As entertaining as this nonsense has become, I think they have to rethink the whole format. Their business ideas are all shit. Their plans are shit. They should do a Dragons Den Mashup to select some people with decent ideas/skills for the starting lineup. All the making stuff tasks have made it like The Generation Game. It's just become another celeb TV breakthrough route. I see the Wallace and Grommet one almost got on Love Island. Alan is just paying £250k a year to keep his face/name in the public eye. Probably not a bad investment for the publicity. Karen probably chips in for the same reason. Pretty sure the contestants are obligated to use Alan's services (bookkeeping, legal, marketing, etc) so they basically end up paying him back until the money runs out. So it came down to two incredible business ideas this year. A boxing gym and a hairdressers.

That and he will have earned a massive appearance fee for going on the show so he gains money even if they are completely shit and fail. The investment is a quarter of a days earnings for him and stands to make a lot more if they do well.

Still waiting on some miracle invention from that geek who came up with the curved nail clippers.

As soon as it came up in the interviews that Marnie had the Sports England funding in place it was game over. No way was Sugar walking away from anyone with that on the table

I did think right at the start having an Olympic gold medalist in the fray was an unfair advantage. Her influence was probably worth more than the others put together.
As I say, this year felt particularly choreographed. Even the interviews felt premeditated.

This must surely have just about run it's time. There's usually a puff piece on the bbc news site saying a bit about all the wet wipes taking part, but i haven't spotted that this year.
I have only seen a few brief trailers for it too.

Mistaking crumble for breadcrumbs…
I can’t do it this year. I can’t. I thought I might be able to do it because there’s nothing else on but I just can’t.

Yeah, it does seem a bit same schtick different people.
Although crumble on a fish cake instead of breadcrumbs is an original cockup.
As is leaving the flour out of a brownie.
How do these people manage to stay alive in the real world?

The breaking point for me was the guy asking what “tbsp” meant. There’s being dippy or panicked, and then there’s just being wilfully ignorant.

To be fair, the double cream on the crumble was locally sourced...... from Tesco t'was a consecutive decision.

I'll watch The Apprentice again when it adopts the murdering aspect from The Traitors but actually did it to some of the fuckwits on the show.

Flo’s negotiating might be the only piece of competent businessing anyone has shown in the last ten years of this show

I don't get why the "industry leaders" decide to go on the show. Watch a pitch for an non-existent product made by a team of novices in an impossible timescale and make an imaginary purchase. Haven't they got better things to do with their time?

That episode really made me laugh. It's like none of the contestants have spoken out loud before. Holy shit.

I've noticed all the blokes have beards. Is this a new business requirement?
