It was very rewarding to see Sir Alan understanding exactly what Jenny is all about - I feared that when she did go she'd get away with it and go for a silly mistake or something , Sir Alan even used the word "Snake" - Excellent !!
yep, glad she got some comeuppance, she is just a bizarre character
and imo raef knows when to take a step back and keep quiet which serves him well
I love watching justice being served.

Interestingly enough, I did hear a director of a Large UK company say that anyone who's actually gone on that programme, rather than starting their own company, is almost certain to be almost exactly the sort of person they're NOT looking for. They want a self-starter who achieves well in a team environment and "does it for themselves". Not someone who expects it all to drop in their lap because they spent a few weeks making a spectacle on themselves on the telly whilst undermining everyone and whining nonstop!
It's great entertainment, but I really think the participants are chosen by the TV channel. If you look at Siralan's two "observers" on the show those are clearly the kind of characters he likes. But they wouldn't exactly make great TV, now, would they?
Yes, good point,. Personally I'd be very interested in seeing genuine "high flyers" battle it out, - not only would I find it interesting, I'm sure i'd learn something  for me it would make good telly.

Some of the haggling scenes with Claire were reminissant of when I took my girlfriend to buy some new cars...
Me - The Alloys are scuffed and the tyres bald, knock the replacements off the price and you have a deal.
Girfriend - It's ok we can just swap the wheels round to get more wear, and the alloys aren't even that scuffed anyway, we'll take it.
Never again.

Definitely
You know what suralan's like at reminissing, she probably reminds him of a childhood bleedin' sweetheart

I hope Alex is exposed in the same way as Jenny too
Much as I dislike Clair , we all watched them preparing to enter roleplay as Boyfriend / Girlfirend , and the prepared the things they were going to say ...
Then Alex turns this around and says Clair's comments "came from nowhere"
....He then goes on to categorically deny any knowledge of the "roleplay" thing afterwards !
This is something that seems to be reccouring every week , Alex lying to get himself out of holes - this has already lead to him being "shamed" by Margaret in the boardroom already - yet he STILL does it every week !
I hope this is brought to light and he is slaughtered on the basis of it !

Again Raef was great
Guys like Raef wind me up ! - everything simply goes right for them with little intervention from themselves , and then everyone falls over themselves to say how great he has done
Example , the Cowhide (as best as I can remember)
VENDOR - "Here we are , how much will you pay"
RAEF -"Well , we were told around 800"
VENDOR -"{talks to collegue} - 250"
RAEF -{Obviously alarmed at the price and showing it - not good !! } 250 ?? 250 ??? are you saying 250 ?? (giggles in awe) Two hundred and fifty Dirham.......... "
............ and no doubt the headline will read that this prove Raef is a top class negotiator
That's the Raef effect.
I've heard Lynx are making a new deodorant based on this phenomenon.

lol, it did seem to take him-a-back, he hardly hid his shock, there's a video on the bbc apprentice website where the guy who sold him that cowhide comes up to him after and starts begging for money

did you notice raef 1% smile at the start was when lee was all like "comeee onnn leettt'sss aaavvvv ddiiss and let's SMMMIILLEEE" raef managed to just curl his top lip slightly, so amusing
and agree with the terrible negotiating, and agree claire is such a waste of space and had such an annoying face and voice...the way she tails off the last words of every sentence....urgh
LOL at the 1% smile... he just wouldn't allow himself to get giddy... not the done thing. The 1% was to humor Lee the gob Mcqueen and his stupid noises.
Claire... yes I noticed LOL
Next week she is going to annoy everyone to death when she says, "maybe I should get a boy-frrrrreeeiiinnnndddddddddddd"
With a nickname like "pit bull chewing a wasp" or whatever she said she's got fcuks chance ha ha.

They agreed that on the first item they haggled for, and after that went pear shaped they all agreed to kept thier mouths shut and let alex bid alone on the next item. So when claire opened here mouth and started bidding she went against what they all agreed on.

I've just watched this on the iPlayer.
Absolutely horrified that none of them knew the difference between halal and kosher
I actually think Margaret and Nick come out with some of the best one liners in the whole programme! I liked Margaret's little snub about Michael going to Edinburgh University hehehe.
Raef was his usual suave and sophisticated self  Obviously his biggest worry was that he didn't have his linen suit to hand!
