I have always wondered this. Anyone ever been offered crap street food? Seen them running around shops looking for obscure items?

unsuspecting tourists being duped by what they think is an established and respectable company

They have to sign release forms to be shown on TV, so I'm sure they have the circumstances explained to them (at least to the point where they know it's a bunch of random twats in suits and not an actual tour company).

a friend of mine was a winner of the young apprentice. she said it was not 20mins they had but it wasnt that much more, its like all tv in that its never exactly as it seems.
shes still in contact with sir alan sugar and has not yet decided how to use the winnings

One of the contestants a year or two back was interviewed by the Mirror:

Revealing why the candidates look so pristine just minutes after being told Lord Sugar's cars are arriving, he said: "The cars are there in 20 mintues. I'm not going to say they leave in 20 minutes.

So the cars will be there in 20 minutes, they may not leave in 20 minutes, they may leave two hours later. I'm not saying anything just think about it.

One of the contestants from a few years ago works at my place. It's a big place and I don't really know him, but by all accounts he fits the Apprentice image perfectly ie he's a dickhead and very full of himself.

There is some bizarre editing.

Last week, Claude was with the team when they lost the deal to get the corporate ice lollies.

He was then with the other half of the team when they received the call from the team telling them that they had lost the deal.

Has he got a transporter device?

My ex said they did have 20 mins to get ready but from the phone call, some people did get up earlier. Also if you didn't look right, they sent you back to sort yourself out so if you aren't ready you will get more time until you are

GabsAlot · 13/10/2019 22:57

Oh tell us who he is @mintich

Loveislandaddict · 13/10/2019 23:18

I remember posh Raef.

Not witnessed any Apprentice action.
