..and she never blinks?
..and she is foul-mouthed?
..and she is no great shakes in her bedroom
attire?
..and she's stupidly quarrelsome?

But let's not forget: she's self-made.

"Hello Jenny, it's Sir Alan here..."
Every week it's:
"Hello Jenny, it's Sir Alan here...."
"Hello Jenny, it's Sir Alan here...."

What's all that about?
All she does is sit and answer the flipping 'phone, as far as I know.
Perhaps, there's more to it!!!

Well, seeing as it's not even plugged in, definitely shaggersville. And another thing: they have a mock-up board room and reception in a huge studio near White City: the ones sitting outside would hear everything - so, presumably, they bring them in later and let them act for a bit. They do so much acting in this series you wonder what else they know.

Oh, the '110%' thing: just once I'd love someone to say either, 'Sorry, I only want 100%' or 'Can't you bladdy add up????' If you watch football matches that phrase drives you to a bladdy breakdown!

Oh gawd, the 'you're fired' bit after (no spoilers!): someone please uncross your legs! Agggh!

I haven't watched it for a bit. I'm assuming that the final task was to organise the catering before Tottenham Hotspurs' last match of the season?

Don't give the result away! Some might not have seen it yet!

Diggy darling - you are an angel
Well - I've seen it. Shall we wait around to see if any miserable sod is going to come on and tell us off for spilling the beans - or shall we let rip? (Talkin of beans).

Michelle is an android - who gives 110%? Maybe 1,000%? And isn't it weird that she can be foul mouthed and yet expressionless - in face and voice - passionless as she effs? and blinds?

Guess who won then, person still guessing? Guess who has not been held up for general slaggage - first time ever? Guess who was also in the final? Have you guessed yet?

Questions, questions????? Ha ha ha - I'm happy. At least she smiled at the end. ha!! That got you - person that missed it. Neither of them has a smile to spare for Christmas - for puppies - for Tommy Cooper! But - she smiled tonight, from ear to ear? Oh yes

Have you guessed yet?

Ha ha ha ha - for two reasons. 1 = the cynicism 2 = 'shaggersville' - ha ha - that tickled me, that did.

I know (cringe) - don't want to be unsisterly about this - but...I know. Just neatly fold them under the chair - how's that for an idea, dear?

She really is a supermarket check-out girl and has led eveybody up the garden path.
All this nonsense about earning £100,000 per year from "off-shoring" - whatever that is - is a load of codswallop for the gullible.
She never did really engage in a business manner with the tasks, IMHO

Yes! You're right! Damn right!

Funny isn't it - do nowt, have a drink downstairs and leave them to it when you're leading a task, dressing up in a mini skirt and slugging at your bottle of beer - swear like a trooper - stay focused!!

Worth 100 grand of any supermarket's money, that!

Pass the sick-bag

That continuous shot was utterly revolting!!!
So awful, in fact, I think the cameraman was doing it deliberately!!!

Says in my paper that 'both women have spent the last six months secretly working in his companies' and the task he's giving the winner is disposing of old computers in an environmentally friendly manner. 'We are going to turn it into a very, very big business'.

So Sir Alan's gawn green - and so has the badger - but for a different reason.

Sir Sid is wreaking some sort of revenge!!!IMHO

Notice how all the "professional" business people - the MBAs, the good degree people etc. - are eliminated in the early rounds?

I suppose his obsession with dumbing down is either a big chip or his experience that "professionals" are useless.

Too right. As the weeks went on we were left with all the dodgy cv-tweakers. Lack of creativity? - not on their cv's there wasn't.

At least Michelle's got a better deal than poor old Tim from last year. She'll be recycling computers, as opposed to recycling an ancient electrical face-lift device.

Yes.
I'd forgotten Michelle is a liar in falsifying her CV.
That is fraud - trying to gain a financial advantage by deception.
It should not be condoned by a "pillar of the community" as Sid likes to regard himself (as?)

Memo:
To "The Apprentice" programme makers:
For the next series, please:
1. Ban mad people.
2. Ban skirted female applicants who sit cross-legged.
3. Test applicants on the meaning of "per cent"
4. Ban applicants who use the phrase "World class" as in, eg, "I am a World class presenter"
5. Ban applicants who claim to be "self-made" at the age of 14.
6. Scots people with whinning voices.

Thank you.

I knew it!! I DID Now don't anyone spoil my Damascene, Eureka, lightbulb moment by doin a Duh! about this. I just knew he'd hire the badger - had to. I mean her belligerent, miserable face - those thighs! - and.......MONEY money money, kinda funny, it's a rich man's world.

You can see the dilemma. That woman sees a teeny diamond glinting in a steaming heap of shit - and she'd be up to the elbows, foraging it out, an all. Ha! He employed the Badger, he employed the Badger.....

Can we say who won official like, yet, Digs?

Hi Rothgar

Is this 'whinning' as in 'winning ways', whinning as in 'whining', or whinning, as in 'neigh, neigh, quit yer whinning, ye nag ye, och aye yoo gimme pain in the noggin, up ma kilt, ach yer rascal, ye'?? Scots voice type whinning?

And number 3 - damn right an all - they don't even know the meaning of 'whole' - bloody idiots. 100% - simple.

But Rothgar dear - surely not 1? 'Ban mad people'. Where would we all be without Jo? Stuck with the number shufflers who can't even add up to 100, and the 'in-your-face, door-to-door or on-the-streeters', selling dodgy wotnots no-one wants, ta very much.

I like mad, me

Hi coolana
Bloody, bloody edit, lack of
Should be whining - her voice was particularly raspng and horrible.
It is a criminal offence to falsify your qualifications, as in Sion Jenkins.

Bloody bloody edit ficalaties

Hear hear! Give us longer mods!

And yes - horrible voice, Lord love her, although to be honest - I quite liked 'whinning' - like a Scots nag That's why I pointed it out dear Rothgar - not to nit-pick, like that Dawg

I get the impression Sid doesn't quite know what to do with himself.
One minute he's splicing the main brace on his boat, another time he's visiting Spurs, another time, he's wandering around Tower Bridge like a lost soul.
I think he needs a purpose in life.
Pity Maggie is a bit non compos - they could keep each other company.
