I think this might be the best series of The Apprentice ever.

It's getting better. I think the season with Cluff will be tough to topple. Better than last years for sure!

Buying the child-sized Indian dress was great outside of the box thinking.

Sugar seems to change how strict he is on items every season. Sometimes out-the-box thinking gets the candidate a right bollocking. Getting a paper anatomical skeleton springs to mind...

Perhaps, but she hasn't been the root cause of the failures that seem to revolve around her lately. She concocted a snappy jingle on the fly for the crowd fund but it was the PM that duffed it completely with the old man and his DEATH MIME CAR and also leaving her in the lurch with the pricing pitch that was exactly the same.

There's plenty of twats that need a cab ride home before Francis and that's more on them because they are terrible.

I think you've confused the two teams there. Francis was on the choir team, not the mime team. But I agree, she is actually one of the less dumb ones.

I remember the paper skeleton and I thought that was a brilliant dodge since it was still anatomically correct. Unless I forgot a piece of the drama, they actually put the paper skeleton together right? If they just threw down an unassembled bag of paper parts then yeah, but I seem to remember the former and Lrdalun got all pissy about it.

Like the other guy said, in some seasons it would have been hailed as genius thinking. I remember one of the winners from a previous season, Ruth I think her name was, having an interview and complaining that they are actually given a lot of false information in tasks so that cock-ups are inevitable.

Haha yep!! Also '100 chickens for 100 pizzas' and '6 million cat owners in the UK' calendar pitch. Good times.


I still think my most favourite ever Apprentice moment is in series 1- Saira and James losing their poo poo over the hideous wolf fleeces they were going to have to sell on live tv. It's such a genuine, silly and nice moment that doesn't seem to happen on the show any more. Honestly if you don't even have a chuckle at this I don't really know what to say

Yeah the first few seasons were loving awesome. Paul and Tre do stick in the memory.

My personal highlight has to be when Simon Andrews was doing the teleshopping task and screwing on the trampoline handle next to his crotch...

I've not been this upset with a firing since Jason Leech...

Big K didn't have to win the process, but I'd have kept him for entertainment factor up until the Interviews.

Is Francis a brummie?

If so she is the best candidate on the show to come from my backyard.

Sugar seems to have already made his mind up about Dillon tbh...

If his team loses next week I'm certain he will go...

He will be project manager as I think he is the only one who hasn't done it yet?

I must admit, I wasn't expecting Samuel to get fired.

On the one hand Sugar was complaining about Big K upping the price... and then on the other hand he was complaining that Samuel sold it for the retail price... I'm also pretty sure Samuel sold the most from his team. Surely it should have been Courtney or the other one who should have been fired since they were tasked with selling the high ticket items and they spent the first hour or so ignoring the public completely.

Sofian won't make it past the interviews. He's the weakest candidate left.

How convenient that the last guy to be as fiesty to Sugar was also called Paul.

Even if you was genuinely clever, it'd be difficult to prove it in the show's current format as you have to stand out to not be fired. I think I'd find it too hard to be in such a toxic environment.

There are no stand-out candidates in the final five. Whoever wins this I will be disappointed. They are all shocking.

I'm surprised Sugar didn't have more to say about Colony Gin with a picture of Africa. That has absolutely no positive connotations - coupled with the story of pillaging places for their spices to bring back to the Great British Empire. Awful.

They are like polar-opposite. One is like a Cbeebies presenter, the other is a resting bitch face.

well thanks to Brexit you're not allowed, you have to stay here with all of us. Sorry.

Jokes on you; I moved to Vietnam a few weeks after Brexit.

Jokes on me; I need surgery and will return to England next year to sponge the NHS before it dies.

Both businesses were boring. At least Sugar can sweeten up the cake business...
