I had to google those mitts. According to their website, they're not only supposed to improve the appearance of your hands, but also relieve pain and stiffness. They never mentioned that! Regardless, I still think the price is very steep.

Tbf my mum has terrible arthritis and would probably spend anything to soothe the pain.

odd they didn’t mention that

Turmerictolly · 28/03/2025 07:31

Liam is hopelessly out of his depth and so inarticulate - I’ve no idea how he’s managed to get this far. The vacuum presenting was a shambles. Mia is really stand out although a bit dead behind the eyes and Chisola, Amber Rose and the other one, Anisa? are good too. Jordan is full of himself.

Bruisername · 28/03/2025 08:49

Mia is quite arrogant but unlike Jordan she can at least back it up!!

XxSideshowAuntSallyx · 28/03/2025 09:11

There's something about Mia that I don't like. I can't put my finger on it. She did well yesterday though.

I like Dean though.

SkyOfficer · 28/03/2025 09:22

The grandson had zero personality, can't see him becoming a tv star of any sort. Even the conversation with him on You're Fired was so awkward.

workstealssleep · 28/03/2025 09:23

I love Dean. He is completely unflappable. People have a go at him, and he barely moves, just says 'yeah', while everyone around him is diggin holes. He is solid.

workstealssleep · 28/03/2025 09:25

Mia is great. Very competent.
Anisa is brave and creative.
Jordan has been very lucky.
Liam is hanging on by a thread, weakest link.

the80sweregreat · 28/03/2025 09:47

I don’t mind Dean either. I worked with someone like him once and nothing bothered him at all.
I wish we knew their business plans up front ( before Claude tears into them all!)

Yes I thought why on earth wasn’t that mentioned at all even by the company they brought them from.

I would probably put my money on Mia and Dean in the final (but depends on their businesses). I am not sure what Amber Rose is still doing there, don’t rate her at all. It was so clear that she wouldn’t put her face in the steamer because she was concerned about her make up (even though she denied it!),

The business plans are on the BBC Apprentice webpage.

Sorry, meant to add the link. Not full business cases but the outlines: www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/profiles/2lRR3xB8BgChSqRqPB7Nhng/meet-the-candidates

It possibly wouldn't have been a great advert for the steamer if she spent the rest of her segment with her make up like this!

I quite liked Max and found him handsome in an old-fashioned clean-cut way (no facial hair). Obviously not a great risk-taker, but at least he was articulate. Apparently he got married very soon before he then disappeared to do the Apprentice! I think Dean is one of those people who will be all over you one day and not recognise you the next when you're of no more use to him.

the80sweregreat · 28/03/2025 17:37

Oh, I didn’t realize they put the business plans up !
I’ll have a nose.
yes, agree that Dean is ( probably) the user sort.

Yes he is what I would class as decent in looks and temperament

NeelyOHara1 · 28/03/2025 18:44

Oh, Liam and the hoover actually had me laughing out loud. I would have been mortified, but I actually kind of love that he wasn't. Be more Liam, lol.

I once saw a regular presenter have the same issue with a vacuum on "Price Drop TV". The camera eventually panned into her face and obviously got someone to put it back together out of shot because it was miraculously reassembled when they panned out again.

RainbowSnake · 03/04/2025 20:59

Evening! I’ve missed the last couple of weeks live. Are the interviews next week?

IHeartMyTissues · 03/04/2025 21:00

Here we go ... finding out the final 5!

Indeed!

Jellykat · 03/04/2025 21:02

Evening all.. every time i see the recap i remember how abysmal this bunch are!

CrushingOnRubies · 03/04/2025 21:03

evening all! It’s getting to the sharp end now

sovielverloren · 03/04/2025 21:04

I'll be watching from 10pm so will try and stay away from spoilers...
Earlier this week I was trying to remember who was still there so I could list my final 5. I completely forgot Dean existed!

IHeartMyTissues · 03/04/2025 21:06

"I've got a fashion business on the outside"? Where does he think he is, Wormwood Scrubs?
