1. Currently the most prevalent form of decision-making in the western world

2. While you are correct in saying that the society owns

3. You have not for a second demonstrated here why

4. I love the way that you equate "state" with "bureaucracy". Is that how you really feel about the state
I listened to audio only for 80% of this episode. It was simply too unbearable to watch. The "comedy" part of dreadful. You'd have to be on some heavy medication for it to be funny. What the gently caress were they thinking? The fat daddy bollocks, on the other hand, was just sad. Sad, sad, sad. Not funny, not cringe-worthy, not painful, just sad...

Is it difficult to get verified, do twitter keep turning them down so they ring back and try again?

I couldn't find their twitter as it stands, do you think they're not posting to it until they can post from a verified account?

Also the most awkward scene of anything so far was when Sarah was on You're Fired and started questioning one of the panel about their dating experience and clearly making them very uncomfortable. Dara did an amazing job of deflecting that one quickly.

The person is the first result of you search for them

You get verified if you're considered a public figure and have multiple people trying to pretend to be you from what my mate told me when he refused to get The Big Taff Man verified

The editing in this series is weird as hell. I watched it with three other people, and all four of us genuinely didn't recognize Pamela as a contestant at all, which is bizarre after week one. Then the camera finds her every 5 seconds for a go-to reaction shot of something, all episode.

Maybe she does something next week that's of some importance and needed us to know who she is. :iiam:

Is "That's not my [arbitrarily defined and highly specific] area" a bingo space already? Because god drat are they leaning on it hard this season as an excuse.

Some great ones this season:

"Yes, I produce videos, but I don't upload them"

"Nuren I thought you would be good at selling because your business is as a market stall owner, and this was selling off a market stall"
"Yes but that's in Peterborough, this is in London"

There's a couple more that slip my mind.

Ah ok I see why that's ridiculous then unless they do win. It's hardly enough of a claim to fame otherwise.

I just watched the episode and I am so very sad that Steven got fired. He was the best. The worst part about it is that I now have to find someone new to support and that means learning someone's name.

I thought both the videos were rubbish. Luckily Solomon decided to go for the highest profile youtuber to work with. It might have been childish prop comedy, but at least it was better than a lot of fit people calling someone fat. Very inspiring weight loss program.

You know all those women have been stewing over Sarah's short-skirts-and-lipstick comments for weeks.

I'm actually a bit gutted that more didn't come out of that. A proper argument in the boardroom with snide comments from Karen would have been glorious. Instead it was just a throwaway remark.

Steve is at least entertaining, Ella Jade is just irritating.

I'm hoping they don't spunk the opportunity for a triple firing up the wall with a bunch of double firings though, and this is a pretty good line-up for it.

e:nooooooooooo, stevennnn
Irritating and a half!
He had to tell her she was fired 3 times. Therefore he made the right decision.
Steven is, or was entertaining but as a Canadian I cringed that he was in any way representative of this country :canada:
And his nursing home business plan didn't seem well thought out or something that would add to Lord Sugar's wealth.

And that Fat Daddy concept was truly horrible.

It's pretty much a given that these people are goaded by the producers and encouraged to do things they wouldn't otherwise do for the sake of "good TV." Plus they're just average people so they are nervous and self-conscious in front of the cameras but trying to appear confident in spite of that. Mix that with some good ol' editing out their decent moments and they look like nutters.

They're all probably much more reasonable people than we've been led to believe.

Sure editing can achieve a lot, and if you try to be objective you can see the show runners essentially create the narrative completely in editing, but if you point a camera at someone doing a pitch and they're all over the place, that's a pretty reasonable representation of what happened.

Unless the room was on fire or something and they just cut around it, then there's not much explanation as to why Apprentice candidates feel a pitch is 5% facts you cribbed in the car, 5% buzzwords you can remember from CISCO adverts, and 90% yelling. make that 100% yelling as candidates always strive to give 110%.

The reason being that they aren't very good at business or business related things. They're picked because they aren't at all talented. It's not really their fault.
