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 😆

I’m watching but struggling to get into until there are fewer people

Karishma is smashing it so far.

She is. I wouldn’t have a clue where to start with this one!

The other team are spending all their time arguing.

Oh that avatar (??) looks horrendous!

It’s awful, isn’t it?

How do they get ready in 20 mins at 5 am? I need two coffees, two poo’s, shower, hair, makeup and more.

The cars might arrive in 20 minutes, they don’t leave in 20 minutes!

I’ve a hunch that the 5am calls are probably just added on for dramatic purposes! I bet they have a lot more warning than that or told the day before. It looks too confluted.

Karishma should 100% be on the pitching team. That was a silly decision

Absolutely - as the only gamer in there.

I'm way behind but why did no-one ask what the weird boobs were on that character? Just weird...

Nice to see Karren recognising how much work Karishma put in.

Karishma has looked competent throughout the process so far. Mad to leave her out of the pitch.

Totally agree with Alan Sugar re the ridiculousness of 110 per cent.

Not only is Karishma the only gamer and the only one who really understands the game, she did a brilliant pitch for the water task. Have they all had a memory wipe?

Karishma is really standing out. She's going to have to really mess up bit to make the final five, if not the actual final.

Karen was really pushing for recognition for Karishma, nice to see.

Conversate is not a word, you silly man.

Lawrence is into full arse covering mode.

I think there’s going to be fireworks.

Glad he said that - it’s a nothing statement

I suspect Lawrence is a person with small round glasses and an opinion.

Lawrence looks like someone has squashed his head downwards. Clearly his brains squeezed out of his ears during that process.

Wussy call re Levi.

Go Levi!
