This year I might not watch it and then contribute heavily on each weeks Apprentice thread anyway to explain in an overbearing manner why I'm not watching it. Just to be cool like.

He's not even a real Hamster, the races aren't real.

Shit! Wrong show.

You could adopt this tactic for the next series of topgear.

Let the bullshit bingo commence.

If I was standing there in a queue for coffee while they argued about who was project managing and who was making coffee...

I'd have made the bloody thing myself.

Yes probably, of their own imagination, their employers probably let out a sigh of relief when they handed their notice in.

I suffered the misfortune of viewing the first 30 mins whilst round at my neighbours, bunch of self aggrandising ****ers who deserve to be put to real/actual work, preferebly something manual and actually worthwhile such as a builders labourer or a gopher for a machine/engineering shop. I'd estimate they'd last a couple of hours at most before they'd get a well deserved hiding.

Correct Alan Sugar is, in fact a gerbil.

Loved it.

They all look very young, stupid and scared.
Apart from the tall blond one who looks like a lizard in a human suit.

That Canadian social worker missed a trick. Alan Sugar asking if his work in the arctic was counseling penguins, when by the time a kid leaves primary school they know there are no penguins in the arctic. I'd have pulled him up on that.

Maybe but when people say "they wouldn't last 5 mins in the real world" they seem to forget that they already are. There's a mix of people on there that's for the entertainment factor and those that genuinely want a £250k backing. I also can't help but think those that come out with that line work in the post room.

Watched it, but can't say I enjoyed it. Its not even £250k anymore, its £250k with Lord Smuger having a 50% stake, plus the dismal situation of having the grumpy old git as a mentor!

Also what about that bird with the stuck up nose, didn't she look like the Grinch?

Loved the bit where the guys were running to the printers then realised they'd forgotten the T-Shirts! Then they all ran back to get them - just send one of you!

I know it's edited well but it's still funny.

And what happened to the last winner - is she still in business?

In the real world, whenever I've f***ed up I've always found that the best thing to do is apologise, minimise the damage, and ensure that you learn from it and don't make the same F'up again.

I just wonder what the result would be if one of them adopted this policy in the 'board' room. I suspect everyone else would lose the power of speech and Sralan would implode at the lack of anything to get really angry about.

I'd also like someone to have a go at Nick about his crap jokes on countround.

Had to leave the room twice whilst that was on. Hideous. Are they forced t stick together in the two groups cos surely you'd just split the task in to pairs. Like why were five of the plonkers buing cheese slices? And what did the male team even do with the coffee? And how is selling more coffee than your team can make 'project managing the entire task?'. And why did they count sales and not profit?

O/T Every year, why do the inmates (especially the female ones) sound as though they're referring to our hero, the grumpy-bollock-in-a-suit as "Sarah Alan"?

USed to like it but I must admit the last few series have been routine, all the contestants are stereotypes.

Often feel like saying 'In your opinion' after one of Sugar/Brady/Hewer's comments

Stephen looks like he might be good value. Every year I do marvel at how stupid some of the candidates are, but it seems we have a bumper crop this year. Still, it gives Dara plenty of ammo.

Oh, quite wrong actually, did you actually watch it ?

A task that involves going to buy something and they do the following happens

A. The PM doesn't give them any money
B. The team set off without any money

And you are telling me these people have a job that involves making decisions and thinking, I doubt it

The best bit is the one who went with no money is an accountant. You couldn't write a sitcom this unbelievable and get it aired, but get the egotistical public and it's comedy genius.

Why did they not just get the #London t-shirts straight down to the embankment and make a killing amongst the tourists.

I have to admit to looking forward to seeing this when I get home. View it as nothing more than light entertainment and its fine!

If you've never seen this (and you have seen the Apprentice!) you should - never fails to make me smile. YMMV depending how grumpy you are!
