I reckon after that grovelling undignified exit by his candidate, Supablue should pay an extra fiver.

Lol, was really embarrassing wasn't it?

Missed the show completely, but I saw that she lost her dad just before "You're Fired" so maybe we should give her a pass on that.

TB, still waiting for your payment please.

Have not seen any of this and did not know what my bint looked like but caught a glimpse of her as I flicked on your fired and all I can say is fit fit fit.

Actually cringe every week seeing some of the absolute crap they produce. They're supposed to be some of the best entrepreneurs in the UK :stunned:

To be fair, they get one or two days to produce & sell something. I'm sure real life products spend months if not years in development before they're put out to market.

Wouldn't make much of a TV show!

Not sure if it's still the case, but definitely on previous versions of the show their resources are seriously limited. Even the phones they're given are modded to strip out any kind of internet access to stop them "cheating".

Wouldn't surprise me - the regular task where they have to source items across London seems completely fixed, and also completely victorian.

Anyone else wonder if the 'pitching' has to be shared around - it seems that there will inevitably be some good pitchers in the teams but they always end up with someone **** doing it.

It's also heavily edited to show some contestants more on some tasks in a bad or good light, so there's more "tension" in the room. Apparently the boardroom filming takes all day.

Who the **** would want to work for Amstrad?

I think they make all the Sky+ boxes these days, so a very lucrative business as they seem to go down every few months.

TBH I think she should actually send me the fiver I put in. Was totally cringeworthy!

Very true. Must admit, it is funny watching Sug's reaction when their products are unveiled! His face watching those videos was an absolute picture.

Sky Box lifetime:

Year 1 works fine
End of year 1 - Warranty ends
End of year 1 - Phonecall asking if you want to take out insurance. Decline offer.
Very beginning of year 2 - Sky box suddenly and unexpectedly explodes

As far as I'm aware, prize fund still sits at £45. :nope:

TrueBlue to be renamed TightBlue?

 

[Tinks]

Let's see how many get "fired" tonight

 

[MK Shrimper]

Just the one fortunately!

 

[OldBlueLady]

Thought my one would go the minute she was in the losing group!

Come on Scott, make the effort to pass the money on to Ken on Saturday!

Feeling a little bit confident with my girl Lauren right now. Her and Roisin seem the only two who are even vaguely competant.

Yep seems to be between those two ladies and Mark. Early days though
