Apprentice 2026

There so bad it’s funny 🤣

Georgina was so obnoxious, when she asked if she could speak I blurted out "NO" at the telly.
The first episode was a masterpiece of how you don't do it.

Watching episode 2 now. I see they havn't changed the age old trope of "supposedly" ringing them at 4.30am and saying the cars will be outside in 20 minutes.

Now ignoring the fact there is a shot of them leaving the house and getting into the cars supposedly at 4.50am and the sun is splitting the stone outside, but the unlikeable estate agent goes "I'm showering first". There's 10 men left and its inferred there is one shower between then. I dont see how you get 10 men showered and dressed in 20 minutes unless its one big communal shower.

I'm cautious of spoilers, but lets just say, the mens idea this week is SH!T.

The womens team is not great, but the mens… well you will see.

Ive been watching every year for the last ~13 years, and I feel like what you just said every year!

It is clearly heavily edited and I do feel some candidates are set up a little to fail. But in some cases they also give them just enough rope to hang themselves with.

Well we're only two episodes in, it always takes a few weeks to meet the new group and decide who you like.

I do quite like the Irish guy. He was quite sensible in the first episode.

Candidate #1: I dont eat eggs

Candidate #2: I dont eat cheese

Candidate #3: I can't touch pork for religious reasons.

PM: OK I'll put you 3 in the kitchen and by the way we are making pasta carbonara.

And the guy with the maths degree struggling to multiply by 1.5.

The Apprentice is fast becoming unwatchable. The candidates’ employability, never mind their business skills seem questionable so far. I’m curious how rigorous the interview process to get on the programme is. What’s very grating too is the seemingly endless ineptitude which I don’t find entertaining & which the editing almost makes some kind of a badge of honour.

Estate agent woman is annoying. And how can you not recognise Big Ben? I've never driven through Giza but fairly sure I'd know that's the pyramid.

She is very annoying. And Ive only been to London once(not including flying through Stansted), but I'd recognise Big Ben any where. You are driving through central London, why be all surprised when seeing Big Ben?

She's also the one who told the others she had written a book, and then it turned out her, school board had written one and she had a "hand in it". I can't see her being long for this process.

I liked both PMs. Dan seems especially laid back in a non-Apprentice way.

I like Dan but he's far too laid back.

Have to admit I wouldn't know how to boil an egg either.

I know how to boil an egg, and there is a process, and you have to know the process. The problem wasn't so much the 2 women who didn't know how, it was the third one who was unable to properly direct them. Although one of them unable to fish one of the eggs out of the saucepan with the collander was funny.

I agree I think Connor is the frontrunner.

I love in the intro they say "The best and brightest in British business competing for Lord Sugar's investment".

The best and brightest? Really?

I am really surprised the banana-milkshake lookalike won.

Next week is going to be so cringe. I can't wait!

My Amstrad 464 was a decent machine.

Would have to wonder how sharp Sugar's mind is these days. Seems to be falling for a lot of scammy and AI stuff on Twitter recently including this one yesterday..

Definitely Hippo for me.

How is that "falling" for an AI or scammy thing? Have you got any better examples?

As an example of him not being sharp anymore, this second image is a bad example.
