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

[ArticSaviour]

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

Not at £6 per portion, no.

I’m fairly sure that in recent years, team names have been chosen after a few episodes.

I also couldn’t believe people were spending that much on tiny cheesecakes.

I bet the boys' hearts sank to their boots when they heard that one. They'll all be praying that he gets transferred to the other team.

Don’t the team names get chosen when they mix the sexes up, usually when they have to even the numbers up after the boys have lost the first few tasks

They used to choose team names in the first episode, but this was changed a few series back and now they do it when the teams are mixed.

There was one series that started with mixed sex teams - they were 'the red team' and 'the blue team' and they wore aprons/hats to distinguish them in the first couple of episodes before they were re-split and chose team names. I think that might have been the first time the team name wasn't chosen in episode one.

Obviously the mixed sex format from the off wasn't popular as it has never been repeated.

Is the candidate ever chosen because they showed less incompetence in tasks or are they actually chosen based on their business plans?

I don’t mean at the interview stage. I mean are the ones with a decent business plan kept in anyway?

Or do the business plans even matter until the interviews and Suralan is doing this for whatever he gets paid and it’s really just an entertainment show like eg Survivor?

Please make Asif go next week.

I'm surprised that Kar(r)en Brady stands for all this nonsense. She's a serious business woman, it's damaging to her reputation simply by association.

Suralan clearly has that in mind by guaranteeing him a boardroom if his team loses. Unless someone else on the losing side drops a total clanger, Asif will be gone.

Oh lord, that man is awful.

He really is repulsive inside and out. He genuinely thinks he is good looking 🤢🤮

The next challenge is a VR game.
I hope Asif spells Virtual as Virtul ( like the Arctic debacle) and is sacked.

Karen Brady worked for Davud Sullivan for many.years. There is not,hing this lot can do to either surprise her or harm her reputation.

I though at least the producers would put an end to the candidates having to march about in lines this season.🙄

Agreed it also looks like they are back in school 🏫

God a narc of the highest order! As-if he’ll win! And As-if he’s good looking 😂

Isn't is ace that the OP of this thread @ArticSaviour recalls that hilarious episode. Also: expert: "How many penguins are in the Arctic?" Candidate: "Um er (fishes round for a number)" expert: "There are no penguins in the Arctic, they live in the Antarctic".

Imagine if Asif does get transferred to the other side. It'll be high volume of women on the team. With him as PM.

I was just discussing Asif's bride business with my son (who I watch this with) and he wanted to know how its difficult to human trafficking. Probably has a fair point.

Is Asif the most unpleasant candidate? I really can't take to him at all.
I'm amazed that people paid that much for cheesecakes, but it was London.

The amount of mint the girls piled on top of each cheesecake was revolting.

can’t believe the prices of them either. Ridiculous

The prices did seem ridiculous.

Asif seems very much like Andrew Tate. So it's quite chilling that he has this much publicity.
Is Lord Sugar going to be invited to invest in his 'healthy' smoothie business (ask any dietitian - there is no such thing - far too much fruit sugar with none of the fibre benefits, better to just eat the whole fruit); or his submissive wives from abroad business?

Cheesecake base needed chilling

So rushed and ridiculous

Why wasn't team leader sacked the week before when he actually lost money

At least they made a profit

Didn't notice the OPs name, but yes!
