May 14, 201015 yr Gonna be reviewing the series - my first as TV Editor for Teen Today :D http://www.teentoday.co.uk/article/junior-...dans-fired-000/ Go easy on the criticism :P Brilliant review! He really was a c**t sack.
May 14, 201015 yr Author Brilliant review! He really was a c**t sack. Thank you :D I really had to be careful what I said about him. That was hard. :P
May 14, 201015 yr Really loved the first episode. So glad what's his face left, don't think I could've lasted any longer listening to his awful voice. :puke: My favourites are Tim and Zoe at the moment. :D
May 14, 201015 yr Good review Ryan! Unfortunatley, the ratings were not so good.. The new version of The Apprentice for young entrepreneurs opened on Wednesday to disappointing viewing figures for BBC One. Only 4.03m (16.2%) tuned in to watch 16-year-old Jordan De Courcy become the first candidate to be fired on Junior Apprentice in the 9pm hour on BBC One. The show's opening ratings were well down on last year's adult version of The Apprentice and also lower than the peak audience gained by BBC Two spinoff show The Apprentice - You're Fired. Junior Apprentice further failed to eclipse the 4.28m (18.5%) pulled in by Waterloo Road for BBC One in the 8pm hour, or the 4.98m (20.7%) that Midsomer Murders averaged for ITV1 from 8pm to 10pm.
May 14, 201015 yr I should think it did 'fail to eclipse' the figures for Waterloo Road, given that the latter wasn't even ON. It was Holby City in the 8pm hour! I'm not surprised though, ratings were low all-round. Normally Holby would get more than a million more than that. I expect this'll average out at about 5m over the next few weeks, which is decent. Great review Ryan! Congrats on getting the Teen Today gig too.
May 14, 201015 yr Author Cheers guys, feedback really appreciated - especially when positive :D Hopefully when the football isn't on, clashing with it next week, ratings will pick up a bit.
May 15, 201015 yr Good review Ryan! Unfortunatley, the ratings were not so good.. I was never expecting the ratings to be as good as the normal show and especially for this first episode, football was on and earned Five about 2 million more viewers than it would usually, the moving of shows on earlier would have made some confusion, the fact that this series hasn't had the publicity the main series has and the fact most casual viewers of the main show would have been turned off due to it being Junior, many people I know didn't watch it because they thought it would be like a kids TV program when in fact it's just like the main show in terms of how the contestants interact with each other.
May 15, 201015 yr :lol: As naff as the adult candidates :lol: I mean seriously, couldn't make snack boxes because it was windy. That's like me saying I can;t use a till because the air con blows the till roll away. Glad to see Jordan went, right person really, and he got on my nerves anyway :lol:
May 16, 201015 yr "Wind Is My Least favourite Weather Type" :rofl: Can't believe Jordan was from ireland :drama:, First jedward and now him. have too say Reece is incredibly hard to stomach as well, him to go next
May 19, 201015 yr Author Just reviewed tonights ep - sadly they cut the firing off but I think I can work it out based on the 'next time' trail lol. Not really a spoiler but some might think of it as one so... ;) Not sure how I feel if I'm right, I do think it will be the right decision but I'll be disappointed that this person goes as I expected more.
May 19, 201015 yr Author You get advanced screeners? Yup! Do with normal Apprentice too - they always cut the final few mins which means I've gotta watch again :lol:
May 19, 201015 yr Oh you lucky git! How did you manage that? You have the Katie series of the apprentice?
May 19, 201015 yr Author Joy of being a reviewer lol. Finally managed to get Doctor Who previews sorted which made me very excited! Only started getting them two series ago!
May 19, 201015 yr Just read your review of last weeks Ryan - very good! I always think that the Apprentice makes London look very classy :lol:
May 19, 201015 yr Author ^ Cheers :) Ok I called that firing wrong :o Wasn't who I expected lol. Think Sugar sees a bit of himself in Adam. He's very lucky to have survived that, he was a disasterous project manager this week.
