Watching all the videos on the website now

Bianca - Awful, boring.
Chiles - Possible Winner. Seems confident and sensible.
Daniel - "I will outsell them, I will outclass them, and I will beat them by being me" - this guys video is by far the best. 100% he will use the "Im like you Sir Alun" line
Ella - "I dont need a sentance, Im Me, and thats who I am". Rubbish
Felipe - Talks about himself in 3rd person at the start. Brilliant. "I was voted in the top 100 Columbians in 2012, which was good because I was among people like Shakira"
Jimmy Hill - "I AM HIM WHEN HE WAS MY AGE". Nickname is Del Boy. Lol I hate this guy. Hes definately using the I'm like you line.
Jemma - looks much better in video than her pic. I really like her but shes a dumb blonde.
Katie - Reminds me of Charlotte from Geordie Shore.
Lauren - Unattractive and I hate her voice. Why the gently caress does Rarity think shes totty? Seems a right cow. Hope she fucks off early
Lindsay - Her make up is weird in her video. Compares herself to Shugs. Says shes hates chauvenistic men. My 2nd most hated after Lauren right now. Also theres spelling mistakes in her Bio and they spell her name two different ways and its annoyed me

Will watch the rest in a bit

Mark Wright - A bigger wanker than the real Mark Wright. I hate this guy.
Nurun - Awful. She'll get overrun by the dominant women.
Pamela - Shes my favourite of the women so far. But describing herself as bubbly annoyed me
Robert - What a posh oval office. If you dont hate him within 15 seconds of his video starting then youre a better man than me. Wanted to stab myself in the eyes watching this one. It gets worse as it goes on
Roisin - Nicks going to love her. I think I do too. My new favourite woman.
Sanjay - loving HELL HES MORE HATEABLE THAN ROBERT
Sarah - She could sell ice to Eskimos. I hate her. loving hell why are there so many hateable contestants
Scott - My girlfriend was sat behind me while I was watching these and when Scotts video started "A funny thing about me is I was the only boy in my primary school to volunteer for the talent show, and I sang Wet Wet Wet" and she said "you love him already dont you" AND YES I DO
Solomon - Will get overrun by the men. Hes a candidate for week 1 elimination. Really annoying because he talks with his hands.
Steven - "I was the only social worker in the arctic" - I have no clue what to make of this guy. I think I hate him. Actually the last 15 seconds hes so unbelievably camp that yes, I hate him

My favourites from the video - Pamela, Roisin, Daniel, Scott.

BUT I'm picking Chiles as my winner.

Tim Stillwell was the same last year and he went out week 2. He was also kind of adorable so I don't hold out much hope for Solomon.

The kid's either the next Tim or the next Tom. If he's as nice as he seems in his interview he'll be eaten alive. But gosh.

There is notably no Jason this year, but I think Jason was generally a brilliant one-off. The eyebrows are disappointingly boring in this lot.

The Apprentice. Finally. I've been waiting for this for what feels like almost a year.

I just watched the candidate interviews. And I have to say it's gotta be Steven for me. He's the best. The best. The best. There's nobody better than him. Nobody, nobody. Nobody. He's the best at what he does. People talk these bits and bobs, but he delivers. In minus 50, AND plus 10. He's gonna win, we all know. Lord Sugar's gonna love him. What's there not to love?

Were I the BBC, I would be advertising this series with a tasteful teaser poster of a tiny Emirati flag draped over a box on wheels against a black background.

That's just me though. And I'm pessimistic that this series will hit the absurd highs of the last one.

Ask and ye shall receive! Didn't somebody make one that auto-generated?? This is the only one I have.

I am at Drawing Club tonight till 9 so will probably catch the last half hour or so, but won't be live-posting I don't think. Leaving early to 'Watch the Apprentice' might not go down too well! :/

Looks like only 4 posters had the sheer balls to put their reputations on the line and pick their winners pre episode 1


eating only apples - Solomon
The Big Taff Man - Chiles
Hijo Del Helmsley - Chiles
Wingon - Steven

No one picks a woman to win, which is interesting because stats say a woman will win this season.
