Nah, Natalie said that, very loudly and obviously, while they were only half out the door. Because she's professional.

And yet seemed stumped that a retailer would look at %age discount from retail to make purchasing decisions.

Hello, dear
Correct person got fired imo. She was poo poo at faking illness, any fat child in the country faking their way out of PE could put her to shame. Also, snottydink made me think of... the thing they were able to reference on Red Dwarf without getting into trouble. :/

Yeah, it was. I've done a bit of book writing and illustrating for children and was really interested to see how they would handle this episode. I dunno what I was expecting, but both the books looked crappy as hell, with the Stinkydink one just winning out for the images. That percentage woman was kind of a cow TBH, do you think they asked her to be extra mean and demanding to them?

You can take 150 copies at £4.20, or 50 copies at £3.50.

Great bulk deal there Selina.

I wonder how skewed the sales process was given that the shop owners probably knew they were being approached by Apprentice contestants being filmed for an episode. If I were approached I'd buy a bunch of copies for sure regardless of how poo poo the product is or how inappropriate it is for my store knowing I could probably sell them to curiosity seekers when the episode airs.

Same. I assumed I was being dumb.

Even independent book retailers usually have a discount floor at ~45% and would be looking at 52-55% for anything 'bulk' or for promotion.

Which is just to say the whole concept of them actually selling them to the retailers is bunk put on for camera; which is logically obvious anyway.

Hey, gang. How's tricks?

I'm slowly catching up with this, just watching episode 2 now, storyboarding cool adverts in my head. Rough tough cowboy with gritty sandy hair chops the top off a cactus, squeezes out the juice, squeezing cactus morphs to bottle of shampoo, shot of hair washing in a river or whatever, shot of nice shiny hair, boom. Task won.

I'm amazed that the teams consistently make mistakes we've seen over and over again for years. Does nobody watch the show before they apply?

They must have a run of books done - so where do they go? Split between contestants and the BBC crew? You'd think trickling out a few on Ebay would be lucrative.

At this point, they must use this question as a filter during the applications. Anyone stating 'yes' or showing knowledge of previous years goes straight in the bin.

Glad Natalie went to be honest, I know it was probably the selective edits but her constant outraged expressions were starting to irritate me and her pitching has been laughably poor given its one of her key skills apparently. Bonus lols when she spent the taxi ride slagging off Brett, surpassed my hope of a 'Lord Sugar will be begging to get involved with my business this time next year' gold.

David definitely a front runner I think, doesn't piss anyone off and seems like a cuddly puppy of a man, yet smashed it when he was PM.
