The Apprentice

[grimlock]

Thoughts?

I loved the way Sam approached the game, and tried to sell that lemonade for $1000. He'll go very far in the game IMO. Lots of fighting and bitchslapping to come by the looks of the previews! BTW, what a crappy name the men came up with, Versacorp. Pffft, how bland and insipid.

I watched some of it but then The Osbourns got the better of me!

I really like it so far, although I think it'll get better as it goes along.

Same episode is repeated on Saturday night I believe.

 

[Runk]

I watched it only to see the human comb over strut his wealthy stuff! That bloke may have the worst hair in the world but damn is he the man!

 

[Eriiin]

... but my god his house was just way too ostentatious, really quite disgusting actually.

 

[Joel]

I liked it, and will continue to watch it.

Having said that, it's surpising that some of those guys have MBAs but seemingly have no idea about marketing (ie. brand, pricing, promotion etc). What's the point in dong and MBA if you don't put your knowledge to use?

I liked the way Sam approached it, he thought outside the box, whereas most of the others, were pretty stupid, particularly the guy with the MD, and MBA (David) - if someone was running after me, and annoying me, I'd tell them to **** off.

What was wierd though, was how they all ganged up on Sam, what was the go there? Is it the fact that he thought a little differently?

 

[Eriiin]

I think they were all just sheep. After the first guy said it, it was then safe for them to think the same and not get attacked by anybody else in the group.

 

[Katthawk]

The Trump was the only good bit. I didn't see much but as for the lemonade selling well the 'girls' were complete hypocrites.

Talk about supposed feminists who would just 'be themselves'. What garbage. Sex sells baby and if you deny it you just look damn stupid. It's no wonder they did better than the blokes. Looking forward to the next episode to see more squealing and kissing ass from the girls and more macho, muscle, chest beating from the men.

Absolutely kiss ass show. I wanna live in New York!!

 

[Joel]

Just on that; I told my girlfriend that the girls were unfairly using the 'sex sells' routine to sell the lemonades. I think if Trump is looking for a genuine person, he will look beyond that.

I noticed that at the end of the episode when they give us a sneak peak of the next episode, they said Trump was going to roast girls. Any bet, that it is about that.

 

[TheBloods]

I thought it was interesting and will probably keep watching it just to see what hoops they have to jump through.

Trump is such an arrogant pr!!ck and who does he think he is with that dead furry animal on his head - Daniel Boone?

His apartment was disgusting - looked like the foyer of a flashy and ostentatious hotel. Then again, it's not surprising - his buildings are ugly. I've been in Trump Tower and it's an eyesore.

Sam was absurd with all his playacting - standing up in the boardroom, crawling along the floor, tell Trump was his father's and mother's names were... hope he loses.

That the girls would win the first contest was pretty obvious - how can the guys compete with sex - it sells!!

From the ad for next week I gather they try that tactic again, and good old Donald isn't too happy!!

I'd agree with that, that was going a bit too far, but I still like the bloke (at this stage).

 

[Katthawk]

The show just has to get better. It's an intriguiging idea no doubt and while they're all good lookers (well most) it's a change from the shagging shows going round. Bit of useful knowledge doesn't hurt.

What was also great is it is in the middle of a great run of TV on Ch9 on Tuesday:

8:30 - CSI
9:30 - The Apprentice
10:30 - The Sopranos

Finally some good stuff back on TV!!

Not surprisingly I think he was a DotBomb guy - a real shiny-suited salesman!!

Ah Tony Soprano, biggest gutter mouth. Love it.

 

[dreampolice]

Good stuff and great fun , i believe Sam goes quite far.... and the dark bird does to but how far? i wont say.
Loved it !

 

[Joel]

The crap thing is, Ch9 haven't really told anyone when Stingers is going to come back on. Stingers is one of my favourite shows.

I was disappointed with it. I was hoping to see my field of expertise finally hit the big time!

The world's biggest property developer, and I didn't see one single Discounted Cash Flow Analysis, Capitalisation Valuation or Hypothetical Development Approach.

I mean, what's up with that??!

 

[Braddock]

Bloody Letterman's already ruined the end of this show for me. Ah well, I'm sure it'll be an entertaining watch anyway.

 

[Karbassiyoon]

Survivor, Apprentice and Soprano's were big big winners last night

8.30 not the best slot but i needed an hour break in there.

That'd make great TV!!

Imagine watching guys punch numbers into spreadsheets and putting together fat glossy pitchbooks!

About as entertaining as Big Brother!!

The girls could do it naked and gain some rating points though!

 

[Pessimistic]

Capitalist pig wannabees.

Hope they all get screwed over like those sad get rich losers who go on ACA.

The most corruptable one will be the winner of course
