Somehow she has worked in a Michelin star restaurant, has a vast knowledge of the perfume industry, is an expert director and photographer, possesses a deep understanding of wine, and has been in the music industry for 15 years. She's a librarian.

Maybe the requirements are different in the UK but librarian is an advanced degree in the states, so I kind of doubt she is even that.

You generally need to have some sort of higher-level qualification to work in a library, or at least you used to. And she's been in the music industry since she was 4 years old? Hahaha the bullshit some of the Apprentice candidates come out with is hilarious.

They say she's a librarian but that probably just means she works in a library. As libraries try to be jack-of-all-trades these days she probably gets to pretend to be an expert on a hundred things.

Public libraries don't have qualified librarians at all any more. I manage one and still can't call myself a librarian formally. She is definitely just a paraprofessional library assistant or weekend assistant who doesn't understand that it's a professional title.

Why are we debating whether a person who is 19 years old and has claimed to be an expert in about a dozen different fields with over a decade of experience in each is qualified to be what she says she is. She's just a spoilt, delusional tosser, op. Not quite as bad as that Gary-Tim kid though.

I'm on a lot of cold medicine right now, and its not so much a specific radio voice, but a kind of dramatic nerd emphasis cos you've been told to really emote but also they want to appear cynical and detached but also try and deliver pithy one liners that they kind of trail off on because doing pithy one liners off the cuff is really hard.

I rarely hear people speaking like that in not-poo poo media. Jeremy Clarkson speaks a bit like that and he’s awful. That’s the most mainstream example I can think of.

The business plans they ended up with on The Apprentice this year were something else. One bloke wanted to blow the whole investment on a big lads' holiday to Croatia and hopefully make some money... somehow. The one calling herself a librarian nicked her idea for a business from the episode of The Simpsons where Marge joins the country club. Her business plan had no numbers in it. The two that made it to the final are a recruitment company and a coffee shop

One candidate (Pamela, maybe) summed it up as something like, "they shredded my business plan, they shredded my life, they shredded my emotions". Thomas was such a complete huckster he ran up a record of 8 losses in 9 challenges! He was so bad but would somehow hang on. And Marianne kept volunteering to work with him instead of running away as fast as possible. Lottie The Librarian was hilariously insufferable, 19 years old and the ultimate expert on wine, electric bikes, ice lollies, music, and of course perfume. "Have you been to Croatia?" "Uh no not yet" LOL. He would have had a great time partying it up with Surallan's money. I thought coffee shop Carina was doing well until her head popped off like a jack-in-the-box when she was asked about scaling up and said, "2000 shops. 2000 to 5000". Where did that come from?! From a £250,000 investment!

The only thing I have to add at this point is that I enjoyed modifying our scale rooftop set models

Finished up "The Apprentice", what I like most about this version compared to the states with our president is that this feels like an actual business contest, no product placement (that much), no shameless promotion, and instead of the ego-driven fame boss, it's one that's just a pessimistic grumpton. and this finale between a recruitment firm and a bakery is something i really love, it's what i love watching the most about this version, it's not a "do a charity banquet" it really is trying to see the business ideas in development to see who gets the investment. And the right person won, in my opinion.

Most of the contestants seeking an investment into their business plans are just flat out stupid. The first time someone wanted to give away a 50% stake just to scale up slightly quicker, lurdsugar rightly pointed out that it was stupid, and that they'd be much better off getting a smaller loan to help it along, as a 50% stake is a ridiculous amount to give away of a currently viable/profitable business. He concluded any business that couldn't get financial backing to grow, was broadly not seen as viable, so why would he think different? Now it's a staple of the show that people want to give away 50% of their business to .... hire a member of staff? Open a second location? Scarlett in particular didn't even ever seem clear why she needed the money. Pamela was similarly unclear why she needed the money to sell more product. The people who actually need to have 250K dropped up-front to kickstart their idea seem to have become the extreme minority.

The finals are always the most boring episode now. They should just not bother having a winner and continually replace the person who is fired and just keep having the first episode every week forever until there is a mass suicide in the house they put them all in but if one person was smart enough to just fake their death, they win the £250k .

goatface posted:Jesus, just how bad is the US version? Its incredibly terrible, though I last saw it when Trump was running it. Basically, almost every challenge came down to "Who of your rich friends can you convince to buy a doughnut for $5000" Its literally just celebrity fundraising. There was an amount of strategising in terms of holding back big celebrity friends for when you're PM, so that you get the win. I specifically remember Trump firing someone because they wouldn't call up their friend Bill Cosby to open up his pocket book.
