I've completely gone off the apprentice, havn't even bothered to watch a single episode of this series, just a bunch of people in suits showing off, shouting at each other and then bitching behind each others backs ......

What is going on with that guy's beard ? And that James ? Christ the man cant stop talking pure 5hite !

The show has lost its purpose, like many repeat contests. Entrants know its a stepping stone to becoming famous. Infact the runners up earn more money than the winners !

I tend to down load the American `The Apprentice` with Donald Trump. Now that man has class and those people go through some big money tasks.

Everytime I see `Sir` Alan, I expect him to do a Sid James laugh and slap Margart on the **** !

Yup, agreed.
The last series was going this way but got away with it - just.

New series has crossed the fine line and now into Big Bro territory, maybe that is what they want, wider and larger audience maybe?

It is a shame, i enjoyed some of the other series/episodes...sadly have now given up on it.

I can't see how Sugar would benefit from employing any of them. It must be purely for entertainment purposes.

They also continually film Canary Wharf yet his offices are in Barking (I think) and look ****e.

Just a giant ego trip for him.

Only ones on it worth anything (in terms of advice) are his business associates who do the final judging. They seem to be the only ones that see through all/most of the total BS.

I used to enjoy this programme, for all I can't stand Alan Sugar.
The crowd they have this time round are the biggest bunch of two facers I have ever had the misfortune to see. I can honestly say, I do not like any of them.
So why watch, I hear you say. No idea

I think many of you have missed the point.

This is an entertainment programme.

This is for Siralans ego.

This is filled by ego-centric wannabees.

This has always been true.

The only real 'fails' are those who think this is a proper business programme!

I enjoyed watching the first series of The Apprentice, because afterwards there was that show on about that 'odd' couple who ran a double glazing business which was very amusing

Funniest part was where AS was slagging off the home gym / box thing - saying it looks cheap, and just like a black box - erm... anyone remember those really cheap tatty looking black box midi systems Amstrad sold all through the 80's ???

The woman with the horse face was funny when she was trying to pretend she was insulted about the others being racist though, particularly when the people telling her about the idea were an Iranian and a black woman.

correct, his office is in Brentwood (the same building that people exited when fired in the previous seasons),

the "boardroom" is a set, the secretary is an actress

his office's is Brentwood are circa 1982 inside (i,ve been many times)

the new building they exit from is Viglen's HQ in Radlett (leased not owned) its also where the interviews take place -- but actually nice offices

and that company is for sale anyway

and he basically is a property developer

I don't watch it anymore because its become a victim of its own success. Now the contestants are constantly appearing in the tabloids, it may as well be called "Business Big Brother". Its utter bull**** and features contrived, painful cartoon characters of incredible proportions.

Its utter tripe and has been engineered in the hope of capturing an even bigger brain dead audience.

I flicked betwixt Grand Designs and this rubbish (one more try i thought) - the show is clearly about ratings and not about ability or right and wrong. It is so called entertainment and the git (slimy little ar$ewipe who stayed) is better for keeping its new target audience of brain deads, most not likely to have or had a job.

Another good show which has become dumbed down to a similar level to Big Brother and all about getting to the wider and dumber BB audience. Shame! Less decent shows for anyone with a brain and independent thought and prepared to use them.
