    I noticed that the introduction boardroom scene was filmed after they had done the task. Either that, r they have all 'gone into the process' with one feckin outfit

    Suge can retire on that £1.87 profit.

    Love how even the winners made £200 profit between 9 unpaid workers doing a day long shift.
    And without paying for prime London pitches

    Think they should start filming it somewhere else. Try selling a salad for 9 quid in Rotherham!

    Slowish trade? They'd get f*********** lynched!!

    Can it see being fun to watch David "Swiss Army Knife" Brent over the next few episodes.

    That description made me laugh: so he can do loads of different things but all of them extremely badly. Twat.

    Like every other series so far, I will not be watching.

    To be fair they have 24 hour to think of what to sell, make it, get there and sell all of it without any experience in that particular trade and in a part of London many of them will not know.

    There are always some really stupid ones and some that simply seem incapable of working with others but I wonder how many of us would do an amazing job when taken so completely out of our comfort zones.

    watched it last night, used to like the programme when it first started - now it just winds me up, will watch the first half hour when they are doing to task and then turnover at the boardroom bit.

    the producers must have a great laugh sifting through the applicants each year.

    I was the same to be honest, don't think I'll stick with it this year.

    It's not the same without Nick and Margaret either.

    Sugar is still the most cringeworthy thing in it. Watching these idiots suck up to the bloke when he's made so many business mistakes himself is bizarre. I did find it funny how at the start he gave his spiel about how he hates people sucking up to him, then made some horrendous dad joke and stared at them until they all laughed. The bloke likes nothing more than having a room full of people kissing his arse.

    "Lord" suger is a complete bellend

    This 1000 times over. The business tsar, king of entrepreneurs or the sir cnut as i prefer to call him. The show obviously has entertainment value, but for me it's just a joke.

    I personally can't stand the business world, but I know some people love it. I think most people take themselves far too seriously, there are a lot of people that have an over inflated opinion of who they are, just because of what job they have. Everyday I hear wanky comments such as

    'he's ex IBM'

    'what are the deliverables'

    'have you broken the offer down into its component parts'

    'have we aligned the brand to our cultural values'

    It's all wank. This programme for me just perpetuates all this. I can't separate the comedy from what I have to hear, see and listen to everyday. Sir Sugar is just at the top of a big pile of shit, and for me the programme now is more comedy than business. (if you can watch it that way then great, just not me)

    Branson was the original choice, ahead of Sugar. But he's hopeless in front of a camera.

    You might want to have a re think about whether that's something you want to publish. Because I think SRB can afford good lawyers!

    You say that. But I bet someone at the LLDC wishes they had said "Have you broken the offer down into its component parts?" before signing all that money away to Wet Spam.

    the show is therapeutic for me as it reminds me there are much bigger bellends out there than me.

    NO SPOILERS PLEASE

    Just for those that are stupid enough to open this thread not expecting spoilers, can someone paste the spoiler code to be used?

    Thanks.

    Apparently when these people that pay £30k to go and pitch him their business idea over in Necker Island, he gets on the drink and can be letchy to the females. This is what some bloke at work told me whose sister in law is based in the Virgin Islands.

    I'm not sure you are getting what is meant in these threads by no spoilers.

    Shows like the apprentice are filmed months in advance. It's not uncommon for people to get wind of who gets voted out, who progresses through to the final, what happens in tasks, who wins etc.

    All no spoilers means Is if you get to hear any of those things (or what happens in shows before they air in the UK), don't spoil it for others. Don't think that is much to ask.

    From your other thread you seem to think you can't discuss a show that's already aired?

    That's what occurred with the GOT thread, I mentioned it all after the UK 9pm air date and got torn into by certain posters as they came to the GOT thread and read it the day after the show was aired!
