And she'll kick you out, too, Harry, if you don't remember she's Karren with two R's! Very interesting article on her in the current Radio Times, too. I watched other stuff, so are the grovelling sycophants calling the main man "Lord Sugar" since he's no longer a mere Surrallan any more?

This time, Karren Brady says they've gone for a more eclectic bunch, not just all business types. Why, they've even generously included an unemployed man (gasp!) as they wanted the mix to reflect today's workplace (or, in his case, non-workplace) reality a bit more. It'd be nicely ironic if he were to be good enough to win it.

Just seen the repeat. It hard to split the 3 twats in the boardroom but the project manager always gets it.

I saw the re-run last night. Only two words can adequately describe the bloke who got jottered: Bell & End.
Never watched it and saw it on last night so left it run. Surely people have better things to do with their time than watch this rubbish? Do people get a hard on waiting for Sugar to say 'you're fired'? Who would want to watch a bunch of dopes posturing and licking up to Sugar??!!
I really don't know what it is with this country and reality tv.

It's a tricky one, I hate it and always find myself yelling obscenities at it yet tune in every week just to abuse people via the television!
The lack of common sense in each tasks is the best bit about it. Favourite one was when they went to try and sell British cheese in France. :lol:

It's Lord Sugar that gets the hard-on.
Why do people feel the need to feed his ego?

The cheese episode was top class as was the kid on Junior Apprentice who tried to sell all-weather camping products made of cardboard :lol:
Oh, don't! :lol::lol:
I did watch much of the last one as there was a mad fascination to seeing how much of a total balls supposedly - well, they certainly said they were! - brilliant, dynamic, on trend, creative, intelligent people could make of a fairly simple task. As for reality tv - most of the human race enjoys nothing quite so much as schadenfreude - whether it's people falling off horses, going arse over tit on ice, fainting at weddings or making plonkers of themselves on the dancefloor. We love seeing other people's misfortune, especially if no blood (or not much) is spilled.

i just find it funny watching people who are so full of themselves prove to have no common sense whatsover..its heartwarming in certain ways
i'm no fan of the reality/celebrity obsessed world we now inhabit..but there are some serious plums in this
i think they got rid of the wrong one..he was such a cock it was entertaining watching him..whereas the young Gordon Brown look a like was is quite forgetable
the best line..by the gordon look a like.."i'm unique..what do you do then gordon..i'm unemployed...unique alright

It's basically pop music. Most people are passive music fans and just like a nice tune, so 99.9% of the population have never heard Monheim and utter wank like X Factor is dissected to the nth degree. 99% of the population have never seen a single episode of The Shield or Deadwood - they are just after passive satisfaction and so shit like The Apprentice, a show that needs no kind of attention paid to it as it's the same bollocks week after week and year after year is lapped up.

think you are missing the point..certainly as far as getting entertained is concerned
as i get older i realise that watching something that amuses me is more important than any street cred related to viewing this stuff..basically the elitist view is that if you watch pap your a moron..whereas..some of this pap is highly hilarious stuff
if it amuses..can't see an issue
take it seriously?..err no
i also like decent music and decent tv series

because there are different people in it basically
the first series was only 12 episodes or such.
why does everything you watch have to be quality?
i like to think i don't like complete rubbish but at the same time if i only watched quality i would hardly watch anything..in fact i don't watch much now regularly because in the main there is a lot of complete rubbish on..plus after watching TV since the 60's..i've seen everything
at the moment i watch such as..Spooks..Waking The Dead..Midsomer Murders...George Gently
yes i know Midsomer is the same..but i like the mood of it
i've not been a massive watcher of box sets..i watched The Sopranos last winter..and we are on 2nd series of West Wing now..but i find watching in the summer not as appealing..so will probably go through West Wing this winter
there are different levels of pap..some of the shite on now doesn't even register on my radar..but the Apprentice is nowhere near the bottom of the shite pile
in an average week i watch very little TV generally..but some of the stuff i watch isn't the best i've ever watched..I don't think everything has to be

Well, that's EC1 and me on the same sofa, and Euro headbanging in the garage! But, Euro, be fair - you're into death metal or whatever it is. Some people think that's total garbage, so it's just different strokes, y'know? It doesn't point to the decline and fall of the UK because some people like escapist tv - we don't want to be hit over the head with worthy messages all the time, or preached to, any more than some of us want to hear Copland, Frank Sinatra, or the latest Goth all the time.
There are some dreadful so-called comedies on at the moment, where 'humour' seems to have been strangled at birth in lieu of nonstop potty mouthing, peurile fart and poo 'jokes' and so on. But, hey, whatever floats your boat or, in these cases, floats your floater...
