I feel the contestants often get a lot of unfair flack. Tasks such as what they did last night would, in reality, take weeks or even months to execute properly.

The boys room was like something out of only fools and horses with the mad yellow paint. The mad blue and red only made it worse.
How would you sleep in that, you'd be insane from the lack of sleep if you stayed there for a week.

I think this is ultimately what lost it for the lads. That room was so garish. At least the women’s room was a fairly relaxing colour.

I'm not endorsing the girls efforts, they were shocking as well - just slightly less shocking than the men. It's too early in the series to be firing two people at a time, there are still some participants we've hardly seen or heard from.

Maybe the fact that they pulled together, kept their eye on the budget and got the job done (albeit badly) tipped him in the women's favour?
The men's team on the other hand had some bickering, no attention was given to the budget and they blurted out their total expenditure at their pitch.

As he said himslef, the ladies only won because he hated their room less than the hated the lads one. He thought they were both crap.

So the girls deserved to win just because they agreed not to spend more than 5k?

They each had a budget of 15k and the task was not who spend the least. The experts pointed out a lot more flaws in the girls room than the boys. There was a lot of infighting from both teams.

Both teams should have had a person fired.

I don't know what Lord Sugar saw that made him think the girls won.

Agreed, but both rooms were attrocious and there had to be some deciding factor. The terms of the task seemed vague this week imo.

Elizabeth? I don't know where they found her but she is comedy gold

"Mr. Scarf, would you do me?"

I think she's hamming it up a bit at the moment.

Thanks Jamie - I have it now.

This year, it's being repeated on Friday nights on BBC1.

Episode 1 will be repeated tonight on BBC1 at 11.55pm!

Can anyone help please, I missed episode one on Wednesday night.

We cannot access BBC iplayer in Ireland.

BBC doesn't allow replay facility for its big shows like this.

Is it repeated at any time before next Wed?

A couple of seasons back I found a website where I could watch episodes I'd missed, not sure if that's still possible...

Check lSunday night listings, maybe even BBC 2 as well. Defo repeated.

I know an online place but on app so hard to post.

P.S. Any pretty girls this year?

I liked Frances Bishop last year

I actually can't take one or two of the girls seriously with the glasses.

Next week looks much better...

Big glasses with chunkier frames are certainly back in style these days and have been for quite awhile (although some of these contestants have gone a bit off the deep end in how big they've gone), but what really stood out for me is that we rarely actually see that many people (especially within the one show) with glasses on television anyway, and perhaps that made it stand out a bit more when this lot walked into the room.

Rightly or wrongly though she had a point (Siobhan)

I think in a normal scenario Karren may have just raised it in the boardroom after, but I’ve no doubt Karren has been instructed to take on this cold persona for the cameras. The first series or two she wasn’t nearly as bad

If you see her interviewed on casual chat-shows she actually comes across as very pleasant and endearing

alchemist33

That must have been one of the worst performances of all time. A task selling food and they get to their stall after lunch.

I also think Siobhan/Sinead (I laughed at that) will be comedy gold until she's kicked out about week 5 or so

Meauldsegosha

My favourite bit from last nights show was when Siobhan was talking about who should sell the burgers for the ladies team and Karen quizing her. You could feel the women in the room and the viewing audience all thinking "you silly woman, stop talking you are digging a bigger hole for yourself." TV gold.

18 contestants is way too many imo. It takes weeks to actually put names to the faces.

I suppose they can milk more ratings out of a longer series

That said it was 20 in Mark Wright's year iirc

When they were all in the boardroom at the end there was one woman (standing in the middle in the back) who I literally hadn't noticed all through the episode, same on the men's side, guy on farm far right, I hadn't clapped eyes in either. Always the way when there are so many of them vying for camera time.

I thought the right person was fired, he was useless. What about pricing? Oh domn't worry about that, we'll do it later. Eh, it's one of the most basic and important parts of the task when the bottom line is profit. What a donkey.

al87987

Typical first episode. I thought they fired the right person. Team Leader was clueless from the outset.

You can always tell which people are just not liked by everyone else though. Charles and the older woman with glasses will rub people the wrong way.

I do miss trying to pick a winner from the pack at the start, as said already its all down to the business plan these days.
