Heart-Shaped Fox Posted 15 March 2012 Posted 15 March 2012 I'll watch it as usual. Decent watch normally, though the people on there are usually most cringeworthy
dave the caveman Posted 15 March 2012 Posted 15 March 2012 I don't know what I like more about the apprentice, the actual show or the aftermath when all the retards chime in about how useless the candidates are and how they could do so much better even though their opinions on tasks and performances are totally and completely guided by the not so subtle production of the show. There's a fat woman who writes a blog about it in the Guardian who sums this up perfectly. The show hints that something was done incorrectly, fat woman is up in arms about how stupid they all are. It's quite funny once you notice it. Most people wouldn't last two minutes in there and probably do nothing like what they have to do in real life, but suddenly they are experts. Anyway I hope they've improved it since last year when the tasks didn't match the prize. It was pretty stupid that the 'product guy' won purely because he was a product guy. It made the whole thing a waste of time.
UpTheLeagueFox Posted 15 March 2012 Posted 15 March 2012 I tend to watch the last 20 minutes when they go in the boardroom and then the after show. Saves me a good 40 minutes of my life.
HEGGSY Posted 15 March 2012 Posted 15 March 2012 I usually watch it, but year after year its full of tedious twats, who are all talk.

The Year Of The Fox Posted 15 March 2012 Posted 15 March 2012 I usually watch it, but year after year its full of tedious twats, who are all talk. Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon

Matt Posted 16 March 2012 Author Posted 16 March 2012 People talk about the tedious twats...erm that's exactly the reason I watch it, for these 'highly qualified', 'bright', 'a-star students' making fools of themselves. In those situations I doubt i'd do much better but one thing I would use? Common-sense, and no amount of qualifications, being bright or however many a-stars you get can teach you that.

My comment was tongue in cheek. As Ozwin and you have said, people watch it because of the contestants being absolute idiots and making fools of themselves. I totally agree.
Guest Posted 16 March 2012 Posted 16 March 2012 The cliches are already out... "I truly am the reflection of perfection"
Saxondale Posted 16 March 2012 Posted 16 March 2012 I take it Hewer's still on it? You can't have the show without his expressions of mock incredulity. Don't forget, the selection process for the show will be conducted by TV producers, whose first priority is to make good television - not to find Lord Sir Alan of Sugar his next gimp. Hence the abundance of loudmouthed buffoons as well as, to be fair, reasonably competent people adopting the persona of a loudmouthed buffoon in order to 'get on' in the show.
Jackirius Posted 16 March 2012 Posted 16 March 2012 'Try and describe yourself without using any cliches.' 'Well, i'm what it says on the tin.' Great stuff, quite like the apprentice, something a bit different.
StanSP Posted 16 March 2012 Posted 16 March 2012 If any of you could go on the Apprentice, what would your cliché/catchphrase/big ball of cheese be?
Hollism Posted 16 March 2012 Posted 16 March 2012 "I'm a big fish in a small pond-" "NO! You're not a big fish. You're not even a fish!" Brilliant.
Captain... Posted 16 March 2012 Posted 16 March 2012 The cliches are already out... "I truly am the reflection of perfection" I prefer: Michael Copp, 31, is the managing director of a kitchen and bedroom furniture retailer. Says: "I'm better than unique; I'm naturally gifted in business" What does that actually mean? Unique is not a sign of quality, I just left something pretty unique in the toilet, a true one off, never to be repeated (hopefully), doesn't mean it's any good.

I reckon candidates are chosen for their cliches. If you haven't got a strap line, you're filtered out immediately.
Zingari Posted 16 March 2012 Posted 16 March 2012 i'd keep saying "gizza job, go on gizzit " as my catch phrase

Stay Positive Posted 16 March 2012 Posted 16 March 2012 Apparently in one episode this year, they are challenged to run a strip club, and are bewildered to find Margaret pole dancing at the club.
Corky Posted 16 March 2012 Posted 16 March 2012 If any of you could go on the Apprentice, what would your cliché/catchphrase/big ball of cheese be? It's a game of two halves Sir Alan. I tend to be stronger in the second half where it really counts.
