When did it start?

Mr E · 20-03-2008 9:09am

Very vague post, womama! Try and give more information next time.

Noticed on Aertel the other night that there was a Dub on it this year.
Looking at the BBC site it's Jennifer Maguire a 27 y.o. Marketing Consultant living in Bristol and apparently she can make the shape of a shamrock with her tongue... nice!

corcaighcailin9 · 20-03-2008 1:23pm

Can't wait for it to start again. Bring it on!!

niceirishfella · 20-03-2008 1:34pm

Indeed, need something decent on the telly these days.

I just looked at all the pics of the new victims...opps, sorry ...contestants.

CHRIST! You're not wrong!!

WTF?

niceirishfella · 21-03-2008 12:36am

These blokes look they are going to spend more time watching their hair do's than tending to the tasks in hand.
Sir Alan will have them for breakfast...............

Personally I'm disappointed at the ratio of cocky:modest people this year. I'll probably enjoy watching it regardless, if only to see some of those people get a smack of reality.

The X-Soldier is my favourite already. Everyone else is dispicable based on those little interviews on the bbc site.

The last two are actually quite attractive if someone took a scissors and comb to their barnets. And they definitely aren't gay haircuts (well maybe the third one) unless you are a 12 year old who uses gay as an adjective to describe something bad.

I read that the second guy has given himself an additional surname, deLacy no less, because he is a barrister and wanted to sound posh...

I saw one trailer for the show and it looked like loads of rows between the girls, whereas usually the alpha males generate all the early friction allowing the girls to win the challenges.

No - I'm a 29 year old who uses gay as an adjective to describe something bad.

And they all need a good punch in the face to wipe those conceited smirks off them.

ojewriej · 26-03-2008 9:19am

For all my fellow apprentice lovers, tonight 9pm ! i personally cannot wait!

For more info on the contestants
http://www.bbc.co.uk/apprentice/

We have an Irish representative:
Jennifer Maguire
Age 27
Career Marketing Consultant
Qualifications Irish leaving Cert
Home Town Bristol

"I can sell anything. I can sell pieces of paper for £50 and making a living out of it."

Jennifer was born and brought up in Dublin. Rejecting university life in favour of instant earning, she hopped on a plane to New York where she waited tables in a restaurant. After a year in advertising sales back home, she ran her own successful advertising business in Brussels before taking up her current role, working within the fashion industry. Jennifer comes from a very large feisty family and isn't afraid to have her voice heard. She sees herself as outspoken, funny and open-minded but has vowed to win The Apprentice by keeping her enemies close by her side. Apparently she can make the shape of a shamrock with her tongue...

Mossy Monk · 26-03-2008 4:30pm

I saw a clip for the show where she claims "to be the best in Europe". I don't know what she was claiming to be the best as, her job presumably but it should be interesting.

anotherlostie · 26-03-2008 10:41pm

Already I HATE Rauf.

condra · 26-03-2008 11:09pm

Me too, and i have a feeling Im not much going to like that girl with the cookie hats.

stepbar · 26-03-2008 11:12pm

Is it just me, but every year without fail the producers pick the biggest, loudest, ego tripping tossers going. TBH none of them have covered themselves in glory in business terms. "The best sales person in Europe"?? That's a ridiculus comment :rolleyes: Telesales Executive..... Big deal :rolleyes: Sales Manager.... Big deal :rolleyes: and so on yada yada yada...... These people are not high flyers. Spoofers, pure spoofers.
