The Apprentice 2018 thread

That's bollocks. Official jumped the shark moment. Won't be watching next year.

My prediction was neither gets it. Am I watching the same people he has been?

Why is everyone going on about how terrible they are? Not seeing it at all, Sarah has been very solid throughout the show, has an existing business and a decent idea. It's super low risk and almost gtd to make money, chances of it kicking off and making him £20m are pretty slim but it's pretty much a shot to nothing, far worse places to put £250k.

James is a young city chancer who did very well on the corporate ladder and wants to have a crack at his own ladder - fairly reasonable chance he dusts the 250 and cant make it work, tiny chance he smashes it and builds a monster. For totally different reasons to Sarah once again way worse places to stick £250k, if you've got the roll for a gamble like this.

I think they are both pretty good, Sarah would have gotten funding from virtually any corporate lending facility and James would have found backing at some point in the few yrs with his charming/networking manner, everyones talking like neither of them could lace their shoelaces, don't get it.

I loved this, great TV, some massive donkery and some good stuff in there, if i has to be critical I'd say that the tasks were a little samey, more money making tasks where selling to actual people would be nice - would like to see some changes to the structure but can't wait for next year already. Think people take it all way too seriously and forget it's a bloody TV show!

What a load of nonsense in this thread! You all must be millionaire business gurus or if you're not, apply next year cos by the sounds of it Alan would jump across the boardroom table to invest in you lot!

Dave's right, both good investments for different reasons. Sarah made almost no mistakes all series and her business will pretty much always succeed. James is a punt but a sensible one and when you've got a billy you can take the variance.

And the double investment was great TV - unexpected, unprecedented and dramatic - what more could you want?!

And me and Dave chopped the first prize in our side bets - whoop!

So, James and Jade had an affair in the house then. Both split up with their partners straight away once they were finished with the process.

Guy got caught faking an industry accreditation on his website. Hard to imagine any corporation following in after that. Very shady guy, wouldn't touch him with a barge pole personally.

Sarah is pretty boring, if it wasn't for Sugs shes largely drawing dead on doing anything other than making a small amount of money. Remember all her competitors with exactly the same branding and packaging? No inspiration, her yellow dress during the presentation was the only bright thing about her.

Great tv and finish but its awfully boring during the last few weeks when we find out half the people left have no chance with their current business model.  Such a waste of time, and who knows whether there was an actual exciting business plan out there.

Budget Shark Tank which could be so much more.

It's surprising they glossed over what James did. They destroyed Baggs the Brand for a similarish thing - saying he was fully-licensed when be only had some licences. For that, the interviewer told him he had no ethics and Sugar gave him a proper kicking on the way out. Not very consistent.

Not just that but getting fired for poaching clients from his employer, joke that got overlooked. Then there was how he got walked all over by the girls every week in the tasks, even the final

It’s nearly time...

Glad she's gone.

Everytime she opened her mouth wide she looked like a spitting image mask.

Missed the first episode, so this was my first encounter with the class of 2018

My god, what a bunch of incompetents, although there were a few flying under the radar. Biggest LOL was the look on the face of one of the retailers - he seemed to be in shock about how bad both the products & pitches were.

Lord Sugs, hardly surprisingly, is showing barely any enthusiasm for the process.

Things can only get better.
