The Apprentice 2026 Thread 2 - Conversate here!

[IHeartMyTissues]

As we head towards the final stages, it's shopping TV up next - can the current bunch recreate the glory of James Max and the Wolf jacket? Will it be happy days or chuffin' hell?

The place for conversating about it all!

But her face didn’t move - she looked weird

Stuart baggs the brand

he was the prat candidate about ten years ago

I’m my no!!!! He’s got nothing

Yes he was a prat but streets ahead of this lot

I’m wondering if baggs the brand was Sam year as The Badger? 🦡

Here he is if you need reminding

Here

Yes Isle of Man - asthma attack

Stuart Baggs “big fish in a little pond” RIP.

Here the minnow moment too 😂😂

I take it back - he is as bad as greasy haired keiran

Ah, I remember Stuart too. I still laugh at his response to be called a one-trick pony - "I'm not a one trick pony, I'm a whole field of ponies running towards this job". 😆
Was sad to hear when he passed suddenly.

Don’t be rude. I am on nothing. I personally don’t know that many men in therapy compared to women. At least he’s owned his addiction.

I now recall him. Funny guy.

So glad that Karishma won. I thought it could go either way and was so pleased for her. She was a stand out from the start and I think there would have been uproar if she hadn’t.

The Badger was robbed.

Pleased Karishma won. I’d also read about the filming of two different endings.

Stuart The Baggs, so sad the way he died.

The Badger was earlier, series 2. Baggs the Brand was series 6.

The best series ever in my opinion was series 4 with Raef 'the spoken word is my tool' Bjayou 😃

My Apprentice username is from the tissue advert task in series 4, it was what Raef's team branded their tissues as (they lost to the much catchier 'Atishu' campaign by the other team).

“What are you on” is a turn of phrase when you are shocked at something

With all due respect may say more about the type of men you are around or perhaps they aren’t saying - the numbers aren’t as low as you think

It also means or used to mean to sly dig to imply that you’re on drugs or something too. As well as shocked at something.

Maybe you’re right about the numbers of men in therapy. Personally the 2 men I knew in their 40s who ended their lives in the past 2-3 years, one was in and out of therapy (business owner) and I guess things just got too much for him, and the other just put his head in the sand and ignored it, didn’t go to therapy at all. Both married with kids. A lot of men I know would still die of embarrassment rather than admit they’re depressed. Let alone go to therapy. Or go to the pub to laugh it off. Middle class area in SE London for context.

If your post to me was so inoffensive, why have mods deleted it then?

Has anyone tried Karishma’s skincare product?

I've just caught up on the final and found the whole "let's make a face mask" odd.
I thought Karishma had her product - some rosehip extract - then all of a sudden was slinging various ingredients in random amounts into an emollient base. Was the rosehip stuff in there too?
I'd also have preferred her to go totally down the road of "this worked for me" without the added "I'm a biomedical scientist" and "It's great to be back in the lab". The little bits of skincare knowledge she imparted are in any glossy magazine.
I've got a friend who's a consultant dermatologist (a real, qualified doctor who has worked for years in dermatology) and even they wouldn't claim to know "everything about skincare".
I guess Karishma's a good salesperson and that's ultimately the most important thing in this process.

I think it's be a she can't actually advertise her product, so they had to do this pretend product basically.

It's like they're can't use their actual company names etc.

Ah!
I haven't watched it enough.
Thanks, @tnorfotkcab

And that’s how I meant it - shock

you don’t need to be depressed to go to therapy
