The Apprentice 2024 - surely they can't all be twats this time?

[ArticSaviour]

Anyone else waiting excitedly for this year's bunch of arseholes?

Acted like he was 14 with the terrible rapping, inability to listen to anyone else and cringeworthy self-promotion.

Actually that’s a bit harsh on 14 year olds.

When the sub-team was telling him the consequences to the food of them being an hour late back he looked like he couldn’t understand the words or the concept. And it was an events task and he apparently has an events business proposal…

Amazed he didn’t go but assume he was deemed more entertaining than Ollie.

The Dr cheering when the boys figure was announced and everyone’s faces is surely an Apprentice classic.

I said I wouldn't watch it again, and I forgot last night, so I'm catching up now.
It's as awful as I feared. Why do I do this to myself ?!!

They could have done the Scottish dancing while the customers were having their meal inside

I think if the ladies hadn't messed up the meal they would have smashed it .

Yes. That has to be one of the most baffling moments on The Apprentice. Not baffling that a candidate with a self proclaimed "very high IQ" doesn't know the difference between profit and loss, but because nothing more was made of it.

How set up do you think the crumble thing was? Karen seemed to spot it very quickly and the client figured it out extremely quick and delivered his lines like a bad actor.

Could it even have been swapped? Must have been very fine crumble!!

I just don't believe so many people can be this incompetent year on year, without it being set up!

I feel a better test of their skills would involve a meeting with the clients first to understand what they want and have a better idea of budget, expectations etc. Then try and tailor the events to the clients' expectations. It seemed a lot of money went on food which they then had to cook themselves. Why weren't the fish cakes ready to cook - why did they need breadcrumbed? Why am I still watching this and getting annoyed?

I too suspect foul play with the fishcakes because, week after week, one team does something that convinces me they can't possibly win, and then they do. It's part of the script, I reckon.

After the last series, which seemed to introduce the "pay us but cook it yourself" options, the teams should just go for the cheapy simple option. At least there's more chance of doing it well.

I actually thought that toad-in-the-hole looked nice out of the oven!

I also agree that if the girls hadn't mixed up the crumble/breadcrumbs (was no one tasting?) then they would have had a decent profit. The clients seemed to enjoy the activities (Once that weird shit about the brown water was out of the way)

Possibly, but it only needed somebody to taste it at some point prior to serving.

I've actually had to forward through it to the boardroom it was so awful to watch
Both teams a bloody disaster
Awful

I don't understand the timeline. OK, so they didn't arrive back for lunch until almost 3 o'clock, but it can't have taken four hours, especially if they didn't enjoy the food? Suddenly it was five to seven and they had to go without having done the Scottish dancing. Baffled.

Non of them are good-looking. What a bunch of idiots

Really?! He can get right to fuck then (ant-Semitic tweet wanker). Just shows how thick he really is.

Just watching now as was watching the football yesterday

Crumble topping on the fishcakes 😂

They shouldn't have spent so long faffing on the trek, that's what made them so late for dinner - if they'd arrived on time, it was all freshly cooked ready for them and they'd have had the time for pudding and cringey dancing

id be delighted we'd arrived too late to fit the dancing in

Also glad to see more natural looking women, think we've only got 1 or 2 with the over inflated lips

Also I can take or leave alcohol, but if I turned up to a "welcome" drink of water id be really unimpressed. At least give me a cup of tea!

They must all be starving, they've had half a fishcake or one sausage, yet have been outside all day. Think they'll be stopping for maccy ds on the way home!

Yes u wasn't sure how timing worked.

They were supposed to have lunch 2. But arrived 2.45. Some discussion then they reheat food and serve. So say 3?

An hour to not eat horrible main seems generous. So it's 4. But they have to go at 7 and no time for dancing or eating a brownie? Very odd.

And one lot or wanting any drink and other client wanting it seemed unfair. Also both parties are clearly going to attend that away day. Neither is you going to say actually won't bother running it, so I don't know what they are negotiating about!

I dont get why the food was so expensive ie £37.50 for fishcake and fruit crumble if they were making it themselves?

Never had I ever watched The Apprentice until just now.
I thought they were all going to be super sharp business people with great ideas.
But this was quite a surprising shit show!
How the hell Mr DJ did not get fired for being a shit leader (not listening and talking over people), a big head (we don't need to know how fabulous you think you are), an idiot (getting everyone to do that dancing when you are making them late for lunch and everything else), and not reading the room (could he not see the participants had no interest whatsoever in his dancing?) I do not know.
They are all a load of idiots, aren't they?
So happy to have found you here and relieved that you all have the same opinion of them - I was worried were were supposed to be impressed by them. Didn't realise they're all pillocks.
They must be to go on this in the first place knowing that people all think they are complete thickos.
Are they always thicko twats?! Or maybe they just believe their own publicity?!

Yup looks like it and Sugar after that firing looks like the biggest one . What ? It's not business, its more ratings ... sooooo disappointed 😞

That guy complaining about the fish cake crumble! DH said they need to take him round the back quick for a 5 star reach around to rectify matters 🙄 . Been quoting the pie guy, can I ave some beans with me toast? lol

The doctor who claims to be good looking, but actually looks like a reflection in the back of a spoon, can’t do maths but wants SurAlan to give him £250k?

He was handed his arse on a plate of Dragons Den …

I really hate this "pay loads for food and still cook it yourself" thing that's appeared in the last 2 or 3 series, it's so bizarre. Presumably the task rules say they have to. But I can't imagine any sane person just nodding along when some chancer tries to charge £60 a head for the method and ingredients for toad in the hole aka a fairly easy-to-make budget meal 😂

As well as the black hole in time between about 3.30 and 7 for the mens' team that pp's have mentioned, the alcohol was another plothole. Virdi knew he'd promised alcohol and said it was needed so why not tell the catering team to go back and add it to the order on day 1 - they were outside the venue when they told him it wasn't included. Or sort it out at the start of day 2? Why did they wait till the guests complained - another random task rule?

There is always someone who doesn't shout over the others or seemingly put themselves forward. They are usually elbowed aside by the others, sidelined onto a task like solo brownie making, and can then be accused of not taking part. Sir Alan often falls for this ploy, and fires them. I'm sorry about Ollie, I would have liked to have seen him at least in another task.

DJ who thinks a lot of himself and blames others should have gone. In event organising, timing is key.

I thought I wasn't going to watch, but succumbed...Oh dear

Yes I never understand how it is so expensive if they have to cook it themselves

Can't they just go to the supermarket
