I refuse to watch because I can't stand Alan Sugar. Extracts from his autobiography read like I Am Zlatan if it were written by Trump, a cockney chimney sweep, and Daniel Plainview.

Ah, but don't you know he made £50m a month back in the 1950s by flogging half-eaten potatoes on the streets of London? Proper businessman.

I refer the honourable...um...people to an allegedly genuine snippet of Sugar's autobiography Fack you lot - I'm Loaded:
Cor blimey, oo'd believe it? Me, a poor Victorian chimney sweep getting knighted by Her Royal Majesty (i.e. the Kween)!!!! Me old mum was dead proud as I drove to Buck Palace in the gold Bentley I bought after ripping off gullible twats like Steve with my Excalibur 900000 Home Computer with Radioactive Flight Deck™. Bloomin' Ada, stone the crows, Chas n' Dave, knees up Mother Brown plus expenses.

Is it the same business partner format? Bit bored of that.

Only watched the first few series and then got bored of the format and of the contestants. May watch this series because they isn't much else on television these days if you don't have a subscription service.

Candidates have been revealed:


It's a thread you can scroll down.

Thomas has already set himself up for failure with 'when I plan, I always get it wrong' :lol:

First thoughts. There's a decent amount of attractive women in it this time. Sexist pig.

It'd be nice to get a few likeable contestants for a change this year, I get that you need a cutthroat personality/ruthless streak to survive in the Apprentice but it'd be nice to have someone to root for :lol:

These things seem to attract the sort of people that you want to see fail.

True, I suppose half the fun is watching the arrogant ones get knocked down a few pegs.

He gets more arrogant the older he gets. Proper believes his own hype. Unless I'm mistaken he used to be (or at least appear) fairly witty on this show but over the last year or two he's seemed much less so. I genuinely think he's gone a bit senile.

I was a little too young to remember when he was the Spurs chairman.

What was he like? Decent or crap?

First impression of the candidates: 90% bellends.

Secondly, it's turning into a weird spin-off of Love Island.

Will still tune in though, and no CL distraction this time :cool:

Couldn’t believe Lottie is only 19!

Was funny seeing that Lewis lose his rag at both Adam & Shami in the boardroom :lol:

Both were shit. That pillow salesman is a right dick. Hope he's out sooner rather than later.
The actual tour the guys put on wasn't too bad. Had a laugh with the passengers and made the right decision to see the elephants instead of going back. They just totally fecked the sales.

Guess it helps that a safari is inherently more interesting then a tour of a cellar.

Runner up of one of the series was one of our clients .. seemed like a bellend on the show but in real life super astute guy, very personable who’s raking it in now. These guys play it up for the cameras.
