The Apprentice

Oh, and from Raj's ...
PS Please try to ignore the photo's - no I'm not after a modelling contract - the website needed some colour and that was the only quick solution!

(arggh!)

She's utterly vile though, and it's hard to see what talents she has. Were it not for Rachel's mind-map she surely couldn't have survived the Jukebox week, and almost every other time in the bottom three it really should be her.

i like to imagine that a.sugar got where he is today by gathering wild elderberries from the roadside on nights before [important sales pitch/business deal]

Can you imagine how I'd be if I hadn't actually watched this?

he was particularly recessive though

lex they are identically ridiculous surely? or do you take trump (haha "the donald", where is ivana now?) seriously?

You were watching this instead of GRAND DESIGNS SCOTLAND?!?!?

With the rock-climbing outdoorsy hippie mentalists turning a burned-out shell of a cottage into the most PRIVACY-FREE HOUSE EVER?

(Seriously. No walls - anywhere. Balconies and loft living and no sonic privacy - that place will echo like a airplane hangar. Not to mention BATHTUB IN THE MIDDLE OF THE BEDROOM! What are they thinking)

(The only episode of the Apprentice was the one with the yBa's because I liked the artists, but they were all repulsive in it.)

Is that the appeal of the show? Watching people get fired? Because I couldn't understand the appeal. (Then again, I never "got" BB either.)

Wouldn't you rather watch the kind of stuff your magazine is about (beautifully hand wrought ironwork) being used by Smart! Young! Urbanites! to reassure you that there really is still a market for said magazine?

yeah it suXoRz: i hate when magazines get killed (though there are some dead-still-livin which ought to be put out of misery i spose)

(on a sugar-ish note, it is possibly time i stopped devoted 8/9ths of my life to correctin the spellin of the writin of others, and concentrated fully on my own possibly)

i. saira gets the job
ii. we get to imagine a.sugar's rage and crestfallen dismay five mins into the working relationship!

she did have a point with the 'cheerio' comment though.

Comment from: Tony Linden
Francis the receptionist in the boardroom, looks bored and sounds miserable and shows she has a low opinion of the apprentices.

Comment from: James Max
On Francis - she is actually a production manager from Talkback and is called Sonya... That probably answers that one! She is known as Francis because Sir Alan's real PA is called by that name!

I am deeply shocked.

Yup, got it from Poundland myself.

Mind you, twas a long time ago, a pound was a pound then..

Sabrina should win this if there's any justice in the world. My fear is she will crumble in the interviews next week in the presence of an angry Claude.

They're all unremittingly useless and awful this year (yeah, OK, every year). Still convinced Kayoade would have walked the old format.

i am convinced none of them have watched previous series - the Sex Sells thing has always been frowned upon by sugar / brady

Remember the guy who couldn't stop mentioning that he'd been to Sandhurst? Or at least had been accepted to Sandhurst. Practically every idea he had was 'sex sells'. Even when he was on one of the two finalist's teams he said something like "let's go down a sexual route" regarding - coincidentally - a box of luxury chocolates.

Poor Sabrina, picked after kurran

Also, these people are selfie-obsessed

Another year, another bunch of alpha dicks...

Finding it hard to even care. They've jumped straight to a mid-series task with this South African safari/wine tasting thing.

Rob Beckett's dad.

I think the foreign visit was first last year as well.

Karen sabotaging the PM's business plan for the finale in the opening episode was a bold step.

He lost it a bit there.

week 1: shahin
week 2: kenna
week 3: souleyman
week 4: lubna

it's almost as if he's getting rid of the least english sounding names first...

Tommy is Sugar catnip, though

Did the tiny plate have all the crests on it?

Tory boy must go.

If he stood as an mp, they'd have to cancel this series

And now I'm all alone
In bedsit land
My only home

"indie band"

Well, that was... Yeah.

"breaking outside the mould"

Absolute classic episode tonight. Fish: literally caught from the sea.

They were definitely all at sea. You could say they were FLOUNDERing ahahahaha

Let's get Scotland wrong! A lot! Shower of bellends as always.
