The Apprentice starts on Thursday

I can't stand the sight of the word "Apprentice" because it makes me think of Donald Trump.

Also Mark Burnett, the exec producer, who is a Jesus freak and proselytizes with his Touched By An Angel wife all over the place.
 
Alan Sugar hates Donald Trump. They used to get into twitter fights all the time, but Trump's probably too busy having twitter fights with more famous people this year.
 
I hope he awkwardly works in references to his movies every second he's on camera, like in his amazing appearance in the greatest video game of all time Lego City Undercover.



(Probably wasn't really his voice.)

It becomes even more of a parody of itself every year.

My favourite part was actually right at the beginning when they introduced Lord Sugar and had a shot of him surveying his vast empire, Lion King style, which appeared to be the entire capital city. I wonder if he ever feels embarrassed by that stuff.
 
Claude should have been holding him up to show him to all of London (like Lion King and also because Lord Sugar is short.)
 
So both teams "lost" and yet only one of the girls got fired? I can understand him not firing the angry guy with one eyebrow because he has comedy value, but why not fire the crappy male project manager?

Karren's really been working on her disgusted faces.
 
Yeah someone from both teams should have gone, and really it should have been the project managers of both because they were both so terrible.
 
I was relieved that Alana won because she always looks on the verge of a panic attack. Then again, Oliver almost literally died in the board room.
 
So the winning team head eight members and the losers only had six (because of French woman quitting.) Doesn't seem very fair on a sales task.
 
I went off this for years, but now have accepted the pantomime nature of it.

They really are scraping the barrel now though, we have two beauty salon owners now, I mean, not to be rude, but is it going to be PE teachers next?

Stand outs for me so far:
1. Dillon - He does that purse lip thing a lot which is always hilarious - in Week 9 he will smear himself with jam and ask Karthik to lick him clean.
2. Grainne - Not the sharpest tool in the box - she will stay till the end then put her HEART AND SOUL into something before losing
3. Karthik - Great value, especially when he asks people to JUST TRUST ME AND LEAVE ME ALONE with the video guy. In week 10 he will spontaneously combust but then rise again from the ashes before winking at the camera.
4. Paul Sullivan - Really wants to win this. In Week 7 he murders his mother and sells her as pastrami to Chelsea restaurants. He avoid being fired as it wasn't in the rules. Goes the following week because he assaulted Karen Brady with a spork (and we all cheered).
5. Sofianne - desperately unhappy, thinks this programme is his moment. In Week 8 he places a bear trap in the hallway of the house and Trishna steps in it. She did lose both legs but fortunately, as she is made entirely of cardboard they replaced her legs with some old boxes. No one noticed.
6. Rebecca - Thinks the world is against her, yet bizarrely also thinks it owes her something. In Week 10 she admits she is a shape shifter and needs to RETURN TO THE LAKE. Karthik is particularly upset as he realises she could just have turned into a big bloody pile of cash at any point. everyone else thinks she is insane. She leaves mid week via a radiator grill.
 
It disappointed my liberal sensibilities a bit that the two non-white guys are both a bit sexist. But maybe the white guys are sexist too and they just haven't shown it yet.
 
TEAM FRANCES. All those times she was on the losing team she was just getting WARMED UP.

I liked when Karthik was threatening to get naked.
