£1.87? That's more than I'd pay Jack Dee for this performance
just watching it on iplayer now.
by the opening credits, i've come to the conclusion that it's jumped the shark.
they don't believe the nonsense soundbites someone else has written for them, they're just saying them like a dancing monkey.

this guy fired seems a top bloke, he more than held his own on the youre fired program,
indeed he made the show as the guests were struggling
a plant perhaps, i cant believe he couldnt sell a single item, even when reduced ?

I think we've seen this scenario before, where someone running an online business can't sell face-to-face.
The tourist board will have been pleased by the London porn in the opening sequence but it did go on a bit too long; the extracts from future tasks contained spoilers, since any candidates seen are obviously safe from firing this week.
It was ironic that Versatile went from terror at the prospect of being PM to then ignoring the actual PM and all trying to run the task themselves: power without responsibility. For the other lot, April imposed her own choices but ignored the suggestion from her teammate that they cost the dishes. She did the same at the market where she bought from the first stall she saw.

The winning team made about £200 which is about £20 per person per 15-hour day, which is hardly a viable business, though I guess it beats £1.87 for the other lot.
The bit I did not understand was Brett's insistence that the oversized fish cakes met the specification, but it was never explained where the spec came from.

Someone should've told Brett that they were fishcakes, not aircraft components
Power-dressed 'wannabee-alphas' whose self-belief is inversely proportional to their ability to actually deliver.
Will play along with the whole, pathetic, 'mug it up for the cameras' charade whilst the more clued up viewer will understand that if they are as half as good and clever as they think they are, they would have approached and been taken on by a venture capitalist and be actually doing their p1ssant 'what the world is waiting for' load of old toot already.

I have real life experience of this phenomenon
I used to work with Sarah Dales, the woman who tried to sell a mop and bucket to London Zoo for £250, amongst other crimes

Three quarters are there because they want a career on telly like Saira Khan, Kate Walsh etc (and a previous year's failure has just won CBB).

i see the fired person is an oxford graduate and labour party activist
nearly bankrupted mam and dad with a 50k loss last year setting up business,
yet mam and dad hold directorships all over the place
i still reckon any mug could sell a salad for a quid at close of play when
stock is being liquidated, although flogging it for 9 quid was a task worthy
of a top salesperson
his interview after did suggest a career in media awaits, imo

I've been banging on about this for years. Also, in the real world they would have had to pay for use of the kitchen, hire of the van they were selling from and the pitches they were selling from.

Something else that I've ranted about before. These clips are shown at the beginning of each episode. Would have thought they'd just show extracts from the forthcoming task.

The guy who was fired seemed to be the only likeable one among the whole 18.
Like many reality TV shows, this one has become a caricature (or a parody) of itself. It started out as an interesting experiment to find a dynamic young business professional (even Big Brother started as an interesting social experiment on human behaviour), but has allowed itself to morph into a pre-scripted "entertainment" show, where the most extroverted egotistical loudmouth wins regardless of talent or potential.
And just as with the instant (and short-lived) fame accorded to winners of X-Factor and the like, it gives youngsters the false impression that you can set up and run a business in the space of 24 hours. Anyone with even the most fleeting knowledge of business knows that it takes months of planning, research, development and investment to even get a minimum viable product off the ground, and it can take months, if not years, to start yielding a profit. Yet we're expected to believe that 24 people living in the same house, can be awoken at 2am, sent to a fish market, then be out selling a finished product inside the space of a morning. Of course, someone else would have had to organise the transport, equipment, kitchens, van hire, signage, licence to trade, facility to take cash & card payment, waste management, uniforms etc etc.
Competent people might be able to turn round that sort of small operation inside a week or two, but inside of a few hours? What a load of horsesh!t.
Well past it's sell by date - and I don't just mean the fish.

you're doing the program an injustice; one found out last night what an onion was, without the show he'd have gone through life never knowing ....
It's not meant to be a serious business programme.It's an entertainment show,and as such it succeeds.It's definitely entertaining.
name your winner, at this stage.
Jenny or Scott for me.
Can't believe the plumber is 8/13 fav on here

I enjoy the disparity between the rhetoric and reality which is thrown up every season. It's like some bellend rants on about Casanova being second rate compared to them and how they are the mag daddy of love with none of that 15 minutes shiit because they can rattle all night taking chicks to heaven and back. Then the camera pans down to see a great big wet **** stain on their pants because they've caught a glimpse of a girl bending over.
Aisha getting fired was the correct decision. Ghastly woman. Bit disappointed so far with Claude Littner, who seems rather restrained considering he's been given enough material to lay into a few of them.
As a stand alone episode last nights was one of the worst I have ever seen imo.
Aisha certainly one of the worst PMs I've ever seen. Seemed to have been born without ears.
until you have a sense for the business plan the majority of these shows are just fck ups for entertainment, jenny is clearly intelligent and probably a finalist, looking at their backgrounds vana might be the dark horse
Saw last nights show. From what I remember the last series had a different actor playing Lord Sugars characters sidekick. Dont think this new guy is so good but the show overall was as funny as ever.
"....had a different actor playing Lord Sugars characters sidekick." ???
From what we've seen so far,I think the older woman with the long blonde hair looks the most likely winner.
Its been apparent for a number of years now that every season around a dozen are there purely for entertainment value, the only ones that cannot see it are the contestants themselves
".....the only ones that cannot see it are the contestants themselves." Maybe they can see it, but are happy to spend a few weeks living in a luxurious house in London,enjoying the "treats",and appearing on TV etc.
The show now is just Big Brother with tasks done outside the house.
shame Aisha didn't have the personality to match the looks (amazing how often you get that with women, isn't it?)
The men's shampoo adverts gave the impression that unlike every other team in Apprentice history, they'd actually seen commercials before so knew how they were supposed to look. Normally teams shoot themselves in the foot by trying to write a comedy sketch or short play, as the women did here ("thanks for the massage, mum").
I wouldn't underestimate the effect of editing on our perception of events.
The show must be unique in that it is a competition apparently requiring a certain set of attributes, yet the winner is determined by a person who has a completely different agenda based on his vested interest.

@Jack Hacksaw -- I wouldn't underestimate the effect of editing on our perception of events.
Editing -- yes. First the edit needs to show viewers how the task was won and lost, and why the person who got fired deserved to be fired. Especially this early where there are too many candidates, any number of positive contributions may be left on the cutting room floor. If a task takes, say, 20 hours, then 2 teams each having 2 camera crews means 80 hours of footage to be edited down to 20 or 30 minutes of task per episode, and apparently even the final boardroom can take all day, where we get to see 10 minutes or so.
Second, the edit does not need to, but probably will, try to shape our perceptions of the candidates into reality show stereotypes.

I'm not sure that's really true any more. When the prize was a job, Lord Sugar would spend 6 to 8 weeks looking for a brash sales droid, then right at the last minute remember he built his companies by employing people like Nick and Margaret.
But for the investment, I assume all the business plans have some merit and it is about seeing if the people are up to carrying them out -- can they sell, advertise, negotiate and so on? So the tasks are more relevant than they used to be.

Team leader makes a complete and utter horlicks of it from start to finish. Presumably her business plan is good.
In previous years, teams have been criticised on this task for spending too much time planning. This showed what a complete shambles comes from both teams trying to wing it.
Except normally planning time eats into buying time. This year, planning time was overnight in the hotel when you couldn't buy anything - unless a champagne flute seller was sitting at the next table.

Not watched it for years. As others have said, it's no different to Big Brother, though not quite so vile.

The best thing about this years show so far is the seemingly genuine enmity between a few of the women.
That Selina is a sly, passive aggressive biatch who is absolutely brilliant at getting the others backs up - I love her little supercilious smile when she thinks she has scored a point - the Joan Allen look-a-like is on the verge of meltdown every time she pipes up.
Worryingly for the end game, I haven't a clue who the 'good ones' might be yet, usually it's fairly obvious even this early. A poor bunch.

^ Selina has a lucrative sideline - hiring out a miniature dwarf woman dressed as Lady GaGa, She has a Dubai based events agency Dark Horse. On her Facebook site - suddenly deleted when she was on The Apprentice - she advertises a "little person" who wears fancy dress for clients' amusement. Apparently dwarfs and other small entertainers have become increasingly popular at stag and hen parties.
Dark Horse describes itself as a 'creative production house' and 'Let us know how we can make your event outrageous instead of ordinary'
Sounds like a little more than your average events company.
Go to Google images and tap in Selina Waterman-Smith.
She was a former pupil at Wellington School in Somerset, moved to Egypt in 2008 before going to Dubai where she has been ever since.

Took your advice HD and can confirm that eye wood.
I knew there was something about that little minx, she obviously enjoys upsetting people.......
Trying to decide whether I should waste an hour googling the rest of them now, or have you already done that and can confirm no further items of interest?

Was it last year when teams were asked to buy a skeleton? One of the teams bought a paper one and Sugar said it wasn't acceptable. Should have been the same with the boat this year.
Price range for dinghies on google shopping varies from £25 to £350, not including toys.
That is an enormous price range so maybe it depends on the spec the teams were given -- was it supposed to be sea-going?

No, don't bother, no further interest, recent ones near the top. In her first wk on The Apprentice there was a bit of a backlash on social media when she said she had been a dancer, "You mean stripper / lap dancer".
When she entered the show she said she hopes viewers will see her as being serious and passionate. After looking at those pics I'm sure they will love !

Selina. She is a sexy little minx. In the words of Partridge: "I'd like to have it off with her".
Love that naughty little smile that she can't hide when she's said something really catty really calmly which winds the others up. Meow.

would you, would you really give any of them £250,000 of your money to partner with them on a business venture?
I presume Sugar's fee is more than £250k and of course he gets lots of free BBC air time and boosts his ego.
They said he's worth £1 billion ... that's a lot of Amstrads or whatever he does these days.
And why is it still called the Apprentice?
Should really be called the Sugar Puff Show.

Yes she bigged herself up as a presenter and did the pitch on the shampoo task - but ballsed it up.
Yes she bigged herself up as a presenter and did the pitch on the shampoo task - but ballsed it up. Also been fairly gobby in the boardroom.
Well that was hardly a surprise she went.
Utterly hopeless.
I was right with my conclusion last week.

She deserved it. Bottled the pitch with her fake cough as she didn't want to get exposed again like she did when ballsing up her pitch a couple of weeks back.
Team leader should not have taken Brett in - he did nothing wrong this week. The fittie should have been in - did a deal for 50 books immediately when they discarded 150 (what's wrong with trying for 125 or 100?) and then sold lots of books at the end for £1.90 or so.
I'm sure where she did the deal for 50 she also said they could have 150 at £4-odd a unit or 50 for £3-odd a unit - this was never picked up in the boardroom so wondering if I imagined it but other half thought she heard the same - if so that is an utter shocker. You can have a preferential rate if you buy less from us.

You didn't mishear it. I'm not sure Sam was able to make a decision though when it was obvious to take in Selina. Though at least he had some logic in taking Brett in, it just wasn't the right logic.

Well done. In the day I'm a hard working business women who says vacuous things.
At night I am a business women who gets paid by the BBC to say vacuous things.
Last night I outed Nicola? (the blonde woman) and told Lord Sugar that she was truly dreadful with her pitch to the book shop people.
WTF ...we all saw that and presumably Sugar saw it.
Is he ******** her, or is she Jewish like his other sidekick - who's also useless?

It's averse and no I'm not particularly.
What I'm averse to is untalented people who are paid by my licence fee.
And my question re Jewishness was prompted by the big puff being given when Claude Littner (?) joined and his and Alan Sugar's Jewish faith were bigged up. Look it up.
That's all.

Karren Brady's not Jewish.
You should have a word with Alan Sugar on Twitter but he doesn't take too kindly to having his spelling mistakes pointed out.

It's a comedy show and has its moments.
Yer man Richard?, the guy with the beard, is cast in the David Brent role and is the star of the show. Once I saw his team had won and he would no longer be on screen, I switched over.

Sorry to hear that people of a particular religion has even if its only slightly, a negative impact on your TV viewing.

I think or Richard as last year's version of Daniel.
Pumphol,
it's the fact that Alan Sugar's an obvious egotist - and the BBC promotes him
that Karren Brady (and that Claude guy) are useless and vacuous - masters in stating the art of the bleedin obvious
The Jewish bit is because of the big puff Claude and Sugar were given and their Jewishness was prominent in that.
I would feel exactly the same if, say, the McCanns came out and visited the Pope to assuage their guilt and told everybody (I presume that they're catholics but I don't know).
Religion & superstitious beliefs should be kept private IMO.
That's all - nothing racist

mememe - ok, you've got a bee in your bonnet about how your licence fee gets spent but Alan Sugar donates his fee from the BBC to Great Ormond Street Children's Hospital. No idea how much this amounts to but surely £200 - £400k?
Some consolation there, surely?
