Can't believe this is the first thread I saw as I have just started watching apprentice. H says it serves me right for being on hitched when watching tv!!
For the first time in ages tonight I watched The Apprentice with the rest of the nation, but pretty much any other week I'd have had you hunted down and killed for that spoiler.
I can see both sides of this, to be honest. While putting a spoiler in a thread starting immediately after the end of the show wasn't the most sensitive thing to do, it's not really the OP's fault that other people didn't watch it live and are instead on a message board where the programme gets discussed each week.
But then I don't have a clue who Ben is as I don't watch the Apprentice.
No - it would be better to keep it on the top and rant seeing as my viewing pleasure has now been ruined ? (that is a choked and forced laugh by the way)
Trust me - it's a big deal. I watched an episode a couple of hours late a fortnight ago, after making the cretinously stupid mistake of checking the headlines on a news site before hitting the sofa. It utterly ruined it for me, because most of the fun comes from the suspense of not knowing who's for the chop. What was even more galling was that JK didn't know, so I just had to put up with her enjoying it!
Wordsworth maybe you'd like to come and deal with my not wanting to go to bed 4 year old next week at 9pm? Not that easy for all of us to drop everything to watch it.......not like many people talk about it on here or anything!
I sky plussed it to watch slightly later and wasn't on Hitched during apprentice time, but although it would have been best if the OP had said "spoiler" in the thread title, I tend to think if someone isn't watching live then you have to expect the result may be given away, and it's fair game. It's not like she's told us who gets kicked off next week, before any of us had the chance to watch it.
I'm sure the OP didn't post to purposely spoil it for anyone but the spoiler was in the title, not in the thread so there was no way I could have avoided it like I do the dedicated thread.
But no, it's not really the end off the world. I was mildly miffed as I was watching it delayed and they'd just gone in the boardroom.
No, actually I am really pissed off. i ignore news etc because I can't watch on a Wednesday. I come on hitched because it is a safe zone, and I ignore any 'apprentice' posts. until I can view. The OP is not a newbie and has really annoyed me.
Hang on a mo, the Numpty Watch Apprentice thread a bit further down has who got kicked off on it (a few minutes before JB posted too)but no mention of putting spoiler in the title. I see that the thread title as 'apprentice' in it, but no 'spoiler' so whats the difference?
I fucked up. I'm sorry. I didn't mean to ruin anyone's enjoyment.
Just 'cos I'm not a "newbie" doesn't mean that I can't make mistakes. As I said, we don't have pause/record TV so it just didn't occur to me.
Seahag - I didn't do it on purpose, seriously what more do you want me to do about it now. I changed it as soon as I could. Although maybe I just don't get it because there has never been a book / film / TV program where knowing the ending had ruined my enjoyment of the lead up to it.
JB, its only a TV prog so dont worry about it my lovely, things happen and the world wont come to an end if people find out who left a reality show before they get a chance to see it. Easy mistake to make by anyone. xx
Actually I completely and utterly over reacted last night. I am really sorry about that. It was silly and I hope it hasn't upset you too much. Please accept my apology.
