The Apprentice - Season 17 - 5th January 2023!

[RanhaThePiranha]

Looking forward to this! Anyone else going to be watching this?

@ReneBumsWombats 😅🤣🤣

Awwww I love that Akshai and Harpeet from last year have got together

I only found out they were together a coulle of weeks ago on insta , they seem happy don't they

Didn't see that one coming.😲

Ok, I'm picking Simba in the mumsnet sweepstake!

I've a bit of a soft spot for Mark. He was useless but endearing

Surprised Emma left, he usually likes a bit of spunk! She wasn't likable but I feel the "disruption" factor was massively played up by the other girls who could never admit to all being thick in choosing the beach!

I felt awful for Gregory when Alan compared his personality to Siri! Rude tosser.

Emma is just embarrassing herself on here.

She just eyerolled at Karen

Joe.

To go

Soon. A bit like George Lazenby. One outing enough.

Cannon-boy to win.

Can I have Shannon in the sweepstake

To be fair, it would have really pissed me off when they kept twittering 'ooh, but we all agreed on the beach'.

No, they didn't 'all agree'. A majority voted in favour of it.

Alan Sugar : There's a cost of living crisis and people are looking for value for money...so I'm sending you all to Antigua.

I mean REALLY. I watch this series every year so I know what I'm getting but even so. That's a piss take.

I picked Megan to win but I’ve just seen that she has a cafe and I don’t know that he’s going to want a second cafe owner winning two years on the row so I’m already doubting myself.

Marnie should've gone, unless Emma was more disruptive than what it showed. She was only correcting Marnie (who knew better) in those clips.

I'm useless for the sweepstake !I thought Kathryn would beat Harpreet in the final last year and I've forgotten most of their names in this years already !

Shannon or Gregory for the win!

Still time to change! I’ve realised that I can’t remember the last time we had a guy win so am also doubting myself

Yes, I was thinking that as well. I do like Gregory but I don’t think he’ll win. He’s one of those like Thomas or Elizabeth that are great contestants but never quite make it. Maybe I’ll go with Simba instead.

It's always cake or sweets, they should come in week 1 and anyone who isn't a nice lady who makes fancy brownies can just go home.

He isn't Lord Sugar for nothing.

Antigua is the winner here, it looked really pretty.

I liked Cannon Greg. He's not going to win, but shone at this task.

The rest are all still bedding down. Lots of very nervous laughter at Sir A's awful attempts at jokes.

Antigua did look beautiful!!

I think Marnie should have gone. She was the one who kept saying 'we all agreed' Emma was just saying 'no we didn't'. Marnie coukd have phrased it differently, or just STFU, there was no need to keep bringing it up. But she got what she wanted, she's there, Emma is not.

what was on that video link, @RanhaThePiranha . ? I can't open it.

I think Marnie should have gone, purely for insisting (can't remember her name?) Go in with 35% commission, that was ridiculous!

I'm going for Simba for the win. Well done boys 👏

Yep, there are all sorts of behind-the-scenes rules on The Apprentice. Daft as the candidates are, they're not so daft that not one of them would have considered splitting into smaller groups if they could.

Another classic example of an unspoken Apprentice rule is them not being allowed to use the Internet on tasks
