What's the point of the masks if they are now talking over the lollies without wearing them?
They’re not strictly masks as such. Called beard snoods, only worn if sporting facial hair.

Not only this but I loved the 4am phone call! you have 20 minutes, then it is daylight outside when they leave! Almost as if they want to show people there working 20 hour+ day, complete pony!!!
I thought that bit was for the gratuitous skimpy underwear scenes? biggrin

Its not about the fake kitchens being ready for them, do you really want to see a task where they have to phone up kitchen companies, phone up lolly shape suppliers complete a basic food hygine course get the certificate etc.

The idea is to put them in the negatiating positions with genuine people who have been pre briefed that if the contestant says the right thing they get the deal.

Years ago in the early days they had some real life tasks I remember them being plumped on a used car forecore and some made genuine sales having never done it before in their lifes.

Caught up over the weekend and this is the first series of the apprentice I can honestly say I don't think I'll get all the way through. It's at the point where it's not entertaining anymore it's just love island in suits with even bigger dheads.

And I say this as someone who'll happily sit and watch a lot of crap on TV.

I've said the same thing the last 2 series. But I still watched until the bitter end. If you don't watch it, you miss out on the banter in this thread, 'Honest Subtitles' etc.

Its not that id like to see them acquire the kitchen and contacts its more a case of in the real world you just wouldn't achieve these. Lets say you did manage to, if you made £400 between 8 people over 2 days you would go bust pretty quickly!

They are pathetic and their joy at making a few hundred pounds shows that. It is ridiculous.

That said i thoroughly enjoy watching it hehe

I may have said this before in this thread, but; it's akin to the old days, when one would troop up to the local asylum of a Sunday morning and pay a penny for a stick with which to poke the inhabitants with. biggrin

How any of these buffoons actually run a company is beyond me. Yet they already claim to be successful business people.

'claim' is the key word here.

The corporate world is full of them though, I am sure some would do anything, legal, illegal, immoral or whatever if they get the status, a few quid and a shiny German car.
