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?

If it's not him I'm apologise profusely!!
Did anyone else see him?

I've just rewatched it and it wasn't him.

Oh no!
I was sure it was 🙈

I haven't read all of the thread, so apologies if this has been asked -
Have they stopped doing the fired person in the taxi at the end?

Ok, thanks, I must have missed it.

I must have missed it too! No recollection of Emma in the taxi.

No men v women or just three in the boardroom. Plus the overseas task on first. All a change from the norm.

Thank you! I thought I hadn't seen her in the taxi having her exit interview!
Yes, I think they've changed a few things.

Emma was in the taxi - it perhaps wasn't as long a taxi scene as in previous series. She just said LS had made a big mistake and it wouldn't stop her.

Never mind Karen. WTF has happened to Trinny Wood all? She was on Dragons Den.

Oh yeah I saw her on the One Show talking about joining DD holy moly!!!

Tre Lowe is going to be in one of the upcoming episodes, it’s on his insta

Also delighted to hear I haven't started imaging things 😆

billysboy · 01/02/2025 19:54

I think whoever advised Trinny about Botox etc was certainly the apprentice

FagsMagsandBags · 02/02/2025 06:46

Rock, paper scissors was safe because he sold even though he sold at a loss. It was always going to be team leader with lovely eyes and zero personality, Emma or geezer bloke with slicked back blondish hair who also sold nothing if I'm remembering correctly. I'd have kicked him out although I'd probably have been unfair because one of my reasons was taking an instant dislike to him and his face.

I wonder how they work it so that someone with a brilliant business idea is not fired, no matter how plank like their contribution on a particular task?

I imagine editing plays a big part in this. Sometimes you barely see a particular person in an episode. I think they edit not only to favour those with good business plans, but also to keep in the arsey ones who will make good telly by being argumentative and obstructive.

JandamiHash · 02/02/2025 20:41

I’m starting to watch it just now. Someone who lives round the corner from me is on it!

Why are they all such wankers in the intro?? “You can sleep when you’re dead”.

Eh? You want to purposefully function at a much lower productivity rate than you have to?

”What others earn in a month I can earn in an hour”.

Why do they sound like those nutjobs who’ve fallen for pyramid schemes?

Looking forward to finding out the businesses. Remember last year the woman who put sweets in clear plastic bags and thought it was original 🤣🤣

Didn’t they do that last season? One candidate we couldn’t understand how he was kept in.

I wouldn’t be surprised if the team identify 2 or 3 people with fairly normal, investable business plans and tell Lord Sugar that at least one of them has to get to the final 5

The 97 year old man looked bloody fabulous. I also think there's nothing wrong with being freindly around the place, it wastes minutes which is nothing and gets you geared up on your selling. I also think that if you want to sell in the alps then maybe don't go round in your estate agent suit looking like a spare prick at a wedding.

It's stunning. I want to go to Austria. Although not standing on that thing at the peak of the mountains. I'll e-bike it through the forest and then do Vienna.

Same. I’d even do the yodelling that woman was fantastic

JandamiHash · 02/02/2025 21:37

Theres been some cracking Apprentice moments. There was one series where one contestant described himself as “a good Jewish boy”. But it turned out he was a liar, his mum was Jewish and he didn’t even know what kosher meant.

And another where I think she was called Samira ran up to a woman when street selling in London and started to speak French. The woman was not French

Selling the wolf jacket on QVC was the best moment of all time.

Or the mini trampoline when that bloke looked like he was fiddling with his cock 🤣 I’m sure that was The Apprentice

I think they're encouraged to be stupidly obnoxious in those.
