The Apprentice 2026 - starts tonight - first stop Hong Kong!

[IHeartMyTissues]

Anyone else looking forward to the new series?

First task is the classic buying task, but it's taking place in Hong Kong.

There's also a new companion show - 'Unfinished Business' - let's hope it's a return to form after several years of the 'All About Tom Allen' show 😆

Yes, very glitchy for me.

😂😂😂

No way of cutting Levi out of this live stream was there

That wasn't too awful from North.

Thrive's is a mess. Nothing fun at all.

The 2nd tik tok is so boring.

Bold colours??

Totally, it was pastel blandness.

Same. Annoying.

He needs a pick me up of some sort, it's dire.

Don't give this man the mic!

So it’s potentially crap TikTok vs crap advert

Jeez that advert

Er er it's not a mountain - it's a zig-zag commute 🤣

It is a better ad, by far.

That is good

The Thrive pitch was good and the advert was excellent. Shame about the kids' banana milkshake bottle.

Yep that banana bottle well shite

Less Rocky , more Cocky !

Karen is so nasty she is condescending to anyone she speaks to …like she has a bad smell under her nose

The only good thing on the losing team was the tiktok live. Everything else was dire.

I liked Roxanne. Shame we didn’t see more of her. Didn’t know she existed before this evening

They should never have made the T look like an arrow. It's a law of Apprentice branding that if you replace a letter with an image or a symbol, you will lose. See 'First F dies' children's curry meals!

At least they didn't go with orange. Toxic warning alert...

There's usually more of a sense of jeopardy with the advertising task. Generally, both teams have someone who thinks he's Stephen Spielberg and someone who thinks they're an amazing actor but both adverts turn out shit.

This time, the bottle/carton and branding were rubbish for both but the advert and pitch for one team was head and shoulders above the advert and pitch of the other team which made for a predictable result and boring tv.
