    As long as you threw in a few "the dogs on the streets..." for M.O'L you'd be grand.

    Dermot Desmond would be a good one i reckon!

    Who'd be the boss in an Irish Apprentice? Any suggestions?


    Bill cullen,long way from penny apples love!

    Anyway great programme.Did anyone see pauls quote on BBC website?

    Claim to fame: "Putting together a 3 million pound deal on a phone while riding a bike." hehe then he woke up...

    Dont think Paul will win,I think Miriam is in with a good shot.But as Lump says Sugar wont take on a woman going on what he has read about Siucra.Always remember when Venables was sacked by Sugar.They would sing "A spoonful of sugar makes the Venables go down" :D

    I can see Michael O'Leary as the boss in an Irish Apprentice. "Ok your task today is to come up with the best method of having a go at Bertie Ahern, achieving some free publicity while not spending any money on full page newspaper ads as this month's ad budget is all used up."

    Eh.... He's married. But he's said in an interview that he didn't think any of the current females in the apprentice were suitable.

    Well im eating my words now as Miriam has just been sacked..I'm shocked really,tonights show was great but what Sir Al said it was down to her was wrong.If she had of said "Will only one of you talk to me through ear piece" i think Paul still would of stuck his oar in.

    Well Lump seems you were right about Sugar.

    Sir Alan got it so wrong- even from a ratings point of view I cant imagine how sacking Miriam would have been good for the show- now theres 3 guys and one..er.. female..
    perhaps the producers really dont have a say in who stays or goes.

    Miriam had been fairly quiet over the last couple of weeks but really impressed everyone this week, how ironic that she was sacked.

    I think the big fella James will probably win. Although perhaps Alan has a soft spot for that abrasive little toerag Siara.

    I dont have a personal favourite now that Miriam is gone. Damn she was a fine thing.

    Lets hope she gets a TV job!

    Hey maybe she could work in Irish tv?? - oh yeah i forgot- her daddy isnt a producer in RTE.- my bad.

    It's got nothing to do with ratings. He's got nothing to do with TV. He wants the best person. I rhink I'll go to the live show when they announce the winner.

    This week was so funny, I cried. Some quality lines.

    Paul to win, Saira to go next week IMHO.

    Yup the wolf coat was a knockout alright...

    Still dont think Paul will win(hope) but looking at whats left,it will be Paul&Siara left.The other two dont think will cut it.But from the next weeks snip at end of tonight one it seems James might do well.Have to say James did well tonight.

    Tim is gone next week i reckon.

    I didn't think Miriam deserved to go last night...

    I think its between Paul and James now. Difficult to say who out of those two will win.

    Tim looks the most promising. I hope he wins, I still cant stand Saira

    Paul was no happy bunny when he got the sack there though. James managed to keep dignified and not have a last dash attempt at staying.

    James already had a 6 figure job.... and experience. He's looking for an apprentice, not a problem solver....

    James got the sack because Sugar's 'consultants' are in the main a bunch of barrow-boys "done well" who couldn't bear the fact that he has education, a profession and experience. They kept mentioning the fact he'd attended university as a negative factor FFS.

    Of the two that went forward I hope Tim gets it, he at least seems to have some dignity and would probably learn well on the job.

    That Saira is one of the most despicable human beings I've ever had the misfortune to see on TV. She's gobby, aggressive and stupid, and seems to have got the final stage by simply shouting everyone else down. She's ****ed up the tasks repeatedly and won't accept responsibility. She should be managing a Centra, but that's about the summit of her ability.

    On a side note, did anyone see him on Jonathon Ross? Thought hecame across rather well. Married 37 Years, happy. Got three kids, and in his own words, "Even though their father is rich, they're not speeding around in Ferrari's and taking Cocaine, I'm proud of them" - or something along those lines.

    I admire the man TBH, and he could handle Jonathon rather well.

    Yup would have to agree on the interview with Ross.Came across as a bloke who knew where he came from and after all the money he has earned, solid head on him.

    Seen on front of one of the papers today that one of the apprentices(Siara) i think.12,000 pounds worth of damage to the house they all lived in?....Didnt really see the rest.

    Good Lad Tim.

    Live show was great, and the bust up between Paul and Saira was great.

    Glad to hear he's confirmed a second series. He was knocking around the BBC last week, well that was for Jonathon Ross, but he was there all day. Normally the guests arrive in the evening.
