I quite often think some of my colleagues are a-holes, but after watching 2 episodes of this I almost consider myself lucky that I work with 'normal' people.
What a bunch of self serving tossers, wont bother next week as its getting as gringe inducing as watching the office but for different reasons. I'm oot....oh no thats another show 😳

There's not one of them who, in a normal working environment, wouldn't have been beaten to death by mid morning of their first day

People watch this crap? 😯
I had the misfortune to fleetingly appear in it when I helped some of the contestants photograph some dogs for a pet food thing they were doing in the last series (or maybe the one before). The 3 who came to the studio seemed nice enough but the others on the episode I watched were right bellends.
Like most TV program's there is no 'entertainment' if the director/producers don't have contestants with runaway ego's to generate content. It would be more tedious to watch if they diligently went about their tasks in a businesslike manner.

And as for that sugar bloke? He made his fortune in property when the market was rising and cheap computers, everything else was a complete failure, I'm amazed he is fĂȘted by the media as some business guru.

Well, the only semi-decent one was fired last night - madder than a UKIP voter but comparatively decent.

The forthcoming battle between Rebecca & the four horsefaces of the apocalypse has the potential to make the seige of Leningrad look like a game of tiddlywinks.

Bring it on.

Maybe I've been lucky but I've never worked with or for anyone who is remotely like the idiots on the Apprentice.

You sure about that? 😉
I can think of a few names.... 😀

Does anyone remember the name of a late 80's puppet or ventriloquist act that had a big round face, eyebrows like the bloke mentioned above and huge green eyes. He would have appeared on stuff like the variety show or sat night tv. Anyone remember this?

I don't watch TV regularly but made an exception last night for some reason and ended up sitting through The Apprentice, then switched over and happened upon Made In Chelsea. I've got to say I'm genuinely shocked, is it all like this? It made me hate my fellow man.

Watching Made in Chelsea has been known to send even zen-like Buddhist monks into a psychotic murderous frenzy, swearing to head towards Stamford Bridge with meat cleavers, pliers and a blowtorch.

If everyone in the country were made to watch it at the same time, we'd have a bloody revolution on our hands within seconds!

Actually.... I wonder if I can make this happen

Most 'reality' TV is like this. So long as:

A) You don't take it seriously

and

B) You feel a little bit bad for laughing at other people

Then you can get through it!

BBC4, Dave and Yesterday seem to be the channels most often on in our house (after CBeebies).

At least the savings the beeb make churning out this crap might enable them to make something like 'Planet Earth' again.

Step 1 when designing furniture - do some market research. When it tells you what you don't want to hear, ignore it and go ahead with you plan anyway...

Watching this is a bit like being at work. Every week you think it can't get any worse and every week they prove you wrong!!

Amazing - buying stock from Surrey shop at retail prices. I know that exact shop and their prices are far from value. And they need a margin on top.. I struggle to buy from that shop in the first place let alone trying to put a margin on their (inflated?) prices!!

Crazy!!!

It stresses me out as well, the gf is watching it on tv while I'm on STW on the laptop. It's basically an hour of irritating people arguing loudly.

Are people really like this in real life or is it the introduction of a camera that turns them in to prize plums.?

Prize plums? Should've sold them in the Farm Shop.

I really must make a recommendation for Laverstoke Park Farm who supplied the buffalo. Excellent place and the farm shop has a good selection of meat including rare breeds.

For those we aren't aware, buffalo is low cholestoral. In fact you may see them when you go along the drive. 8) Ice cream made from buffalo milk is out of this world and far better than any others! It really is delicious. Sometimes found in Waitrose.

The Farm is near Overton, Hampshire and owned by Jody Scheckter, formerly a Formula 1 racing driver.

A relative of mine was on the show a couple of years ago. She already had a successful recruitment agency in Yorkshire and would genuinely have benefitted from the opportunity offered by Mr Sugar. She is normal and hardworking.

However because she wasn't a complete shouty know it all retard like the rest of them she was kicked off after a few programmes.

She went back to the recruitment business.

Is it really a genuine job offer at the end? Is it worth it?

It enrages me so much I couldn't even bear to watch most of the ones with my relative in. It's so bad it makes me want to gouge out my eyeballs with a rusty spoon and pour hydroflouric acid into my ears. After I've fed all the contestants into a slow moving meat grinding machine, after peeling their skin off and rolling them in salt.

At first I viewed the Freddie chap as an immensely humorous comedy figure. Laughing at him harmed no-one because he's a joke.

Now I'm afraid I'd happily push him under a bus. He's not comedy, he's tragedy.

Irish girl makes me laugh too as does the one with the nice body and horrible face/brain.

I think the whole show has become a huge mockery of itself with some absolutely genius casting people operating somewhere behind the London 'failed' door of the London school of business.

It's unbelievable! I could quite happily push both Luisa and Leah under a bus. Must confess to hair envy of Rebecca and her up-do. 🙂

The blokes seem less offensive than the wimminz, to be fair.
