Series 13 Episode 1 of 14
The search for Lord Sugar's next business partner begins, and this year the challenges are bigger than ever. Lord Sugar has already invested his money in six businesses, and he is ready to gamble once more on a new venture. The hopeful candidates will be whittled down over the next 12 weeks until only one remains. To demonstrate just how much is at stake, Lord Sugar summons the aspiring entrepreneurs to his boardroom, where he has a big surprise for them.

Under the scrutiny of Karren Brady and Claude Littner, the candidates are put to the test with their first task, rising before dawn to manufacture burgers. The teams have just one day to turn their meaty burgers into a healthy profit by selling them to hungry Londoners. Chaos in the kitchen throws one team into disarray as they struggle to make the burger mix, while the other team waste precious time overanalysing the labelling.

Trying to maximise sales, each team set up stalls to sell cooked burgers, but personality clashes and a poor choice of selling location threaten to derail the sales. With time running out, both teams push packaged burgers to the public and trade, but while one team keeps prices high, for the other team it is a fire sale.

In the boardroom, temperatures rise as the candidates face Lord Sugar for the first time and someone becomes the first to be fired.

Those two women in the glasses are cracking me up already.

What the devil is unnatural chicken then?

ic1male · 4 Oct 2017 at 21:42

I think this is going to be a good series. There are plenty of arguments already.

IM GUESSing the robot is now called Jeffrii Siimon.

ic1male · 18 Oct 2017 at 21:27

Meanwhile she’s lying on the floor with a broken hip after trying the chair yoga move.

Elliott is not gobby enough. He’ll get the boot, I expect.

ic1male · 18 Oct 2017 at 22:03

BUT she makes good TV.

That girl with the Amstrad should have used her nouse and waited for the other team to arrive and then start a bidding war between the two.

And if I’d’ve been that man who had to leave his tea and drive half way across London for the other party not to show, I’d be out for blood.

I feel ripped off just watching their tours.

I know right! I want my TV licence fee back.

Elizabeth is getting on my nerves now. I hope she goes tonight.

ic1male · 8 Nov 2017 at 21:35

Yeah both teams have to make a loss tonight surely. Refunds a go go.

ic1male · 8 Nov 2017 at 22:07

I seriously thought they would have had to refund 100% of ticket sales for being so naff.

Going on from last year, there need to be five left for the interviews which is week 11. So in weeks 7, 8, 9 and 10 we have to get rid of seven people altogether. I suspect a double, a triple and two singles. There is still one task come up where Alan does his nut in as neither team did well so that could be the triple firing week.

wouldnt be surprised if James is one to get the boot tonight. He’s been in London today on Instagram. Presumably to film “You’re Fired”
