Don’t forget to check back here for the review by Ian Walsh as well.
Brian Purcell, the really serious looking right hand man of Cúchulainn, reckons that the eventual winner of the €100,000 job will become a hangman.
Cúchulainn reckons the bank bailout package will all come good in the end and he should know as he’s lived through rough times since he became a multi-millionaire. He’s gone through 5 recessions and we should just work our way out of it. Where the jobs will come from isn’t specified
“He [the Taoiseach] seems to have ticked all the boxes and has done it over a period of time. They didn’t rush into the panic station that the crisis was creating. They stood back and took a good view; and from what I can see, they’ve ticked the boxes. I’m sure that something will come up that we weren’t aware of, but overall it’s a tremendous package which gives great comfort to the banks and to the people they’re going to try to borrow for. There is money out there, whether it’s in Dubai or Russia or China. There’s lots of money out there, and I think this is going to stabilise the economy”.
The latest candidate to be fired, Derek Ramsey, has a go at the producers, the other candidates and the universe for what he perceives as unfair portrayal on the show. Thems the breaks Derek – you must have known that the bad tv people would edit things that might not make you look good.
Didn’t know Ronan Whitty was of Whitford House Hotel fame. Wexford People report he is now working for Aer Lingus, so he obviously doesn’t win then?
It was rumoured but it seems to be coming – an Irish Dragons’ Den – also produced by Shinawil and to be fronted by Richard Curran.
UK Apprentice is getting an airing in the US on CNBC – wonder will TV3’s version get seen overseas as well?
