Karen 'The Crook' Brady?
They're all rather annoying. Kids playing at being grown-ups. I'll keep watching just so I can have something to moan about, though.
I quite liked beret-girl - seemed to know what she was doing evem though she was a bit pushy. Will beinteresting to see how she copes as project manager.
One of the boys (Rees/Reece) was going very pink and looked like he'd wet himself
Baaahhh!
I thought they were younger
They wanna start acting their age...
That's the trouble, Corinth, they think they're acting older than their age.
Frightening to think that they regard the tossers in the adult version as role models.
I don't think they're mature, in fact, I think the opposite.
There's always one like her though Minky. At some point in the not too distant future, she'll get a slap from L'Alan, and hopefully she'll calm down and stop trying to impress so much.
This was apparently the final round of interviews:
There was a group of 12 people.
Task 1: the group had to arrange itself in order of height, then of order of shoe size, then of order of how good looking people were.
Task 2: girls team and boys team (6 in each) had to assemble flat pack furniture in 8 minutes and had a project manager.
Task 3: People were chosen at random and were given a random object to market instantly for 30 seconds. Objects were things like: empty tea bag, fingerless rubber gloves, traffic cone, lock of hair, mapbook with pages missing.
Task 4: Group of boys and girls (6 in each) had a task of theoretically opening a cafe and needing to pitch to the bank for a loan. Had 30 minutes to decide on all aspects of the seafront cafe to attract british tourists who stayed in england for the summer. All the expenses and how we were going to pay the bank back and in what space of time and what we were going to have in the cafe and how much was the food and drink and what made us stand out differently and lot more other details.
Task 5: Write an individual 45 minute essay in silence on if you were the leader of a political organisation, which laws would you change and which new ones would you make.
Task 6: Group Discussion: with all 12 people, we were given a sheets of paper with a list of 21 people on it with their sex, sexual orientation, occupation and age and they all had swine flu and we only had 5 vaccines, who would we give the 5 to?
List consisted of peope like:
35 year old gay lawyer
24 year old straight young nurse
45 year old ex-thief with 10 convictions
one month year old baby
The prime minister
An oxford university professor (40 years old, straight)
An 80 year old straight war veteran
A 30 year old gay scientist working in Life Sciences
An award winning 32 year old black mountaineer
Jordan
A retired 65 year old medic
A french priest who spoke little english
A 6 year old child
An entrepreneur with 10 patented products
(cant remember all of them)
Task 7: Group Discussion: Gay people should not be able to adopt. Discuss.
End of day.
Duration: 4 Hours.
Non-stop, no refreshments, no loo breaks.
Well that would be me out. 4 hours without loo breaks? If you need to go you can do yourself physical damage holding it that long surely.
And whats the obsession with gays?
I found JA fascinating. The bearded one was the only boy who looked 'grown-up', most of the reat looked 12 years old.
The juniors were very much like the adult apprentices; ie. they were vain, boring, arrogant, or just annoying! One girl stood out as a great seller (can't remember the name). Unfortunately, the first boy who was 'fired' was a terrible leader and didn't listen to his team.
Hardly
Can't really guess which is the crapper idea
But I could see that sled having potential with all my tri kit - if it worked/was bigger etc.
Little guy's last pitch was much better though.
She did indeed.
I got that wrong then.
True
But she'll probably win it
I can't say I've kept careful track but Zoe's worn the same outfit into the boardroom at least the last three times.
Was expecting Tim to win, guess maybe the first few tasks cost him
Well, could have saved the last however many weeks. Had Arjan down as the winner from the first episode.
Tim really matured a lot, especially over the last few weeks
