The Apprentice.

Dear lord...

Myranda

Do we need to link the video again? 

Deadman

Odious bunch this time. I'm going to enjoy this!

Fuengi

Absolute gold. 

The high levels of greed and ambition of the candidates are perfectly offset by their levels of self awareness.

The opening trailer confirmed, without doubt, that every single one is a complete and utter cunt.

But as Claude said "none of them are stupid!" Of course he neglected to mention In the interview that they are complete and utter muppets..

When I worked for James Caan, I met Claude many times. One of the funniest and nicest blokes you’ll ever meet, cricket barmy.

But surely they are the “cream of British business talent”?

Also, I miss the absolute eye candy that was Andrew Brady in the last series. he was seriously hot.

I really don't get the appeal of watching a bunch of utter arseholes with no commendable qualities behave like selfish children with no self-awareness and no attempt to give them an epiphany that just maybe they and all their 'ideals' are the problem.

I also reckon the Apprentice actively contributes to an increasing incidence of similar behaviour and attitude by people at my clients. Which will shortly lead to some of them being ex-clients. It normalises utter amoral teflon ****ishness. 

Vapid wankers contributing directly to the downfall of civilisation. Mutter mumble munt.</Boring Old Fart>

Not much of a fan then?

Wis’d. I can’t bear to watch it anymore. And let’s us never forget that this is the show launched Katie Hopkins’ media career.

I’ve not seen the latest, so I’m commenting from assumption rather than knowledge (which is always dangerous!).

I thought the first couple of series were pretty good.  Different, creative.  It could have gone in the direction of showing some of the real challenges that younger/ambitious people face in solving business-based problems and supporting some more entrepreneurial activity.

But it proved too popular to be made that boring!

The BBC has to chase ratings (the popular press say that the licence payers demand it), so we get another dumbed-down series of sound bites that are easy to ridicule, and another bunch of the young and naive who (assuming that they develop some self-awareness in later lives) will probably cringe at most of their appearances in the TV clips.

Shame.

You'd be massively uninterested if they were a bunch of moderate, reasonable people who did their best but didn't try to hog the limelight.

Edit- I was posting before ^^^ was posted.

Ha ha to the Mitchell & Webb! That was such a great sketch show.

Fretwired

Past it's sell by date. Worth voting for Corbyn so the 'Titan of business, Lord Sugar' fucks off somewhere else.

HAL9000

Another season of deluded hopefuls trying to sell tat under slightly challenging conditions.

It seems a requirement for the selection process is "Never watched past episodes of the show"

I watched it, and enjoyed it, but it is a bit boring really. What never ceases to amaze me is how ignorant some of them are, and seem to have little awareness of just how life works, where places are etc etc. Didn't they go to school?

That kid who managed the bloke's team: oh, he's thick, should be some good stuff with him in it.

They all seem to be from the North West too.

I'd have fired the north American lass ( not sure if Yankie or Canadian) last night as well as the northern lass - Hated both immensely regarding their attitudes - You'd hate having to put up with either moaning like that all day

Made me laugh when one said 'where is Malta' and one replied 'near Spain' - then a pause - 'I think'
