[Closed] Return of the Apprentice

Stupid programme where an arrogant tosser encourages other idiots to be as awful as he is

I suffered the misfortune of viewing the first 30 mins whilst round at my neighbours, bunch of self aggrandising **** who deserve to be put to real/actual work, preferebly something manual and actually worthwhile such as a builders labourer or a gopher for a machine/engineering shop. I'd estimate they'd last a couple of hours at most before they'd get a well deserved hiding.

And yet you're still happy to pop round their house and watch their telly! 😉

Nope, sorry 😀 I popped round their house on my way home from work as pete txted me earlier to ask if i would drop off a packet of skins and whilst i was there i had a cup o' tea and a natter.

Whooooosssshhhhhh....

Great programe,love the hissy fits, toys out of prams moments and the put downs.

These two statements often go hand in hand...

Maybe but when people say "they wouldn't last 5 mins in the real world" they seem to forget that they already are. There's a mix of people on there that's for the entertainment factor and those that genuinely want a £250k backing. I also can't help but think those that come out with that line work in the post room.

Watched it, but can't say I enjoyed it. Its not even £250k anymore, its £250k with Lord Smuger having a 50% stake, plus the dismal situation of having the grumpy old git as a mentor!

Also what about that bird with the stuck up nose, didn't she look like the Grinch?

This is the only reason that I'd watch the Apprentice.

She blows my head gasket and top end.

Loved the bit where the guys were running to the printers then realised they'd forgotten the T-Shirts! Then they all ran back to get them - just send one of you!

I know it's edited well but it's still funny.

And what happened to the last winner - is she still in business?

And so the process begins of sacking anyone with any remotely human qualities.

I'm not a violent person but.... every time I heard her voice I felt compelled to beat her to death with a lump hammer.

And so the process begins of sacking anyone with any remotely human qualities.

The one sacked last night possessed the great human quality of blaming everyone but himself.

In the real world, whenever I've f***ed up I've always found that the best thing to do is apologise, minimise the damage, and ensure that you learn from it and don't make the same F'up again.

I just wonder what the result would be if one of them adopted this policy in the 'board' room. I suspect everyone else would lose the power of speech and Sralan would implode at the lack of anything to get really angry about.

I'd also like someone to have a go at Nick about his crap jokes on countround.

Had to leave the room twice whilst that was on. Hideous. Are they forced t stick together in the two groups cos surely you'd just split the task in to pairs. Like why were five of the plonkers buing cheese slices? And what did the male team even do with the coffee? And how is selling more coffee than your team can make 'project managing the entire task?'. And why did they count sales and not profit?

O/T Every year, why do the inmates (especially the female ones) sound as though they're referring to our hero, the grumpy-bollock-in-a-suit as "Sarah Alan"?

USed to like it but I must admit the last few series have been routine, all the contestants are stereotypes.

Often feel like saying 'In your opinion' after one of Sugar/Brady/Hewer's comments

Stephen looks like he might be good value. Every year I do marvel at how stupid some of the candidates are, but it seems we have a bumper crop this year. Still, it gives Dara plenty of ammo.

I also can't help but think those that come out with that line work in the post room.

Oh, quite wrong actually, did you actually watch it ?

A task that involves going to buy something and they do the following happens

A. The PM doesn't give them any money
B. The team set off without any money

And you are telling me these people have a job that involves making decisions and thinking, I doubt it

the blond man/woman that was the PM of the girls team has to be a ringer....no way someone is like that in real life!!!

Exactly MrChrispy some are chosen for the entertainment factor, seems this is beyond some people's thoughts.

The best bit is the one who went with no money is an accountant. You couldn't write a sitcom this unbelievable and get it aired, but get the egotistical public and it's comedy genius.

Why did they not just get the #London t-shirts straight down to the embankment and make a killing amongst the tourists.

Ready for more piss takingly bad nut jobs?

part 2 starting now, BBC1.

I have to admit to looking forward to seeing this when I get home. View it as nothing more than light entertainment and its fine!

If you've never seen this (and you have seen the Apprentice!) you should - never fails to make me smile. YMMV depending how grumpy you are!

Shame it appears there is no lovely lass this to visually ease the bellendery from what the STW collective are saying. Yay or nay?

Agree, lack of [s]filth[/s] erm... filth this series

Oh my days...

"Can you rotate it?"

/turns laptop 90 degrees.

Class!

Well that's the lanky strip of pretentious piss gone.

Could be the selling machine that slated his own product.

Is it possible to watch without swearing?

Just be glad they didn't get the numpty to lie on his side instead

The Scottish geezer's going to deck someone 🙂

And that jumper is shocking. I recon my daughter could come up with something better than that.

**** me that Scott is a horrible person.

Not anymore.

The Scot Scott us going to knife someone

See the fella that agreed with the buyers that it was shite. He was right, so I don't see why he's getting belters for it.

Crazy-legs is right on Robert, check out BBC 2.

Yeah I'm not sure you understand what they were meant to do.

Does anyone else think it's very staged?

Roisin is very easy on the eye.

Does anyone else think it's very staged?

Whaaaaaat? On TV?

Shortage of male totty.

Shortage of male totty?

Seen the females?! I actually thought the males are better looking.

The one with the bad taste in headscarves annoyed me. Everytime she was questioned she threw in 'I only sell things for the asian market'. WTF. A sort of 'don't question me I'll throw in the feint-race card to stop you'.

Then there was 'I can do anything as long as its online media'.

Right.

The one that worries me the most and is also the most eloquent/can actually communicate- The Sales and digital marketing bloke. Hes a political animal but no actual product etc/ability. Just someone who will successfully divide everyone and not have much content himself.

Does anyone else think it's very staged?

Without the drama, cock-ups and hissy fits there is no program, the production team makes sure they get what they want.

No it's just very well edited to show them in the worst light
