Want to watch some good TV? Click back to TVIV and try again. Here because, ehhh, why not? Welcome.   The Apprentice is back! Our hopes of a good tomorrow have vacated our minds once more.  This show is now on a Thursday. Starts 06/10/2016 Important bits first, Apprentice Bingo provided by Nettle Soup is an essential part of each watch. This year I have spent literal minutes studying candidate profiles so you don't have to. Our 18 entertainers this year are: Alana Spencer:  Age: 24 Pros: Already owns a company, a sure-fire Apprentice measure of success She knows multiple cliches Can 'make anyone like her' Cons: I'm suspecting the above comes from her looks and a heap of naivety Doesn't sound welsh at all Will wear your nan's kitchen curtains Aleksandra King:  Age: 38 Pros: Can speak 7 languages I CAN SELL TO ANYONE Cons: Fears ebola Can speak to cats Courtney Wood  Age: 29 Pros: Fun guy .. ? Positive attitude! Cons: His parents hated him at birth and probably aren't wrong Dillon St. Paul  Age: 37 Pros: I don't know, you're asking too much on this one Cons: That's his name, not a place "freelance" "art" "director" Unironic 'girl power' in TYOOL2016 Fashion is nearly beauty Frances Bishop  Age: 25 Pros: Is married to a footballer Describes herself as 'anti WAG' Cons: Lists her achievements as being runner up in some beauty pageants 'I got makeup on my tax receipts tee hee' Not very self aware. Husband plays for Scunthorpe and that's a loving shithole Grainne McCoy  Age: 31 Pros: If you thought you'd avoid contestants from the beauty industry this year, think again! Cons: Self taught blah blah aren't I like you Alan??? JD O'Brien  Age: 37 Pros: He's a good bloke he says He's 'hard as nails' Cons: First to go, probably Jessica Cunningham  Age: 29 Pros: Oh yeah more fashion and beauty Looks good on camera Isn't boring Cons: Tries SUPER HARD not to be boring Karthik Nagesan  Age: 33 Pros:  Cons: You know when someone really leans into something to show just how much it isn't something bad about them and oh god oh god I am in on the joke guys so you can't use it against me look how I do it too 'Demands' to be a leader - first week PM into exit risk Michelle Niziol  Age: 35 Pros: Actual success Cons: I can't remember a thing about her 2 seconds after tabbing to write this Mukai Noiri  Age: 36 OK so you get to your mid 30s and wear a loving dicky-bow and call yourself 'charming', I'm not bothering with sections for you buddy. Natalie Hughes  Age: 30 Pros: Owns 2 businesses! In the beauty industry . . Sounds abrasive = good TV Cons: I've never seen Glaswegian accents/personas work in business Oliver Nohl-Oser  Age: 33 Pros: He works with sausages. So many puns from suralan Excellent use of cliches Cons: Thinks he's 'like James Bond in a suit' Is probably too nice-chap to last 5 minutes Paul Sullivan  Age: 38 Pros: Owns a business or whatever Is just like you sur... Cons: Claims to be like Alan Sugar Claims he's smart, backs this up by referring to an anecdote about GCSEs Rebecca Jeffery  Age: 31 Pros: Eyebrows from The Sims 4 Owns a business Cons Who doesn't this year? Do I own a business? What even counts why are these people here? Samuel Boateng  Age: 27 Pros: Sales experience Looks sharp Cons: Ruins it by speaking Sofiane Khelfa  Age: 32 Pros: Stahted from nothing Cons: I MEAN WHO DOES THAT SOUND LIKE HEH HEH ?? Does that hair-triangle tent thing to hide a balding spot. Trishna Thakrar  Age: 28 Pros: Need to identify a faint smell? Cons: Proudly anti-sugar over football or something? You're Fired! YF goes deeper down the Beeb's talent list this year, and swaps Jack Dee for Rhod Gilbert.

I think one of them on the bbc write up works for a 'high end audio system shop' which probably means Curry's. Eta it is Sofiane quote:Sofiane works in a high-end retail store, negotiating technology sales with high profile clients. Rondette fucked around with this message at 23:16 on Oct 4, 2016 |

Also I stopped watching last season like halfway through and just went to read the thread to see who won in the end. Was Joseph the super misogynistic one (like worse than the others)?

An uninspiring bunch of idiots. Is the prize still investment and dubious advice from Lord Suralun? I feel like this show has never been as good since the job prospects went away. I won't be livewatching this season but will try to catch up semiregularly I guess. Also, as ever, RIP Baggs the brand. Too beautiful for this world.

I don't think I will either while Hunted is on channel 4. That's another programme that I have to wonder how much is done in the editing. And the way the format is now it really needs to be called 'The Investment' coz that's basically what it is now. I keep forgetting Baggs died.

RIP Baggs  Khablam posted:It's still Claude and Karen. I like Claude's brand of abject disappointment more than Nick's disapproval, but without Claude in the interview section it felt really watered down last year.
