Whilst I'm looking forward to the interview round, I do think the interviewers are all playing up to the camera and being as unpleasant as they possibly can, which does get a bit tiresome and seems to me to be just as unprofessional as most of the candidates themselves.

Yep Claude Litner was a classic case.

Initially played typical Billy big bks pit bull interviewing technique but in reality he is a limp cockapoo wet lettuce type.

But more successful than most. Net worth £34m. How much are you worth?

Slightly less, admittedly.

Wealth is irrelevant.

You are conflating wealth with interviewing technique which is clearly what we were referring to.

On the show he is an actor.

The point I was feebly trying to make is that I doubt he is a limp cockapoo in real life, he does what he needs to do.

I remember him being interviewed a while back and he'd had some kind of health issues (heart problem?) after which he said he'd calmed down. We'll see...

Speaking personally, I'm not worth anywhere near that. But I'm really nice!

I did feel a bit sorry for Steve, he seems a really nice bloke, but that isn't what it's about.

Did anyone else think that Steve admitting that he was "Back to zero" if he didn't win the investment was an absolutely massive clanger? He then admitted on You're Fired that he had canned his wonderful idea anyway.

I think Lord Sucrose dodged a big bullet there, personally.

[daqinggregg]

Should FOLUSO, have been canned earlier, quite possibly; on this task, definitely not.

The whole, moving one person across to another team, just wrong.

[FourWheelDrift]

It was always going to be 4 against 3 if they moved or not.

He came off his bike and got quite badly injured.

Yeah he seemed desperate.

I didn't see You're Fired, oh so it must have been a great idea then!

Anyone corrected her bad grammar?

Could they, not pull one out, based on their past achievements to sit on the bench (so to speak), therefore, three versus three.

I know its entertainment, but it should have some semblance of reality.

[av185]

The Apprentice lost any semblence of reality years back.

I swear some of these kids get a few thousand social media followers and think they’ve made it in life.

Out of curiosity I checked out her Insta after she got the boot and it’s utter st. They seem to think they’re influencing others by taking a pouty selfie, I don’t get it…

Fear for the future of that generation…

Yes, that was exactly the thing to avoid saying, it's not the X Factor, where the sob story is equally important. And if getting turned down for this meant he was "back to zero", he ain't all that.

Foluso? She was hung out to dry this week for sure, but has been pretty inept in earlier weeks.

As always, the candidates with either a half-decent business plan, or a whopping lie on their CV, are through to the interview stage.

[mgtony]

Whenever there are two on a branding task, one has a 'vision' and anytime the other person tries to suggest something better they are ignored and in the boardroom called a disruptor.

I thought someone on here had worked with him, or at least had dealings with him several times. Said he was actually a very pleasant and competent guy.

I am becoming bored with the "Come up with a product, a brand and a marketing strategy" tasks; there seemed to be too many of them in this series. To some extent the show deliberately sets the candidates up to fail - it's entertaining TV after all, but to create, brand and market a product within 48 hours is nigh on impossible. I prefer the tasks where they have to buy a list of items, the guided tour ones or the TV shopping channel.

Anyway, Lord Sugar has no doubt got the final five he wanted all along: bring on the interviews and let's see Claude Littner doing his thing. There was a sneak preview last night, with Claude saying "These are the ravings of a lunatic" to one hapless contestant.

And so the Amstrad Emailer was born

And there was me thinking that April fools day was a week ago!

Yeah he made it almost seem like he'd be homeless or something it came across really poorly but I think that might have been the editing.

More from the internet, who will win ?
