The Apprentice 2023

[Spice_Weasel]

I’ve got an idea. There’s a little business community there, selling each other hair extensions and hair cuts, eating at Megan’s dessert bar by day, drinking cocktails at night and then working it all off the next morning at Marnie’s boxing gym. All in a communal 50 sq m business hub.

[Timothy Bucktu]

Marnie for the win. At least she'd do some good.

[Ikemi]

I’ve only just started watching … Who reads a business plan in the bathroom whilst brushing their hair? Surely there was another room that was more interesting and unoccupied.

Also, dessert cafe and sweets … Similar to last year, and the year before that?

I guess it’s all entertainment! Smaller skyscraper this year too!

How? She wants to set up near the BOE building and not pay any staff a wage.

...and they wonder why there's a gender pay gap

I haven’t watched this program in years.

The last time I did watch, there was at least a minuscule crumb of credibility in the candidates.

Clearly not anymore. I wouldn’t employ any of them to empty the bins.

Crying in an interview? Christ on a bike….

LET'S GO MARNIE!!

Can't believe I missed an hour of The Man With The Golden Gun for that.

The world doesn't need another hair salon...but a Female boxing promoter - she'll win it 100%. Just because she's a Woman promoting a sport, and...meh...details.

[SmoothCriminal]

How did she think she was going to get away not offering Sugar a stake in her existing shop.

Ridiculous idea anyway

[abzmike]

At this point it’s satire.
I actually feel sorry for his Lordship being committed to having to give a penny to any of these idiots. There have got to be more deserving entrepreneurs than these TV wannabes.
As for Baroness Botox, the less said the better.

It's got nothing to do with her sex.

Boxing gym next to the BOE paying staff no wages, genius.

"Baroness Brady". What a .

When she said goodbye to Megan, I’d have loved her to turn round and say “That’s Miss Hornby to you”.

Then again, I have to admit that I’d quite like to sit in front of Baroness Karreness and for her to make me cry…

[Big Stevie]

Karren the Baron

So you're in the final, and now you have to choose which of the shower of sh!te candidates you're bringing back for your team. Who are you choosing, or not choosing?

I’d have pissed myself laughing.

We really have hit rock bottom with this lot. Crying in the interview was the last straw.

Did they all write their business plans in that one day between the phone call and the interviews? That's including time spent googling for "what is a business plan".

I think Dani let the cat out of the bag a bit when she said she hadn’t added stock to her website because she didn’t think she would get that far in the show. The business was clearly just something she had to do to get on the show.

The least worst are in the final, I can imagine what the 10 other muppets wanted to do?

How the producers ended up with those 5
Hair, hair, sweets, cafe - boxing

In a recession the only one still trading is sweets

[Gary Woodland]

It just feels nasty now to me. A load of geriatrics dunking on fairly thick people for an hour. Didn’t enjoy anything about it and felt like it didn’t really go much into the businesses but instead concentrated on tepid burns.

I am mega curious where the heck a kiosk costs 7.5k a week though?! Did I miss it?

E: 50k bbl whilst not trading seems baffling and even fraudulent too lol. And the free staff thing was obscene. What a disappointing person.

I only watch it for Karren Brady......always need to take a cold shower after

[vulture1]

What were the other candidates business ideas that didnt make it if this terrible lot made it to the final 5?
