Personally speaking I think the format is getting a little tired, surprised that Sugar has agreed to another. I think he has got to like the media celebrity!
I agree with Ken - like Big Brother, I think The Apprentice has had it's day... Will still probably watch it though (unlike Big Brother, which I never watched)!
How did the seat belt guy get on? A really good product but how many times did he have to say "I'm more interested in practical help than the money?" It was obvious to anyone but the panel that what he needed was marketing input but they needed to get across their sound bite put-downs. Hate the show, came across this episode during channel hopping but couldn't stand their smug egos.

You might be mixing The Apprentice up with Dragons' Den

Why not change Sugar, for Branson or Green.
I understand that Richard Branson was the original choice of the producers, but when he tested, he was abysmal in front of the cameras. For an entrepreneur who courts media attention, he really is dreadful on the telly.

He died :-( though not in a car accident. Saw a follow up where Doocan went round to his widow's house and was horrifically unctuous.
Agree with those saying this is getting tired. You know you're going to get a few characters who are only dreaming of getting some kind of a presenting gig on C5 and a group of egos who appear to lack in common sense what they make up for in gobbiness. There'll be one that's a bit of a barrowboy who will remind Al of himself, and so he'll put up with the fact that he's thick as mince for a few weeks - I think this will be Mr Baggs from the look of his photo. Then there'll be a cold bitchy woman and a whacky one who will cry a lot. Laura seems the hottest so I'd probably give her the gig on the grounds that selling rubbish electronics products can't be that hard. Otherwise he wouldn't pick from a group of people who will, at some point sell cheese at a loss. Or something.
I liked the sound of this plate faced fella
Alex Epstein spent much of his childhood dreaming up new products and credits himself with originally conceiving the bendy-bus.

I'll watch it but I know what you mean. Clearly some go on just to be on TV. Remember the woman a few years ago, in the end quit or turned down the job as she didn't really want or need it.
How many really believe their quote (like on the link or during the intro). Last few years I've heard

Have to agree Chizz Branson did have an aversion to tv at one stage.........Many moons agao I worked for him on his magazine Event...... mind you nowadays he seems to court publicity, someone once said 'he would perform if vigin opened a door'.
Sugar refers to bbc people as media type, but he has become less awkward with them over the series. The problem for the programme makers is that they have made the series around Sugar, trying to get him to let rip at the contestants, His 'I do not like bullshitters, smucks, and arselickers etc'....... Seems as thopugh you keep quite the first few episodes and then start taking responsability, or claiming to, even if you did not! Let's see if this series is different.
[cite]Posted By: ValleyGary[/cite]cant help but think all the women need a good shag, all the blokes a good slap and theres not one ounce of common sense between them.

Well he gave me a job....... ( Branson) so he ain't too fussy Henry.......
I think you will find that Phillip Green £4,330million and ' Richard Branson' have a few more bob than Sugar...... Richard Branson is the 212th richest person in the world according to Forbes' 2009 (Updated 03.10.10) list of billionaires, with an estimated net worth of approximately £2.97 billion (US$4.0billion). with over 350 companies..... I am sure he can find a desk somewhere!......

I like this programme.....and liked junior apprentice as well, but agree it needs freshening up.........how about an over 50's apprentice, it might work you........never know it could even be entertaining watching the 'blue rinse' and 'just for men' brigade having a 'pop' at each other!!!

Maybe they should try again now they are older and more hirsute
: - )
The blokes are all bound to be intensely annoying
Most annoying of all though will be Nookie's aid, 'Nick' with his stupid pouting lips and opinions that nobody gives a f**k about.
Should be good!
Will watch, many thanks for bringing my attention to it.
Found Junior Apprentice even more entertaining than this though!
Apologies, you're right.
Between the girls you have
Leicester
Birmingham x2
Nottingham
Warwickshire
And the other 3 girls from London!!

I take this to mean that he fked a bus.
How many really believe their quote (like on the link or during the intro). Last few years I've heard
"I'm probably the best sales person in Europe"
"I like making money more than sex"
And another along the lines of "I am arrogant"

Thing is Sugar is good TV and more importantly he offers the winner a job. unless green or branson are willing to do that it wouldn't work.
We would get on very well mate.
Junior apprentice just killed it.
