I think it's a mix of 'keep the dumb ones, keep the attractive ones, keep the ones with the best business plans' sorted.

Is this the weakest class in recent years? It's early days but so far only Sofiane has shown promise (wk1), all the others are too quiet/stupid/annoying.

In the boardroom Mukai said his 'skills' are fashion, marketing and communications hence taking on the role of Project Manager; you wouldn't have guessed it by the way he messed up the presentation! According to the Apprentice site, his last job was 'senior communications manager'.

Great car crash TV though.

Anyway has anyone read this? 'Behind-the scenes' according to Selina from last year.

Agreed. Why should this be a surprise to anyone?

To be honest - I have always assumed they picked the one (maybe 2) they wanted at the start and they are quietly shepherded through the big K's of this world to safety at the other end. Ultimately Shugs will always have someone else to fire and can swap people round at will.

Whilst at all times cartoon characters like the others are kept in as long as possible for our tele entertainment

Yup, surely no-one believes that the business plans are handed over in week 8 or whatever and the finalists have not been pre-selected based upon this? I mean, who is going to throw 250k at some of the idiotic plans they must have!?

And scripted etc. Well, it's reality TV, aren't they all?!

[Slaav]

Just caught up on 'You're fired' and what a weird guest/contestant resting bh face was? Thick? Or out if it???

Uncomfortable viewing.....

Business plans are discussed during auditions

[Laurel Green]

Here we go once more unto the breach.

Has Karen been embalmed recently?

[Laurel Green]

She did look terrible under the stage lights.

[RosscoPCole]

They choose their flavours and type of sweets, then they are told how to make them. So they have no idea how to do it then discover that they have chosen the mist difficult to make.
Hmmmm I have a feeling that the programme makers did this deliberately.

[FourWheelDrift]

"we want you to make 190 with blue and white stripes"
"ok got that"
"they need to be ready ok"
"ok got that"

[click] phone hung up

"So what do they want?"
"they said blue and white but then changed their minds, they now want them red"

[CoolHands]

That scene with Oliver on the phone and the others all interrupting saying the rock was snapped, seemed to be entirely fake and made up. It was like a bit of TOWIE where they re-film events.

[FourWheelDrift]

Salt & Vinegar fudge

[Laurel Green]

'Tis becoming a parody of The Muppets.

[Hub]

I'm trying to think who Oliver reminds me of - a Harry Enfield character perhaps, like Tim-nice-but-dim?

[FourWheelDrift]

Terrific adding up skills from the management consultant, getting it wrong even with a calculator in front of her.

Faith restored in muppetry.

Just when you think it can't get any worse. This is a farce.

[CoolHands]

Perhaps we're all being had & they're all actors. Cos surely any contestants would have watched previous series and not be such fking idiots.

[Escort3500]

The series is becoming increasingly stage-managed with every episode.
