Always gets me how they haven’t a clue about a brand name or what their logo/branding may look like

Why does the pharmacist were a pilot's jacket?

Catherine will do well in Dublin with all the huns who wear their parjarmars to the shops.

Man Vs ManUre · 24-03-2022 10:41pm

My cat is very annoyed and says he wants Harpreet to win.

I've never cared less who won an apprentice final. Nice enough ladies but very ordinary businesses really.

Mantis Toboggan · 24-03-2022 11:03pm

Harpreet the obvious choice and deserving winner.

Brittany has a primary school teacher vibe

I presume Sugar gets paid more than the €250k he gives away?

Really poor line up this year and nothing original on offer.

I did a quick calculation and based on his current net worth he could give away 250k a week and wouldnt run out of money for 92 years - I doubt he is losing money though I doubt he really cares about that side of it, probably in it for profile/publicity reasons, he's getting something out of it for sure

Let's face it, if he wanted to set up a cake shop or a pyjama website he could do it much better than any of these contestants using all the experts he gets to judge the tasks - so I dont think he is in it to unearth some unicorn business idea either

I think I read that he donates his show fee to Great Ormand St.

The final is usually the first episode of the season. This year was no different.

Hahaha.. That was meant to be worst!

I turned over to the World Cup qualifier playoffs half way through tonight’s show, I just didn’t care which one of them won in the end.

Exclamation Marc · 25-03-2022 1:50am

Two massively underwhelming finalists.

The fact that Harpreet got to the final despite her venture being 50:50 owned with someone else would never have happened before and just shows how shallow the pool was.

Katherine hadn't a hope with her online pyjama business. She was drowning since the beginning but as soon as she mentioned the 250k partially going to influencers she was dead in the water.

As another poster said, I had utterly no interest in either candidate winning. Awful episode.

On another note, Nick really thinks he's the second coming of christ. 😂

Xander10 · 25-03-2022 10:03am

Claude was badly missed from the weekly shows. I thought the new guy brought nothing from an entertainment perspective.

GAAcailin · 25-03-2022 11:41pm

Think if Naveem (the pharmacist contestant) was in anyway half decent he’d have lasted. None of the rest of them had a decent business proposition.

katherine didn’t accept that jungle print is no longer en vogue - that seemed to annoy L. Sugar.

I can’t imagine putting PJ’s on my dog - she’d go nuts !

al87987 · 29-03-2022 10:22am

Harpreet was a fantastic candidate, really investable no matter what her business was she was always going to win. Really driven, competent and you could tell how much her fellow candidates respected her, for instance when Akshay spoke up without being prompted.

Sugar never usually invests in the store owner who just wants to open another store but with her it was a no-brainer.

Good to have the show back but they really just need to mix up the tasks in future as far too many that we have seen over and over again at this point.

"katherine didn’t accept that jungle print is no longer en vogue"

but at the presentation, she had already answered that criticism by saying that it was in the previous year's collection of Dolce & Gabbana or some such brand. Clearly, she had her finger on the pulse in that respect.

StupidLikeAFox · 04-04-2022 9:28am

Wonder what the craic was with Aaron. He was there for a good chunk of the process, but his firing happened really abruptly and he wasn't in the final

I think Katherine's was a nonsense idea tbh. I know matching pj's are a bit of a novelty for Christmas eve (or for the toy show here), but apart from that I'm struggling to see when you would be bothered

When you break her 'business' down, you're spot on, its a nonsense idea. But more than that, how it actually made it onto the show seems bewildering as its more like a hobby she has on the side rather than an actual plan with merit. Whilst I think the idea of giving the deal to someone who co-shares a business is flawed and undermines the process, Katherine's business seemed entirely underdeveloped and not at all feasible. I do think that Harpreet wouldn't have stood a chance if there was any credible business plans in the final four.

Exclamation Marc · 04-04-2022 11:48am

I feel like Aaron was remarkably average throughout the process, never good enough to get sustained acclaim and never bad enough to be at fault up until the episode where he was fired (where he was an awful PM; but fair to note that everyone was awful in that task).

Man Vs ManUre · 04-04-2022 1:20pm

Harpreets deserts looked totally over the top, too much for one person so maybe best to share, but 2 people buying 1 desert is not good for business. Plus at a time when we need to reduce obesity it’s probably not a good idea to spend your time in a desert shop.

exactly my thinking too. Maybe ye might go once a month or so?

I reckon there will be no more of her shops and he will put her into a managerial role of something else, in which I have no doubt she will do very well.
