Did anyone else watch The Apprentice Special on the Weakest link at teatime tonight? Now I realize that these were people with huge egos and arrogance to match but some of Anne Robinson's comments were so caustic as to render some of them literally speechless. How does she get away with it?
I haven't felt that uncomfortable way since watching The Office!!!

I am a big fan of the weakest link and watch it regular.
Missed it today though.
As a Welshman most people would forgive me for not likeing Anne Robinson,but I think she is great and while her comments on room 101 did not go down well with the Welsh nation as a whole I thought it was very funny.

I cannot stand that bloody woman. She is just rude, plain and simple. And how come she can't pronounce the "r" in the name Peter (Pee-tah) but shoves in a superfluous one when she talks about Canada (Canader) or Australia (Australier)?

I've watched THE WEAKEST LINK a few times, but never caught on with it. I agree with the above statement.

Mmm - I think perhaps that is part of the accent she has fashioned for herself...

Still doesn't sound like a Liverpudlian though does she?
