[Memento Mori]

Bow tie should go.

 

[Humidex]

Paul = Barry Shitpeas?

 

[Kuros]

Bow tie should go.

Actually I think I agree. The 1.50 -> 1.07 was indefensible.

 

[Nothus]

Paul = Barry Shitpeas?

Cannot unsee.

 

[pbsapeer]

Paul = Barry Shitpeas?

Haha excellent.

Fucking hell Oliver is awful. Bumbling idiot!

 

[Memento Mori]

Oliver talking himself out of this.

 

[dc89]

Oliver talking himself out of this.

And he's gone.

 

[Filthy Casual]

Hoooly shit savage from Lord Sugar

 

[Portugeezer]

"£250 grand... buy a scratch card, you're fired"

Lol

 

[pbsapeer]

Haha Paul nearly knocking Oliver out with his shoulder hahaa

 

[dc89]

Sausage...empire.

 

[Lucius86]

Haha Paul nearly knocking Oliver out with his shoulder hahaa

Squashed like the bug he is.

Watching You're Fired (didn't watch the last two), and I see Konnie Huq on my TV in 2016, bit of a surprise. Was she on the last two as well?

 

[show me your skeleton]

She suffers from serious verbal diarrhoea

you be nice.

All I could think throughout this episode was "Is this Oliver guy real? It's like he's walked off a comedy set".

I guess the mission is over for James Bond.

 

[Tregard]

Honestly this whole series feels like a complete farce, I can't take a single one of them seriously and Sugar seems like he's too busy firing off a barrage of hilarious one-liners to care that none of them are even vaguely competent, so he'll spend the first half of the series firing the quieter characters who don't cause drama, then tip the scales in the latter half to leave us with a handful of loudmouthed media-trained *personalities* that have managed to play up to the cameras best.

Has it always been this bad? Every other series has at least had a few people who seemed to know what they were doing.

I am pretty sure she is heavily involved in Black Mirror.

Oliver was a bumbling fool. Don't know how he functions from day to day. Weirdly this years seem much nicer. Dumber, but nicer. Alana and the woman on Oliver's team who was 'polite' seem sweet.

 

[Chopper]

Pleased for Alana. She seems lovely.

I'm struggling to believe that Oliver wasn't an actor. Such an odd character.

Paul didn't do himself any favours this week, even though he seems like he has a brain.

Courtney and Grainne seem like the top contenders to me at this point.

 

[mclem]

I think those people are still present, but they're not at the forefront right now. I'm keeping an eye on Grainne and JD in particular.

I've said it before, but You're Fired is so much better this year.

Edit: Oh, yes, Courtney too.

Part of its in the editing. There are likely some bright sparks in there but we don't see them. There are some in the board room who have had pretty much 0 camera time so far.

 

[ANuclearError]

Wonder how much of a trainwreck it will be today.

 

[Nothus]

Awkwaaaaard

 

[Portugeezer]

Lol well that was random

 

[ANuclearError]

OK, this is an interesting start. Fiver says they win too.

 

[Nothus]

Grainne actually seems like a competent candidate so they might actually do ok.

 

[FortuneFaded]

"She obviously didn't think she was strong enough..."

She had barely left the room

 

[Portugeezer]

"She obviously didn't think she was strong enough..."

She had barely left the room

Yeah that was not in good taste. Shit talking after someone left, who the fuck cares whether you think she was strong enough or not... she just left.

 

[FortuneFaded]

Futuristic meets modern contemporary.

 

[Nothus]

Potential for cringe and bullshit is huge in this episode.

 

[FortuneFaded]

Squeeze - Cool For Cats (1979)

 

[MouldyK]

Potential for cringe and bullshit is huge in this episode.

#Cool...for...cats!#

 

[show me your skeleton]

cool for cats.

 

[Kuros]

One of those window displays looked like it belonged at Matalan.

 

[FortuneFaded]

Karthik going to get dem digits.

 

[MouldyK]

Sofia is so jelly he ain't selling anything.

 

[Nothus]

Damn this one is tough to call.

 

[FortuneFaded]

Can you imagine Sugar trying to sell high end scarves?

 

[Kuros]

Mukai for the chop surely.

 

[ANuclearError]

Hang on, it was 8 v 6, doesn't that make the whole thing rather shite? Certainly doesn't seem fair.

 

[pbsapeer]

Bow tie should go.

 

[Kuros]

Hang on, it was 8 v 6, doesn't that make the whole thing rather shite? Certainly doesn't seem fair.

It was 8/7 but she quit during the task which fucked them.

 

[FortuneFaded]

Paul again was retroactively right.

 

[Portugeezer]

Paul again was retroactively right.

lol

 

[ANuclearError]

It was 8/7 but she quit during the task which fucked them.

Yeah, thats what I meant, her quitting made the entire thing rather pointless really. Should have had Not Nick just phone Karen and say "Oi, send of one your guys over to balance the teams.

 

[Nothus]

Grainne what the hell are you doing?! Oh my god she's gonna get fired

 

[Portugeezer]

PM should probably go, too much of a tryhard.

Gonna be mkai or whatever his name is. Eyebrows will survive, we all know it.

 

[Dynasty]

Should have been Mukai and Rebecca bought back in, she had like 3 chances.

 

[Kuros]

Holy shit. She's fucked herself with that change of mind then changing back.

 

[MouldyK]

Grainne actually seems like a competent candidate so they might actually do ok.

Does she?

Is that your final answer?!

Do you want to change your mind?

 

[Nothus]

Does she?

Is that your final answer?!

Do you want to change your mind?

I still think she has a better chance than mr bow tie. But yeah that triple change of mind might screw her over.
