4am phone rings, pitch black outside, informed its cars in 20 minutes.
20 minutes later (apparently) they leave the house, immaculately turned out, make up, styled hair etc...impressive in the time. It's bright day light.

What utter nonsense.

Exactly the same again this week. It's so ludicrous I'm fascinated by it now. Laughable.

Ring ring ring ring

"hello?"

"lord sugar would like to see you at the mayfair hotel" the cars have already left"

I think Jana would have got chopped if he hadn't quit. I read they made him do some diversity training for saying 'coloured'. Not sure if this was why he really quit.

It's another thing that's become tired with this programme.

When parents had a villa there we were told by the locals it was Turkiye pronounced something like Turk-eye

People in the UK had it as Turkey, but even now we're suddenly pronouncing it how they do locally, maybe we didn't know? it sounds daft now though.

Are there any stand out decent candidates this year?

Most of them seem useless! I know it's cleverly edited to show that but some are completely clueless.

Mia, possibly. Won as PM, been on the winning team in all but one, the disaster of the dictatorship of Amber-Rose and the stupid virtual pop star task. Jordan has also only lost once but has yet to be a PM on a task, but his business plan is rubbish.

I sort of think Mia already knows she's already in the final with these bunch of clowns, seems a lot more switched on that the rest!

Lets see, a ride in a shonkey old Land Rover up a goat herders track or a hot air balloon ride, which one will win!

As above, Mia seems pretty good and should hopefully do well as long as she doesn't do anything silly.

Also, Emma stands out for me, mainly because of the length of her pleasingly shapely legs...

I knew I wouldn't be the only one to notice that!

(I wonder how tall she is?)

Coloured is definitely out, I remember when Alan Hansen said it on MOTD, that was the beginning of the end for him.

I see objectification is alive and well on ph.

The programme is about their abilities based on tasks.

Not being able to lay a table was a new low.

It is, but saying 'That woman has nice legs' is not objectification. Men are allowed to be attracted to women, and vice versa.

Level of expectation and cultural factors - British people expect booze with their hospitality and some other cultures don't. The other guests even had sauce spilt on them and didn't ask for a refund.

The forced fun on Jonny's team outing was cringeworthy, a bit like a school trip

highlight seeing Tommy (bosh) on AYF

Yeah, but when you search in vain for abilities, you have to fall back on something else.
