Junior Apprentice

[itsMIKEYY]

So, Junior Apprentice starts tonight, and this can be a thread for you to talk about the show, and predict winners etc. etc.


The candidates audition tapes are up. Why not take a look and get ahead of the game before tonight's show.

[Mathew]

Oooh it's on tonight? I'll be watching, a friend down south applied to be on the show but sadly he didn't make it.
I'm still waiting out for the main one though :(

Thanks! :)

[Misawa]

Looks insanely bad. Bring on the proper show, not kids in their dads oversized suits.

[dogboy123]

Won't be as good as the original one I don't think. Still gonna be funny!

[Judas]

optimistic as always ......

[MattFr]

Having seen the queue outside the interview, everyone on there looks like a ******.

[Sharon]

Was it a long queue?

Ah well I don't think Sugar baby will be as harsh?

[Tintinnabulate]

I wanted to apply but I was too old :(

Just saw all their tiny pics cos videos wont work for me :@ Hibah Ansary looks like someone who will ***** a lot about everyone and will want to be the boss. Wait just saw her video - finally worked - shes a moron. Hope she fails in weeks 1.

BBC site is really slow for me, or at least that page/folder... :(

[itsMIKEYY]

I applied, and got an interview in London, but i didn't go, because the interviews was during a holiday and the actual filming would've been right in the middle of my college year so basically i would've had to have thrown away my college course if i got through, so there wasn't any point.

[Tintinnabulate]

BBC site is really slow for me, or at least that page/folder... :(

Yeah same. Its odd, usually the BBC is very fast.

[dirrty]

lol some of the ppl look jokes

[Spiffing]

Kirsty Cleaver, in the year above me. Didn't know she was on it O_O
I loveee the Apprentice, hopefully this will be just as interesting :)

[dbgtz]

haha my wish came true, someone cried! :D i know its cruel but its entertainment
some of the people on here are really annoying (infact most of them are), especially that guy with the nasely voice.

[Mathew]

The blonde girl was fantastic at selling, I'm glad she told the other one to get lost.

All the boys are so odd. One has a constant blocked nose and the one who was fired sounded too much like Graham Norton for my liking! :P

yeah i thought she was well good. the leader was just jealous imo. that boy who was fired was well annoying, and the nasally guy looks like this weirdo at my college lolol

I didn't like that Zoe, she was far too competitive with her own team. Why is that the case? Shouldn't be happening.

At the boys, yes I definitely agree! I hated Jordan's voice though, arrrrgh!

[LoveToStack]

Kirsty Cleaver, in the year above me. Didn't know she was on it O_O

She looks like she's a got an extra chromosome.

The blonde girl was a tank at selling but she's really irritating. Fair dues it's a business show and there's only one winner but it doesn't hurt to be a team player, even if it's only for a bit. It was all 'me me me me me' although credit where it's due she couldn't half shift cheese to plebs on the street.
Laughed when the boys team made £40 all day and lost £200 on that "coffin" of expensive cheese. The team leader was arguing in the boardroom that Tim made the mistake of selling it for £250, which in retrospect was a stupid thing to do, but at the time on the other end of the phone they were wetting their pants because they made a sale.

Competitiveness raises their game, thats a good quality.

[Tintinnabulate]

What a bunch of idiots. They really act like idiots on that show apart from two.

[Favourtism]

Me and matt researched the kid who's left site. It doesn't exist no more and he runs a juice bar in Ireland (http://ie.linkedin.com/pub/jordan-de-courcy/11/407/39b).

His site was so poor, http://web.archive.org/web/20080216004833/http://2goenterprises.com/ , coded in tables and the content doesn't make sense :S

wow.

[immense]

mate some of those kids are bare annoying

Hahaha her voice on there is so fake. She's a nice person but she is really manly irl. she was told to delete her FB by the show so that the press can't get any of her info. that's random ;s

Half of the guys are so annoying. They all have massive big pink lips too :S They were all blaming one and other obviously because someone had to go but clearly it was a combined mistake.

[dbgtz]

i just thought that there must be some scripting involved in this now. Ok adults may argue properly and stuff like that but no way would 16 and 17 year olds be so posh and formal. thats my opinion

[MissAlice]

It was better than I imagined, a good task.

The blonde female 16 yr old, can't remember her name was a natural at selling on stalls, it showed and she shone, although she was very quick to blow her own trumpet in the board room and praise herself, so it will be interesting to see how she does with tasks that she isn't familiar with. Sibah the Project Manager, sat back to a certain extent and seemed resentful. It was suppose to be team work.

Unlucky for the guys, although I did think the lunch packs were an excellent idea, credit crunch lunch was a winner if only they had done their maths, and pitched better.

[ecstasy]

that sheep rearer will win

LOL.

He loved himself too much and tbh he can't run a proper business to save his life. He wont be able to work for anyone either as he thinks he is always right.

[Caution]

they're good at it but it's funny how stuck up some of them are :P

[wixard]

reece or whatever looked like he was gonna cry the whole time
he's so ugly i can't bare to watch

[itsMIKEYY]

What did you all think of last nights episode!?

Thank god Rhys has gone in my opinion.

[simplymagic]

was ite and good that reace has gone. But what happens to Adam? Has he left the show or just gone for the weekend :S Alan sugar is **** at explaining. I wanted adam to win :(

[Mathew]

Yeah I don't understand what has happened with Adam either.

Glad Rhys has gone, his voice just annoyed me so much :P

[dbgtz]

I think adam went because he was like "keep in touch" and "dont forget, you got here and thats an achievement enough" or w.e

yes no more rhys

i think tim has to be the most laid back. we need a joka

[kk.]

I hate how they have made their house. Why do they need bright colours and beanbags... They're 16/17!! Not 10!

[Neil]

I confused Tim is still in to be honest, he doesn't put half the effort in compared to the rest and Nick did almost nothing when it came to the team grilling Rhys, he was treated like rubbish on both days and Nick barely mentioned any of it.
Tim should of gone, the small girl whose name escapes me only barely got in because of the sales I think, considering she was as bad as the other two, if not worse really.

At least Adam is gone, he was a horrible team leader and was generally quite rubbish during the tasks as it is, I'd say it's a good chance Tims gone next week but I think Sugar kept him because he thinks he might have more confidence as a team leader, who knows.

It's called modern. Weird, I know.

They all make me laugh, saw Adam in the line outside the auditions, what a *** haha.

No it's called patronisation. They wouldn't have done that if it was the adult version. Also, I hate how he says 'you've done really well to get this far' blah blah blah

[itsMIKEYY]

What did you all think of tonights episode?

I'm watching it now on iPlayer because i was watching Big Brother.

Wish I had watched junior apprentice tbh, bb was awful.

[dbgtz]

it was quite good, the right people got through. I think Tim will win tbh.

[Mathew]

Arr forgot to watch it. Been intending to watch it all day but got caught up with other stuff!

Will watch on iPlayer tomorrow.

[Caution]

Zoe should have been fired, can't believe when she got back to the house she said Alan said lots of good things about her, haha. They were clearly ganging up on Arjun, he should win. :)

[immense]

what happened any1 wna give a brief overview for +rep?

agreed, i lol'd at their expressions when she said that tho

[kk.]

She was trying to psyche out the other two probably.

I definitely want to see one of the boys win. Zoes a ***** and the other one is too small and annoying.

[immense]

what happened any1 wna give a brief overview for +rep?

thanks guys lol

[Nemo]

thanks guys lol
went to amsterdan, interviewed a few diff products. Each team chose 2 but coudnt have same one. Tim n that small girl got a bike and this dog-attachment thing where u can let ur dog ride wit ur bike. and then the other 3 got a candle thing and these baby toys that could fold into other crap. Tim n the girl won by like 30 grand. The asiany girl got fired.

Lol!

Yeah i just finished watching it, was quite a good task. Tim did quite well for once, asking all the right questions and what not. Kirsty didn't really do much, I'm surprised shes still in it, and its so obvious she fancies Tim.
I really hope Zoe doesn't win, because she is incredibly annoying, and just horrible. And Arjun (sp?) I'm not sure about, but I think he may be too nice to be Lord Sugar's apprentice.

[brandon]

Can't believe Emma Walker got fired. She's sooo purrrty. I mean she cried when she got fired and she sells eggs and sweets. Adorable.

[kk.]

I just found out what the prize is.. Pretty rubbish tbh lol

[2uettottanta]

This is the first time I've ever watched every episode of a show like this.. I'm definitely applying next year, I would own every one of them. Zoe will win btw.

[Inseriousity.]

what happened any1 wna give a brief overview for +rep?

emma got fired. that's it :P

LOL at arjun's face when the other team got 39,000 or whatever it was! can't stand zoe, think she should have gone but she's also the only one making the whole thing interesting so kinda glad she's still in as well! Also 6 episodes isn't enough, they need more tasks! :(

also, anyone else think 'sir alan' sounds better than 'lord sugar'!!

[kk.]

test to see if new posts appear.....

[LouisCollins]

That zoe is a stuck up ...##### FARM boy to WIN tbh

[kk.]

at least tim doesnt actually look like a kid lol. Hes at least normal height :P

[Lost_Addict]

Arjin or Tim to win, Zoe is a *cough* and the other one is so forgetabble i can't think of her name :P

anyway ya that 39k was like the most anyone had every made on that show acording to Sugar boy

[kk.]

the thing is though, they wouldnt have even made that much if it wasnt for Arjin forcing the negotiation. No one even wanted the dog products yet that's what sold!

[Lost_Addict]

To be fair though Arjin didn't force the negotiating lol, from his point of view he didn't think the dog beds would sell and he thought wrongly, theres always mistakes in buisness.

[kk.]

yeh i know, but what i was meant to be getting at was the highest ever total in the boardroom was a fluke, and that neither of them saw the opportunity. If they knew which of shops they were going to be going to, they should have thought luxury. products are likely to sell.

[Nemo]

£25k is pretty nice!

yeh i know, but what i was meant to be getting at was the highest ever total in the boardroom was a fluke, and that neither of them saw the opportunity.

[kk.]

well thats what business is like, some ppl get super lucky. damn them!

yeh but, its not 25k really, its 25k to spend on a venture, a product. not into the pockets. especially since if some of them applied a year later they would get on the adult show..
and yeh but still, he cant say they must have some good business sense for that task if no one even wanted it :P

[Nemo]

well they'll begetting more than £25k if they aint dumb. I wouldnt mind having £25k to invest in stuff, infact id love it. And they probably wouldnt get onto the adult show coz then they'd be too young and considered inexperienced compared to veryone else.

and yeh fair enough,

and yeh fair enough,

yeh so would i, but its still not that great compared to a six figure salary for at least a year. And ye, but, yknow, they couldve, and they could have applied in a few years after theyd done their degree etc.

[Nemo]

ah well, they still young, doesnt matter. Plus theyd probably have him as a contact anyway

[dbgtz]

But think of it this way, they win money (to some extent) and the adults win a job which they could potentially get by applying to a normal job. That's what the apprentice is really, a job application.

[Fez]

Kirsty's voice is so dreamy, Scottish deliciousness.

Tim to win though, because he's Tim.

[Sharon]

Tim :') Can't wait :)

[Nemo]

cmon arjun son!

[Sharon]

i feel he doesnt have much confidence ;l

[Mathew]

also, anyone else think 'sir alan' sounds better than 'lord sugar'!!
Lord Sugar sounds so odd after hearing him being called Sir Alan for so long :P

Just watched last nights episode on iPlayer - Zoe was being so temperamental. I hate it so much when she rolls her eyes, just waiting for someone to deflate her ego in the board room tonight.

Tim should win my opinion. He isn't too big headed, he's down to earth and he is very good at business and new ideas.

[Eight.]

Adam was ill and he left. But I thought I saw him.

[Mathew]

Adam was ill and he left. But I thought I saw him.

They've all come back to help out the 4 remaining people (2 teams).

[Sharon]

come on tim :D

[dbgtz]

arjun is such a bof lol

TIM2WIN

it will be tim

*** ITS ARJUN
DOUCHEBAG IS LORD SUGAR, TIM GOT 37 BLOODY THOUSAND

[Mathew]

Arjun won.

Shoulda' been Tim!! :P

[Sharon]

AMG IM PRETTY HAPPY FOR HIM XXXXXX

[Nemo]

YEY ARJUN! AWesome.

[dbgtz]

The question is now: will the junior apprentice happen again? The stats were like half viewers of the normal apprentice.

[PaulMacC]

Tim is a nice guy but he hasn't got the academic side that Arjun had. I'm pretty disappointed they didn't hug each other or something cause they were bro's the whole way through it.

[Fez]

Funny how the private-schooled prefect perfect wins instead of the hard-working confident potential of Tim. His potential is bigger than Arjun in everyway, but he apparently lacks the qualifications. Need I remind Lord Sugar he left school at the age of 16 with no academic qualifications.

To be honest. Arjun lacked confidence, Tim lacked academics. I think Arjun gained more confidence as the show progressed but Tim showed no sign of academic improvement.

[immense]

Arjun made more progress than Tim, end of. Arjun makes more money off the show than Tim. Arjun wanted it more.

[Camy]

i'm kinda gutted yous didn't put who won in spoilers, totally ruined it for me, but yeah why was it on tonight instead of next wednesday? i cant find it on iplayer yet either :S

[Cheryl]

this, jake is completely right.
I love arjun.

Arjun was hardcore.

We don't have to put it in spoilers because it's aired :) sorry lol

Arjin could actually use the money straight away. He runs a company and can expand quickly. I bet alan saw something in him that he sees in himself because of the computers lol

[Camy]

The apprentice thread on the final night... hmmmmmmmm. i wonder what will be discussed!
I thought it was on next wednesday, so i didnt know.

Gutted lol, ah well I'm gonna watch it on bbc three anyway, see what happened.

[kk.]

Gutted lol, ah well I'm gonna watch it on bbc three anyway, see what happened.

dont worry lol, it was ruined for me too. My sister came in and was like 'cant believe she won' iw as like thanks.... then it turns out that they couldnt win, and i was like oh lol. i ended up going on my phone on the internet, and went to google news. Not realising of course.. i clicked a link and read the link under and told me who won... so i ruined it for myself lol

[Tintinnabulate]

Lord Sugar didn't say (on the show) that Tim didn't win due to a lack of qualifications? Either way, Tim was clearly trying to avoid being PM for as long as possible to reduce his chances of getting fired. In a way that's tactics and maybe his lack of confidence. He said he thought he thought he would be fired in Week 1 so that type of thinking isn't great. Tim has some great qualities, but Arjun was overall better. I said on Day 1 that he would win and he did :D.

[cocaine]

i'm kinda gutted yous didn't put who won in spoilers, totally ruined it for me, but yeah why was it on tonight instead of next wednesday? i cant find it on iplayer yet either :S

cant keep everyone happy, im not spoilering everything i write because i dont use the advanced reply button lol

[Shar]

The right person won. His speech was brilliant.

[Seany]

I wanted Tim to win tbh.. be really proved himself in the final task which is what your meant to do, not saying the other guy didn't, but I just think Tim really came out of his shell and worked his ass off for this final task to try and win ;]

Also, don't moan that people ruined it for you, if you didn't wanna know, you wouldn't read the thread, simply as that, I didn't watch it till last night and purposely didn't look at this thread, otherwise it would of been spolied, so it is your own fault if you choose to look at it ;]

[Jordy]

Tim was utter rubbish in the first few weeks let's not forget, he was incredibly lazy and cutting cut cheese because it was too windy lmao. He was playing a game the whole time which seemed to work quite well, but Lord Sugar clearly saw through it, the only reason he wasn't fired early on was because Nick realised he's actually pretty decent even though he didn't act it.

Arjun has been consistently good throughout the whole series, he's clearly very academic, pretty good at selling too (Not quite up to Zoe's standard but he did sell a £3k painting which is more than she did) and creative it would seem. The right guy won it I thought, if Tim was as good as he was in the last few episodes throughout the series then maybe him.

[Describe]

Can't believe Emma Walker got fired. She's sooo purrrty. I mean she cried when she got fired and she sells eggs and sweets. Adorable.
There is definitely something random about selling eggs & sweets. I thought they'd just say she worked in a corner shop but obviously not!

[Arron]

The highlight of the Junior Apprentice was Adam Eliaz's unbelievably rubbish effort in creating a cardboard box which was on the market for £20. He said "Personally I would buy it"
This was from the camping task.
Anyone remember?
Whatta looney, cardboard box with games and a shoe compartment made of cardboard lmao

[Sameer!]

Arjun deserved to win it, he was truly better then the other academcially as well business.
