1 min??? i thought they were all arseholes by reading a summary of who they were on the daily mail website

Compulsive viewing for me - a bunch of talentless over-inflated egos having to put their money where their mouth is - epic fail all round.

I particularly relish the Interviews at the end of the series, when the full extent of their bullshit is exposed Grin

What astonishes me is that these wankers have all (presumably) watched previous series, yet appear to have learned nothing at all and make the same basic errors over and over again!

(I think my favourite moment was a few years ago, one team was running a Pizza stall and decided that for Chicken Pizza's they needed one whole chicken per pizza.....fabulous)

The only reason Steven was being a PITA was that no-one was listening to his sensible suggestions-particularly that twat who got eliminated.
Bully not a manager glad he went.

just finished watching the first episode, it's compulsive viewing it is so bad. Short skirts and make-up - what century is she living in ?

I missed last night's programme.

Have you seen this?

Judging by those ties, the guys should be avoiding any project to do with fashion.

pippinleaf · 15/10/2014 21:14

Oh ditto, they're just awful. I'm not going to watch anymore episodes. I would enjoy it so much more if they chose people who were ordinary, hard working folk who had business ideas and skills rather than arrogant children.

ballsballsballs · 15/10/2014 21:16

The candidates are almost always ghastly.

Bettercallsaul1 · 15/10/2014 21:16

I will continue to watch, but wearing sunglasses.

OVienna · 15/10/2014 21:18

I felt the same. It's no longer entertaining, it feels more like belittling of incompetent people. I'm having a total sense of humour failure about it.

cherrybombxo · 15/10/2014 21:23

Drudge I felt sorry for him at first for the same reason but I've taken a massive dislike to him since seeing the bit at the end, back at the house. He was talking a lot of shite, someone happened to pipe up and he very snippily said something like, 'excuse me, could you NOT talk over me?', pointing his finger in their face. It was unnecessary and I can see that he's going to be a total PITA. I've already sent three of them to Room 101 in my head Grin

YANBU OP - they're the sort of people that are easy to hate! Maybe that's the point - we love to hate them! Grin

I find the programme really entertaining, especially when somebody with an ego the size of the planet and a brain the size of a pea gets taken down a peg or two! It's especially satisfying when somebody really arrogant and overconfident suddenly realises that they are not the centre of the planet, after all.

MrsMarcJacobs · 17/10/2014 03:04

it's funny. They are obviously encouraged to play it up and the footage is cut to show them in a particular light. In the 'you're fired' show they come across as nice, normal people. I do believe the whole self-confidence thing is over-acted,but that's the whole point surely?

SquirrelledAway · 17/10/2014 04:13

I'll be interested to see how Lindsay gets on - so far she seems the most normal of the lot (so probably fired next time then).
