    I didn’t see last week, was the task related to bad Botox jobs on lips?

    Genuinely thought Kevin did well in the board room. Bad firing



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,698 ✭✭✭✭salmocab


    That’s a shocker of a decision, think Suicre might not like a certain nationality.

    They say the cars will be outside in 20 mins.


    They never say anything about the car leaving in 20 mins.

    Utterly terrible firing. Corporate sale on the mens team was abysmal and cost them the task, hands down. They could easily have sold more and at a higher price.

    Lord Sugar claims that its Kevins at fault for selling the bao buns too cheap despite the fact that even if they sold at the girls prices, they'd still have lost. Staggering.

    Also, the frequency of people claiming they "smashed it" is becoming so irritating. Communication skills are so poor for so many of them.

    Very unusual for the losing project manager to survive losing the first two tasks.

    Feels like the wrong decision was made again this week.

    Meanwhile, am I alone in having never heard of bao buns before this episode?! I'd consider myself reasonably well knowledged about food, but these completely passed me by.

    Last nights episode was woeful, thought firing Kevin was unfair but the whole episode was abysmal. The series is making fools out of the participants.

    Used to like the episode where they were given a list of 5 obscure items and have to hare around London to get them - they haven't done that in a few years, probably cause there is no sponsorship / product placement. I know they used COVID as an excuse but that can't be valid now

    If one of the women just took out their phone they could have calculated what they needed in seconds.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 34,615 ✭✭✭✭gmisk


    I am pretty sure they aren't allowed to do that.

    They are only allowed to use phones to call each other for a set amount of time/time slot for the show.

    Otherwise they would just look up things in the shopping task week for example "what is oud?"



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 34,615 ✭✭✭✭gmisk


    The candidates/contestants insane laughing at sugars pre ready comedy lines is wearing very thin.

    Not a great series so far no idea why Kevin went this week.

    The dodgy lips are a distraction, I think the girls team leader this week was really good and she was decent week one as well.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,696 ✭✭✭Man Vs ManUre


    Bit harsh on the Irish lad to go. The PM should have gone.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,504 ✭✭✭AyeGer


    I followed Sugar for a while on twitter, he comes across as a spiteful petty man. Who knows what his real motivation was for getting rid of the two Irish participants so quickly.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,442 ✭✭✭FAILSAFE 00


    I get the impression Shannon was only on the show to get a bit of PR for her business. It already had a £1 million valuation.

    Her exit seemed very planned for max PR.

    I don't know if it's just me or if anyone else thinks the best of the best candidates in this show were in the first 5 or so series. The candidates knew the cost of stuff and the profit that could be made and how to negotiate a deal with someone, be that a candidate with experience working market stalls or trading shares in the city.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 19,013 ✭✭✭✭Mantis Toboggan


    I'd imagine a lot of that is rose tinted glasses, if anything it's the editing has changed to start making them a bit more clueless.

    I agree. The candidates now seem to be selected based on their looks. Very few of them have any business sense and most of their businesses are rubbish. The fools are selected for entertainment value now.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,805 ✭✭✭StupidLikeAFox


    Same - had to unfollow him, he spent a lot of time bickering with 1. Pierce Morgan and 2. Random accounts who had 100 followers who left some comment he didn't like



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,698 ✭✭✭✭salmocab


    It can’t be on looks, unless the producers have a fetish for bad Botox.

    the candidates are definitely not near the quality in the past, there was always a few duffers but they got weeded out early. Now the duffers make the interviews.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,504 ✭✭✭AyeGer


    I unfollowed Morgan too, just a mouth who contradicts himself regularly.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,696 ✭✭✭Man Vs ManUre


    When the teams are mixed, they should bring back the blondie from Northern Ireland who won it a few years ago, who has a Botox/Fillers business. The task can be selecting and applying new fillers, Botox, boob jobs and Brazilian butt lifts to the women contestants who are still left. The lads can judge the results. Lads Lads Lads….



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 19,013 ✭✭✭✭Mantis Toboggan


    Agreed there's some awful fake lips this year, what are these women thinking, they just look ridiculous.

    Knew the project manager would survive that. He’s a knob in the mould of a joey Essex so they'll keep him as long as possible. I’m sure it’s pure coincidence that ‘Lord’ 🙄 sugar has fired both Irish in the first two weeks…always seems to manage to get them out early. As others have alluded to, he’s revealed his true self on twitter the last couple of years.
