January 18, 20241 yr The last series was one of the worst, especially with the ongoing negative criticism (the interviews especially were almost nasty and personal). I hope they get a good balance, a decent cast and shake things up a little bit this time round!
January 23, 20241 yr Author https://www.bbc.co.uk/mediacentre/mediapack...dates-series-18 The contestants have been announced, including a member of Architechs (of 'Body Groove' fame)!
January 23, 20241 yr The last series was one of the worst, especially with the ongoing negative criticism (the interviews especially were almost nasty and personal). I hope they get a good balance, a decent cast and shake things up a little bit this time round! Completely agree! Last year was awful but I’m still going into this with blind faith it will be good
February 1, 20241 yr A day out in The Highlands, haggis, caber tossing, highland cows, irn bru, exit through the gift shop, what could possibly go wrong?
February 1, 20241 yr They’ve made fish cakes with rhubarb crumble and made brownies without flour and sugar, this is entertainment at its finest.
February 1, 20241 yr The boys have absolutely no right to look smug considering the food they served.
February 1, 20241 yr Oliver will probably go down as the least memorable contestant of all time! He did absolutely nothing and he was the first person out. Very embarrassing for the doctor to clap when he did, don't think he'll last long in this. Both teams were poor to be honest.
February 2, 20241 yr The cringe mistaken applause, a new meme is surely born :drama: Every year I don't know how these people can be so inept. Crumble on fish??? And that was the winning team! Which shows how awful the other team was. An entertaining first episode at least.
February 2, 20241 yr I've been roped into watching this for the first time ever this year. My takeaway so far: don't put crumble on a fishcake x
February 2, 20241 yr Fishcake gate is one of the most hilarious blunders. And to think that’s the winning team :lol: Edited February 2, 20241 yr by JLJ
February 2, 20241 yr THAT PREMATURE CLAP :lol: :lol: Didn't expect to get an iconic Apprentice moment in the first week!
February 2, 20241 yr Meh. Unpopular opinion but to me it's obvious that production are messing with it for the "comedic" aspect - the crumble/breadcrumb sitch felt manoeuvred and maybe switched around and a lot of times I feel like they're set up for failure for our amusement. I'd like it so much more if it played out naturally! :(
February 3, 20241 yr Meh. Unpopular opinion but to me it's obvious that production are messing with it for the "comedic" aspect - the crumble/breadcrumb sitch felt manoeuvred and maybe switched around and a lot of times I feel like they're set up for failure for our amusement. I'd like it so much more if it played out naturally! :( I totally agree with this, me and my husband were like "hmmmm, really?" The whole thing is a load of bullshit really, the whole having to prepare the food etc, like when has Alan Sugar EVER prepared food for an 'away day?' They make them do things that they would never have to do, and put them blind in situations, it's all a set up and it gets more and more obvious each year.
February 3, 20241 yr It's an entertainment show at the end of the day. :lol: But someone in an events business operating 'away days' should surely have in-depth knowledge of catering and hospitality (whether actually preparing food themselves or not), so it's not that much of a stretch? The production interference was blindingly obvious with that firing. Sure, Ollie wasn't interesting in the slightest but Virdi is clearly just being kept for the drama.
