The Apprentice #5

[Redline]

Every year I say it - "these are the shittest contestants ever"

And every year I end up still watching the bloody thing

 

[Crumpet41]

I am of the opinion that Karishma will win this series. I think of all the candidates she has shown the most promise - she is very capable. Asking if the bakery manager if they were a chain and could pick up the doughnuts elsewhere was a really good idea.

 

[GoSlap]

Am I on a different planet? I thought Jordan was a useless candidate the entire time. I'm honestly baffled by all the praise.

 

[forgotmyacc]

I was so happy when Karen bigged in Karishma in the board room.

So short sighted of the boys to dismiss her from the pitch. She made the game !! They just wanted all the credit.
She is really growing on me and I would love to see her in the final

 

[Boomwhatwasthis]

Did anyone else find Amber Rose irrationally irritating?

 

[Mark81]

I think in the original apprentice Jordan could have been a likely winner

 

[Sibz]

Kieran was far worse than Levi

I'm kinda confused why Levi was fired like that, obviously he was terrible, but they all were, they've never sold on live tv before. He didn't seem drastically worse than anyone else, it felt unnecessarily humiliating for him

 

[50sGirl]

I thought it was bizarre that one of the female interviewers (not Linda) was so impressed that Dean was doing it for his family.
Surely most people who are married and have children want to be successful for their family?

 

[50sGirl]

Is it just me that hated the term “dark kitchen”?
It just makes me think of the dark web. It sounds so negative.

 

[MoodyBlue]

I have to laugh at Karen's instagram pictures. They are SO filtered. She knows we can see her on tv right ?

Excuse me....it's Baroness Brady to you.

£200 to buy stuff to sell at a car boot.

Not that this will ever happen but I’d love it for LS / Karen / Tim to not know which business plan belonged to which contestant until the final 2. Obvs use it for the application process but have it anonymised and then contestants can move through the process based on them and not their businesses!

 

[lilykestrel]

It's a particular ick of mine whenever Big Al does one of his jokes it always seems to cut to Tim doing a "hohohoho" face and laugh and "oh Sir Alan you are the living end" shake of the head

 

[TravellingPants]

I’n glad Tim called out the group who refused to use any of their own common sense or initiative with the hope of pinning decisions on Dan. I lead a team; if I had to sign off on every single small decision they have to make in the course of their day, I would soon be rendered clinically insane.

 

[EllaBella10]

I really think they should go back to the winner being an actual apprentice rather than getting investment.

 

[Iamthebosun]

Alan should've fired the guy at the end who was air punching and was like YES! When Tim gave the girls total. Like, you didn't win, you just lost slightly less, don't celebrate that.

 

[kev1974]

I didn't understand Jordan's "business" at all, he's basically a freelance artist / graphic designer like countless other freelance artists / graphic designers. Although in his case trying to pass off his work as actual commissions from big brands who he hasn't actually been anywhere near.

If he thinks he is worth so much per day why doesn't he just knuckle down and go get himself that sort of work and get it all done.

 

[Mark81]

Jordan did him a massive favour with that virtual showroom

The sections with her on were so contrite, she’d obviously been told to try and get them to cry.
