I can't believe that this is what the apprentice has become

[@jimross4574]

Simon O'Hagan surely you know this is cherry picked to purposefully make each candidate look like they aren't taking any of this seriously. Knowing these types of tv shows, the ditectors probably asked them to say or do something stupid.

[@Satire-yj9jq]

@@jimross4574 THEY COERCED THEM TO SAY SOMETHING STUPID! UGH! DO YOU NOT WATCH THE AUDITIONS?! THERE'S AN INVISIBLE MAN HOLDING THEM AT GUNPOINT!!!!!!!

[@jimross4574]

Satire4977273 I did not mean that literally. Maybe I should have been more specific for folk like you. The dirrectors probably told them to sing their favourite song or make a funny joke. They then cut that to make them look like they just randomly started singing and such.

Its a show that I have watched for years . Somehow I still watch it . I always try to think what would I do in that situation . Common sense is always out the window in most tasks but easy to say from here. Why would anyone in their right mind go on the show . That sugar bloke is a wolf ready to pounce on any sign of weakness , quite vicious in his critique ,which makes it so toe curling enjoyable . I would buy him a pint but never work for him.

[@caity1234]

The lads arent as fit as last year like james and ross 😏

[@pauljohnleadbeater5533]

The girls basically had the upper hand in S14. Best selection of female candidates since S9 where Dr Leah totton won.

[@pigeonlover9524]

Paul John they kind of had the upper hand from season 13-16 I mean Elizabeth, michaela and Joanna were very, very strong business women. With huge personalities obviously I liked elizibath and michaela a wee bit more, but although Joanna was argumentative she was kind, and won 8 out of 10 tasks. In season 14, we had Jackie who although may have been an absolute b*tch was a brilliant business person and deserved to get to the final five. The last women in the finals were pretty awful tbh and if I were lord sugar, I would have picked neither. I also adored Sabrina, she was fun, energetic and amazing. You can tell she would have been great, but just wasn’t the full packet. In season 15 we had thomas, the most charming man imaginable. Sweet, kind and an amazing negotiator. But we aren’t here to talk about the boys, although I have a couple stand out ones in my mind. We are here to talk about jemelin, Scarlett and Karina.. They were some of the best people he’s had in the final in ages (Scarlett and Karina) if scarletts advert had been better, she likely would have won. She was kind, professional and won loads. Karina was “the baker who couldn’t bake” I like how kind she seemed but was able to tell people off, unlike Sarah Lynn in 2017 who although I liked, michaela really should have been the winner, I’ll get to that later. Anyway Karina won 2017 but it was a very close call. The advert jemelin, Pamela and Ryan mark made was funny, quirky and outstanding! While the one lottie and her group made fell a little bit. I liked lottie she learned from her mistakes in every task. Which is more than I can say for many. Why I think michaela should have won “the apprentice season 13” I think we can all agree michaela was an amazing person, she lacked a bit of confidence but that process 100 percent changed her confidence and ability to pitch. This shows she’s a listener, and I really, really liked her in that way. She had a lot of money and definitely would have made lord sugar the most with a clic of a finger. I was honestly mortified to see her go. She obviously had ability and put every bit of enthusiasm she had in every task. She wasn’t the loudest person in the board room, but was an amazing strong, beautiful candidate throughout, and at-least deserved a v.i.p place in that final. The on,y downfall was she had like 300 businesses but that doesn’t change any of the points I just made, ( in my opinion). I loved that northern girl! Men that stood out through tout these series were 1. Thomas 2. Kayode And 3 kenna, I really liked these guys enthusiasm as work method.
