Adam for me. Can’t stand the bloke. 

I feel a bit sorry for Adam. He looks like the fat kid at school who's tried to be like the cool kids. So he's covered himself in tats, fake tan, polo white teeth and a haircut he perceives that looks good on him. He thinks doing all this, would attract him to a girl like Lacey. But she's been paired with a naturally good looking bloke in Nathan. That's why the experts have put him with Polly. As they are more equal, he can't see it though. I don't know how many times they are going to string this couple along, as clear to everyone except Polly, he doesn't wanted to progress with any intimacy with her.

Eve was an interesting character.

The sub team leader in the losing team. The most serious man alive. Comes across such a prick.

I hate them all already. Why is it so far removed from the original concept? They’re all bumbling delusional morons. There’s no way a businessman would go into partnership with any these people. How did Tim do it?

Of course, I still watch even though my heart rate is through the roof every week.

Tim did it because he, and the first few winners, were good decent business people who got jobs with Sugar and got mentored and trained by him and eventually they went off and did their own things, rather successfully I might add.

 

Nowadays it's a reality TV show and it's basically box-ticking most series now. Hardly any have any actual business acumen.

 

Dragons Den is going the same way too - whoever has the best sob story gets the investment. Before it was about the invention or idea and whether it would make money. Now it's just handouts/ups rather than if the product is any good or not.

While I do think the editing is more towards that these days, I do think they still invest in things they genuinely think they can make a success of. I'm not sure they're throwing their money around completely.

On the subject of Dragons Den, 4 people separately texted me to tell me about that football shirt selling nonce on there the other week. Never let it be said that I don't have a brand :)

I hope he fails obviously.

I think a lot of how the Apprentice is edited now is to present the contestants as inept in order to drive enagement on social media. The more ridiculous the people are, the more attention it garners for them. They're probably at the very least semi-competant at business, or a lot better at it than I am, but nobody wants to see business people being good at business nowadays.

Keir seems like the standout wally so far, who's going to be strung on being a prat for a few weeks before getting sacked .

So far he was proud as punch, he sold the most tour tickets out of his team. He sold them all for less than they were bought for.

One was sold for £50 in a game of rock paper scissors (which he lost)

Another girl who had bought a ticket for £100, saw the above commotion and then said it wasn't fair, as she paid £100. So to save the sale, they had to sell to her at £50.

Sold another ticket by personally saying he would yodel on the tour, even though that was the other teams jobs to do and learn the information. So he had to switch teams on tour day.

Carlo the upright sub team leader was a bit strange too. Selling e-bike tour tickets around the Austrian hills and he kept targeting pensioners. When they told him to stop, he went and had a 10 minute chat with a 90 year old.

Wrong thread.

Oh wait, sorry, wrong Keir.
