9:45 PM elfinamsterdam - Debroah is a wagon me thinks
9:45 PM niamhsmith - Debra – Morticia – Cher = same person?
9:45 PM elfinamsterdam - believe so Niamh
9:45 PM Darren - Deborah scares me a little
9:45 PM SarahGriffiths - Debs has really blue eyes too…maybe the digital re-tune has effected the colour !! or maybe not
9:45 PM elfinamsterdam - Wow Lorraine SPEAKS
9:45 PM niamhsmith -
9:45 PM Darren - *Debra
9:45 PM Darren - @Sarah She’s no Howard!
9:46 PM omahonydonnelly - Oh, just annoying!
9:46 PM SarahGriffiths - Red rashes coming on
9:46 PM niamhsmith - Ah come on – they all have lovely blue eyes
9:46 PM elfinamsterdam - @sarah yep I’d be a world of tomatos by now
9:46 PM omahonydonnelly - Nobody took charge of that decision – manager should have made it clear.
9:46 PM Darren - “I didn’t want to be a strong individual” Wtf?
9:46 PM elfinamsterdam - oh that second last girl was hot
9:46 PM icedcoffee - @niamh they arent all blue – but they are very shiny
9:47 PM elfinamsterdam - i mean last girl to the left
9:47 PM niamhsmith - @Elf who was hot??
9:47 PM omahonydonnelly - I can’t beleive he sat through that!
9:47 PM icedcoffee - @elf agree
9:47 PM Darren - She picked the right two.
9:47 PM elfinamsterdam - the end one at the desk …. to the far left
9:48 PM elfinamsterdam - @phil
9:48 PM omahonydonnelly - They’re the only two that stood out at all.
9:48 PM DaRadar - Mini cab company got very cheap advertising….anyone else think Alan Sugar owns the place where the apartment is (portobello lofts) ?
9:48 PM elfinamsterdam - well as they say … the squeaky wheel .. .gets the bullet
9:48 PM Darren - @omahony But not in a good way.
9:48 PM Krelborn - Predictably the girls all turn on eachother. I think Sir Alan is as amused as I am. He’s heard it all before. #apprenticeuk
9:49 PM icedcoffee - debra (sp?) laughs too much – hate ppl like that
9:49 PM omahonydonnelly - Used to use that minicab company in my old job in London – they were excellent.
9:49 PM niamhsmith - Here we go…who’ll be gone?
9:49 PM Darren - I still think Mono is going home.
9:49 PM pallmallmedia - Alan sugar is definately more calmer in this years #apprentice
9:49 PM mykreeve - “They’re either very very clever, or very very dumb.” Hmm… whichever could it be? #apprentice
9:49 PM catnipxox - Don’t leave them alone in reception..handbags at dawn! #apprentice
9:49 PM simonianson - Alan Sugar “They’re either very clever or very dumb” I’ll give you one guess what my thoughts are. #apprenticeuk
9:50 PM SarahGriffiths - Failed me….the cheeky…madam
9:50 PM niamhsmith - Mona is going I think…
9:50 PM omahonydonnelly - Mona is not acting like a leader – she’s made up a lot of the criticism
9:50 PM DaRadar - Mona sounds a bit emotional during her claims of dishonesty etc
9:50 PM elfinamsterdam - God Morticia is a cow
9:50 PM _laertesgirl - Debra is a cow #apprentice
9:50 PM hettys_hat - there is was, end of the day, lol #apprentice
9:50 PM SarahGriffiths - puppets muppets – tomatoes – tomaaatoes
9:50 PM omahonydonnelly - Mona is grasping and Alan doesn’t like that.
9:51 PM omahonydonnelly - If it isn’t clear cut, he’ll probably sack the leader
9:51 PM gabysslave - i want to hand in my womanhood card now #apprentice
9:51 PM Darren - Debra has some attitude problem.
9:51 PM asthiggins - First fish lips from Nick! #apprentice
9:51 PM niamhsmith - @gabysslave oh dear, that bad?
9:51 PM omahonydonnelly - oh, maybe it will come down to losing those 10 cars
9:52 PM DaRadar - Anita will go
9:52 PM ComedyBint - @ElleSergi *laughing* But she’ll make better telly…! #apprentice
9:52 PM Darren - Alan does NOT like Anita at all.
9:52 PM DaRadar - “I’ll bring a bottle of vodka and some cans of beer to your party sir alan” = not getting fired
9:52 PM elfinamsterdam - Alan fancies Debra i think…
9:52 PM omahonydonnelly - poor girl got stuck with a calculator and now on the firing line.
9:53 PM Darren - @Elf Is he blind?
9:53 PM omahonydonnelly - she didn’t take on responsibility of leader though
9:53 PM helenathomas - #apprentice God, get rid of both Mona and Anita. What a load of bollocks.
9:53 PM tholder - how can 7 guys only clean 16 cars in a day? 1 person should easily be able to do 4 in a day even if they’re lazy idiots! #apprentice
9:53 PM Darren - @Helen Hear hear!
9:53 PM distantrambler - really funny just watching this and not seeing the program… we have quality TV at 9.00pm eastern … Rachel Maddow… ah
9:53 PM DaRadar - Will he fire 2 girls to make up for the guy who bottled out ?
9:53 PM elfinamsterdam - @darren yep, time and time again, at the end of the day we have seen that Allan is indeed blind. End Of!
9:54 PM SarahGriffiths - Anita said £19.50 and £19.50 is £39 – without the calculator – save her
9:54 PM stevenbenton - Watching #Apprentice, but then I suppose everyone else is?!
9:54 PM purplejp - Can’t wait for the Adrian Chiles show after – it’s the best part for me. Hope Nick & Margaret appear this year! #apprentice
9:54 PM Darren - Oh this is entertaining.
9:54 PM circeplum - How many business cliches can Donna come out with in one sentence? #apprentice
9:54 PM kitchendresser - “At the end of the day” Mona is annoying me so much #apprentice
9:54 PM omahonydonnelly - those 10 cars would’ve made the difference
9:54 PM omahonydonnelly - Don’t disagree w Nic girlie!
9:54 PM DaRadar - we all know how much he loves the cliches, but still anita to go i think
9:54 PM niamhsmith - Mona is nearly vomitting on the board room table there!
9:55 PM ilikedthecore - For the 1st task on #apprentice they should just blow the budget on scratch cards and hope to win
9:55 PM simonianson - Watching the Apprentice has reminded me of these superb YouTube videos from BolegBros. The Apprentice in lego http://bit.lyc/57XtA
9:55 PM icedcoffee - ew crazy eyelids
9:55 PM AJCann - #apprentice prediction: Debra will go far, but not win.
9:55 PM distantrambler - your all doing very good job on describing the ladies
9:55 PM danofthewibble - #apprentice Spending half an hour watching eight women backbiting each other when they were all equally shit is fun.
9:55 PM koffiekitten - #apprentice anita to go?
9:55 PM Darren - Bye bye Anita!
9:55 PM distantrambler - @Niamhsmith waves
9:56 PM niamhsmith - Aw Anita?? Didn’t see that coming
9:56 PM DaRadar - Yay, i’m right…what do i win :p
9:56 PM Darren - Probably the right decision, but Mono needs to go too.
9:56 PM omahonydonnelly - Oh, Anita – she was weak. He doesn’t like that. A bit surpised.
9:56 PM elfinamsterdam - @DR hey there!

9:57 PM SarahGriffiths - Don’t cry in the taxi Anita…you’ll regret it
9:57 PM DaRadar - Better to do something important badly than do something trivial badly…can’t decide whether american girl or geordie lad is more annoying to listen to
9:57 PM ruthward - Is that woman’s accent for real? #apprentice

10:08 PM lucas - can some on tell me what this is? is it just like chat?
10:08 PM niamhsmith - Anita looks much better here – but WHY do people ALWAYS look extremely orange on BBC2??
10:08 PM elfinamsterdam - @lucas we are watching BBC2 You’ve been Fired and chatting about it
10:09 PM elfinamsterdam - @Niamh yep there is an overlay on their tones there
10:09 PM gillalexander - #apprentice Interesting. La Voderman has said “You could have laid into Deborah (Breezeblock)”. Sooner you than me Carole. She’d crush you.
10:09 PM lucas - @elfinamsterdam so it is just chat rather than blogging?!
10:09 PM elfinamsterdam - @lucas well it gets posted to a blog… check it out www.elfinamsterdam.cocmc
10:10 PM nickhalstead - BBC budget cuts equals the winners get £100 pair of bartenders doing cocktails – #apprentice

10:11 PM lucas - @elfinamsterdam wow I have never seen this technology before! Is there somewhere I can chat to you more about it as I don’t feel this is the appropriate place!
10:11 PM niamhsmith - Lack of common sense girls
10:11 PM elfinamsterdam - lol, seriously have none of theses ladies know how to do anything manual
10:11 PM cpetzny - So Sir Alan thinks they have a better crop of apprentices this year than ever before. After today’s show I’m not convinced. #apprenticeuk
10:12 PM elfinamsterdam - @lucas i am new to it too. there are great help docs on it … if you have a look around the site
10:13 PM SarahGriffiths - Amazing that this post on your blog learnt two things 2nite, more about Scribble Live and never to go on the Apprentice
10:13 PM niamhsmith - Oooh clip of Celebrity Apprentice
10:13 PM niamhsmith - Raging I missed that
10:14 PM elfinamsterdam - @sarah yeah it was surprisingly easy. First time i tried this was at the Obama Inauguration
10:14 PM elfinamsterdam - @Niamh really? oh it was funny but edited and a bit too polite
10:14 PM niamhsmith - Debra had a close call with Sir Alan
10:14 PM SarahGriffiths - Oh wow, missed that…watched it on my Iphone though..so was being geeky at the time
10:15 PM lucas - @elfinamsterdam does it have to post to a blog? Can you have it not post anywhere? As I really like this idea but I wouldn’t want it to save to my blog etc.
10:15 PM dallsobrook - #apprentice who’s the woman with the big hair and offensively pink jacket? She looks like Stefan Edberg
10:16 PM elfinamsterdam - @lucas I think you can link to past events but i believe the live blogging part must reside here and point to a blog
10:16 PM Nutcroft - what was she doing on the prog if she’s not hard and ruthless??!! #apprentice
10:16 PM niamhsmith - What everyone else thought of Anita
10:16 PM mrgammon - Exhausted after a new televisual experience…The Apprentice and #apprentice on Twitter, we nearly died laughing. Try it next week…

10:17 PM elfinamsterdam - I think she was a lamb to the slaughter
10:17 PM niamhsmith - Yikes – lacked the most basic business skills – Sir ALan
10:17 PM Fiona_Mackenzie - Debra’s got more front than Blackpool! Wonderful bitch, with Rotterweiler in the pedigree #apprentice.
10:17 PM failedmuso - RT @Twistedlilkitty: I like the blonde girl who talks into the phone like a horse chasing a sugar cube that is just out of reach #apprentice
10:17 PM murphygrainne - What’s happened to Carol Vorderman’s face? She’s looking really weird nowadays #apprentice
10:18 PM elfinamsterdam - @Niamh well she did really, she was far too soft for that game

10:19 PM tonys - #apprentice “fiesty challenging character” == cow!
10:20 PM TUID - #apprentice Adrian Chiles is brilliant – “COW. Is the word you’re looking for!” Comedian man is a bit Simon Pegg-esque. I like.
10:20 PM elfinamsterdam - LOL Do the outside of the cars….
10:20 PM failedmuso - @Glinner I think we should start an Apprentice type weekly event in the vein of #badmovieclub Whadya reckon? #Apprentice
10:21 PM SarahGriffiths - Just realised you can change the sound on here on right bar….I could have however had mute..rather than Flick noise through the Apprentice…will remember for next time
10:21 PM elfinamsterdam - @sarah lol, the flick reminds me to look at the screen

10:23 PM elfinamsterdam - Opertunity of a lifetime
10:23 PM SarahGriffiths - I just realised I can have a glass of wine…as playing the apprentice drinking game at same time – and guessed phrase “in it to win it” – @gezd – set that one up on Twitter.

10:26 PM TUID - #apprentice Is it wrong that I’m more excited by the Nick and Margaret compilation clips than the whole of the rest of the show?
10:27 PM devcoach - What about the one who got away – do we believe Adam’s story? #apprentice
10:27 PM hennell - I think Margaret and Nick from the #apprentice should be in charge of overseeing bankers. Credit crunch would never have happened.
10:28 PM elfinamsterdam - Highlights???

10:28 PM niamhsmith - Audience back Anita & think she should have been kept
