The UK Apprentice Season 8 Week 10

RachaelVO

This is the week Stephen HAS to be PM, he's a gonner, I hope...
All though I would like to see him in the interviews, I reckon he'd get torn to SHREDS!
Thoughts folks

I don't think this restaurant manager realises he's going to be asked to give a substantial discount.

50% is very high

flutegirl

Yer one in the middle doesn't look very happy at the discount...

All those discount sites work like that, that want a minimum of 50% and then the take a commission off the prices paid!

Heroditas

Who is that restaurant manager? Has he been on something like Hell's Kitchen? He looks very familiar.

Crazy expecting a top class restaurant in London to offer discounts. Top class places like that don't need to offer discounts to get people in the door.

I missed the beginning, but that's what I was thinking, should they not be targeting places that need to build their client base.

In theory, yes.
However the task is to try and get some fancy deals.
Not too fancy though!
As Karen says "luxury experiences".
Going to Marcus Waering is taking the proverbial though! Two Michelin star restaurant? Ha ha.... gotta be kidding me.

Going to Marcus Waering is the stupidest thing ever, FFS he is a world renowned chef! GOBSHITES!!

Is the objective to get the most discount in terms of price? Usually Lord Sugar ( I miss 'sir allen') is all about the cash.

Ah jaysus.....is Stephens team going to win this? Ricky is clearing up on the deals.....

The products will then go on the site and the team that sells the most wins.

Well what do I know? Marcus struck a deal with them!

Yeah, he's doing really well, I like him, and I'm liking Adam more and more too!

Thanks a mill, a nervous day. I'm thinking the Marcus Waring could be a winner.

Heroditas

Depends how many deals for each product were agreed and offered! He may have only offered 2 or 3 of them.
Still, it's a very interesting task. Really enjoying it this week.

Anyone

Haha, you're fired Stephen!

flutegirl

Did nobody take up the golf offer?

efb

Please fire Steven!

flutegirl

They should've gone in their tracksuits

RachaelVO

Fair play to Ricky, he is brilliant, and in with a good shot!

I think Stephens days are numbered!!!!!!!!!!

MagicMarker

500 quid for tea?

flutegirl

Gabrielle will need to speak up and fight her corner otherwise she could be gone.

A bit surprised that Gabby went. Haven't seen the full episode though so not entirely sure what really happened. I am not surprised that Stephen was fired though, I think a double firing was expected though at some point, surprised though as I thought there was another week or two to go before the final.

Not surprised by the candidates who are left though quiet predicable really!
So say be a fella that will win! I had my bet on Gabby to win but from what I gather she didn't perform tonight. So any of the lads could win doubt Jade will due to her indecisiveness but otherwise she isn't too bad a candidate but think it could be any of the lads to be honest. All depends how the next task and final goes.

- Disappointed that Gabrielle is gone, I was a fan. I thought she was a cert to make the final with her creative abilities. You'd think that would be more valuable than sales negotiation which you can get a lot of people to do.

- Adam is very funny, negotiating for tea and coffee, lol. He's very lucky his team won this week, or he was a goner.

- Ricky had a good week, he's grown on me a lot over the last few weeks. Likable guy and a clear thinker. I thought he was right to stay in London. Some funny scenes when he was getting the runaround by the guy in the first restaurant.

- The show is beautifully shot, one of the reasons I enjoy watching. The bird's-eye views of London are obviously stunning, but also the minor scenes are really well shot and edited.

sunbabe08

well double firing is always good to cleanse the soul ricky even though he should have told your man up front what he was there for, instead of staying there to be shown the views and eating the food, and also got more lunches and dinners as well, he did a good job. so the other two are gone and that's that. bring on next week's task!!!!

mikemac1

Hard to argue with the firings
Great to see Stephen gone

Didn't like Ricky at the start but he's getting better and better every week. Was brilliant the last two weeks


500 pounds for tea :eek:
Bet it's not as nice as me Mammys

jupiterjack

alwaya seem to be a week behind only watching this now, hope its that drip stephen tonight.
