Turning more and more farcical. Hope this series redeems itself a bit.

 

They've let some proper ****ing idiots on in recent years.

[Izzy]

It's been done to death now and past it's sell by date - like many reality TV shows.

Novel when it begun but a bit tedious now.

Time to bin it for me..

[RoboFox]

 

Lottie Lion? 

 

Come on... They're just making people up now.

 

She even looks like CGI.

I say this every year but I still tune in - it'd be nice if they could strike a balance between people with no common sense and some genuinely strong contenders, though.

I do however, feel a bit sorry for them on it sometimes. They're often tasked with doing things they don't make a living from in a timeframe shorter than people would outside of TV.

Naming a product, coming up with a marketing campaign and a brand (for example) isn't a task that can be completed over four days or so yet that's the sort of thing they're given to work with.

Did they capture this guy from Area 51.

[Strokes]

The missus watches a fair bit of reality tv crap like this. This and masterchef are about the only ones I can stomach. So I’ll not slag it off.

Definitely a fart that became a shart as the camera clicked.

Definitely in the 'slappable face' category.

Just watched his audition tape, that's 52 seconds that I won't get back.

 

A camp luxury knob is how I'll describe him.

I don't even have to hear him speak to know that he's a bellend.

[Benguin]

I always say it goes down hill every year etc but it is one of two programmes I actually watch on tv when it comes out outside of Netflix and now tv, the other being match of the day. 

 

I just love the cringe

They can be ridiculously stupid at times though and really don't help themselves

You can leave.

[Mark 'expert' Lawrenson]

Always look forward to this, yes the candidates on the whole are pretty appalling now always coming out with the typical tired old cliches but something keeps me watching.

I'm seeing an odd mix of Ben Chilwell and Son Heung Min. 

[Mark 'expert' Lawrenson]

Reminds me of one of one of my favourite  put downs in the series.

Claude interviewing the late Stuart Baggs

Baggs claimed he was a “big fish in a small pond” only for Claude to reply “you’re not a big fish, you’re not even a fish” 🤣 love it

Isn’t that the bird off Corrie?! 

 

More investment for somebody who wants to start a recruitment company at the end of the 12 weeks then, as usual, excellent, just what the market needs, more recruitment businesses.

Didn't last year's winner sell swimwear? And the series before that was a tie between recruitment and flogging sweets, year before that someone who baked stuff, before that, a plumbing business. 

 

Hardly par for the course a recruitment company wins it

[ScouseFox]

yeah remember sexy sian off of the leeds and her sexy swimsuits

I mean I wasn’t expecting that to be taken literally, it was fairly tongue in cheek. But there’s quite a history between the apprentice and the recruitment industry - Ellie Kay who was on the show, James White who won, I’m fairly certain the Aussie bloke who won did something sort of staffing related too - more often than not there’s a recruiter on the programme. 

 

Im in the industry myself I’m not just an Apprentice Anorak.
