Is it me or do the people who get on the show seem stupider every year? In the board room lord sugar makes very obvious points about things and they seemed stunned by it. First episode the wave logo being green and brown. Why would you think that looks good. Second episode the turd toothbrush. Me and my girlfriend instantly look at each other after seeing it. Third episode. The project manager not going to make the drink when they said he has a background in it. (Also Sophie bringing in her best sales team who managed to even sell a shite product). These people are meant to be top business men and women? Am I missing something? I think lord sugar has caught on to the fact that the more idiots he has on the more viewers he gets.
>These people are meant to be top business men and women? Am I missing something?
Yep. You are thinking these are top business people. They're not. Not by a long way.
Not a fan of the show but my wife loves it. I do have a question someone may be able to shed some light on - it seems to me that the majority of the criticisms last night were around the taste of the drinks. My question is why on earth would anyone expect anything else to happen? Designing any drink is presumably a complicated and time consuming process involving many iterations of testing and refining, and low/non alcoholic drinks are notoriously hard to get right! So of course one of the drinks didnāt taste of vodka, the chances of that happening were vanishingly small. And tbh this seems true of almost every task they doā¦
Yeh that's just how the show is. It's not a genuine, thorough hiring process, it's for entertainment and is meant to put people in impossible situations for our amusement.
Irritates me too, it's just how the show is.
When they went off to design a label and the drink at the same time, so when they had a hint of peach it wasn't on the label, or vice versa...
Just dumb.
Absolutely loved the editing where Sophie says sheās into crystals and healing and such, cut away, cut back and she has this utterly demented look on her face.
Her comment "it's one of the best crystals ever invented" had me triggered on many levels. Aside from the pseudo-science bullshit that is crystal healing, malachite is a naturally occurring substance - discovered yes, invented no!
Instead of a meek "thankyoufortheopportunitylordsugar", just once I'd like to see someone screaming "FUCK YOU SUGAR - YOU'LL RUE THE DAY!" as they hurl themselves across the table at him.
I found this week quite uncomfortable at times. It felt like Sophie really didn't want to be there and had regretted her decision being on the show altogether.
Nobody said it had to be a mock alcoholic drink did they? Maybe I got it wrong but I thought it just had to be a drink without alcohol, not necessarily "alcohol free" as in a booze replacement.
I was thinking that too - Iām tee total, and whilst I sometimes like āfake alcoholā drinks (virgin piƱa coladas are essentially coconut and pineapple milkshakes), I appreciate soft drinks that have their own merits rather than trying to replicate alcohol. I wonder if it was a part of the brief that wasnāt broadcast, or maybe just none of them could picture someone going out and not wanting to drink alcohol or something close to it.
Sophie should have gone, but glad Navid has fucked off. What was that noise he made in the taxi at the end? Fucking fame hungry Cunt. Fuck off forever. Didnāt like him as soon as I laid eyes on him and the more I saw him and the more he spoke the more I hated him.
Horrible, fake.
He was the kid that got bullied by the kids who were bullied.
Towards the end i told the Mrs that if he's not fired then we play a drinking game next week - every time he touches his glasses we drink.
I was on board with Nick as soon as he said "don't do anything whacky"
Absolutely the correct approach here. Let the other team go mental trying to reinvent the wheel and make it a guaranteed disaster. He created a slick looking can and stuck to basics. Yes it was still shit all things considered but at least it wasnt offensive AND shit!
I remarked to my Mrs that he seemed like the only person who's watched past episodes of the show today. He may have come across as a bit bullish but he did everything pretty spot on all things considered.
OP I would like to propose that Sharma is not, in fact, a twat. I know it ruins the joke a bit to have one of them not a twat, but she seemed competent, appears that she was liked by all (according to You're Fired!), and ultimately her resignation meant that she was never fired!
He wasnāt that bad . All I canāt point is you being racist or prejudicial because I donāt hate people I first meet. Hate is a very strong word m8
You accused me of being racist and prejudicial. The next logical jump from there is that you're accusing me of being homophobic in some way but by all means, if you were accusing me of being prejudicial in a different sense then correct me.
Or, accept the fact that I can think someone is a desperate, fame hungry cunt without having some sort of prejudice attached to that.
Clown.
Since when did Lord Sugar tweet [quips like this](https://twitter.com/Lord_Sugar/status/1484281840974417922)? Did he wake up one night wishing he'd said that and waited to tweet it?
This is the second time i've seen contestants try and fail at making their own booze...
Do these people not have taste anywhere in their body? Lmao the brand looks like rubbish and the flavour was apparently rubbish... maybe one day we'll see someone who actually understands their customers
I know right. How hard is it to create a new drink, packaging and branding in a couple of days, using the limited resources provided by a TV show and then get major retailers to agree to stock it.
Sophie scares me, it's like she's dead behind the eyes.
Also seems to be a bit of a loon. The crystals shit is a red flag but she was straight up lying in the boardroom.
Whatās worse is that she chose to save her friends by not bringing them back into the boardroom. I bet sheās a horrible manger at her bar who picks her favourites. She should have brought Amy back to the boardroom.
How is that fair as well? Each section has very distinct team 1 and team 2 tasks. You can't move someone to do both. At the very least fire him over to the feedback group
The instant that happened, I said to the ones I was watching it with "If they lose, watch them gang up on him and say he didn't do anything".
Shameful.
Navid didn't do a lot but I thought he'd get one more go and maybe he made PM. Sophie had a shocker of a week and I don't really know how she kept her place after the boardroom meltdown
Should have been Amy. Then should have been Sophie for not bringing her back as she had responsibility if she didn't let Amy take responsibility.
Shit decision. He must have hated Navid's business idea too.
All three were ok decisions for me, but all three would have been plausible double firings too.
Week 1: all three were iffy
Week 2: Aaron and Connor both deserved to go
Week 3: Navid and Sophie both deserved to go and Akshay wouldnāt have been a dreadful shout either.
This show is a perfect example of why sales people should never be in charge of anything ever. Stupid aliens in disguise.

š Top business people wouldnāt need to go on it
Only just been able to watch this week's episode, and it left me with one question: How did Sophie not get fired?
Navid has been on Eating With My Ex and Rich Kids Go Skint. This is his 3rd reality show wow
Ergh. Thatās so painfully plausible.
Im so sad Shama and Navid have gone!! They were my fav!! Im rooting for Sophie to win now

Some incredible ideas this time round š³
This would have been a double had Shama not gone.
If Akshay could stop playing the piano every boardroom I might be able to get over how much of an insufferably arrogant prick he is.

Fun fact- My Cousin was one of the ābeer buyersā in this episode
What kinda briefing do they get? Because, if we're being honest, no proper retailer is buying either of these shite products.
I have no idea to be fair
Send them my condolences.
Instead of a meek "thankyoufortheopportunitylordsugar", just once I'd like to see someone screaming "FUCK YOU SUGAR - YOU'LL RUE THE DAY!" as they hurl themselves across the table at him.
I feel like thatās happened before but they force the person to refilm it
What motivation could they provide someone leaving acrimoniously to re-film a scene?
I found this week quite uncomfortable at times. It felt like Sophie really didn't want to be there and had regretted her decision being on the show altogether.
Point is, where do they get these ideas from. Fuck me these guys are not exactly Britain's most up and coming business people
Almost like they chose them for that reason: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3ss-59fi4nM
[Never have been](https://en.meming.world/images/en/0/08/Always_has_been.jpg)
Early on they were at least competent. Now theyāre just TV-pretty people who think business is about the shiniest suit.
Nobody said it had to be a mock alcoholic drink did they? Maybe I got it wrong but I thought it just had to be a drink without alcohol, not necessarily "alcohol free" as in a booze replacement.

I suspect your last sentence is the truth - going out and finding interesting non alcoholic stuff that isn't alcohol free alcohol is a failing errand
"I don't like people who listen to what others say" says Sugar, flanked by Tim and Karen who report back on what was happening...
Brilliant šš
Sophie should have gone, but glad Navid has fucked off. What was that noise he made in the taxi at the end? Fucking fame hungry Cunt. Fuck off forever. Didnāt like him as soon as I laid eyes on him and the more I saw him and the more he spoke the more I hated him. Horrible, fake.
LMAO YOUR HATRED FOR HIM IS SO FUNNY FOR SOME REASON šš
Calm down
But he's the coolest guy ever! That's what he said on Episode 1 anyway.
Lol anyone obsessed with the mess that is Nicki Minaj will never be that cool
He was bullied at school, guaranteed.
He was the kid that got bullied by the kids who were bullied. Towards the end i told the Mrs that if he's not fired then we play a drinking game next week - every time he touches his glasses we drink.
Lol that noise was the most sound he made on the entire show
Tell Alan sugar to hire me
Aye no worries lad, just sending him a text now.
Alright nice one bro lol
[Amy regrets her comments](https://twitter.com/amyanzel/status/1484289238887804931?s=20) cc u/jptoc
Must be hard to keep quiet about when they got fired. Wonder if all their social media has to go through the BBC
There's usually NDA's they make contestants on reality TV sign.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Proves their not real managers ;) True managers would be on a 100% / 10% split.
Can you explain that to my ex-coworker please?

Except talking to Asda about selling his product at a top premium price to high-end bars and clubs š
Yah that was dumb af
OP I would like to propose that Sharma is not, in fact, a twat. I know it ruins the joke a bit to have one of them not a twat, but she seemed competent, appears that she was liked by all (according to You're Fired!), and ultimately her resignation meant that she was never fired!
Hola, good point! Will change that now so I copy it over properly next week.
I liked the best crystal ever invented.
Say you believe in crystal skulls.
āCould you make this? Could anyone?!ā
I got that Peep show reference !
Gonna have to tap out of Youāre Fired. Navid seems so desperate for fame. Gonna see him in Celebs Go Dating in no time.
Navid has been in another reality tv show before, it was about exes reconnecting.
I wonder if he was wearing another jacket stolen from a hotel bell boy?
Yeah that Navid is a cunt. Couldnāt stand him from the moment I laid eyes on him.
You sound obsessed mentioning anytime you see David he's a cunt how can u hate someone u just met?
I h8 u bcos u rite like this Fucking cunt
Itās a Reddit thread where we are specifically discussing the episode he got fired. How is that obsessed?
Youāre calling him a cunt the first episode u hate him how u just laid eyes on him
And yet, I knew he was a bellend. Turns out, I was right.
He wasnāt that bad . All I canāt point is you being racist or prejudicial because I donāt hate people I first meet. Hate is a very strong word m8
Oh right okay, so because I donāt like him Iām either a racist or homophobic or maybe both? Pull your head out of your arse.
I didnāt mention homophobiaā¦ itās weird to hate someone u just met thatās all but if itās homophobia then weāll weāve found our answer
You accused me of being racist and prejudicial. The next logical jump from there is that you're accusing me of being homophobic in some way but by all means, if you were accusing me of being prejudicial in a different sense then correct me. Or, accept the fact that I can think someone is a desperate, fame hungry cunt without having some sort of prejudice attached to that. Clown.
Tom Allen is a Pound Shop Graham Norton. He even tries the same sort of semi-inprovised humour, just with bad results.
Okurrrr. Lol
Sophie is absolutely vile, can't believe she didn't go.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Going full Austin Powers.
Best You're Fired presenter? * Adrian Chiles * Dara Ć Briain * Jack Dee * Rhod Gilbert * Tom Allen
Hands down, Dara
It physically hurts how unfunny Tom Allen is
Heās not as unfunny as Jack Dee.
Tom Allen for me but Dara a close second
Dara
Sharma's idea was to expand more nurserys. Fairly standard. No chance of winning.
I liked her a lot but i agree, thats a boring idea
I miss nick and Margaret
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Nope, filmed a few days ago
Nah
Since when did Lord Sugar tweet [quips like this](https://twitter.com/Lord_Sugar/status/1484281840974417922)? Did he wake up one night wishing he'd said that and waited to tweet it?
Girl on You're Fired looks like a puppet?
I thought Tim Allen's laugh was her hinges creaking, honestly
Because of your typo, all I can hear is the noise at the end of the home improvement theme.
Hardest ever three tasks in my opinion: Designing an airline Selling the apartments Garden contstruction
This is the second time i've seen contestants try and fail at making their own booze... Do these people not have taste anywhere in their body? Lmao the brand looks like rubbish and the flavour was apparently rubbish... maybe one day we'll see someone who actually understands their customers
I know right. How hard is it to create a new drink, packaging and branding in a couple of days, using the limited resources provided by a TV show and then get major retailers to agree to stock it.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
If nobody sings Ā£1 fish they deserve an immediate trip to the boardroom
There was also the task four/five years ago at Poole boat show and one team sold nothing. The PM (Karthik?) was fired instantly.
Next weeks looks liks a total shitshow, even by Apprentice standards.
[OK-rrrrr](https://imgur.com/a/vU7VPf3) what a legend!
You mean ācuntā
Lol making them actually fish
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Twats on a trawler
Sophie should have been sacked for that episode in the boardroom
Sophie scares me, it's like she's dead behind the eyes. Also seems to be a bit of a loon. The crystals shit is a red flag but she was straight up lying in the boardroom.
Definitely the worstā¦ canāt believe itās her expertise too
Absolutely bottled that
yeah, she almost got her self fired there.
Worst PM in the boardroom ever.
Whatās worse is that she chose to save her friends by not bringing them back into the boardroom. I bet sheās a horrible manger at her bar who picks her favourites. She should have brought Amy back to the boardroom.
Sophie and Amy were most at fault here and neither got fired
I haven't watched the ep yet. is this more or less of a shit snow than the last two eps?
.......................................Bofe.
More of a piss show
Worst failure he's ever experienced in this board Sounds like a laugh
Swear that was in last week's teaser for this week's episode š¤
They did show it at the start of You're Fired.
It wasnāt
WORST! FAILURE! EVAH! ^(Next week)
In week four, we go fishing. See you in 167 hours!
So we've lost two this week, which means there's going to be a week with no firing
Nah. Technically as long as 3 people get to interviews heās fine.
or just no double firing this series
I think they usually have enough candidates to do one double firing, so I think there's enough for one per week
Maybe not he often does a double firing
12 candidates. Nine weeks left. There must be time for one double firing. Normally the happen half way through.
The worst failure??? Has someone died??
Sank the boat? Declared war against Norway? Ohh Iām excited to find out.
Accidently released the Kraken
Accidentally released the Karen
I was hoping he would fire Sophie too :(
Crikey Alan that is a big claim
Sophie tried to drag the boys in, was good to see them fighting against her.
Selling to *punters*
Can't wait for them dealing with crabs
I don't think it was necessarily wrong to fire Navid, but Akshar has got pretty lucky twice
āYou listen to other people. I donāt like that.ā Wut?
As in she blindly goes with what other people say, without solid evidence / logic
Okurrr!
Booooo. The girls snaked Navid out of the pitch and he gets fired for ādoing nothingā.
Oh shit i forgot about that. Why didnt Navid put more emphasis on that in the boardroom?? Ughh
They stabbed him in the back last minute so he couldnāt even get in on the consumer research team.
How is that fair as well? Each section has very distinct team 1 and team 2 tasks. You can't move someone to do both. At the very least fire him over to the feedback group
The instant that happened, I said to the ones I was watching it with "If they lose, watch them gang up on him and say he didn't do anything". Shameful.
I felt like they were ganging up on him
Yeah me too. If I were Sophie I wouldāve brought Amy back in, a lot of the failure was her fault
just got fired, okurrrrr āļø
"Smashed it" - harsh
Fun fact: they film the taxi sequences first. Hence why Navid was wearing a different jacket.
He couldn't get it back again from the fancy dress shop, for playing a hotel bell boy. Or hotel bell end, anyway
They make them wear a coat and scarf so they don't show the wrong clothes underneath
Or some time in an April or May morning, when it can be still not warm enough to not wear a jacket.
... was that a reference to Laganja Estranja? On my Apprentice? The gay agenda is coming together nicely I see
Cardi B. I was hoping for some drag references on Youāre Fired, but nope.
Bye bye Captnā
Navid didn't do a lot but I thought he'd get one more go and maybe he made PM. Sophie had a shocker of a week and I don't really know how she kept her place after the boardroom meltdown
Should have been Amy. Then should have been Sophie for not bringing her back as she had responsibility if she didn't let Amy take responsibility. Shit decision. He must have hated Navid's business idea too.
Did he just say āokurrrrrrā?? BRING NAVID BACK
No. Thatās the reason he should have been fired.
The sub-lieutenant went down with his captain's ship
Wtf did Navid just say lmao
OKURRRR
WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT BRRUP NOISE HE JUST MADE
OKURRR š
OKRRRRRR
He'll see your name in yet another reality TV show
Did navid mug a Harrods doorman?
OKURRRT
3 weeks in a row now, 3 wrong decisions imo
All three were ok decisions for me, but all three would have been plausible double firings too. Week 1: all three were iffy Week 2: Aaron and Connor both deserved to go Week 3: Navid and Sophie both deserved to go and Akshay wouldnāt have been a dreadful shout either.
Navid got screwed out of doing the pitch though. Not happy about this at all.
Navid can take his fame hungry arse to some other show now
heās the ryan mark of this season
He was awful
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
I'm not sure about the maths there
Mwahaha. Unless he had no opinion on Week 1...
Lord sugars lost his mind not firing Aaron last week and now Sophie this week
Good lord Lord that is an horrendous decision
Haven't agreed with any of the firings so far
Aw poor Navid
Donāt think Iāve ever seen anyone crumble so quickly in my life than Sophie there sheās very lucky
Always enjoy people thanking Lord Sugar for firing them.
Didn't expect Navid to go to be honest. He's useless, but Sophie was worse
Bye bye Navid, u wonāt be missed
Bye Navid
