to refuse to watch the Apprentice because it is so full of knobs (and be sad about it)

LOVE the apprentice, but as the years go by it seems that instead of looking for bright entrepreneurs they have sought out the most obnoxious, big headed goits they could find.

Watched the first episode and switched it off after twenty minutes because I could feel the Rage coming on with the bickering and out-shouting and arrogance from the candidates. Made me really uncomfortable.

AIBU to no longer watch it, even though I used to love it and enjoy the concept. Should I give it another chance, do they calm down?

It is never unreasonable to not watch a TV show.

They pick the people who they think will get the best ratings.

The change in the prize (investment in business rather than working for SurAlun) means that there is no risk involved. They won't actually have to work with the winner, the £250k is just absorbed into the costs of making the show (which earns much more than that).

Its such a shame though because I used to really enjoy it. There are other programs out there to showcase the mentalness/arrogance/weirdness of society (Made in Chelsea, Big Brother, X-Factor etc) this was a show for those interested in business.

I'm sad they've spoilt it.
