The wannabes could be given a copy of all government legislation, taxation laws, and ACCC rules and regulations, and the team that manages to circumvent the rules the best is the winner.

I think last night he asked if they thought the PM (I forget her name now, Miss World wanna be 2006) was a good project manager, he went straight to Carmen and asked her, and she said “No, I think the result would have been the same on our own without her” PERFECT chance for him to get some confrontation happening and he simply says “Okay….. now for the winners”

Its lame, its the boardroom that ruins it if you asks me…. a crap attempt to build it up, actually does the opposite. The boardroom in the Amercian Apprenctice is sit on the edge of your seat style boardroom. Its worth watching.

I am going to give it one last shot next week.

Bouris has a salt of the earth approach similar to Sugar and likely once he realaxes will improve. Having only seen one episode what’s missing is more personal conflict between contestants and Bouris needs to stir this up in the boardroom. I expect he will try and pit some of the women against each other to get a bit of fur flying.

If Lynton was somehow a representative for marketing then its a relief he’s gone. Not at all random in my view , he was egotistical, untalented, unnatractive and for someone who supposedly knows about marketing completely wooden. I smell a rat here, we need some people who know him to verify his credentials. Sorry Lynton if you’re reading this you did not come across well.

Part of the great success of Trump’s show was his exec’s telling it like it was so Trump would not get suckered.

Don’t blow it Ch9, this show could still be a sleeper.

Also, why don’t ch 9 series link it?

However, when watching the episode on IQ last night it didn’t record past the ad break before the ‘firing’. I was so pissed off I couldn’t even be bothered going online to find out who was fired. No wonder pirating tv shows is rife!

Some of the contestants seem a little ‘simple’ as well and totally out of their element with even the simplest of tasks.

I’m guessing the audience will drop again next week, it really is just boring and I quite enjoyed the first few seasons of the American version.

The 60 minute format worked better, although in terms of story telling, the choice for who to get fired was once again about as predictable as the murderer in an Agatha Christie whodunnit ie entirely random.

If Nine holds its nerve over timeslot, by guess is that we’ll see it pick up a little next week. I could yet see it winning its timeslot by the end of the run.

Cheers,
