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

[ArticSaviour]

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

Chorley!

As in 'Chorley FM - coming in your ears'

I was at university with a lad from Chorley. He was a prick as well

This has me in tears laughing :)

Anyone fancying cheesecake now?

And the novelty different every week mugs

Very impressive. Unless she screws up massively, she will be on Suralan's radar already.
Though selling on a market stall is always his number one priority so she will have to directly sell well too.

The Irish woman was dressed in a peplum 'co-ord'. It was desperate.

The team lead took all the credit for the profit even though it was the negotiations that clearly won the task.

Who wants a whole fig on top of a teeny tiny cheesecake?

I do 😳but I am obsessed with figs. Can never find them unless dried 😨

I don't like figs so they wouldn't have been for me, but I do think they missed a trick by not selling them as "demogorgan" cheesecakes. The looked like that to me on screen anyway.

He’s from Chorley apparently?

Edit: I see his Chorley credentials have already been revealed.

Chorley brings back memories of Mawdsleys Eating House (I think that was name of the place) and its secret (?) kinky room - I did have the best ever monkfish with lobster sauce in the restaurant though.

They.ve actually got one or two girls with a brain cell or two this year. How on earth did that happen? I thought intelligence was banned.

Asif is soooo freaking arrogant!
Love Paul M’s smile!! He’s lush!

The girls would have made an even bigger profit if it had just been a slice of fig on the top....figs are pricey!

I wouldn't buy from anyone that didn't have a proper set up and a food hygiene certificate on display....do we think the bloke churning the cheese with his hand had genuinely scrubbed up before doing that? 😷

"I wouldn't see a gynaecologist for a brain tumour" great line from Asif!!

Don't the teams usually have to pick a name. ?

Every single one of the boys has a beard! They all looked bloody stupid with the beard nets over their noses 😂

Check out beans wi mi toasts insta!

His hair is glued on!

One slice of fig would have been enough on that cheesecake. They’ve clearly never heard ‘less is more’. The girls trounced the boys. Is it from next week he mixes them up?

Yeh agree, I was saying "one slice of fig" at the girls.

Paul pie had to go didn't he. I really didn't get the insistence on chocolate - it wasn't as though they had an already-created brand that was all wrong - he could easily have said oooh we'll do a fruit one.

Also cannot believe anyone would pay £6 for a tiny cheesecake. And yy @TitsInAbsentia I was worried about Tre with his arms in the mixing bowl. I'm fairly relaxed about food hygiene but I was hoping he had washed....

Never saw the boys add the melted butter to the crumb base, did we? Was that why they fell apart?
Anyways
I'd never pay that much for a pile of hand churned by a bloke cheesecake. Where were the gloves, boys?
Dr Asif. He sets my spidey senses off. Big time. Something very chilling about him mixed with a side of desperation.

Yes we seem to have skipped that particular pot of awkwardness this year...shame...I am still waiting for my faves to come up...

What is notable is the contrast between Dragon's Den, which precedes it, and the Apprentice.

Over the years the DD contestants have got much more professional and usually know all the numbers etc.

It's the opposite with Apprentice - to get on the show now you must need to be able to demonstrate a level of utter incompetence.

Yes, what happened to the aspirational names?
Challenger
Zenith
Apex

They will pick names once it stops being boys v girls

So agree. 17-year-olds on DD know their numbers.

But on The Apprentice, it's all "I can't do math". And all the women want to open cake shops or beauty salons.

Last year was particularly bad. The women could hardly walk, they were so hobbled by their stillettos.

He'll have to, now that the boys are two people down.
