The Apprentice 2015

[BlueBee]

I'd like Joseph to win, what with him working in the same line of work as me. There's an awful amount of money to be made in plumbing, more so that some think. The building industry in this country is booming....you only have to look across the London skyline to see how many buildings are going up.

The dating app idea is interesting but it'd never work. The whole reason Tinder was successful was because you could talk to opposite gender with a swipe of the finger. Who has time to play games all day just to find out what someone looks like?

 

[The Paranoid Pineapple]

^ Yeah, the success of apps such as Tinder and Grindr owes a lot to the desire for instant gratification. The idea is to dispose of all the rigmarole that comes with dating sites, something which her proposal seems completely at odds with. I think there's definitely some mileage in the idea of a social network based around gaming, but I don't think combining it with dating is necessarily going to prove to be a winner (or at least not the way she's pitching it).

I'm not sure about the app, if the games were decent it has legs to boom. Its the kind of thing you could download as a bit of a joke to kill time. But then what if the other person stops playing?

Good luck to Joseph.

Slight classism undertones from Karren to Joseph with the whole "do you have what it takes to move in *those kinds of* circles?"

Richard's 'redemption' was just another tactic imo. Saw that no-one was buying his plan and tried the humility ticket. SO SAD it didn't work.

Vana's idea is rubbish.

 

[Martino Knockavelli]

Her Right Royal Baronessness is one to talk. I know she wasn't exactly born to a horny handed son of serfdom but I was watching an old Fantasy Football episode the other week and her accent has become rather more cut glass in the interim, shall we say. Reinvention is a wonderful thing.

 

[blade1889]

Surely her reinvention shows that she felt it necessary to change and therefore makes a valid point that Joseph may well need to?

Not saying its right that it should be that way but it isn't an outrageous thought that it is.

Happy days, well deserved winner in Joseph. Very sensible decision by investing in his business.

 

[smat]

yassssss

Pleased Joe won. He seems a decent enough fella really. Vana was fucked the moment she was all 'thx for 250k but I need more, if it even works' approach.

 

[Saddlerrad]

Enjoyed this years to be honest and the winner was thoroughly deserved. Wonder how much longer this show will go on for though? It's kind of reaching it's limits now.

 

[BlueBee]

He was always going to win. I thought he was on the way to ballsing it up with that horror show of a logo and company name but his pitch was decent and he got some good feedback from the market research.

As long as you know what you're doing you'll always make money in plumbing....If you're good at it you'll make a lot of it too.

 

[General_disarray]

Vana's idea for an App was shit; she comes across as quite delusional in thinking it was a good idea and then throwing around big ideas like scientific way of matching people.....

 

[Murphy]

I quite liked Vana's concept, she just took it a bit too serious for me. Dating and Games is a good idea, but making it sciencey takes away the fun from it.

I like Joseph though, so I'm glad he got it in the end.

 

[Alty]

I was backing Joseph from the minute he got rid of that moustache.
