The Apprentice 2022

[Pebbledashery]

Couldn't see that there was a thread for this so come hither and place mark in readiness for tomorrow's first episode!

Predictions for a winner???

I’m saying Shama or Navid.

Aaron for me.

Thoughts so far...

1. Why the heels still in the 2020s? They look great but free yourselves!

1. Did I miss team names? "I was thinking Omicron"...

1. Hari looks/looked familiar. Is he in it every year?

1. Boujie sounds like a homewear shop that the GC might own.

1. PANTSMAN!!

Oh yeah, where are the team names?

2 years of Covid and I'd forgotten women used to torture themselves into those dresses with the heels too and it's apparently acceptable workwear. It looked very old fashioned to me, expected Joan Collins to slink on and start demanding deals from Sir Alan while threatening him with a Louboutin.

I wondered about the team names too. I thought I'd been distracted and missed it.
Very unusual.

Sugar's dad jokes are so tedious.

@buddhasbelly

You need to add to your bingo card
Lord sugar: I'm struggling (he says it withthe final 3 in the boardroom every week

And are they paid/bribed to all laugh heartily at his unbelievably cringey jokes.

Oh and finally when he was introducing Tim (but he hadn't yet walked in) they were all sat with dropped jaws in an unbelievably dramatic way. I bet half of them had never even seen that series

@Exhausteddog very true, I forgot he's always struggling

[quote ItsSnowJokes]This is still my favourite Apprentice moment ever. I laugh every time.

@ItsSnowJokes I saw someone wearing one of the wolf jackets in Glasgow yesterday! Incredible! My favourite episode too.

Most of them would only have been 9 or 10, so probably wouldn't have.

We think Sir Alan's inherited Bruce Forsyth's scriptwriter (the AK47 joke was funny though ).

@OhGiveUp

We wondered whether they were waiting until they'd mixed the girls and boys up.

Oh yay just found this thread will join next week

I wish we could hear Karen’s thoughts - although her expressions are pretty easy to read!

And the girls’ faces - when the boys’ logo was revealed, you hear the girls thinking - “well - we’re not losing this week - not to that!

Somewhat bemused Tim has replaced Claude for this - while he is a very nice man with good intentions, he's hardly a master of industry, or even his own sector.

I actually worked with him on a project. The work he delivered was shoddy, slapdash and fell far short of what was asked/had been promised. If I am being kind and he was a sixth-former, it would have just scraped a C-grade. Despite making all the right noises and assurances that revisions would be made to bring the work up to standard, he disappeared without a word. It was very bizarre and completely and utterly unprofessional.

PS. Fuck off Daily Mail, there's nothing for you here.

I think the men missed a trick with the logo.
with a different colour and the name they would have had a chance.

but at least they delivered goid entertainment

I like the name boujis - like a play on bijou

We wondered whether they were waiting until they'd mixed the girls and boys up.

That's what they did in the 2019 series.

Team names are 2nd week

I still can't get over that turd logo.

I think bijou is what they meant perchance? I thought bouji was more piss take/derogatory as in, 'les petits bourgeois' and 'omg since she's been on Love Island she thinks she's so bouji'...

@BorisBooster

The boys logo looks like someone has jacked off ! 😬

Exactly what I said to DH Jiz on legs

My favourite so far is Shama. An antidote to the heeled eyebrow brigade.

Ha! Project Manager woman who insisted on calling it Bijou had no idea what it meant hence her complete inability to explain it. How anyone works with these people, any of them, in real life, is a mystery to me. I guess they blag their way through and its it's only when there's a whole group of them that their idiocy shines forth as they try to out-idiot each other. Great entertainment though, hilarious.

Shama IS the eyebrow brigade!
