Evening all!

Just found out that there is a new series of the Apprentice starting next week. Not sure I can conjur up the enthusiasm to sit through it, although as a rule it's my favourite reality tv show. It seems a little too soon to be starting it all over again. The twist this time apparently, is that instead of the candidates competing to earn a 6 figure salary working for LAS, this time they are competing for a £250k prize.

The candidates are shown below - most of the women look rather frightening.

Apprecntice 2011 the blokes

Leon Doyle looks like a character out of a Charles Dickens book!

Anyone else going to watch it? Or is it too soon to be going through it all again.......

Most of them look deranged to me.

For some reason I don't think the Jarvis Cocker lookie-likie is going to win.

Where's this years Liz Locke?

Has to be some Totty!!!

It's the law.

The contestants become more idiotic each series.
This bunch are a total joke.

"I'm like a really fine tuned switch. If I need to turn it down then I turn it down. If I need to turn it up then I turn it up."

So more of a dial, then?

Just for you.

"I don't say I can sell ice to the eskimos as why would they need ice?"

Or something similar....

"I see my job as my complete life. I work 24/7. There isn't a cut off."

She says she enjoys reading in her spare time. I thought she had no spare time as she works 24/7?

Cheers!

Must ave been separated at birth.

"I enjoy reading" on a CV is so 1990's.

Everyone knows that nowadays you should have "going to the gym" in it's place.

That's easier to disprove isn't it?

In the 6 months that I worked in recruitment I would say more than 80% of the CV's I read had it on there

I don't like the change - half the point is about how they get on with the Lord of Twitter!

There's a twist on the twist. Heard on the radio today that the winner will start their own business with Sugar as a partner investing 250k of his own money into his 'Apprentice'.


Starts tonight btw, first episode is a 2 parter (tonight/tomorrow).

Looking forward to the twits coming up with " I've got a field full of ponies" comments. I hope there's another baggs the brand tw*t !!

The first two look like they've had face reconstruction surgery that's gone wrong. Number 3 is all right. The brunettes all look the same. And that's just the boys

Maybe it would be a better programme if they were used to test new torture ideas\equipment?

Vincent Disneur 1st to go.

Camera is spending to much time on him.

"Is that an Orange"?

"I work in HR, that's Human Resources"

My early favouite has to be the Irish geezer, Jim I think.

What abot you lot?

(favourite to win btw, not letch over)

If you don't win the apprentice, there always a modelling career.....

"All Cover and no Book" I will use that one.

The guy who fancies himself looks like Zlatan Ibrahimovic

This guy you mean...

Irish guy (Soup Man) was the only one that stood out last night. Couple of real muppets but no-one else really showing any promise yet.

As ever, the 'you're fired' show outshone the main show by a good margin.

Vincent reminded me a lot of Swiss Toni

The guy who got canned was actually quite funny. I would have liked to see him in a few more shows purely for the amusement factor. Public Enemy #1 for me is the HR bird - far too serious and seems pretty thick, a control freak and looks like she would be a nightmare to work with.

The Oriental girl and the Irish guy were the two picks of the bunch for me last night.

Do you mean Human Resources? (definitely my quote of the week when she felt the need to point out what HR stood for)!!!

None of their profiles say Personnel, or HR etc.
