I was an Apprentice fan and will watch this series. It’s getting a bit tired now though.
I was a fan, but haven't watched it for the last few series as it has been tired for a long time imho..... I did hear a good suggestion for how to jazz it up a bit that I would like to see though.It would be good to split the two teams up into "Book smart" and "Street smart" and see if there were different approaches between them. I'd also like to see longer more meaningful tasks (and not the same old artificial gameshow style tasks that have been used on repeat for the last n years)
i.e. Take all of the Uni educated, corporate wallys and pitch them against the no Educashun lot; Give them 2, 3, or 4 week long tasks where they are allowed to use phones and computers and have enough time to actually do something that might be meaningful in the real world. Make it actually relative to the real world.
Granted, the above is now a completely different show, but it could actually be quite interesting, whereas the only thing that "Shutup, Your're fired" teaches me is that Lord Sugar is a t
t to work for/with. fat80b said:

Agree with the whole show format thing. I expect he isn’t really like that to work for or with though.

Seems the whole show is about setting people up to fail and make silly boastful statements. with plenty of alcohol on tap at night, followed by the phone call at crack of dawn.
Housing them all together so they can't escape each other and then filming the whole series back to back, day after day purposely to grind contestants down then to edit all the juicy bits out of hundreds of hours footage, rinse and repeat.
Lord Sugar got lucky and made his fortune in commercial property, not Amstrad clock radios.
And the winner's 'prize' seems like BS too.
I will probably end up watching though I preferred it when a job was on offer not an investment. It now feels like he picks the businesses he is interested in up front then whittles away the rest to make the programme.
For many, a bit like Dragon's Den, if you have made and run such successful businesses "making millions" why do you want to share that success by giving a large portion of it away?
Sadly too much of it now is self promotion like all other reality TV, hope they have made changes to improve it this time round.
