If you have a killer idea or business plan surely there are easier ways to raise £250,000

Ive just caught the last half of this for the for the first time.

I wouldn't let any of them run my bath, never mind my business. In previous series have they been as useless and annoying?

Do they have a programme that shows the selection process? Or is it just, 'Here's the candidates.'

I can't watch it, it makes me cringe too much. In every series the candidates are a representation of the crap state of British workers coming out of our schools and colleges. I will happily admit that I was one - in my first pots-grad job I didn't even know what an invoice was. I certainly knew absolutely naff all about business and a lot of poor people must have suffered my incompetence while I learned on the job.

even more so!

wasn't the one booted last week foreign? I think every country have their own share of numpties. It's just we stick them on tv so we can laugh and cringe at them

Just as the X-Factor contestants aren't the most talented singers in the world ever™, the cretins on Apprentice aren't the best business people ever. Just so you know.

No one mentioned Surallen yet.. I think he does a pretty good job as ringmaster, allowing these ego's to collide for our entertainment...

I reckon they choose the majority as idiots and a few who will end up looking reasonable.

'Surallan' is no more, and it's hilarious to watch the contestants forget he's now a lord of the realm.

The problem is so many young "business" people think that's how they need to speak to get by. It's amazing to talk to people who can talk for an hour with little real content. I once tried to explain to a recruiter why I wouldn't use him again (no good CVs, no hires, loads of wasted time) and he kept saying we should turn the setback into an opportunity and said there was a good chance of a 360 degree turnaround on our relationship. The last bit I agreed with and he seemed happy but puzzled like a labrador puppy that just crapped on the carpet and doesn't quite understand why their owner is mad.

I don't mind bullshit bingo if it's not covering up stupidity. Of course it's equally good at covering up intelligence too so I'd rather live without it.

She hardly said a word in You're Fired last night so I hope she says more on BBC Breakfast.

Has Sugar really justified a Lordship, and would he have got it without the Apprentice?

IIRC he made a heap of cash with pcs back in the say, but that business seemed to fail, he tried to make some crappy internet telephones (which were laughably used by the receptionist in the show!) and otherwise made his money on a property portfolio bought in the 80s boom times?

cynical-al, he actually cleaned up on set top boxes and was canny to spot the opportunity in pay TV

Still find it entertaining if only to show how far the media can push the idea that absolute bollocks = fact

"Being an attractive blonde businesswoman...."

Cringe making. Those people are doing more than anybody to put youngsters off going into business.

Mind you, S'rAlan is a cyclist and rides a bike with electronic gears so he can't be that much of a failure.

that 'shabby chic' stuff the team that lost did was so bad it was untrue. What were they thinking.

But so unlike AS to let the eye candy leave so early. He normally salivates over them for at least a few episodes.

He hired one of them a few seasons back. She's currently taking him to tribunal for constructive dismissal. That might have something to do with his current aversion to blonde totty types.

I may have to flick through it again on I Player just to make sure, but I'm fairly certain that one of the 'hipsters' on Brick lane was wearing what appeared to be a leopard print jump suit. Too hip for me matey...

Having discovered punk in 76*, and being into Bowie / Roxy before then, I'm no stranger to looking 'interesting', but Jesus, does he not own a mirror?

barnsleymitch - we noticed that too. I immediately thought of Nathan Barley

It was at that point we observed that if you couldn't sell overpriced junk to that particular bunch of monied, half-witted, gullible trustafarian toss-pots, then it really is time to give up
