The Apprentice UK 2011 Week 3

mikemac

Evening all

We were spoiled last week with two episodes

I'm gunning for Edna to be fired.
Bu well impressed with that Tyrone lad

Buying task this week, these are always good

Lady Chatterton

I'd say a lot of the lads will be watching the match tonight.

staker

Flicking between the two.:D

Want to see was Jim's Jenius just a flash in the pan or a sign of things to come???

MagicMarker

Completely forgot about this until right now.

RachaelVO

Evening all, are we all set for the madness and mayhem the buying task brings... not to mention some egos getting deflated? I've been looking forward to this since last thursday:D

RachaelVO

I think this one could be good for Jim, he seemed to be good at getting a good deal in the first task, so I'd say he'll shine in this one (at least I hope he does)

mikemac

It was said on the last thread but there are a lot on the women's team who got very little attention.

I feel I'm a lot more familiar with the lads so far

No room to hide this week,
everyone will be in small groups

deise48

i cant wait for this tonight

Lady Chatterton

Good evening folks Can't wait to see Jim tonight. However, I reckon that alot of the lads will want to take him out (no jokes pls) after last week's performance in the boardroom.

MagicMarker

Wouldn't mind staying in the Savoy.

crisco10

cant wait to see Robert Carlisle in this task. He has been a bit ropey recently....

MagicMarker

A procurement list, how fúcking retarded is she?

The actor? If so, I really would have preferred not to know that, thanks.

I've been liking Gavin the last couple of times, hoping he doesn't screw it up this week by being PM.

Why would anyone give out their list to competitors. That'd never happen!

nothing

Team Logic are a disaster tonight... again.

Gunsfortoys

Jesus Jim is a great negotiator.

Lady Chatterton

Jim is cheeky but I really like him!!!

mikemac

Jim is the man!

crisco10

poor negotiating there. she didn't even get an idea of what your man wanted!!!


Why are the girls so excited about a penny?!?!???????????????????

Lady Chatterton

"I could have got the price down" who was she trying to fool :rolleyes:

They have the negotiation skills of Brian Cowen and Brian Lenihan :mad:

mikemac

Going to a dry cleaners to buy a hat :rolleyes:

nothing

Top Hat Dry Cleaning for a top hat... are you ****ting me!?

RachaelVO

They went into a dry cleaners called Top Hat cleaners, hoping to get a top hat???? Seriously!!!!!!!!!!!!!

flutegirl

Ah lads, you need to get a move on...!!! :eek:

crisco10

Gavin is really efficient at wasting time.

Lady Chatterton

I'd say they were hoping that they might have picked up a freebie. Drycleaners often have unclaimed items of clothing.

mikemac

Can I ask why they are shopping in Mayfair, one of the most upmarket areas of London??

I remember a few years ago, a team went to the East End and bought cheaper

Last year, Nick ripped apart a team for buying in an expensive area. I see the same mistakes here
"If I want a cheap suit, I don't go to Savill Row"

reera82

"Vincent and his girls"? Makes him sound like Hugh Hefner.

Gunsfortoys

These lads know nothing about negotiating. How are these people in business?

leinster_fan

ha!
"It's for an important client"

....."why would that make any difference to me?"

loving it!!

Think you may be giving them more credit than they are due.

Hugh Hefner would have more luck pulling though

crisco10

hahahahaahhaha

£900!!!!!!! priceless.

nothing

Fupped for the tea... That Susie is as bad as Gavin...

flutegirl

Did I hear right? 900 pounds for tea?????????????? :eek:

flower tattoo

When they start making all the calls originally are they not allowed to ask the price? And can they not move in smaller groups? Seems very strangest have 3 people buying a bell for 8 quid

MagicMarker

lol, she knocked 500 off the price. What a joke!!

Lady Chatterton

£900 for tea, their mad. It's not Dom Peringon.

mikemac

They bought £900 worth of tea for £410
That tea merchant is some rip off :eek:. She has a huuuuuuuge margin!

Even then, they still overpaid

RachaelVO

Both teams are totally fubared! They screwed it all up in one was or another!

must be only 2 cars per team or something. otherwise sub teams of 1 or 2 would be much more efficient.

I see they have gone with a fixed penalty again this year. Always think a variable penalty would work better.

D-Generate

Last year the team that won didn't get a lot of items but the list price + £50 came in a heck of a lot less than buying in the expensive shops so they won it.

Ya sure did. I spat mine out when I heard the price. Nearly choked

No a great advert for her business. She looks like a rip off merchant not a tea merchant

It didn't show the name of the business so I doubt if it will affect business.

Yep, no point coming back with all the items if you spend mental money.
