The Apprentice series 20

[mithrandir]

Something like this was always going to happen though when he introduced two extra contenders at the start, thought it might have been more double sackings though.

This was not the first time.

Think I'm getting old but couldn't remember those candidates lol

I got the feeling 2 or more would go during this boardroom meeting. All 3 were diabolical.

To be honest, i forget about 95% of them after just a year later, sometimes sooner.

Usually the week after for me.

I didn't even remember Tim had been on it.

Best week so far, triple firing. Glorious.

Should have saved time and fired them all on day one when everyone was in the room.

These tasks where they have to do the cooking themselves are so unrealistic. You hire a catering team to that, especially when you're paying $60/person!

At the bare minimum a grown ass man should know what bit of the coriander not to throw away though.

Almost as bad as the woman who could not boil an egg and then did not know how to take the shell off.

I think she asked how to peel it iirc?

Even then she got it wrong, she just rolled it on the table instead of tapping it first to crack the shell.

It's all unrealistic, I get that it's in part to see how they think on their feet (along with of course making for "dramatic" TV), but ultimately they're set up to fail. E.g. how are you really expected to design a coherent product and branding when you have 2 different groups of people doing it without being able to communicate throughout the process?

Obviously it's not helped by the candidates being complete morons - yes of course a lot of that is due to editing to make them seem worse than they (probably) are, but even still, it's like none of them have ever actually watched the previous series.

They ALWAYS cut corners on the corporate day task, and it ALWAYS backfires, you'd think they'd have learned from the mistakes made by their predecessors by now....

Doesn't mean we're going to stop watching it though, highly entertaining to see the rookie errors they keep making

Yea, supposed to believe in 2026 that you wouldn't be in full communication with the sub team to update the messaging / preview the designs etc.

How the hell the losing PM survived last night I'll never know, absolutely useless.

Well done to SrAlLrdSug for picking up on the “110%” though.

His almost vomitous response to the 110% comment raised my.estimations of him grately.
