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.
Some might say Dean is the most likely to get Lord Srullan’s investment.

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
It's odd that they keep going for "high-end" when they have absolutely no knowledge of what they're doing, do they get told what level they should aim for? I've never made posh food so there's no way I'm going to say "I'll give it a go and hope it's good enough" as it will set the expectations way too high.
If they've ever seen the show before they should know the way to win the corporate hospitality task is to ply them with booze, it works every time.

One of my local theatre group is a recruitment boff in the City. For the work I do for the group he's just proposed me a pay rise - from biscuits to cake!

I think you should negotiate and push for a caterpillar cake.

I hope they're keeping Frederick for the interview round then dropping him. He's done nothing so far and had it in for Jonny last week. The motivational staring exercise so was cringey! No one liked it!

I know that Jonny should have stepped up and wasn't perfect, but he was better an a lot of them who are still in it.

He could be. I quite like him. He's one of the most normal ones on there!

Rubbish task, basically design a moneybox and a financial theme for the app as they don't code it themselves.

Well that’s never happened before!!!

A team that looks crap all the way through the show manages to surprise everyone by winning!

I'm sure Liam is the secret lovechild of Phil Tufnell.

The resemblance is uncanny.

Is the guy that quit the one that had to leave because of a bigoted comment? I’m sure I saw his pic related to that.
Yes but they are saying his resignation was unrelated, hmmm
In the newspaper this morning they said he left because of a comment by LS that he took offence to. LS is supposed to have said "you've been quiet"

The chap was useless anyway.
Friday 14th March after Frederick and Keir's firing.

One? Surely all of the rest wink

TBH the failure of that task was the sub team leader for not listening to his team mates.

I think the other one he's referring to is the current Prime Minister.

I told him coffee and walnut, and not a penny less.

Going back to The Apprentice, why did one team chose a bloke to pitch who can barely talk English and can't remember three sentences?

But it had to be the biggest win ever, £450K vs fk all!
