The Nargis presentation is one of my favourite moments of the show. I love how she looks disheveled (like she hasn't slept in 2 days) and has to look at her notes in between each word.
and the secret signal girl jesus moronic the toy is fucking stupid what little kid needs to send messages across the playground when they can just walk up to each other and talk
I think she got off lightly to be honest, I'm not sure Nick or Alan had seen the footage, they'd just heard feedback because if they'd seen how her presentations went then I think they would have torn into her.
The crazy thing about Nargis' unbelievably awful pitch is that the worst things about it weren't even bad business mistakes, it was failing at even a basic level of human communication. The whole "I hadn't finished thing" etc... And wow, as we can see, she has learned NOTHING from the show!
Makes fer good TV I s'pose... But is it remotely as bad as asking a halal joint for kosher food? I mean I'm a fucking infidel by anyone's standard and even *I* know the difference!
Season 4. A Jewish candidate asks a halal butcher for kosher chicken by praying to Allah while crossing his heart like a catholic! Comedy Gold. You cannot make this crap up.
Nargus: ask me a question Buyer: what price can you do Nargus: *looks around* Nargus: can you repeat the question Buyer: what price can you do Nargus: ermmm well at this moment what price can you do? WTF
This 9 and a half minute clip is taking me 20 minutes to watch it and I'm not even half way through. I can't stop cringing, pausing it and having to collect myself.
That Nargis was so rude and patronizing. It makes me squirm just watching it. I am suprized those she was pitching to remained so polite. I would have walked out if she had spoken to me like that.
i think nargis is proof that the show's producers categorically DON'T choose the best candidates for Sir Alan's job position, but solely those that will make a fool of themselves and make the best TV!
Nargis: "These calendars would look fantastic... on your shelves... " Guy: "Okay I have some questio-" Nargis: "I'm not finished" Nargis: "..." Nargis: "Now you can ask me questions"
It's relevant to some degree because cat owners are more likely to buy the calendars and because Great Ormons is in London so that's another marker. But she really didn't phrase that well....
I can't decide if the awkward pause and almost annoyed, passive aggressive way Nargis asks "sorry, can you not repeat the question?" is my favourite or least favourite 5 seconds in all recorded existence.
Bavita Singh not the slightest clue. She really thought she was great aswell plus she tells her team not to interrupt even if she goes wrong & still blames them not herself. I swear they put these people on the apprentice for us to be entertained lol that was probably the most awkward moment of british tv iv seen in my life !
Laur Este definitely agree! Going on about how many cats live in London-who cares?! It was so cringe worthy when she told them to ask her questions and then she told them to shut up because she was still talking I mean is this woman for real then when they did ask her she didn't understand them and had to have the question repeated lol I knew she was going as soon I saw that! And then as if she went into the boardroom and told Lord Sugar she did a good job 😂😂😂🙊
It is very baffling to see that with the results of the team voting and the focus group combined, she would've gotten the message straight away that they preferred the robot idea, but no she continued to ignore it.
Her: ask any question Him: **asks question** Her: DON’T INTERRUPT I HAVEN’T FINISHED. NOW I’m finished Her later: My TeAm DiDn’T tElL mE hE wAs GoNnA aSk QuEsTiOnS
These people basically damage their careers being on this show, if they get fired by Alan Sugar, who would want to hire them in any sense of a senior position?!
Elliott Coe If you make it far into it, it’s probably not that bad, but if you fuck up big time then you’re in big trouble with a permanent taint on your name .
LMFAO at Nargis.. 'ask me any questions.... im sorry i haven't finished talking !' and 'errmm..can you repeat the question ?' LOL oh dear... :l Can't wait for the new series ! x
Lindsay: 'I really became, rightly or wrongly, transfixed by this toy!'......... .......Rightly or Wrongly?!! God, even now in hindsight she still can't say she's wrong! EVERYONE hated it and EVERYONE outvoted it AND the kids preferred the robot and still she just ignored it and did what she wanted, how bloody deluded can you get seriously?! SMH I bet she still thinks it's amazing. Come on Lindsay it's not much of a secret signal how shit your idea was love.
James Goldsmith said something along the lines the most dangerous thing in business is an effective manager doing the wrong thing. That person will destroy value faster than an idiot manager doing nothing.
I would have fired her for going into the room with an incredibly bad haircut. Her arrogance was unbelievable. She had zero people skills. Would not make a good server.
I saw this in my younger years and cringed. I’m no business woman but in recent years I’ve been more exposed to leading meetings with senior people including my CEO. I think I’m a bumbling wreck but they don’t. Ok I am not in a competition or asking for money but still, i am clearly doing something right 😂
"We as a team are split". No you're not! Your shitty idea was still outvoted! Classic example of someone wanting to push their idea forward simply because it was their idea
It still baffles me how Michelle--makes watching paint dry look eventful--Dewberry won smh. Ruth is far more interesting and clever. I wish her more success x
as soon as i heard 6 million cat owners in uk i would have ordered straight away. Market anaylsis spot on. Target market..almost the whole london population...delivery was amazing......fuck that are u mad that was whack!!!
Thay toy project with the Robots was possibly the best prototype made over every singly series of Apprentice. The team were fucking idiots for not forcing that through with the weird 240-260 split.
Maybe things look easier on TV than they are to actually do, also you have to take time restraints into account. To make my calendar I had months, not days to do it. and did lots of market research to help the design of it.
Honestly,I do business at GCSE and I'm not saying I could win it but me and most of my class could get far in this competition. Most of it is basic business knowledge.
It's always amazed me how on these shows the contestants don't do their homework by watching the previous series, if you did that and learned what mistakes not to make you would go deep in the competition at least & likely not make a complete cock of yourself on national TV.
