Hello, dear
In early series the prizes were holidays and stuff.

You know it's bad when the grotty caff of despair makes the prize look like poo poo.

lol at Sugar saying someone taking an interest in one of their items and saying it was nice was maybe too good to be true. That's literally how it works, you show someone something and they like it so they buy it. Good grief

Nah only sell to people who don't want your stuff. And before you start selling ask them if they have any money.

Nah working out if the person you're pitching to is allowed to buy them is a legit thing and the first thing almost any sales person will establish if it can't be assumed.

Remember that time when the girls flirted with the guys at the fish market to get a better price and suralan decided that was cheating and took away some of their money?

Good times.

I am a lady and this has happened to me.

I just thought it was hilarious that with all the intrinsic advantages men have over women in business that the one time women used the ONE thing they have that men don't (boobies) Sugar was like "NOPE THATS CHEATING". Because this show just wasn't sexist enough without the host getting in on that.

Yes because demonstrating the way women get ahead in business is to show cleavage is the progressive alternative vision the show was too sexist to explore.
Please drop this stupid line of reasoning.

e: no one said it was 'cheating' they were ruled against for behaviour not suitable for a business employee, something contestants of both genders have been smacked with before.

So that's how it's made...
I worked with Karthik about 6 or 7 years ago, not that closely, but I can guarantee no one at any point called him Big K. Many other things, maybe, but never any variation of K.

He was a mediocre computer server janitor, and joined us one time on a company-organised trip up Mt Snowdon. He kept badgering me to take photos of him in increasingly bizarre poses, a particular favourite being this number:



I hope he goes out soon. I can't watch much more of this nonsense.

HA, as I was watching him go on about that I couldn't help but think of Arnold 'Ace' Rimmer. Glad my hunch was correct.

A couple of attractive flirty ladies tricked me into letting them into my flat and changing my electricity supplier once. When I realised what happened afterwards I called up to cancel. I assume they got the finder's fee anyway, so everyone wins (?).

Also when I got broken into at the same flat the two policewomen that came around were also strangely flirty and attractive. Maybe I was being gang-stalked by pretty women??!

Edit: also enjoying the show so far. Not hatewatching yet!

Hello, dear
I do sometimes wonder to what extent appearing on this television programme harms contestants' careers afterwards.

Ask me about the shitty opinions I have about Paradox games!
The man who couldn't actually make the payment and them being shouted at for it was for sure the most annoying bit of the show.
Why was he talking to them about buying it if he isn't allowed to actually do it? Totally stupid.

The lady who keeps trying to be funny is quite annoying so far, I hope she's the "star" of one of the episodes so we can get to know her better.

And there's at least three people in that OP who I don't remember seeing whatsoever.
