Does anyone know how the long they film for and if the contestants are in that house for the april to july period?

When I got to the initial stages, back in February / March, they said it would be “up to 9 weeks” from early April, dependant on how far you get. Then you would be expected to go back to help with the ‘final projects’, and yes, they are in the house for the whole process ( until they get canned).

Nut milk has been trading 2 months from domestic premises delivered by hand - its a school mum business. Her main requirement was tetrapack what about making the fking stuff never mind the logistics.

.

It was 3 months! Not only has this 'business' only been operating for 3 months, she's made a grand total of around £1200 in sales. So £400 a month. How is that a viable business that Sugar could possibly be interested in? Calling it a 'business' is being incredibly generous and it seems utterly insane he's even entertaining the idea.

I really can't see Sugar being taken in by this pipe-dream. The only vaguely reasonable proposition is the nut-milk. It's not what Sugar would have hoped for, but it's the best he can do

It's what I don't get with this investment bit instead of the job at the end - we're left with a couple of businesses that wouldn't get in front of Dragon's Den, let alone get an investment. Plus next week they have to competely rebrand their business and let the apprentice failures loose on their livelihood. I know it's just a TV show but forcing them to change their tagline, logo, etc. seems crazy to me.

Here's Camilla's website, she seems to have stepped it up a notch now so I guess maybe she won (unless her dad invested?)? Claims she's launching 'in a major retailer' in December. Having watched Dragons Den that seems impossible for someone who's only been trading for 3 months so she must have Sugars backing?

Not convinced - that doesn't look like a brand Lord Sugar would put his name to. The "major retailer" could be anything from a nationwide rollout in Tesco, or getting an order for a couple of dozen pints from the local Spar.

Do you think it's a coincidence that her cousin is apparently Mick Norcross of TOWIE fame? What are the chances that Lord Sugar, an Essex man, should choose a finalist who just happens to have connections to well known Essex faces?

Used to watch The Apprentice every year, but have missed the last 2 or 3.

Is it just me or has the standard slipped considerably?

I watched last nights episode and thought they were a bunch of eejits. Especially that bloke - just blatantly lying.

Like you we used to watch it but since it became a cheque for £250k rather than a job the program has lost it's direction. Didn't watch the last few years but somehow got drawn into it again this year. It is strangely watchable probably because the participants are so lightweight.

[Evangelion]

I'm now seriously considering the possibility that, for the first time ever, Shugs may not invest in either of the two finalists.

I wouldn't.

It's changed from the early days but still fun.

MylkPlus is not a Lord Sugar website, you cannot assume she has won from that online makeover, no full digital agency would use Squarespace for a start!
I think they are "milking" the exposure arf arf

Sians website is a much bigger agency based in Leeds mainly (where she is) so not much to be gleaned from that, however looking at the two sites, one has no items to buy but a T shirt the other has top draw product shots and real attention to detail, from what I am seeing online Sian has won by a mile.

only one crappy flavour, and £13 for four tiny bottles including shipping, with delivery on an unspecified date between now and Christmas? I can't see Tesco rushing to stock them just yet!

Agreed, I can't see Lord Sugar invest in a company with this kind of merchandise:

https://www.mylkplus.com/shop?category=Merch

The t-shirt and mug have a cow on them with the caption "Leave my tits alone"

[Evangelion]

And what are mylk baes?

And why is their only product called 'M+lk'?

I enjoyed this season quite a bit, I mean all ladies were fit or fit-ish. The last 2 seasons before this were horrendously bad.

According to my TV & Sat mag 'The Apprentice: Why I Fired Them' is on BBC1 at nine o'clock this evening.

[rallycross]

Just watched this drivell on catch up, 2nd episode I've see and the first time of really paying any attention to these clowns.

What a hopeless bunch of useless millennial fkwits, the people who should be fired are the people producing the program!
