Is anyone watching or a fan of The Apprentice?

It started last night and wasn't long before the women showed their true colours all bickering together. Not sure anyone of them will win as my money is on one of the men this year.

I used to watch it but Alan sugars dismissive of contestants got too predictable
I knew it followed a formula but I found it nasty at times

I gave up watching tbh

Me too, Shirley.

In all these years, nobody has told AS that it's "regrettable" when he has to fire someone - not "regretful".

All those screeching, bickering women and posturing immature "men" - what dreadful role models for any young people who might be watching.
(ie - children or teenagers, nowadays referred to as "young people" for some politically correct reason)

And why send them to squabble in Antigua? They could do it just as noisily, and with less damage to the planet, somewhere in Britain.

Watched the first few series but gave up when it was all about nastiness. Most of them are only in it because they want a career in front of the camera for zero work or talent. It's a shame because it was an interesting programme but like all others of it's ilk it about who can be the nastiest - including those who comment on social media.

I'm sure the contestants are encouraged to be unpleasant - it's all about ratings.

I also gave up watching it, but do try and catch the episode where they have those interviews. Love it when they are totally caught out.

Have these people never watched the programme or are they so thick they won’t be found out?

I really do wonder about some of them, they are pretty clueless and have no common sense. Running around in 4 inch high heels, im surprised none have fallen and broken their ankles yet :-D

I love Claude, he doesnt miss a trick.

I've watched it a couple of times in the past but, as others have said, don't find a bunch of clueless, self-opinionated narcissists prancing around very entertaining! :-(
