The Apprentice 2012
On now on BBC1. Well this years set of "entrepreneurial" muppets are out to make complete idiots of themselves (Probably because they couldn't get on Dragon's Den!) and they've pulled every cliché out of the book.
Such compulsive viewing.

Watching it now, I agree they are muppets but it's still entertaining.

It's pretty poor, but at least it provides some laughs. Was interesting to see the self-professed alfa male shying away from being team leader.

The format seems to be:-
Get a task.
Discuss the task ad nauseum.
Carry out the task poorly.
Sit in front of Ol' Tate n Lyle working to the mantra 'the best form of defence is attack', big yourselves up and generally create cringeworthy viewing.
Someone goes.
Rinse and repeat.
Utter dogsh1t.

I wouldn't want to listen to her for too long, though. In fact, she needs to shut the fùck up.

She can't half rabbit. Unattractive trait, over-communicating.

If only she'd shut her cake hole she'd still be in the game. Oh well one last chance to see her on Beeb2 next.

If ever there was a lesson in learning to keep ones mouth shut.
Whats with the girl with the heavy eye make up? Looks a bit like a tranny.

Formulaic, contrived and now lacking any novelty factor. Participants are drones who you'd just as soon slap than look at. The show now has neither any relevance or entertainment factor. All IMHO!

Nope, I think it's 'had enough of crappy tv' syndrome.

I forgot this was on, but looking at the Candidates and the fact I cannot stand Sugar, I think I will give it a miss

I totally agree with you. This first episode was very dull indeed. Not worth watching unless the drones start headbutting one another pretty sharp-ish. IMO they should bring in that Stuart bloke in again. He may not be a looker or the next generation Alan Sugar, but at least the bloke had some kick about him due to his childish attitude.

Anyone watching tonight? Oh my god... the girls' pitch to Amazon with the margins. Has to be the most cringey thing on tv in a while!
