Is there an Apprentice thread, or am I the only one still prepared to watch?

What the title said.

This year's crop of wankers are up in 15. Any takers?

I’m not sure whether Keir or Carlo had the luckiest escape there

FagsMagsandBags · 30/01/2025 22:00

Okay I dislike Carlo or Karlo or whatever as well and look forward to him fucking up again as he surely will.

Tom Pellereau

That's the one. I really liked him.

Spectre8 · 30/01/2025 22:01

I was quite impressed by Jana, he did some good negotiating, had a plan went in executed it really well and got great deals. Quite refreshing to see

Every year they prove me wrong. I always say it can't get any worse yet it does. Surely there must be a bottom to the 'talent' pond that has been reached by now.

ViolinsPlayGentlyOn · 30/01/2025 22:02

Disappointed that there isn’t a new host for You’re Fired. I really don’t like Tom Allen.

SabrinaThwaite · 30/01/2025 22:03

I’m about 20 minutes behind on catch up, they’ve just finished trying to sell (oh my word, clusterfucks all round) and they’re busy stabbing each other in the back already.

Pond life is more interesting and intelligent than this lot. The bottom of the barrel has been scraped and we're through to the mud and shite it's sitting on.

The guy who negotiated the commission on the honey.

Beekeepingmum · 30/01/2025 22:05

That is one of the woeful starts there have ever been.

Bitter guy? Who chooses bitter as a code word when buying honey,,,,,,

I think it was “bitte”, as in the German for “please”

Also impressed by the yodelling woman

We were watching with subtitles (DH hard of hearing) and they subtitled her as 'yodelling badly' which we thought was very unfair!

CrushingOnRubies · 30/01/2025 22:08

Thank you

Referring to this website a lot

TitsInAbsentia · 30/01/2025 22:12

Well at least I won't have to deal with Emma's bad smell under her snout face again!

When The Apprentice started, Adrian Chiles hosted it. At the time, he was best known for presenting business programmes.

Since then, it's always been hosted by comedians. I think that typifies the change from an entertaining business competition to an entertainment programme which is edited for as many laughs as possible, gives impossible tasks and loves making the contestants look stupid (although that's not much of a challenge).

IHeartMyTissues · 30/01/2025 22:18

@ViolinsPlayGentlyOn I keep hoping Tom Allen will move on, but no. He ruined YF by turning it into The Tom Allen Show. Dara O Briain was the best YF host in my opinion, but Adrian Chiles was also good.

CandyLeBonBon · 30/01/2025 22:18

I think Emma was the right choice

Yes to Dara O Briain. I also liked Adrian Chiles and Rhod Gilbert. Jack Dee was ok.

I had to stop watching it when Tom Allen took over. I tried a couple of times but really can't stand him.

IHeartMyTissues · 30/01/2025 22:25

There was no point in Emma saying "I gave the task my all" etc. when Suralan asked her to justify herself, because she hadn't noticeably done anything. She'd have been better saying something about herself, how she built up her business against the odds or somesuch.

Treeleaf11 · 30/01/2025 22:25

We also turned over to BBC2 hoping someone else had taken over from TA. Sadly not

Treeleaf11 · 30/01/2025 22:26

Emma didn't speak well in defence of herself at all.

Sunshineandoranges · 30/01/2025 22:31

I would really like to watch the first series. I tried on iplayer but they did not have it on there, any ideas?
