Ok, since the new series has started, I haven’t been convinced that these candidates are really Ireland’s best & brightest. However, after last night’s show I’m starting to think Bill has actually changed the format to a documentary, following mental people wearing suits.
All started off well enough with an exciting challenge to create a Mobile App for Unislim. The brief from Unislim was possibly a little demanding but it would certainly give the candidates a little scope for creativity. Then, Bill swapped around some of the team members, just to make it difficult for me to keep track of which team was which….thanks Bill.
It must have been daunting for Louise to come from Spirit, the “young ones”, and be PM for Zest, whose members were probably all older and more experienced. She handled the team well overall apart from Chris, who continues to be the most annoying candidate on the show. He probably did have the makings of some good ideas last night but nobody could stand to listen to him.
All this paled in comparison to Eoin, who was visibly crumbling as PM for Zest from the moment he started. His strategy seemed to be “ah sure that’ll do” and he can’t claim to have put himself under any pressure because his teammates were doing all the work, but nonetheless he became “flustered”. Next thing you know he decides he can’t take it and hops into a taxi and out of the show! You would think he’d have the decency to wait till the boardroom but he probably knew he would have been hung out to dry had he shown his face in there.
Incidentally, last night Connor mentioned that his business is selling wreaths and Christmas trees. Last week we heard Yinka’s business was based on selling hair extensions. No disrespect intended, but these are hardly the innovative and exciting business ideas I was expecting would be necessary to get through the screening process.
Anyway, amongst all this madness, Ruth had let her mouth run away during her team’s presentation and Bill did not take kindly to this when the candidates got back to the boardroom. Both teams had performed poorly, neither paid proper attention to the brief or came up with anything innovative and in the end Ruth was the one sent packing but really, it could have been anyone on the team.
Can anyone pick a winner from this bunch? Leave us your comment s below.

Was Eoin a joke candidate or was he for real? Mild Tourettes perhaps?#apprentice #tv3
