Rothna's business plan was definitely a surprise, & not a good one! She really was unlikely to progress further based on that unfortunately.

I was even a tiny bit sad to see Kieran go, his interviews would have been a treat! 🫣
Yes, I would have loved to see him bull his way through the interviews. 🤣

When those buyers were saying the tree was too big, I really wanted Rothna to say they'd make a smaller version for them if they placed substantial order:/

Yeah I was surprised they didn’t say having tested it out they realised the proportions were a bit out for the shelves/opening of the dome for cats to actually get about and that could be adjusted going forward. They used to say that quite regularly but on this series they’ve not said once they can make amends following feedback

The "well how will customers get it home" people kept saying was annoying me, like say "it'll be flat pack" or "we'll deliver" or anything, it's not like you walk out of DFS with a sofa under your arm is it

Yeah but to be fair, I don’t think you expect to hire a van for a cat toy!

You don't hire a van, you order it online and its delivered to you. The one we got for our cat is 150cm high and we got it online with free delivery.

I preferred the cat product, it needed some work done to make it better but when ive bought stuff for my cat its arrived flatpacked and ive had to build it. It took me a long time but I got there 🤣

The voice dog bed i am sure I've seen devices or cameras where if you're away from your pet you can talk to them in live time.

It seems a bit pointless to do the market research and get feedback when they then can't act on it before the pitch.
I also don't understand why they don't make more promises to convince the buyers- they aren't placing real orders are they? These products don't actually exist?

yeah you can already do it with two way cameras.

kind of gutted we won’t see Kieran in the interviews, I didn’t want him to win but I sort of enjoyed watching him 😂 cannot believe Pasha and Priyesh are in the final five, they’ve done the sum total of duck all all series. Lawrence, Dan and Karishma I’m OK with, but would have preferred Rothna to Lawrence.

Yeah, I've also seen a thing you can get where you can see your pet and talk to them and it could also come as a treat dispenser so you can 'give' the pet a treat while you were out.

I can’t stand snivelling Lawrence the backstabber.
What a poor set of finalists this year.

Yeah, the Furbo. Treat dispenser, camera and you can talk to them through it. The cat one comes with a toy attached.

I only started watching the apprentice around 2018 and recently have started watching it from the start and WOW I cant believe how much it has gone down hill it's actually very sad!

One thing I also notice is how the girls used to actually dress in office appropriate outfits (the gents have started to wear more unusual colours etc but still suits) like I love Karishma but she doesnt dress in business attire like ever , same with Pascha!

The tasks also used to be more varied, the last few years it's always the shopping task, the telly sales task, and then about 10 of the same "make X product, make an app or AD to go with it , and pitch it "

Such a shame !
