List_of_Jericho Posted December 7, 2017 Share Posted December 7, 2017 Gave up on this series a few weeks ago as they were all rubbish. The Interviews are TV Gold however. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newbornbairn Posted December 8, 2017 Share Posted December 8, 2017 Agree with the interviews being the best bit, catching the bullshitters out. "It says on your CV that you ran a department of 30 and brought in multi-million contracts?" "That is correct" "I contacted your boss and he said you made the tea" 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now he knows them personally it's just not the same. They have an idea what he's like, we know he's softer than his interview character as we've seen him every week and Claude himself appears tamer as he probably likes a few of them. It was far better when he never featured until the interviews. It was indeed the highlight of the show but last year's were nowhere near as entertaining for me. Seeing Elizabeth flap and try and brown nose the interviewers like she does Sugar and Co. should be interesting at least. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Fifer Posted December 8, 2017 Share Posted December 8, 2017 First year of me watching this, so don't know the format. A quick google of Claude's interviews has me rather looking forward to next week. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

well fan for life Posted December 10, 2017 Share Posted December 10, 2017 I actually think Claude's interviews are the worst of the lot now because he now knows them personally. I've always been a fan of Mike Soutar's interviews. He almost lulls them into a false sense of security before bringing the building down around them. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albertlegend Posted December 10, 2017 Share Posted December 10, 2017 As good as the interviews are I wish they would show us more of them, I always think there are too many shots of them going up and down in lifts, sitting in the lobby or psyching themselves up, just show us them getting their arses handed to them! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newbornbairn Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 Incidentally, should Michaela and Elizabeth have been fired for their behaviour? http://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/ladies-every-time-you-objectify-men-you-allow-sexual-harassment-to-win_uk_5a290dede4b03ece0300357d 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had Harrison or James asked to see the female models' stomachs or felt their groin then it would likely have been cut from the show and they'd have been asked to leave the process. If that's classed as sexual harassment for women then the rules can't be different for guys surely. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newbornbairn Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 I'm not offended by it at all. I think men are attracted to women and women are attracted to men. That either makes appreciative comments on the other is as natural as breathing imo. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boghead ranter Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 I'm not offended by it, but there is definitely an inequality over what TV allows from girls than it does from blokes. Take Me Out is my prime example - imagine going into a TV Exec's office and explaining the premise of the show, but with the gender roles reversed. You wouldn't get 2 minutes, far less getting your show commissioned. I could expand that explanation, but I sound dangerously like banana already. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take Me Out just shows how unbelievably shallow some women are. They keep their lights on if they think he's attractive and then after he says a bit about himself they buzz him out. The show wouldn't work the other way around because if a good looking lassie came down the tunnel and all the men fancied her, unless she said she was a neo-nazi then no guy would buzz her out. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jmothecat2 Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 It is different though. Women being objectified is a far bigger problem with a power dynamic that isn't there with women objectifying men. I don't find myself feeling offended or concerned with women objectifying men as I've fairly little experience of being objectified, it's not something I face in my career, or something that occurs in day to day life often, whilst that largely isn't true for women. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smpar Posted December 12, 2017 Share Posted December 12, 2017 Isn't every case going to be different, though? Can't people gauge when remarks of these nature are acceptable, or is it always unacceptable? Did that male model feel comfortable with the flirting and the comments about his six pack and somehow make this known, or was he just there doing his job when Elizabeth 'slipped' and touched his crotch 'by accident'? I'd imagine there are thousands of workplaces in the country where such comments and innuendos are reciprocated by both parties, and thousands where people (male and female) are pushed beyond their comfort zones by smutty comments and gestures. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flybhoy Posted December 12, 2017 Share Posted December 12, 2017 (edited) Im not personally offended by that stuff BUT, if women want equal rights (as they are perfectly entitled to btw) then it shouldn't be dismissed as banter or even acceptable for them to be making lewd comments about the male models and copping a sly feel. If a male candidate made a crack about the females having big tits or slapping their arses they'd be booted off the show and propaply face howls of outcry calling for them to be charged etc, equal rights means equal treatment in all situations.
