The Apprentice 2022

Re last last week, I was sorry to see Alex go. He did seem a bit clueless at times but he seemed like a really nice guy, not that nice guy cut's it. And I'm going to miss looking at this perfect hairstyle lol

Last week, I was sorry to see Francesca go to. She did make a mistake with the spelling, but I though she was a possible winner.

That's two episodes I've binged watched to get up to date. Think I'll give tonight's one a miss.

Ah I know but he flip flopped on who was going to do the pitches and on the initial idea, they definitely picked out the bits that made him look bad but he was played.

that said they did okay in the end, the other team were all over the place. Changing your mind on who to bring in is a mugs thing to do.

Sophie sealed her fate by bring Akshay back in to the boardroom, it was clearly a personal gripe against him and he did reasonably well in the task.

To be fair to the one who was fired, she had to give the design team a brief on how she wanted the car to be designed bef met the corporate clients where she was told that they wanted a different design, the design team had already done their work by then

It's all a bit ridiculous really 

Don't think there was ever a week I wanted a team and particularly that teams PM to lose more. Sophie is a bloody idiot, she completely ignored Akshay who had actual knowledge of cars and ended up designing something you would see around Temple Bar of a Saturday night and didn't follow the brief at all.

I dunno why but there's something quite likeable about Akshay. He's useless but endearing. 

Hakeem and Catherine come across quite well too, Harpreet is a thundering **** though 

I've watched every season except for the first one and this has been by far the worst. Virtually every task has been the same (due to Covid restrictions obviously). It's so boring watching them repeatedly haggle over fake money with people who are obviously in on the show. It really reminds me of the Irish Apprentice where every task was to make an advertising campaign for whoever the sponsor was that week. Hopefully it'll be back to normal next year because this is incredibly dull.

Claude is sorely missed too. Tim isn't very interesting at all in comparison.

Really looks like Sugar has a soft spot for Akeem - must like the business plan etc.

The level of product placement / advertising this year is ridiculous. I love the task where they get a list of 5 or so random/obscure items and have to secure at the best price; they are not allowed to google etc. they haven't done it this year and probably cause there is no element of sponsorship etc.

The fellas this year are absolutely clueless, so bad it's actually quite funny, was like watching dumb and dumber trying to put together the food. Having said that the women seem very clicky and have tried to target the lads from the start.

Agree that the tasks have been very samey due to Covid but am liking the series as they've been to some great venues.

Where is Claude?

They are all useless. Literally every single one of them.

RE Claude, he had a cycling accident, the new guy hasn't made much of an impression I must admit.

Tim isn't bad, he was very good in peep show

It is one of the worst shows for plot holes going. I still enjoy it but it's really lost its edge and relevance more and more each year.

Worst of all, all these menial, pointless, hypothetical go-for tasks to show how good....a business partner you are on something totally unrelated.

A brilliant business pitch with potential for millions could hypothetically fall by the wayside because.... you're crap at designing a video game.
