Let's discuss the idiots on Reality TV

Plus them being so scared of green "giving Shrek" as if nothing else has ever been green.

Seen this video on Facebook. Rather amusing I thought showing the 'side jobs' that make the Apprentice

Also that one that got rejected by Waitrose but smugly talked about their Tesco order was brilliant. What a bitch.

Melica, the gift who keeps giving. She didn't even get the Tesco order, that was Mia who seems like one of the few sane candidates.

Melica, took the lead & went to pitch their easter egg with her former employer, Waitrose. Tried to schmooze one of them who was wearing a chefs whites jacket. Asking him, "oh is that the deli jacket, or the one from the fish counter?" Neither, he's a senior development chef, who focuses on coffee and chocolate. Who would have thought it. They haven't sent Dave off the fish counter to come and buy Easter eggs for Waitrose.

You do wonder how many of the contestants are actually stupid and how much of it is the producers goading them into bad ideas.

There's a huge amount of the latter, as has come out in recent years from ex-contestants.   Things like them putting extra restrictions on what they can and can't do in each challenge but never actually explaining that on TV, so the contestants just look extra thick when they seem to get even the most basic of decisions wrong.  Chances are they were specifically told not to do the obvious because it wouldn't make for the best TV. 

The sad thing is someone has been uploading old clips onto Tiktok from the first couple of series and it was such a more enthralling show when it was produced in more of a documentary style without the edited reaction shots, musical overlays, voice overs, etc.

There has to be an element of production so they get the show they want. Same as stuff like Hunted which clearly has its own rules we're not necessarily aware of.

Mia to win as I fancy her.

Alan told another West Ham trophy gag. 11/10 episode.

[Tim Healys Chutney Spoon]

Agree on both those points. Mia I think actually has her head screwed on and will do well but I fear she'll come a cropper at the interview round 

[Jazzy G]

I remember reading a thread on Reddit where some candidates explained exactly how hamstrung they are during the process as regards the choices they have.

Uh yeah, that would be Will Torrent, one of the world's best chocolatiers. Producers' wet dream letting the candidates walk into that one.

Why do they wake up in pure darkness at 4am with 20 mins to get ready, but it is broad daylight when they are chatting in the cars en-route to the tasks?

A wizard did it.

Watching The Apprentice....fucking hell what a bunch of idiots?!

 

Let's make a advert for our product...but let's not show it...or get it out the container...

 

And then the other team make a shite product, shite advert, shite idiots.

 

 

Trying to post the above without spoilers!

The whole episode came across ridiculous. Why was Sugar going to be the final judge of the product, if he refused to taste them.

Melica comes across daft as a brush, but I couldn't see her repeatedly saying "I've got an A in GCSE drama" throughout, when they made the advert, without some kind of input from the producers.

They complained the BANGIN sauce was basic and unoriginal. They had an ex tennis player and air conditioning salesman creating and producing it. It was going to be basic, but at least it was edible, compared to the yellow cement in a bottle.
