It was classic Apprentice for me - I’m really looking forward to this week’s episode, which is not something i’ve said about any telly recently!

It is a pretty hilarious show. I am a massive fan. Any of you guys watching the celebrity US version? The final airs tonight or tomorrow with Piers Morgan vs Trace Adkins as the final two. It has been a great watch.

The thing I see with the UK version is that it does not seem to attract the same caliber of contestants the US one does. I want to see a show of genuinely brilliant business people battling it out.

Nicholas wearing those aviators was truly ridiculous. How can he be the apprentice when he has never had a job though.

I agree with David, “You’re Fired” is the best bit for me. I can’t believe Nicholas walked on wearing his aviators! What a plonker! I also liked Sir Alan’s eyebrow raising - classic!

I love the apprentice, although I’ll have to watch the second half tonight as I fell asleep!!!

Like you Kieron, I don’t think I’ll learn much from watching it, apart from being a nice person, not arrogant, aggressive etc are far better ways to get on in business! I can’t imagine anyone wanting to employ any of them tbh. All the same, good tv.

I had to laugh at the ‘Meet The Girls’ video. One of the girls says….

“I deal with men that grunt, groan, shout & moan everyday of the week”

….. I can guess what her previous job was!

But I must be wrong.

I actually use to work with Jennifer Maguire when I first left school, she was my Manager and I can say she can/did make a living out of selling a pieces of paper (promotions) for £50 to complete strangers and earnt extremely good money

I’m routiing for Jennifer at the moment, as shes the only person i’ve even know to appear on a programme

I thought it was totally brilliant, and was so glad that the silly schoolboy was fired at the end of it - perhaps he can go get another qualification now.

Next one I want off is Mr eyebrows on the other side of the team leader - pure arrogance in a bottle that one…

It’s going to be another must-watch series I reckon. The BBC2 show ‘You’re Fired’ is also worth a watch to pick up on the humorous side of the show. For instance, apparently fish have breasts.

Spot on review Kieron.
It will be a great show even if just for watching how far people go to impress ’sir’ alan & while not my biscuit fair play to them for trying it…
Being Irish, I was waiting for the Irish content to impress me but with that “best salesperson in Europe” comment even my 10 year old daughter gave up on her…
car crash tv at its best, but looks like it will be compulsive watching.
