I had a quick look, then turned off again. There were only 3 team members when we were there, so I assume it will be much later in the series!

The problem I find with the apprentice is that it's full of 'expert' sales people who couldn't sell a coat in winter.
I can only assume half of them get on the programme for entertainment value as most of them are grade A bell ends!

Most of them are basically kids with very little experience of anything other than their success in their own typically isolated / limited field and have little experience of failure or disagreement.

I looked up Sohail because he's a martial artist. He probably makes good money doing it, but what he sells is utter BS (from a martial arts POV)

If you had decent business people there, it would be dull as ditchwater. Much like most strategy or board meetings I suspect

On the upside, so far at least no one has proposed a working group, a sub-committee or a strategy review prior to accepting any of the tasks.

What's with the lips on half the women there?


[blue touch-paper lit, I shall now retire to a safe distance]
Female baboon bottoms look very similar!
It appears to be de rigueur nowadays for certain ladies. I guess that in 20 years or so they will be bleating on about what the lip fillers have done to their health and the tax payer will fund their vanity through the NHS & social services.

Man, I love the programme, I always wonder what I would do in the circumstances.
I'd like to think my life experiences would prevail but I am not always sure.

To be honest, Newton and I had a quick chat with the bloke about the electric bike and he seemed quite reasonable. Not sure how much of a bellend he is TV land, but if those were the last 3 then I think Alan Sugar debellended the series quite well...

Not necessarily
3 members were there on a filming task while there would be 3 or more “back home” getting the marketing side of the task sorted

All I can tell you is that it’s not the first three, there is a program guide.

Also, they shot the walking away bit at Ace, which made me think it was near the end. Maybe we should do a sweepstake :)

Edit: ok, let’s not :p

Who knows but those task usually have 4 or 5 group members still and they send half of etc
So double that for the other group and I’d say approx 8 or so still left
