Did you even finish your sentence?
Reality TV clearly is what made me not watch TV at all anymore. I don't even watch the news because it's so americanised.
Good thing we still have hockey, somewhat.

Re: Youre Fired!
This is decent reality tv and enjoyable as well, record it and watch it when you get back from the pub after the footy.

I really thought reality TV was only big in the US though. I can't understand why people care to watch a show about a billionaire who verbally abuses people.

An American not being aware of what goes on elsewhere in the world - what are the chances?!
It isn't just about a billionaire abusing people. I like seeing the relationships between the various "contestants", and seeing which team will win, and watching them do the tasks they're given.

Re: Youre Fired!
In a very scripted 'reality' show.
Right.

British reality tv shows are quite different to american, granted the usual BB and celeb reality tv shows are quite shite, but this doesnt seem like a real reality show. Firstly its not live, secondly the producers seem to have less input on the whole. The thing is obviously edited but normally when Alan Sugar makes his choice you can disagree with him. Its quite interesting to see how business works and has tom said the way relationships and the rivalries develop.

Re: Youre Fired!
Who watched it last night?
Ahmed is so ****ing irritating - could you imagine working with the guy? He doesnt' seem to understand that other people might have an opinion... "yeah i have a name for us - the a-team!" "ok yeah but like i said, the a-team" "yeah but the a-team captures all of that" "look guys what about the a-team?" "seriously, the a-team". GET THE HINT.
And there's a girl who is just a dick and I couldn't imagine working with. She bounces around and jumps up and down when she wins or does well. She slouches and is actually quite masculine. The ugly one with the frizzy hair - does anyone know who I mean? She's annoying too.

Humanity would be considerably better off if Syed were hit by a bus.
In fact, the programme would have been so much more entertaining if they'd used some of the brains they're all supposed to have, realised that Syed was a colossal tosspot, let him have his way with the name, voted him team leader and let him make such an arse of himself that he'd be lucky to get a job as a sewer cleaner let alone a captain of industry.

Jo.
And believe me, you're not alone. For instance:

Was Jo also the one who tried to have a go at Sir Alan and ended up just looking like a spoilt child? I can't remember if that was her.

Re: Youre Fired!
The women were cringeworthy. Like cheerleaders, just nowhere near as attractive.
Syed needs to learn to shut the **** up. He's as good as sacked anyway, so i doubt it matters.
The really impressive character was the chap who was selling single apples at £2.50 a throw. Impressive

Re: Youre Fired!
Yeah, Jo. Cheers.
She tried to have a go at Sir Alan about women's rights and stuff, when he told them off for massaging the vendor's and flashing their bits around to get lower prices. Then she started to cry about it. What a winner.

Ive finished watching all 3 and the boys look a lot stronger than the girls, the girls seem very bitchy etc. Im amazed jo is still there but thats that ;o

I can't believe he didn't fire Jo. He's clearly a complete muppet.

Re: Youre Fired!
that was funny, only problem with him is he seems to not stand out too much, hopefully he will come into his own in the next few weeks.

Re: Youre Fired!
They're getting rid of the boy / girl teams next week which should make things more interesting.
Also Jo should have been kicked out yesterday.

Re: Youre Fired!
the point is that jo and the other one went in and gave a shit and showed some desire, while the lawyer just gave a typical lawyer answer. I think Sugar went on gut instinct rather than the task itself.
I'd quite like the tulip to win.

Re: Youre Fired!
Jo is good TV - I think that's probably one of the main reasons he kept her. He can always ditch her later.
The girls do seem a bit weak altogether - Lisa is the only one who seems strong (the fat ugly one).
I think Mani will be the next one to go.
