These aren't real people are they? Do Shamstrad grow them in a lab?

Shamstrad was 1.01 the reason for the firing.  He was a hero for just going on there and suggesting it.

Lewis should have gone, even if he was calm and disciplined in his head.

Standard stuff from both teams, and utterly predictable that both sales teams would over promise.

I thought Tom Allen was excellent as the new YF host.

On the boys side at least I didn't think they looked quite as useless as usual. Yeah they over promised to start with but I got the impression that was engineered by the shows premise of go and sell whilst at the same time the other team get information you need and then find out later in your one phone call of the day.

The tour team did s good job I thought. The edit was doing it's best to try and show them up at bits where they didn't know some facts but of course they don't and they handled that fact well.

Girls shambolic so obviously won. Would be nice to have this show have a concept of customer satisfaction. Yes the boys made less but they'll have got good reviews and repeat custom.

Would also be nice if the show acknowledged phones can browse the internet these days and are capable of making more than one call per day.

Anywho, nice to have it back.

They plumbed new depths in so many ways.

This week’s episode is the buying task which is always an Apprentice highlight. But someone needs to step up and make this properly interesting.

Indeed. Although the winning team actually sold more, and at a higher price.

Yeah but the flaw was highlighted when one of the women sold 20 bikes for 24k but tried to change it to 25 bikes for 25k, surely those extra 5 bikes cost more than 1k to make

Highlights how brain dead all the candidates are that they don't even know the rules they are playing to.   If they did they would surely have done this as profit was never discussed as a KPI in the brief.

Trying to work out what they're going to do is fun but almost impossible.

You could try and come up with the worst toy imaginable, but then it'll never be as bad as unicorns and slime.

All hope died in the moment when one of the teams didn’t know when WWII started.

Would have sacked the other two last night and kept Ryon.
