The Apprentice Thursday 17/11/16 at 9.00 pm.Give it a look they will be at the Poole boat show.Will be interesting to see what mistakes they make,lots I would  guess.

Some years ago there task was one team to make and sale 300 portions of pasta.The other  300 pizza's. They were using my old kitchen. Luckily  I had left by the time they were making pizza. The very clever (donuts).Worked out they would  need 300 pound (in weight).The chef pointing out that was one pound  per pizza perhaps to much.When they went to the board room Sugar  ripped them to bits

The working thing is they could be in charge of a business. God help us.

[Chelsea14Ian]

Should be worrying silly phone 

[SteveO]

The really worrying thing is that these plonkers will be paying our pensions.

Cheers

Steve

[TheQ]

Or the way things are going  Not paying our pensions....

[Chelsea14Ian]

One set of your yoyos only managed  to sell £188 Sugar got rid of two.

[VetChugger]

Pity he didn't go with them!

[Chelsea14Ian]

The decider  tonight when sugar picks the tea or coffee lady (there is one bloke)but it won't be him.

[Polly]

They are not the most inspiring cohort are they?

[johnb]

What amazes me is every year the candidates falsify/exaggerate their CV 's. They know that they are going to be scrutinised and they will be found out, but every year...I wonder if this year will be the exception?

 

[Chelsea14Ian]

The winner will be picked next week.

[Chelsea14Ian]

I can't believe  he's picked the bloke for the final 

[SwanR]

Don't forget that the final is Sunday night - it does slightly irritate me that the whole series runs on one day and time and then the final is completely different!

[SteveO]

He could save himself a lot of time and cash by doing the interrogation round first. It wouldn't make a good TV series though. This lot were the worst ever. No doubt selected by the production company on the basis that these idiots blundering around would make good watching.

[SwanR]

I agree with you on that Steve. If once they got to the final five there were people who lost out because Lord Sugar didn't think that he would want to invest in their particular business plans, then really it had all been a complete waste of their time. 

I think that they need a new sponsor or boss or whatever name you want to give to Alan Sugar's role. Then they might come up with some different tasks and liven the format up a bit. However that's not likely to happen and I'm not sure that I will watch it next year.

[Chelsea14Ian]

All in all I think most of them are clueless but the idea she has is a good one.As someone in catering  I think it will work.She needs to get into the coffee shop market.This is very big at present and up market shops and cafes.Lets see what happens 

[SteveO]

Not sure that I would want Sugar as a mentor, but his £250K would certainly help someone scaling up a business. The  show does make for compelling viewing, if only for the awfulness of some of the candidates, and we will, no doubt, watch it next year.

[Poppy]

Two words why it's the worst thing there has EVER been on TV......  Katie.  Hopkins .

[JennyMorgan]

Personally I don't watch it, I can not abide that Sugar man, in my opinion he's not a very nice individual.

 that Sugar man

Show some respect man!!!  Surely you mean "LORD that Sugar man"?

[JennyMorgan]

Or even 'Good Lord, that Sugar man'!

[HemsbyPie]

As a project manager within manufacturing I found myself shouting at the TV on numerous occasions. They should use at least some people with real life experience...

[grendel]

why? are they not looking for top management potential? surely that precludes knowing anything useful?
