All Philler, no Killer - The Apprentice Thread Three

[ArticSaviour]

New thread for tonight as we have nearly reached the end of Thread Two

The seed investment is what Dragon's Den is for.

Initially The Apprentice did invest in people. I remember some inventor guy who was very smart but couldn’t do the business side.

Remember when a woman sued because she had given up her good role and there wasn’t really a job for her. Is that when the format changed?

This. Watching Sugar politely told to shove it made my day. Time for the programme to get a complete rebrand and send Sugar and Baroness Brady back to the Lords.

Thing is, Sugar knew it too. I had a lot of respect for Paul at this point! Paul was the only one fired "with respect" I think? (I.e. "you clearly don't need my investment and you know it, goodbye")

The "interviews" were scripted boringness I half watched. As people have said the next series needs a reboot. I was thinking perhaps it could go back to being for a job but with outside companies/organisations etc coming up with them? That should give more scope for variety of candidates and tasks I would have thought?

Maybe the Apprentice has just run its course. Time for a new programme but that takes money and risk so the Apprentice will probably limp along. I presume the viewing figures are still reasonable when there are threads here/other SM.

I don't like Karen much either

I think Margaret was kinder as is Tim

Yes it was better when he needed an assistant

I can think of a few other shows which are past their best but are limping along because they're seemingly popular and it's too much of a risk for anything new

It's not changed with inflation has it so isn't what it once was when the format adjusted.

I'm sure we'll be seeing more of Tre, and even if it was purely a PR stunt, (likely) he's raised his profile in a very positive manner (as long as we forget about the juice). That bothers me much less than Phil limping to the final.

Yes agreed - every series you get a few personalities who use it as a springboard. Nothing wrong with that as they can be entertaining

I atree @BogRollBOGOF

*agree

I have to collect DS from training at 9, so will be about 10min behind - but I'm saying it now...... Phil will Win (no other reason why he's still there!)

Sadly have to agree with you @RonSwansonsChair

So, are we all ready to watch Phil be an unworthy winner.....

Unfortunately that's my assumption too@RonSwansonsChair.

I know Phil is going to win this but I’ll still be annoyed when it happens. Rachel has been a much better contestant.

Evening all, wondering if it is even worth watching.

I cant watch live so I'll just be checking the thread. Assume Phil will win and considering his mediocre performance in the tasks, this years feels very rigged in a way I don't think it has before.

ooh the gorgeous Painted Hall.

Fucking Maura. Silly mare

And Raj's smug smile annoys me

Why are most of the women wearing colour coordinated orange?

Orange is the new black😁

And blue suits for the men.

It’s like a really awkward wedding
