I can't wait to hate every single one of them, and to long for the return of that guy who looked like Frank Sidebottom.

According to the BBC, Dan Callaghan worked for and MEP, not as one. Which makes him slightly less of a twat.

None of them look absolutely mental which is a bit of a shame but I'm going to be rooting for the look at him guy for obvious reasons.

yay! I just posted about this in the UK TV thread without bothering to check if anyone had started a thread. Why do they always look so ANGRY, why is business=ANGER and sharks and nasty animals. Judging purely on the pictures and what the OP says, I am going to back Jenny and Charlene (liable to change at any point), with the comedy outlier support going to Ruth, who reminds me a lot of my late Aunt. And how is this guy 23. He looks like a French pop singer from the Eighties. I'm not even joking. (edit-being French this video has bums and boobs galore so may not be work safe) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HwsNZHRycw0 goddamn I love mid-Eighties French Pop. edit- oh and Romesh Ranganathan is joining 'You're Fired'...took me a while to warm to his style of humour but I think he'll be good on it.

He looks so sad, like a kicked puppy. Suppose I should link the bingo card, mainly so I can find it in future. Any changes needed/suggested to it? Here's the list it pulls from. Nettle Soup fucked around with this message at 16:13 on Oct 14, 2015 |

PREDICTION TIME Charleine looks tough and should give the others a run for their money. Might have a good shot if her business idea isn't disgracefully poo poo.

Gonna throw my vote in for Ella and her wonky eyes. I have not watched any of the pre-show stuff and I've ignored the trailers, this is entirely due to me throwing darts at the op. Woo go Ella.
