The Apprentice 2019
Discussion
At the end of the day,I thought the girls were lucky to win, given that they had two refunds whereas the guys had none.
I'd have thought that anything involving booze would be a winner, as the customers would be too pissed to complain, but that obviously didn't work in this case.
And is it just me getting older, or is the totty better this year?

Typical mix of silver spoon plastic ladies that think they can steamroll everyone to get to the top.
Then you have the arrogant wide boy car dealer type that think wearing a suit gives them 50% more IQ.
I've met many Thomas Skinners in my time and he reminds of the sort of bloke that tries to convince you to buy a car in a colour you specifically said you wouldn't touch with a barge pole because it's 'unique' and a 'one-off'.
I wouldn't have gone for the wine/safari type of tour because anyone that's been to South Africa knows there are at least 20 wine/safari tours.
Murder/crime tour would have been my choice. No shortage of content considering Cape Town is one of the worlds most dangerous cities.
Lottie has to be the most annoying contestant so far, just waiting for someone to gag her.

Looks like a vintage season of the Apprentice. Not one ounce of common sense between the lot of them but bluff & bluster by the cartload.
i.e. "I've loads of experience in Event Management" to the team = "I spent a season as a rep for Club 18-30" to the camera later.
It's going to be great
They've already painted Lottie as the villain, if previous years are anything to go by (remember Jackie last year), Lottie won't feature much over the next few episodes and by the midway stage we'll be cheering her on.

I think the bloke who does "Del Boy" Trotter impressions is for an early firing.
He reminds me of the Uber cock-eney from Stripers Cars For Cash, even looks a bit like him.From the clips before it started, I thought it was likely the public schoolboy (Ryan-Mark Parsons - who has a double barrelled first name???) would be out in the first episode. But he impressed me last night - when the customers were complaining that they'd been promised the big 5 when they bought the tickets, he got them laughing. Could be a bit of a dark horse.
I think they need to reconsider teams winning purely on profit. The girls tour was dog s
t and in real life they'd have been slated on Trip Advisor and probably never had another customer again whereas the boys actually delivered on a decent safari.
Where they fked up (besides the wide boy salesman not selling the tickets) was not binning off the stone painting in favour of going straight to the gift shop. I doubt the tourists would have complained they didn't get to paint rocks as they all looked bored stiff at that.

Christ that was painful to watch. Biff was lucky the shop owner didn’t pull a shotgun on him 
The way he spoke to her was one of the more uncomfortable things I’ve seen on tv recently!
Quite. The way he spoke to her was one of the more uncomfortable things I’ve seen on tv recently!I think Shahin did well to intervene and knock 2.5% off just to calm it down, I'm surprised that wasn't picked up more in the boardroom, normally they're really hot on contestants rubbing the business owners up the wrong way or bad mouthing them. Still, at least Biff didn't go on about it to much
Totally agree with another poster that the boys group did far better at entertaining the punters than the girls but just selling 12 tickets killed them (if they'd given the last 4 away at a knock down price then we'd have had the 'person x asked for a refund as he'd paid over the odds for his ticket' story....).
Lottie looks a complete nightmare, selective filming probably didn't help her.
Lewis looked so calm and composed letting all the others fight it out to begin with, I thought hes playing this right - then all of a sudden the red mist descended! Can't see him lasting long like that.
Thomas/Biff - what can you say ? One of those guys that has his nose into every conversation, is your best friend until you disagree with him, has an opinion on everything. A social hand grenade I believe they're called these days.
Plenty of candidates hardly got any screen time last night, so still time for a slightly normal candidate to appear
Is that a real picture or a bad CGI render?I think the lads did the right thing staying out to not get refunds but they should have reduced the cost to sell the remaining places.
I dont blame the bloke losing his rag in the board room but probably not the best to do it in front of lord sugar.
One thing i thought was strange was rather than shooting each other, the lads in the safari team all backed each other up and worked as a team even in the board room

omg you're fired is even worse this year.
Normally enjoy You're Fired, but last night was just weird with the host doing pretty much all the talking, and that clip of Greg James (?) asking funny questions to the candidates' audition tapes was just painful. I'm hoping it's just because it's the first in the series and they can't say "Oh Biff's up to his usual tricks again" yet.FunkyNige said:

Also regarding Lottie. A librarian, in a school? That's not a real job, come on!
