Apprentice

[karohemd]

- Of all the firees, why did they bring back Kevin and Jenny, the two biggest scewups? I'd really wouldn't want them on my team...

- "He clearly shaves his balls"

- As none of my original favourites are left, I'll have to root for Clare.

- Lee/Clare's commercial looked cool but might be a bit too classic and also sexist.

- I think Alex/Helene have a very good chance. The bottle might be their stumbling point, though. Suralan doesn't like over-finnicky (and expensive) stuff. They certainly have the wow factor.

- Ooh, my stumbling point theory was spot on. Stop bitching, Helene.

- Simon likes to be managed by Clare, eh? ;o)

- Bah.

I recorded it on our PVR because I was out. Nessa (margo31) watched it live so knew the result when I got home. Before I watched it, she asked me to rank them in the order I thought they'd come. I said:

1. Claire
2. Alex
3. Helene
4. Lee.

Bah.

Kevin, or Daffyd as I prefer to think of him... now he stood no chance of winning, I found his egocentric verbal masturbation quite hilarious.

I was also rooting for Clurr. I like Lee (a bit), but I'm surprised he won.

I think the best quote I heard about Clurr/Lee's campaign was "unremittingly 80's". As for the sexism, so what frankly? It's a perfume ad aiming for machismo and sex appeal, with James Bond as a de facto role model. If you take the underlying sexism out of that image, you ain't got a lot left.

I also liked the bottle idea. Interesting that Alex didn't have the bottle to own up to the fact that it was 100% the designer's idea.

*nods*
I needed to do some stuff in between and had completely missed that the bottle was only the designer's idea.

Whoops, I made a mistake myself there... this is the Apprentice we're talking about, so the designer must have been at least 150% responsible for it, possibly much more! ;-)
