The Apprentice.

With the latest episode.. I'm sure part of the qualifying process is to make sure they have never watched the show in the past..


Said something negative about product in pitch..

Didn't expect to get fired.

Got fired for saying something negative about product in pitch.

I'd rather watch Chappers than the apprentice these days.

I don't watch it (saw a bit once because it was filmed in a building I designed for), but I do read the threads in the hope of a good quote I can reuse. Favourite so far is "don't tell me the sky's the limit - there are footprints on the moon!". Which I have used in real life. 

"The fish stinks from the head down!". I shall be using that one.

I'm a bit disappointed that Kurran Poona does not talk and move at the same time.  He's no Steven Toast.

I’ve watched it for years, with the increasing feeling over time that the characters and dialogue are hyped up beyond all hyperbole in order to make entertaining TV. Still, I’ve persevered and enjoyed the odd episode.

However, I’ve really struggled with this series so far - the first episode in particular - the candidates are so fucking annoying. It’s grating on me more than usual. Plus, the dialogue is now such that if people spoke to one another that way (especially Sugar and Karen to Weds the candidates), there’d be grievances and suspensions all over the place. 

Like with most reality TV shows, it started off as an interesting experiment but the hype and craziness overtook it and it has become a bloated, freakish monster.

That was a Pearl Jam song, no?

I believe that you're thinking of You're No Steven Toast by Sleater Kinney.

I hope that these guys do not ruin donuts for me.

They look so bad...

It’s currently on the tv box in my house. The trouble and strife is watching it - but I’m drinking coffee, playing bass and browsing this place.

It’s fucking shite - 15 fucktards trying to sell donuts for a profit of about 3 pence each.

And Sugar is cunt. I wouldn’t grovel to him and call him Lord sugar - I’d just call him Al and probably get fired. But then I wouldn’t want to be involved in this drivel anyway.

Rant over!

I think they should pull the plug on the format tbh. I stopped watching it a few years back and even at that I’d only watch the challenge then put it off.

I watch it for Al's puns...

I don't care if someone else writes his stuff, it worked for me with Kurran's broken arm.

How can anyone with even the smallest fraction of a brain think it's a good idea to stick whole Jammie Dodgers and Custard Creams on top of donuts?

And that was the winning team....

Because they were smart enough not to blast the donuts with Sriracha sauce!!!

Call me picky, but if one of those illiterate uneducated cunts uses ‘myself’ again when they actually should use ‘me’ or ‘I’, I will commit Apprenticide.

My pet hate .........call centre type automatons who keep telling me " will that be acceptable to yourself ? " when they should say You. I think they are scripted on this to try and sound businesslike but it's simply bad English. I t seems to have caught on.
 The other one that bugs me is "the only way is Essex "Cretins who say " Where was yous ? "

Never watched a single episode

HAL9000

Am I out of touch? Donuts that cost a fiver each? What planet are they on? I do appreciate that they're not 'artisan' (shudder), but my local ASDA sells five for a quid. Even Krispy Kremes (which are a bit of a treat in Chez 9000) are around the two pound mark.
