The Apprentice 2019


The Minertaur

Recommended Posts

I'm not getting where everybody has Kayode down as a front runner?  Yes he's good at selling but the guy was awful at anything business related.  A rubbish public speaker and he always seemed to be confused by business matters.  Trying to price a job at £130 yesterday was an absolute joke.
 
Aye pretty much agree. The guy had absolutely no business sense. To maintain he at least got £130, even after it was pointed out it was a £70 loss, summed him up.

A likeable gobshite but he would have been torn apart in the interviews.

This is why I’m sad he’s been papped out. I’d have loved to watch him getting tied up in knots by the interviewers.

Probably the right decision to get rid of him, but the PM was fucking pointless as well. He’s the only one with any experience of any sort in that industry and he looked like he was incapable of running a bath.

This is nailed on that the guy who does this for a living will be absolutely fucking useless.

You called it - the big money job - had £2100 accepted but then did such a piss poor job (his fault because he didn't buy enough) that they were only willing to pay £400.

He was obviously attempting to make profit by doing things on the cheap but ffs that was an embarrassment. He should have been sent packing as well.

 Kayode will be the one to get a "You're Fired" prefaced with an "It's with regret" this year IMO. 

 

Called it. 

I can see why Kayode was fired but I don't understand how Tom survived. His consistently poor decision making was what cost them the task. Bought some pathetic flowers both quantity and quality wise for the corporate client and then backed out of doing the job himself at the last minute, leaving two there with no real experience of gardening at all. Sure Kayode made a big loss but the corporate client was where the money was in this task. Presumably, he must have known they'd already fucked it so wanted to go do a good job with the other team to try and salvage something. Was it his fault the van was late too? I would have been bringing this up as much as possible if I was Kayode if it was his fault as this obviously cost them too. 

Sometimes the tasks are quite niche in terms of the industry they're working in or the product they are selling so I try not to be too critical when they make a mess of it as they can't reasonably be expected to be experts but this is his bread and butter. 

Jackie and Khadija were pathetic. Shocked they got any money at all for their efforts on their first job. And Sarah Ann must have talked more on that task than the other tasks combined. 

Sian is the only one that has probably impressed me every week or at the very least hasn't had an absolute howler. Reckon she will be in the final 5 and the rest of the spots are up for grabs. 

Will be fun seeing them in Glasgow next week.

Classic Apprentice; people who aren't gardeners unable to do gardening to a professional standard. Absolutely pointless task. Pleased he went, he was doing my head in.

Set a side the programme is a series of situations designed to highlight their stupidity.

It could be argued that to succeed in business how you react outside your comfort zone is something a partner or employer might like to find out.

(It's the first one though)
