@@ssm1559 there’s the sister show the apprentice you’re fired in bbc 2. When Rhod Gilbert hosted (and potentially Dara O’Briain) they did it every week
Lmao this season is such a mess, In the first one akeem should have gone, in the second aaron should have gone, and in the third Sophie should have gone.
Sophie sounded like a reverse mysoginist she said Akshay and Navid didn't contribute but then said one wouldn't have got sales without the other which contradicted her main point of bringing them back??? Terrible PM and Lord sugar should've fired her and make Navid PM in the next task.
This show used to be seriously hardcore business sharks, now it’s full of tv personalities. Also, the tasks used to be streamlined better to the end game. Back in the old days, the winner would get a job working for Lord Sugar, ( or Sir Alan back then), rather than start a tiny business that usually ends within a year. [EDIT] WOW, I just came back after a while and seen my comment has 2k likes hahaha thanks guys
I'm waiting for the year where we reach the final episode and Sugar doesn't hire anyone. Instead he goes to Vegas and blows his £250k at various casinos and on questionable companions.
Anyone else saddened by the relative lack of 'simple' tasks in the new seasons? The show is at its most interesting when they get given a pathetic budget and told to go make money with it by selling shitty food or upselling something, meanwhile they opened this season with a fucking cruise line that of course they don't even have anything to show for because it's as fake as the show can possibly get.
I was thinking this, all three of the first tasks are branding/concept creation. I wonder if Covid made them rethink the nature of some of the tasks. though possibly the creators are jusr running out of idea. which is silly because they've been going on for so long and they had a break between seasons that they could easily just have repeated some classic tasks
@@tomsweeney7922 I do think the producers were forced to rethink their ideas for covid yeah. Eg the cruise line one was probably due to cruise line companies struggling and starting to reopen after covid, and in the most recent one where they had to design a video game, Lord Sugar mentioned how the gaming industry skyrocketed during the pandemic
The biggest issue with this year's series is that the tasks have been rubbish. What happened to the simple, yet classic business style tasks like being given a list of items to research and buy, or a loaf of stuff to sell for the best prices. Now it's all been based around fishing, cooking, giving tours and presenting TV shopping channels.
@palehorse that guy who was on about the sample size (ep2), might have been the worse contestant on the show. By far the most embarrassing thing I’ve witnessed.
I was actually really sad when Shama had to withdraw because she seemed like the only one with actual potential and wasn't painfully delusional like the others (i.e. she was the only normal human being there), but of course she had to prioritise her health I don't blame her for that.
I thought exactly the same. The way she looked at them all when they were saying stupid things and acting like clowns was priceless. It was the look of someone who actually runs a business and knows what they are talking about. I have to think she just went "F this, i'm out" lol.
Definitely a bunch of ditzy contestants. Maybe not the worst bunch but so entertaining to watch. Francesca sounded so different on the actual show compared to the ‘you’ve been fired’ show. I thought this time around some of them were actors 😂
Not too fond of Sophie… she proved to be a terrible PM, was annoying, and just went off what other people said to make her final decision. I hope she leaves in ep4 (still haven’t watched it)
As if Alan and his advisors haven't already gone through their business plans thoroughly weeks in advance. He knows exactly who he wants at the end. The 15 weeks is just scripted reality.
I don’t think they’re any worse than they use to be. I feel like as it’s getting old and stale they are just editing it to make each season the ‘dumbest yet’ to keep some interest in it. Editing could make anyone look either completely stupid or a genius.
It's actually a joke. The candidates this year, while some of them are good businesspeople and have the potential to succeed, which I think most of them do, it's the silly mistakes that overshadow them. I mean, how on earth do you forget to put your brand name on the logo, and can't even spell Arctic properly
Cannot stand Francesca! She's such a boastful control freak. Nick needs to fix his hair. Akshay is still in the process by luck (always sating how bad something is after the fact). Whenever I see Aaron I think John Barnes...
it's not really a shambles when it's by design - they know they need these types to trend on twitter and to compete with all the other reality tv shows
Series after series we see the same useless candidates. Seriously, if these people are the supposed creme de la creme of our future business leaders then God help us. They are given simple tasks with every possible thing laid on for them, but their failure is monumental on each occasion. I would neither employ nor go into partnership with any one of them. £250,000? I wouldn't invest £2.50 with them. It is obvious that the Apprentice has become a "reality" tv show and not a serious attempt to find a plausible business partner. Further highlighted by Sugar's firing of incorrect individuals as they do not make great tv, thereby viewing figures. The Apprentice's only attraction is that it has become a goodish sitcom.
Anyone been to Sophie's bar in Cheltenham? It's an absolutely bizarre place down some shady side street. £18 for an old fashioned as well is a piss take.
A sign of the times that to keep this show fresh and interesting to modern audiences they need to cast a bunch of incompetent, wannabe celebs. Say what you like but the fact it’s still insanely popular despite its candidates says more about its audience than it’s cast.
Lets uhhh not focus on the sample size... I mean it was just me and I said I liked it but that is 100% of the sample group and that's the number we should be looking at "100%", how good would that look on the packaging? Everyone would buy it!
I'm just so disappointed in Aaron in that one episode focusing on baby food. he's had children before, had to simply just use a selection of veggies already available and prepared in front of him, has enough experience to know what children should be eating (vegetables) and what nutrients they need yet gave such a poor quality product at the end. Even though he's clumsy he's still a favourite candidate on my list. Also I was really upset that shama left, I really liked her. I also noticed how a lot of times the other candidates didn't really like Harry it's kinda sad lol 😂 I remember the final episode where he was the last candidate to go into one of the two teams
During Tim Campbell's era on the 1st Apprentice, it was a Business show. Since the 4th show with Lee Mcqueen lying about his CV, it's become a comedy show every year, but non-common sense from "graduates and business people who think they have the business gene"....not all, but some.
2023 was a bigger shambles. Sacking Simba and keeping Dani just because he chose not to be a mouthy cow. Dani was clearly out of her depth in the following task and fired
Don't understand the winner stabbed her sister in the back, nothing about where the products come from what she uses in them, It's let's jump on the flavour (deserts, rawr cookie dough) and see what happens. Look at the other dereset place in whiterose vs hers lel
Its really complete joke this year in comparison to 2019 the recent one how can PM forget to mention the catch of the day its full of idiots disappointed since we finally got apprentice back and it sucks
they are like so immature people. Just because they have money doesn't mean they are mature. I am so surprised with their project's. They are so bad, its like someone from secondary school. They not professional. I mean what on earth is bouji.
Lord Sugar does not employ the winner any more. They just get a cash prize, this was due to winners getting pregnant, stealing ideas or simply trying to sue Lord Sugar for being their boss.
@@minhajnizam5090 I agree, I had to laugh when those guys were calling her a north korean dictator for telling them what to do when they definitely would have messed up without her.
The 2022 series was the weakest ever. Best thing was Lord Sugar's emergence as a comedian. He used to be a grumpy old git but this time his one liners were priceless!
I stopped watching in 2019 I think. The apprentice is not the same anymore and I echo others in comments who think the candidates became too “reality tv” characters rather than actual bias ends candidates and also Alan sugar is problematic asf now.
The worse apprentice candidates ever recruited. None have a clue about how to run a business, if all youngsters are like this i thank god for that that i am quite safe from inept competitors for another 20 or 30 years. 😂😂
