The Apprentice 2019
Discussion
waiting for the 'no s
t sherlock' replies here but..
what is the point of all the tasks if someone has a good business plan surely he'll just keep them in the process.
does that make everything a fix?
i mean, a blindingly obvious fix?
surely he wouldn't kick someone out for being a dick/not selling/arguing etc when they have a plan that could make LS a truck load of cash?

Having watched it from the first series, I find I dip in and out of it these days.
I think it's partly because of the repetition of some of the same basic tasks (organise/promote an event, make a TV commercial, choose products and pitch them to a retailer), but also because I am less interested in the contestants. When it was genuinely people who were in business, I found it more credible. At the risk of sounding like an old giffer, now it seems to feature, as an earlier poster alluded to, people who look like they should be on Love Island, are barely out of short trousers and are, in many cases, so unbelievably full of excrement, it's not the appointment viewing it used to be. However, even if I miss the programme, I generally try and watch 'The Apprentice - You're Fired'.
We only really watch the main show to understand what they're talking about on You're Fired...I think it's partly because of the repetition of some of the same basic tasks (organise/promote an event, make a TV commercial, choose products and pitch them to a retailer), but also because I am less interested in the contestants.

"A self-proclaimed “maverick” who doesn’t like to follow the rules"
Wasn't that the tag-line to "Swallow" the Norwich detective series Alan Partridge tried to pitch to Tony Hayers?
not a criminal, you know, but he will, perhaps, travel 80mph on the motorway if, for example, he wants to get somewhere quickly..."A self-proclaimed “maverick” who doesn’t like to follow the rules"

Agreed - there was almost always 2-3 very credible people (likely finalists), a few that didn't fit the mould required for the final but were good at what they did, and a handful of comedy no-hopers, last of those weeded out during the interview round.I watched the intro programme the other day, and not one of them showed a sliver of credibility. Still, plenty horrific clichés spouted, which seems to be what people think "business" (selling) is about.
It's also very telling that Alan Sugar doesn't employ the winners these days.
