The Apprentice.........

I now must concur, they are all nobs.

Normally I enjoy the apprentice, however it seems that in this series it has gone down hill completely. The contestants are constantly bickering with each other, stupid choices are being made and everything is blaming it on someone else... at least there are some rather funny remarks, especially on the men's boy's team.

This is a bad thing?

Not at all, makes it entertaining

can't stand that program. It is utter rubbish with people full of themselves, willing to do anything to get to the top. Also Alan Sugar is just full of his own ego and not a good representative of the human race.

out of interest; how is the programme funded? It's 250k of Lorchugger's own money but what's his fee? Do they pay him, say, a million appearance money and the 250k comes from that?

Spectacularly inept!

I liked; "We've got a bottle, but it's empty. You could smell it."

Having seen this years bunch I think "You're Fired" ought to be replaced by "You're going to be burned at the stake".

A sample of the people humanity would be better off without.

Love the programme, but I think it is starting to get a little stale.
Sadly I come across a few arrogant people in my day job who act just like the contestants and some are even quite successful ( personally, rather than because they are good at their job). In some cases their managers have even been responsible for this, as the path of least resistance is to encourage them to take a new role with promotion, rather than provide some firm guidance.
More encouragingly, I suspect that cleverer managers elsewhere are saying to their bad apples "you should go on the Apprentice, you'd storm it" ..... problem solved

Quite a long way beyond it in my experience
