I personally think it's great but blogger Adam McCulloch reckons we should all be feeling very guilty for watching it!

come on this is the telly equivalent of superglue - once you start watching it you won't get away. I think it is self-righteous bollocks to be sniffy about sralan in a holier-than-thou type way. This irks me just as much as people who whinge on about Big Brother being about "exploitation" -  get off your high horse -  it's just telly! I personally can't wait to see what the old growler has in store for another lot of hapless wannabes....all of whom usually have such giant egos it would take a lot, and I mean A LOT for them to be reduced to jelly in his presence. I would certainly like to give old sugababe a run for his money! also, he puts all the bosses you thought were awful in the shade...! Anyone ever had a boss like sralan? I've had one that came close...

yeah, love it. Really like the tasks they have to do. I wouldn't fancy it myself but I'm always impressed by the energy and effort the contestants bring to it. Can't wait. Actually the first one is often the best because the person who gets fired hasn't had the slightest chance... which is really quite funny!

I like the contrast between the contestants opinions of themselves and their actual abilities - priceless!

The Apprentice is a stupid programme that represents the ultimate dumbing down of society and the individuals who watch it

I love it, love it, love it.

 

I love stuff likes this on tv because i can just unwind and not have to think about anything.  We all need a certain amount of trash in our lives especially with our jobs!!

 

 

wilis, don't watch it if you feel so strongly about it - in the words of Why Don't You -- switch off your television set and go and do something less boring instead!

I totally agree sw after a stressful day at work, I don't want to go home and watch soemthing else stressful! A glass of wine over a good bit of trashy tv sounds good to me!

Yep. i'll definately be tuning in.  Nothing like watching those less fortunate than yourself getting it wrong LOL

Did anyone else notice it was the 3 guys with the dodgiest haircuts that ended up back in the boardroom?

I felt quite sorry for Alex - I'm sure I wouldn't have fared any better with so many egos and deadweights in my team. Raef is priceless - “The spoken word is my tool.” Well he got the "tool" bit right anyway.

How none of them picked up on the fact that lobsters were flying off their stall because they'd incorrectly priced them at £5 sooner was quite amusing.

 Raef is definitely going to be the star of the show, although the woman in brightly-coloured clothes and red beret looks like she might be good value as well.

I thought her beret was pink. Should I readjust my set? Enjoyed the show massively. That blogger of yours is such a killjoy.

this year's producers seem to have had a penchant for picking people with ridiculous names to suit their obviously ridiculous ambitions -- michael sophocles (like a whiny steel-arsed bambi in last night's boardroom spat) alex wotherspoon (just to distinguish himself from that commoner's pub) Raef Bjayou (silly name, ego you would not believe) not forgetting the first out the door Lord Snooty himself (albeit with one GSCE with a b grade in his entire life) Nicholas de Lacey Brown --- that well-known barrister and "artist" - please someone make him go and live on a council estate for the next 2634562347657824658234890 years so he can get the proverbial kicked out of him. And what was that stupid smudge of bumfluff on his chin? Art with a capital F?!
