Ricky Martin: The reflection of perfection!!!

[deli]

[Walker]

The women on the website always look like they are about to eat you.

Azhar Siddique is fucking awesome. He has two pet sharks and trains in Muay Thai. He's either going to be the biggest dick or the nicest crazy person.

Bilyana Apostolova has the weirdest bio: "Bulgaria born Bilyana started off her career aged six, collecting snails from her grandparents’ farm to sell to pharmaceutical companies."

Calling Jenna Whittingham as the first person to really get on everyone's nerves this season. Or Nick Holzherr, I don't have to read his bio to known he's going to be a bit of a cunt.

Oh shit, Ricky Martin is a professional wrestler!

No one jumps out at me as an obvious winner yet. The females all sound stronger on paper this year, but when is that never the case?

[Asuka's Gonna Kill You]

"I truly am the reflection of perfection!"

One minute in and I can tell he's a twat already.

[DavidMarrio]

Love how none of the guys wanted to be project manager, they all shit out of it.

[Asuka's Gonna Kill You]

Well that was a shocking decision :/

[Walker]

She was really fucking annoying. I'm glad she went, don't think I could have took another week of that.

[DavidMarrio]

Probably wasn't the best decision but I'm not gonna complain. Very annoying just moaning and moaning and never shutting up.

[Jimmy]

Prime example of someone really talking themself out of it. When Sir Allen hints, or outright says, that you should stop talking. You just stop.

[Lineker]

I haven't been able to watch this at all . Any good?

[Jimmy]

The last episode was quite good, but it doesn't have anything on last season. There's no Jedi Jim or The Brand to have a good laugh with/at. But yeah, it's not bad, easy watching.

[DavidMarrio]

Yeh I'd agree with Split. There are no real characters yet that stand out compared to last season where there was Jim or Tom but that doesn't mean it isn't bad, its still pretty good. This weeks task looks like it'll produce some funny moments though.

[therockbox]

Turning into a bit of a farce now. Dodgy firing decision basically every week. Why don't they just skip to the interviews/business plan stage? That's clearly what some people are being kept in for regardless of how shite they are each week.

[Jimmy]

I said it when they changed it last year, the show structure no longer really fits the prize. It's a drawn out, glorified, more entertaining version of Dragons Den.

[therockbox]

11 weeks to end up with a recruitment company.

[Cactus Drags]

I still enjoy the show, but it's getting frustrating how often the wrong team seems to win. I guess they're editing it in such a way as to swerve us, but it gets old having it happen so often. Especially when certain stuff that comes up during the show doesn't get discussed in the board room.

[Owen]

well that was a load of balls.. I'm sorry, but Tom > Ricky. His name is Ricky Martin for god sake. people were taking the mick before it started, they probably still will even though it's now finished.

[Walker]

I didn't get the love for Tom. He was never that good at anything.

Ricky was the runaway winner for a while. He was the best all-rounder; good ideas man, great salesman, and in the end he had the best business plan.

It is a shame though, I thought Jade was better skillswise but who proposes a fucking call centre and expects it to go over well?

Just the fact that he wasn't a cunt endeared Tom to many.
