Lee went right down in my estimation too when he was having a go at Sara having not even been on her team so having just listened to the likes of the three snakes (claire, alex, jennifer)
Yeah I know, what a f*ckin w4nker, I actually despise him mainly because I despise people like him, bullies, he`s physically intimidating to the others and uses it to his advantage with his aggressive posturing and demeanor, can read this mutha like a book, unfortunately I think he`ll win, sh1thouse.
The Ginger girl who looks like Zippy, she`s another c*nt but I don`t quite get the urge to fold her like a swan and stamp on her head as I do him above.
What makes me laugh is that within minutes of knowing the teams and the task they`re all there making sure they`re covering their own ar5es getting ready to zip anybody up the back, I don`t see any reason why we shouldn`t just napalm the b45t4rds.
Fair play to Raef though for sticking up for the girl, needed to be said imo.

I cannot beleive the lack of substance in the pack either
I know, and it's a real shame as the show would be much more interesting if the contestants were a serious & sharp minded. It doesn't bode well either for future episodes, people are going to be picked more and more for comedy value, or good looks, and, like big brother, this top bit of tv could be reduced to a boredom.
I would like to see Lucinda win

Lucinda or Raef as the most likely to get on in Alan Sugary's empire.
What a collection of choice moments that episode was, loving Raef's poshisms - single people being "almost a forgotten segment of the population" and "ostracized by the gift card industry", corkers.
After all that I can only say
COME ON!!!

For someone who doesn't like Raef, I was quite pleased that he stuck up for Sara last night, he is a gentleman and he showed it last night.
Lee, who was one of my favorites now needs to boot, what an arogant prick Sara wasn't even in his team for heavens sake

Raef's "speech" sounded great in the bedroom , but didn't seem to carry over to the actual pitch
And even if it had , it proved to me that he doesn't have a clue WRT selling (but to be fair ,this is true of all of them)
I am no salesman myself , but I have been forced to attend the odd sales seminar occasionaly - and the backbone of these seminiars always seems to be
LISTEN - (Raef had his pitch pre scripted , listening to the customer would have screwed up his "show" !! )
ESTABLISH THE CUSTOMERS REQUIREMENTS USING OPEN AND CLOSED QUESTIONS - (Again , so far I have not seen a single attempt to establish a customers needs in the whole series !! )
CLOSE AND LEAVE
This is the BASIC rule of selling that seems consistant in every bottom level sales course I have ever been on - yet all of the pitches I have seen , appear to be one of these idiots babbling on about their product while the customer looks on , looking bored ! I am convinced that the only sales are "scripted" anyway

Kevin obviously learned nothing from the 'did you know there are 6 million cat owners in the UK' from Nargis Ara in series 2, with his silly and patronising 'did you know there's 384,000 tonnes of rubbish thrown away every year' or whatever.

Yes me too, did you not find it odd how retail price was not mentioned at all during the clips of them pitching to the card companies?
I think the whole thing is a farce now, Sugar will make more than £100k from the BBC for the series so he doesn't actually give a **** who wins.
He also spends 6 months with the final two before the final episode is aired so the last task means nothing.

saras gorgeous
do you not think her eyesbrows are a bit uneven?
and agree with john that michael has probably done himself out of winning there as towards the last few weeks and he has said it himself Sir Alan starts thinking about who he could work with and who would work well with his company and not be the cause of friction and arguments, at the moment I can only see Raef as any good in that respect
hadnt even noticed to be honest, lost in her eyes

Ruth the badger would have walked that task - she was a selling master.
Is there anyone that has excelled in anything in this years contestants?
Any of them really stood out in any specific area's of expertise to you guys?

Raef in terms of social skills and man managment and knowing when to say something and when not to

If they'd have picked a more suiting occasion then they wouldn't have had to do much selling.
I have a friend who is a Jehovahs Witness and they don't celebrate birthdays. Got me thinking that really it's not our birthday we should celebrate but more rather celebrate the person who gave birth to us, so a "thank you for bringing me into this world" type card that someone buys on their birthday for their mother. I mentioned this to a friend of mine and she thought it was a wonderful idea and I now know that she makes her Mum a special card when it's her own birthday. I think something more suited like this that would be sold everyday of the year and not just one day or week. Kitty for the apprentice

Just watched this. Glad Kev went, he was really getting on my nerves ... his accent is all a little bit too close to home for me, he sounds like he should own a combine harvester
I LOL'ed when Michael went "COOOOOOM-AHHHNNNNNN!!!" in the boardroom!!
And what's next week? A trip to Morocco - another bloody episode where I think I should have applied to the programme! I know the Moroccan culture inside out and speak and understand colloquial Moroccan Arabic, I could've cleaned up 
Raef is still my Number One
