The Apprentice week one- hopefully Karren gets loose with that chainsaw and puts us all out of our misery

[dillite]

Well, that was long! See you all at 9?

Arachnophobia is only 105 minutes long so yes, will be there

Thank you, didn't realise it started tonight!!

It hasn't been massively advertised this time, or at least it didn't feel like it was in my face every 5 minutes.

I'm so excited I can't wait. I have to be up at 4.45 in the morning so I'm going to watch it in bed. I hope I don't fall asleep.

Anyone got any predictions based purely on their short 'meet the candidates' video?

I always do a prediction and one year I got very close to thr full final 5!

Anyone got any predictions?

Yay looking forward to it.
Taking bets on the women not being able to work together, shouting over each other and losing week1 in a cringey to be a woman in business way!

I never watch those videos, I fear I might break my TV from all the bullshit. Do we have many arrogant twats this year?

Oh if you’re after arrogant twats you will not be disappointed

I can’t wait, hoping for comedy gold again this year (Elizabeth the florist from last year will take some beating though).

This may be my last year. They are getting worse and worse every year. I reckon the majority are on it not for the investment but to see if they can celeb up!!!

I didn't bother with the final last year they were such limp finalists and then they both won!

My fave weeks are the scattergun multiple firings.

Even poor old Alun must being growing weary of it all by now.

I watch this programme to remind me of why I'm self-employed. Too many years of working with wankers like the contestants.

Elizabeth the florist from last year will take some beating though

Oh god I’d forgotten her. Can we get her on MN. I’d love her to be on AIBU

Hairspray is clearly this year’s comedy glasses

I have completely forgotten who even won last year. I do still remember Elizabeth though, she's not one that's easy to forget.

I want to know how much money Suralan gets from the BBC to make this worthwhile? Or has he nothing better to do?

They're irritating me already.

They all look about 12!

Where is the theme tune?!

Some funny looking buggers this year

They do don't they. There's usually a mix of ages.

Why are they all in bodycon dresses?

Who in their right mind thins that Claude is a nice chap?

Cold shoulders in the boardroom?

That royal blue dress is awful

I see Lord Sugar's on fire
