The problem is Phil keeps managing to duck responsibility so there’s always someone else more to blame for the failure of the task.

Raj had to go this week, she made so many errors as PM.

And I suspect by this point in the process Lord Sugar at least knows who he couldn’t work with, which was probably behind Maura’s exit.

IGotItFromAgnes · 29/03/2024 16:30

There are a couple of interesting AMAs on the Apprentice subreddit if anyone’s interested. I get the impression neither Raj nor Maura liked Flo that much, and they’re both pretty anti-Phil!

What has happened to this show? It’s so shit these days. The calibre of candidates is a joke. Won’t be watching anymore.

What was Mauras business plan?

What was Mauras business plan?

Online yoga I believe

I'd have targeted that walking machine for people with desk jobs helping keep their legs moving

(Not that I'd get one far too lazy)

But that would have meant giving specifics about the products, which was something everyone seemed reluctant to do.

This is an insane task to muck up. It’s in every series. Surely everyone turns up to the Apprentice house having spent a morning watching shopping channels and making a few notes?

xSideshowAuntSallyx · 29/03/2024 21:38

Honestly Raj and her 'wows' and Maura and her shouting were enough to make people switch off. Not one bit of information about what you could use the item for, or how easy the tent was to put up.

They didn't tell you anything about the fan and even turned it round at one point so the viewers could only see the back.

How is Phil still there? Although them ganging up on him in the boardroom may have backfired on them.

lul1 · 01/04/2024 12:35

It's just so stupid now. How many people that have their own business would be able to go on tv live? If they did they would be surrounded by people who know what they're doing.

It's just like big bro isn't it? They go on the show knowing they will look like an idiot but they will get more insta fans!!!

Oh dear Lord vegan cheese.

TitsInAbsentia · 04/04/2024 21:11

Did Phil say bacon?

Piggywaspushed · 04/04/2024 21:13

How on earth is anyone supposed to brand a cheese they haven't seen, and which has no ingredients??

43ontherocksporfavor · 04/04/2024 21:15

It’s ridiculous. Anyone would fail at these tasks . This show gets worse.

Beekeepingmum · 04/04/2024 21:18

I'm not sure anyone has ever made nice vegan cheese.

Beekeepingmum · 04/04/2024 21:21

They literally have a chart topping performer yet Flo is doing the rap????

Well quite

That sneaky basket has scraped through again hasn't he!

Yup!

Bitter sweet for me this week. Paul's still in but Flo and tre are through
I also liked Feluso despite her flaws

Acatdance · 04/04/2024 22:04

I completely agreed with Foluso's point that the other team's branding was equally crap (even with two of them on it), and it stood or fell on the flavour of the 'cheese'. Suralan had basically decided at the outset who he did and didn't want. Foluso shouldn't have been fired on that task,

43ontherocksporfavor · 04/04/2024 22:16

She was given too much to deal with. Packaging was awful. But I do fancy curry flavoured cheese!

Doingmybest12 · 04/04/2024 22:16

I agree with Fuluso too. The others did win on their flavour. They had two heads to come up with an idea , she had loads to do alone without direction .

Acatdance · 04/04/2024 22:19

I'd certainly take it over truffle flavoured cheese - I can just imagine the stink of that Envy

Ellmau · 04/04/2024 22:39

Foluso was hung out to dry by being made to do all the branding solo.

Both 'cheeses' sounded vile.

Some awful pitching on both teams too.

CapitalKnockers · 04/04/2024 23:18

I felt so sorry for Foluso. She got totally shafted by the others in her team. She had to do everything alone (out of everyone and that includes the other team).

I was also surprised they had no orders and the other team had loads. It didn't look that way with the editing of the show tonight.

lemonsaretheonlyfruit · 05/04/2024 00:29

As soon as they decided on gourmet - then used the term 'spread' my heart sank. I know they won but it was all awful. The font, packaging 'spread' - gourmet went out of the window. Awful.

I actually preferred the concept of big softey but the taste, video etc was crap. And agreed. Foloso had too much of a big job on her own
