On again tonight......................
****ing yay.
Love it love it love it. I mean it's shite but it's great all at the same time. Let the ****witery commence.
So far, 8 cocks, 1 dweeb, 4 bitches, token northerner. Yup, gonna be a classic .
That lipstick is AWFUL!
Challenge 1: go to Europe and negotiate a Brexit deal 😆
Farkin yes! This programme makes me feel like a god in a world full of utter tools. Like a business expert and corporate troubleshooter extraordinaire. Bring on the fame hungry shit sniffers!
Let the procession of preening, clueless bellendery commence. They’ve look like they’ve got some absolute prime cockwombles this time out
Mrs F loves this🙁
I have a general apathy for this kind of tv these days, X factor, strictly even the only way is Chelsea but I didn't realize how strongly I felt about this display of bellendery!
An absolute shower of talentless nobbers, shouting look at me and stabbing each other in the back at the slightest sniff of approval from Lord beardface. Waste of fresh air the lot of them.
Ok then. Which one's going? My money's on a bloke. Probably one of the cocks. Not the one with the teeth.
That women's team was horrendous to watch. Shouting over each other, no planning... And Botox lips is possibly the most annoying person on the planet.
Yay, Shouty Botox Lips is off. I'd have fired all of them.
Fish-lipped token northerner is particularly awful!
Dont they keep the gobby northerner in for a while though?
She’s safe
I'm delighted that I haven't lost my magic touch with picking the likely loser. Qv last year's thread if you want to check...
Strangely made the right decision for once, they usually fire the slightly normal ones first. The one in green started pulling some crazy faces like Arnie in the fat suit in Total Recall under pressure.
Now I remember why I stopped watching it.
It was painful.
They’re all truly hideous human beings. As usual.
It made the peroni run out.
No big chebs.
I'm out.
Doubtless some right tits, though.
Jackie should have gone, came across as a truly horrible person...well, stood out from the other horrible folk.

Can we stop using their names? It somehow humanises then, and that's a step too far for me.
"The teeth", " the lips", "the one in the green dress who needs to wear support pants" is where we need to be.
The one in the green dress sold her company for 3.5bars in 2016.... little wonder she gives a 1234.... she might prove to be good value in the weeks to come.
Thanks for the warning ..time for some catch up tv.
Gobby Northerner was horrid. And I'm a gobby northerner.
Chopper central again...it’s so bad and cringeworthy that I quite enjoy it. The lass from Manchester with the silly lips was a tool, but Jackie who thre the other girl under the bus by nominating her as PM was pretty unpleasant.
the lads have their fair share of weapons.
Great fun, I wasn't going to watch it this year cos it's so bad and all the same but I say that every year and still watch. It's a great communal viewing experience in our house as we can all gather round and take the piss, and I can get some cheap laughs from wife and son which is a rarity
Love the way the token mad rush buying off a list round (equivalent to the cuddly toy in the generation game conveyor belt) was just transplanted to Malta just to freshen it up
Some great tools we can all hate watch. I'm in
Jasmine the pm was cool as ice in the boardroom I was impressed and LBH fit
I wanted the mad northerner to stay, she was as mad as a bucket of frogs. Quiet snidey one gets to live another day.
Token Northerner? All the women were Northern, except the strange Irish / Scot / American woman.
I remember the contestants in the first series or two being vaguely admirable. Now they're simply a shower of c$%^s
This show brought us Katie Hopkins and you still watch it? You are ****
Interesting causal link, eddie.
It's the way I roll. I actually did type four asterisks. For a forum that claims to despise such programming there does seem to be a lot of discussion of it. Obviously when I pull the sword from the stone and become King this kind of thing will be banned. Doctor Who repeats featuring Jenna Coleman will be the only permitted TV.

It does?
Mrs Gti (an experienced diver) and I watched the boys buy the octopus in sheer disbelief. Congratulations to the programe makers for having assembled possibly the biggest shower of preening, vain, self-serving cockwombles yet for the show.
I don't usually watch it because I hate the bad image it gives business; young people watching this must get the impression that a job in sales or just business is full of nasty back-biting idiots when in fact it's usually only psychopathic company owners and directors who display these tendencies.
It does?
Yes. And all that is being shown is a desire to revel in the carny freak show or prod the dancing bear with sticks yet claim it is all done with a high degree of detachment.
£5 for a donut with chilli sauce on it? only in London
Chill donut .... only in London ??
But it wasn't, was it ?.... that was the point ??
However .... Brady's face when the "emotional lad" bit into said chill donut... !! Up there with the Manc dad from gogglebox.
£5 per donut and the winning team made about £15 each gross profit for their long day's work.
Like probably everybody else outside Hoxton and Shoreditch, I was gobsmacked that you could charge someone a fiver for a donut simply by adding the word ‘Artisan’ before it. 😳
Then I wondered about moving down there and setting up a business selling ‘Craft’ toilet rolls and Artiisan’ sprouts
And to think, my Mrs was hemming and hawing about buying the kids a 29p Lidl donut apiece.
How the other half live, eh?
If its about pride in making a quality product why not have pride in using an adjective rather than a noun to describe it? Or are they only for artisans? Tossers.
artisanal
/ɑːˈtɪzən(ə)l/
adjective
relating to or characteristic of an artisan.
"artisanal skills"
(of a product, especially food or drink) made in a traditional or non-mechanized way.
"artisanal cheese
Totally forgot i started this thread,
FRANKS GONE,
and the price of Donuts, 6 for 65 p in Tesco, not a fiver, also some great characters,
thankfully we dont need to interact with any of them.

Im pretty sure that most residents of Hoxton and Shoreditch wouldn’t either binners. Certainly not for the rubbish produced last night.
Its all staged anyway, I’ll bet the producers are cajoling passes by to spend a bit of cash for the chance of 5 seconds in TV. And parts when they are ‘selling’ to businesses are so contrived.
This year they seemed to have down the impossible and found even less credible candidates than before.
Will still watch until the interview stages though, beyond there I can bear it no longer.
Anyone watching tonight?
They are selling art.
Genius.
My cringe gland can’t tolerate the stimulation, so watching Kevin McC on 4.
They are selling art.
They are talking over the owner of an expensive bespoke music system who is busy demonstrating said system by playing some beautiful classical music through it.
"Is it surround sound?"
No, it's a ****ing iphone - what do you think it is?!
/facepalm
What annoys me about this is that it's all to do with selling and pitching, nothing to do with things like customer satisfaction. Everything seems like a seagull project - come in, flap around, squawk a lot, shit over everything and then leave it in a mess.

Isn't that the point of the program and what makes it entertaining? I'm not sure it even pretends to be a serious program about finding Sugar a business partner - that's just a device really to give it all some context. I love it. Those facepalm moments are why people watch it.
There were a couple of classics on last night's episode:
<discussing a sculpture of a horse> 'It's inspired by nature'
and
'You're a work of art - unfortunately a still life'
lol
One of my favourite exchanges so far was from early on in this series.
When negotiating the purchase of some wine;
apprentice "What is the total cost?"
vendor "59 euros"
apprentice "Will you take 58.99 ?"
vendor "er..yes"
Maybe we should have used him for the Brexit negotiations.

But that is why the programme exists. Sensible people making good decisions and being successful isn't very exciting.
Hee hee! Covered in nut juice?!
Don't fancy her with or without nut juice. Can't see her winning.
Is Australia in Asia? 😂
