    Will watch it, but tape it so will always be a day behind.

    Looking forward to my irrational hatred for people based on their clothes, choice of spectacles and voice.

    Just finished watching the first ep and You're Fired. Thought Sugar fired the one least responsible for the loss, not the most, lol. The source and purchasing task is always one of my favourites, esp when combined with the travel and pushing out of the comfort zone in Week 1.

    I think he just fired her based on his impression of her personality, more than anything else.

    Her lips offended me anyway. Quit modeling yourself on a duck and people will take you seriously.

    Which is a shame, to lose someone based on personality in Week 1. I could understand that if it was season 1, but this is season 14, or something and Sugar knows that this is a tv show, that there is plenty of time and opportunity to weed her out, so to lose a big personality in the first week is a loss, unless that was just the edit she got and others were toned down this first week to highlight why she got the chop.

    I know it is the cynic in me, and he has done this in the past, kept big bombastic 'characters' at least for a while, as there is a formula to these types of shows. Watch Gordon Ramsey do the same type of thing in Hells Kitchen for instance. Yes, Ramsey is 100% a douche nozzle, but he often will keep someone around because of the drama they create and there being literally no intention of them ever winning. Sugar has done the same in the Apprentice, and having watched other iterations of Apprentice (Ireland, Australia, and even suffered through a couple of seaosns of Trump... puke... Sugar is by far the best), and they have all done the same. That is the formula and for TV producers, the advantage, when 1 person is able to detrmine the outcome, fo who goes and ultimately, of who wins.

    “that’s what I’m talking about!!!” :56: * myself at that, what a *.

    Jackie should have gone. Sarah was a bit of a pain but brought more to the table than the other two.

    Must say though, fed up of the whole ‘northerner’ working class underdog thing she was gonna try and play on. Zzzzz

    I often wonder how much they get told to put it on, by the producers.

    Yep, they are so ridiculous it must be put on. Or maybe they are just egotistical *!! Either way it makes for good viewing!

    Used to love it but how you do in the tasks doesn't matter anymore. You could be * but if you've got a good business plan you'll make it through and vice versa. Like the other night, the 2 girls that survived deserved to go more than the one that got fired

    Can’t remember much about him from the first episode tbh. I’ll take your word for it though.

    Interesting challenge once again, and once again think as though the one who should have gone escaped, this time though by virtue of the fact that the one who probably should be held far more accountable for the loss didnt get brought back in by the PM. Wasted so much time on crafting those B shaped doughnuts slowed down production sooo much and then to only be able to sell 17 to the vendor. Seriously though, who they f*ck would pay £5 for a doughnut? Not even Krispy Kreme have the balls to try that con.

    The "nice" tasting doughnuts were the ones with a custard cream stuck on the top and ground tea as sprinkles. Looked like something an unimaginative preschooler would make.

    The prearranged clients are not serious buyers and only there to enhance the task and probably to manipulate the winners. What real vendor would pay £5 for one of those doughnuts? They would be retailing it for £12 with the kind of margins. these guys make. Having us believe that WH Smiths and online comic retailers would entertain trying the sell the rubbish that was produced last week is over the top. Do they think the viewers lack basic commons sense like their candidates.
