BBC One, 25th March, 21:00

Here are the candidates: http://www.bbc.co.uk/apprentice/candidates.shtml
And they are as humble as ever! :

"To me making money is better than sex."

"I knew I would be selected, not to sound big-headed... "

and my personal favourite:
"Business is the new rock 'n' roll and I'm Elvis Presley"

Just from reading the candidates profiles there seems to be the usual mix of people:

Token ice-maiden (Debra)
Token cocky guy (Ben)
Token nice person who will be eaten alive (Kimberly)
Token eccentric male (Noorul)
Token working-class-hero with sob story (Lorraine)

Should be interesting! :pac:

My favourite so far has to be the guy who says Argos should be banned from selling jewellery. Never a truer word was said.

Great, great television and the odd lesson too. Thanks for the reminder. Alan Sugar makes Bill Cullen look like Fr Dougal.

I LOVE this show I've been meaning to watch the american one but to me Alan sugar just seems to have a charm for want of a better word.

he also doesn't come accross as a complete ****wit like Bill Cullen does.

IMO Reality TV sub board required.

The Apprentice, Big Brother, even Celeb Banisteor, Fierm Factor, Underdogs, The Irish Apprentice will all be talked about soon enough. And the Apprentice certainly needs somewhere to reside.

Big Brother subfourm to become The Reality TV subfourm PLEASE.

OK Elmo, I'll pitch it again to the admins..... makes sense to me. The BB forum is dead for 8 months of the year.

Ewwww. Memories of the army guy and Katie being "affectionate" still haunt me ... was that 2 seasons ago? Not sure I can take anything more overt from the candidates.

Here here. I requested this before and nothing happened. I wouldn't even mind not having a board for it if there could be parallel discussions about aspects of the show. It's the way the disparate threads get merged into one that makes the post-Apprentice discussions on boards frustrating.

+1, I'm thinking of sending them my therepy bills. Yes that was two seasons ago, doesn't time fly when you're desperately trying to supress unpleasant mental images!

Can't wait for this tonight. Not into Reality TV but love The Apprentice. Apparantly, one of the contestants dropped out before filming even began so it looks like there's going to be drama from the very beginning.
