At the end, they put a call out for competitors for the next series.

Who in their right minds would watch that episode and think that they are going to come out of it anything other than a laughing stock? Are there people that unironically watch it and think 'yes, that would be great for my career'.
I can only think of 3 people that have gone on to do something notable, Sairah (sic??) Kahn, Ruth Badger and Tom Pellereau. There is no glory in the show.

I’d imagine the people who would apply after watching that farce would be perfect candidates for the show.

Does Lord Sugar actually invest his own money in the businesses or is it setup so that the fee paid to him by the BBC includes the $250k that he invests? I assume he's not dumb enough to actually do the former.
