I'm going to have an extremely shallow moment but... there are so many injectables and laminated eyebrows amongst the girls, I'm gonna have a hard time not mixing them up.

Omg the fish cakes covered in crumble mix 🤣
It reminds me of when I was at catering college and some of the students got the batter mix mixed up and the were battering the fish in custard 🤣
The tutor chef was so angry he had to leave the kitchen

Brittany is so obsessed with everything being related to the environment… the weird game about saving the polar bear/penguins and then harping on about the bees this time 😆😆

I much preferred in the earlier series where they would just drop them into existing businesses and see which team could adapt and do best (home shopping channels, car showrooms, estate agents, even that Topshop task in series 2).

The “sit them in a room with a graphic designer for 2 hours and then have them pitch a crap drawing to unnamed ‘industry experts’” is boring and repetitive. The motorbikes, lunchbox and kids cartoon tasks in this series have felt almost identical to each other.

I've just about had it with The Apprentice. I haven't watched the latest episode yet but to be honest I haven't watched any of this series live.

The candidates are the worst yet. The tasks are repetitive and I've seen them done way better in previous series. I know the point is that they're supposed to be able to turn their hands to lots of different skills in business but I think when all the candidates are basically the same ie young, no life experience, own their own sweet shop/novelty pyjama business and have never had a proper job or worked in the corporate world, they don't have a good mix of skills to make a success of the task. Half the time, they have never had to lead and manage a team in their normal jobs so is it any wonder they fail so miserably when made profect manager?

We see them fail miserably, time and again, partly due to their own ineptitude but also partly to do with fact that these tasks aren't possible to do successfully in the time frame or with the resources available. The subteam is usually working against the main team, designing something completely at odds with what the main team is trying to market because they can't communicate with each other.

The problem with the show isn't just rubbish candidates, it's the unachievable tasks set by the production team. I'd rather see fewer episodes but longer tasks where they're given a week to properly plan and organise it. A better mix of candidates with a good range of ages and experience. I don't mind that it's for an investment but at the moment I have to suspend disbelief that Lord Sugar actually believes in and wants to invest in these muppets.

I’m disappointed with it being an all female interviews/final. (I’m female myself so plz don’t come for me 🤣). But how hilarious would it have been to see Nick, Akeem & Akshay get ripped apart by Claude.
