The finals in the first few series are the best, they're quite boring these days, especially w finalists like James and Sarah

9 is still my favourite season but 1 is my second favourite because it was great throughout. I wish Alan would do second chances and bring back Saira and Paul to see their iconic feud.

Series 8
So basically, Series 8 isn't awful. TA doesn't have any 'awful' series. It's just totally half-baked. It has all the good ingredients for a series. Loveable characters to root for, villains, some minor story arcs, but everyone and everything is so... slight compared to your normal Apprentice series The first few weeks really are quite drab. Like Weeks 1 and 2 have their moments... like Bilyana's self-firing, the zoo fiasco, one million orders, Maria sleeping... But you can tell right from the very start that the crop isn't up to par. It does get better when you start rooting for/against people. Nick/Gabrielle are always early favourites, and Adam and Stephen makes themselves known as bellends from just about the start. Weeks 5 and 6 are actually quite good episodes as I said. The teams are basically Heroes vs Villains, and Jenna winning as PM and Adam losing is pretty great Weeks 7 and 8 are pretty dull... like Jade's messy PM attempt is great, and the Week 8 task is unique, but there's nothing much going on here. Weeks 9 and 10 are a decent two episode punch IMO. Despite the TRAGIC firings of Jenna and Gabrielle (I mean who am I kidding Jenna never had any chance), Week 9 is actually fairly entertaining with Jade scalping Adam the 'choreographer', and Jenna's horrible advert. Also, Stephen becoming more slimy in the boardroom, and putting himself up as PM only to fail terribly in Week 10 as Jade rises like a Phoenix is probably the most gripping storyline of the series. Stephen's villain arc is good ngl, it's just such a shame Gabrielle went too. The Final Five of Series 8 is just so...odd. Like Jade really begins to shine as the interviews approach, and I love her, Ricky and Nick are decent too, but they are all so...dull compared to your usual finalists, and Tom is legimimately the most boring person to make the final ever, and Adam is a cock. Jade slaying Adam in Week 11 is a great ending to the Jade/Adam storyline (one of S8's many 'storylines' that actually amounts to very little excitement). But yeah, Series 8 is watchable, and I'd argue has a better ending than Series 7. Adam and Stephen's demises are satisfying, and I really like Ricky as a winner, but it's just all so lowkey compared to usual series. I really must commend Series 8 for the candidate caliber though, and as I said, it's nice that we actually have strong feelings about the finalists (not Tom lol), unlike some more recent series. Jade Gabrielle Ricky Jenna Laura Nick Bilyana Jane Katie Duane Maria Michael Azhar Tom Stephen Adam Ricky: I really like Ricky as a winner. He has a great storyline. He really flourishes, and he actually is a good guy, as evidenced by him snatching Stephen's weave. Tom: Honestly wtf. I cannot believe someone as boring got to the final. I'm also surprised the board never brought up how lifeless he was? Literally dead behind the eyes. He even managed to make getting drunk on a task and mincing his words mind-numbingly boring. Nick: I loved Nick back in the day, but he's actually another pretty dull one. And yeah, him saying Jade should get fired pissed me off. Jade: Formerly pudgy queen She's just good fun really, and such a positive influence in the series. So down-to-earth, and likeable. She like Ricky has a good redemption arc, after her disastrous Week 7 PM stint. Adam: Legitimate cock. The signs were there with him telling Katie to be careful about PM as it was 'very complicated', and he was just a prick to Jade for much of the series. I don't like how his firing is made out to be a sad affair? I rejoice every time. Stephen: The true villain of S8. He's just so...odd. And he was a right slimy snake in the boardroom. Gabrielle: Like Nick, Gabby hasn't held up quite as well all these years later. I think Jade's superior now. She's just a wee bitty dull! Despite her craziness when she was brought into the boardroom.She is a really unique candidate and I love her for that Jenna: She's just a mess who's totally out of her depth adn I think that's why I love her? Remember being gutted when she was fired back in 2012. Laura: An iconic bitch. Azhar: Like Tom, tediously dull. idk how he was chosen. Katie: Don't really rate her as a person or candidate. Duane: Don't care for him. Jane: A great Week 4 boot. She's a massive bitch, but her being fired so early is still quite crazy. Michael: Anotehr ridiculously boring one. Maria: Bit of a dickhead tbh. Just far too immature for the process. Bilyana: TRAGIC Week 1 firing. Katie should have gone. Bilyana would really have spiced up the seires. But yeah, there is a lot of dead weight here tbh. Maybe I am being a bit nostalgic to Series 8 though, as it was my first series, and I'm in disbelief it was 5 and a half years ago. |

The opening sequence of Series 9 is honestly so triumphant. We are greeted with a beautiful new series premier soundtrack, glossy new London shots, a plethora of shots which fill you with hope for how good the season is going to be when the most shocking thing in last series' intro was Jade smashing a bowl, and then you have Alex arriving from Cardiff on a gondola.
You are then greeted with this group of bloody weirdos outside the boardroom, soundtracked with a very eerie re-working of the 'waiting outside the boardroom' theme. Honestly, this series is amazing from the first second. Ah nostalgia |

'Awww man'
'No I'm not man, I'm Lord Sugar' 'Oh I'm sorry.. I'm so sorry' *sounding even more sarcastic than she was on the task* |
