy hours. And she hangs up on her again :pac:

AnnyHallsal

I think I'm starting to like Stuart, or at least his comic value

AnnyHallsal

Yay, wheeling and dealing!

Just guessing. There's seven candidates left and four shows (including tonights). So either we're due a double firing or there'll be four in the final.

I hear Maggie will be back for the interview stage

MagicMarker

3 boys have no chance tbh.

That's news most excellent.

Does anyone find the Lord a bit ... sexeh? It's not the money!

MistyCheese

Who are you most surprised to see still in it? For me it's Laura, I thought she'd be gone by now.

Busi_Girl08

The guys seem to be faffing around a little bit. The girls have dug straight in.

Yeah, her. Useless. And then Chris Pink Lips.

It's a toss up between her and Stuart. Both annoy me.

Banji

Tuning in late! Can someone tune me in?

Busi_Girl08

Hahaha, oh god. :pac:

FYI, Blue Book is also a legal citation manual used by Harvard Law School

I reckon he asks his wife to call him Lord Sugar in the sack.

Are they not allowed to use ye olde Internet to find out more about the items? I Googled "gold tikka", it's Indian head jewellery.

Since when do they call Liz "Elizabeth"?

Ooookay, the girls are screwed.

She's definitely more of a Liz

Gunsfortoys

I think jamie should win, his sales and negotiation skills are brilliant.

MistyCheese

The guys are kicking ass this week. Then again, editing is a powerful tool.

They certainly are - looks like Liz is history!

Busi_Girl08

Chris. WTF?!

He's personable too, smooth, I suppose.

the west wing

Ya I'm suprised the boys are doing so well. I thought they would be more disorganised!

He is to the point. He doesn't come across as a bull****ter either, mark of a good salesman.

Busi_Girl08

Marco was busy cooking Sunday lunch for a room full of loudly eating women.

"Mmmmm mmmmmm mmmmmmm"

padraig_f

The guys might run out of time though.

MistyCheese

Or not get all the items. So the penalties may outweigh the discounts.

Mr E

Thread renamed (its week 9)

Busi_Girl08

This kitchen unit could cost them a bit, they're struggling now.

But I think the womens' lack of negotiating skills could cost them aswell.

That kind of sucks, because Jamie was pretty on point today. The other 2 guys were faffing about with the Blue Book.

fricatus

This is a brilliant task. Last year's one was great too, with the Nigella seeds.

Can anyone imagine Dr Bill setting a task like this? Bring us back a coupl'a penny apples, a Renault Flatulence, a big red buke, and a wedding ring from de boyiz in Appleby's. Remember yiz are spendin' muy munny!

You'd think blokes would be better at buying diy supplies :pac:

Okaaaay they guys are screwed.

4 items missing? :-S

the west wing

Wow the men are getting big money off their items! I'm suprised.

AnnyHallsal

Stuart's celebrations are disturbing. Imagine his O face ... No, actually, don't.

fricatus

Jesus, the poor driver, ferrying those two apes around!

Diddler1977

Boys will win..........

salad dodger

I wonder does having the cameras there make doing a deal a little easier??

MistyCheese

7 out of 10? Lord Shug will not be impressed.

padraig_f

Girls will win now, 50 pounds penalty plus list price will be impossible to beat.

ferretone

So depends on difference between massive discounts for boys and the penalties they incur

Diddler1977

That wolf toothed one is very sly. Can't stand her.

MistyCheese

Now for the numbers...
