    Good lord above.

    Is this rubbish still on the telly?

    This particular ‘show’ had already moved beyond self-parody the last time I had the misfortune to see any of it (about three years ago).

    To quote Blackadder (although he was talking about morris dancing):

    Morris dancing is the most fatuous, tenth-rate entertainment ever devised by man. Forty effeminate blacksmiths waving bits of cloth they’ve just wiped their noses on. How it’s still going on in this day and age I’ll never know.

    (Adapted):

    Morris dancing The Apprentice is the most fatuous, tenth-rate entertainment ever devised by man. Forty effeminate blacksmiths waving bits of cloth they’ve just wiped their noses on. Twenty narcissistic tosspots in nasty ‘what the Nazis would have worn had they been in Business’ clothes and frankly scary make-up. How it’s still going on in this day and age I’ll never know.

    What’s Attenborough up to these days? Surely he could team up with Ray Mears for some kind of outdoors/nature type series or something???

    there are two categories: those who can think and lead and those who need to be told how to wipe their own arses with a step-by-step guide. Rather like work: there is management and there is staff.

    No need to ask which is which 😉

    Lord Sugar gives the winner £250k from his net worth of £1,4bn. He’s not going to worry if he loses the lot and many of the candidates seem to have a 1 or 2 year relationship before going their seperate ways.
    Hardly a serious show except to push brand Sugar.

    Can you remember who won the X Factor 2 years ago? No? Neither can anyone else, including Simon Cowell. The result is neither here nor there. The point of a journey isn’t necessarily to arrive. The Apprentice is just the XFactor for a slightly different species of inexplicably overconfident bell end, who are too stupid to realise that they’re not really the point.

    It does still amaze me that they’ve watched the program and haven’t fathomed this out. They really must be breathtakingly thick!

    Well he’s still doing TV but I guess as you’ve not seen him on Strictly you’d not know that.

    Well I bloody love it. I especially love the big where they go ‘he’s on the blower…cars will be here in half an hour’

    (Cut to montage of them ironing their shirts, having saunas, taking relaxing baths)

    Oh, and anyone who sneers their little contempty bile on us plebs…the shows probably a bit too close for comfort.

    Is this the celebrity version as I see the girls team have Grayson Perry and the singer from Aerosmith on it.

    two possible candidates for me so far – the rest I want to batter to death with a sledge hammer.

    And Jack Dee on You’ve been fired – No…..bring back Dara. Sorry Jack.

    Did you call him that with a straight face? What’s wrong with “Baron E-m@iler” ?

    She probably drives a VW too.

    you actually think any of them have been selected for the show due to their outstanding business acumen??? 😯

    none of the women are good looking…having said that the one that got fired last night seemed to scrub up ok-ish on “You’re Fired” last night.

    her and the other one (the one who thinks she looks like Pink) should have been fired….out of a cannon!!

    Yeah, it’s tellie innit?

    If their business idea was THAT could they wouldn’t need to be on TV!

    (As it happens I usually get the two finalists right, if not the actual winner)

    it helps when you see how stupid some of them actually are…what bloke watches Strictly for the dancing ability??

    Because you’ve worked with people like that. I have. We all have.

    Which is why I don’t watch it. If I’ve had to put up with contemptible **** like that at work, why on earth would I want to watch anything that even remotely reminds me of them in my free time?

    .what bloke watches Strictly for the dancing ability??

    Those that are fans of ballroom dancing?

    what are the business ideas?

    As you know that’s not revealed yet but clearly mean time that means it’s Ok to judge their business skills just on their looks.

    I can see their point – we only ever employ attractive people – we don’t ask for CVs, just a semi-pro portrait shot. 😉
