My rankings are a bit messed up as I saw these episodes hours ago, so it was hard to remember. The ones in orange have either made no impression on me due to lack of airtime so therefore I have no opinion on them or they've annoyed me to some extent (but not enough for me to dislike them).

Jemma, Ella Jade, and Pamela need more airtime as they've hardly been shown in these 3 episodes, so I have no opinion on them.

Ella Jade and Katie are red in Episode 2 as they kept coming for #NurunNation (who rightly told them what so). Nurun's team winning by luck in the Wearable Technology task <3 I found Robert's firing to be harsh, he was just fired because he didn't put himself as PM. I liked Robert, so I was a bit gutted he was fired as I thought he had potential. Roisin as PM in Episode 3 was good. I like her. Steven's good in this episode when he made out that his input during the pitch saved them <3

I'm not really liking Mark much in these two episodes. He seems very quick to pick at people's faults and expose them in the BR, which I find quite sly and sneaky. He did it to Daniel in E2 during the "I wouldn't wear it in public" comment which I understood as that was a silly mistake on Daniel's behalf. But then in Episode 3 he snaked Lindsay out in the BR for doing nothing and got her fired. He also seems to make notes on people's bad qualities and uses it against them when they're in the firing line. He's too critical tbh. No wonder this prick won the thing :rolleyes:

[LukeB]

I really want to watch a season again tbh :laugh: but effort

[Lostie!]

100% agree, that's exactly what I didn't like about Mark. :clap1:

[Jason.]

^ He reminds me of Brett from S11

[Jason.]

James is annoying me too. He talks too much. It's like give it a break. He was snappy in the Wearable Technology task, so I went off him. He was okay in the Fragrance task though.

[Jason.]

Also can we just take a minute to mourn over the firing of #NURUNNATION </3

And screaming @ Lindsay doing **** all in the Fragrance task and only making like £12 :joker:

[Lostie!]

I felt bad for Lindsay in the end though, when she basically decided she should be fired. :laugh:

[Jason.]

I felt bad for Lindsay in the end though, when she basically decided she should be fired. :laugh:

Yeah, same. She looked like she was going to cry. I grew to kinda like her-ish in the end :laugh:

I blame Mark for that though cause he pretty much just threw her under the bus, which fuels my dislike for him even more after that.

[Jason.]

Episode 4 was the weakest out of the ones I've seen so far. Not only because the result was tragic, but the online video task was kinda boring tbh.

But yeah, gutted Sarah and Steven were fired. Steven was hilarious and I think Sarah is my favourite.

Ella Jade had a lot of airtime this episode given she had none in the first 3. I kinda liked her, she was a messy PM. And her begging Lord Sugar to keep her in after he fired her, and then her begging again and again, resulting in Sugar telling her that she was fired twice. I felt bad for her but it was ****ing hilarious :joker:

Also Pamela and Jemma were shown quite a bit too. Wasn't a fan of Pamela. She was just too quick to pass the blame on others and I found her annoying. I liked Jemma though.

[Lostie!]

I'm not having Pamela shade, mister.

[Jason.]

She was a knob in this episode. :hmph:

[Jason.]

I've also noticed Lord Sugar is quite harsher in this series, with this "no nonsense, deadwood and bottlers" attitude. He's nothing like that in the current series.

Or am I just overthinking things?

[TomC]

Pamela was awful.

And yeah, LS's not on form this year.

[reece(:]

All Sugar does now is pull messy rehearsed jokes.

[TomC]

All Sugar does now is pull messy rehearsed jokes.

Yeah the boardrooms have been pretty flat this year. It was like the candidates were fighting for their lives some years. But no, not this time, and that's probably because Sugar isn't sufficiently pressurizing them.

[Lostie!]

Pamela was awful.

I can confirm this is false.

[Jason.]

Yeah the boardrooms have been pretty flat this year. It was like the candidates were fighting for their lives some years. But no, not this time, and that's probably because Sugar isn't sufficiently pressurizing them.

I agree with this. In S10, they're very tense.

[TomC]

I agree with this. In S10, they're very tense.

Sarah, Steven and Ella Jade's futile brawl remains iconic.

[TomC]

I can confirm this is false.

No way - whiny and backstabbing! Take Daniel over her any day.

[Jason.]

Yeah Pamela came across too whiny for me. Always criticizing the PM even though she did **** all herself to help the team. I mean this is only Episode 4, so she may grow on me in future episodes. But I wasn't keen on her in Week 4.

[LukeB]

I might watch season 6 or 7 next week

[TomC]

Yeah Pamela came across too whiny for me. Always criticizing the PM even though she did **** all herself to help the team. I mean this is only Episode 4, so she may grow on me in future episodes. But I wasn't keen on her in Week 4.

You're right. And I'm sorry to say it gets worse.

[MB.]

Anyone who prefers Daniel to Puddin needs Jesus

[Pete.]

I loved Pamela :(

[Pete.]

I'm still demanding Justice for Jemma though

[Jason.]

MB post your overall S10 rankings please

[EspeonBB]

I think Sarah is my favourite.

Yeah Pamela came across too whiny for me. Always criticizing the PM even though she did **** all herself to help the team.

Flawless opinions!

[Headie]

I'm still demanding Justice for Jemma though

Queen <3

[TomC]

Jemma was lovely <3

Ugh Daniel was so better than Puddin MB

[MB.]

MB post your overall S10 rankings please

Idk probably something like Sarah > Roisin > Bianca > Steven > Mark > Katie > Jemma > Puddin > Lauren > Sanjay > Solomon > Lindsay > Nurun > Ella Jade > Felipe > Robert > Chiles > Daniel > Scott > James?

There were so many candidates that it's an almost impossible task to form opinions on most of them but there we go

[Jason.]

Nurun is too low imo :hmph:

[Jason.]

But yeah the 20 candidates thing is too much. Doing my rankings for the first episode was a task in itself as they were all interchangeable after my Top 6

[Jason.]

Finished Episode 5. Brilliant episode :love:

I liked Jemma in this episode and I was upset to see her get fired. James is beginning to annoy me with this 'Jack the Lad' persona he keeps portraying and his desperation to be funny which just comes across as cringe. He also has moments where he can be a prick in the boardroom.

Mark is annoying me too. I want to like him, but I just can't. He has this superiority complex about him that I just don't like. Still can't warm to Pamela. Something about her just irks me but I can't put my finger on it :think: There's only one room for an Irish goddess and that's #ROISINREPUBLIC :hmph:

I'm liking Roisin, Lauren, and Katie.

[Jason.]

Oh and I forgot to mention this but doesn't Sanjay sound like Craig Coates?

Or is that just me?

Brilliant episode. Much better than the Coach Trip one. :amazed:

I was looking forwards to seeing the argument between James and Bianca. I found James came across aggressive for no reason whatsoever. Bianca didn't even do anything wrong :umm2: He just couldn't handle someone with a different opinion/idea to him.

I'm 50/50 on Pamela. I kinda liked her in this episode. But she was kinda a dick in the BR. First of all she kept coming for Lauren (who I love) :nono: And also she was kind of hypocritical when she said Daniel didn't take responsibility for his actions when it was her idea to have a relationship themed game which turned out to be an awful idea and game and then blamed Daniel for the task failing.

Mark again is exposing people's faults. I mean he's a good business person, but he always feels the need to expose people's faults in the BR. Daniel clocked him and made a brilliant point about it :clap1: I'm liking Daniel tbh. I'm not sure if its an unpopular opinion, I mean yeah, he's delusional but better him than a sly prick (Mark).

Can I just say, this series is BRILLIANT!!

Mark is such a ****. :rolleyes: Does anybody actually like him?

[TomC]

It scares me how low you have Felipe, Jason. And yeah I agree, generally Daniel was a more interesting character than Mark IMO.

[Jason.]

It scares me how low you have Felipe, Jason. And yeah I agree, generally Daniel was a more interesting character than Mark IMO.

Felipe's only had airtime on like 3/7 episodes I've seen so far and he doesn't really make much of an impression when he does have airtime tbqh. Nice enough guy but meh, he doesn't really interest to me. He's just there.

Good list. Bianca, Lauren and Roisin are a little too low though. I'm glad I'm not the only one who likes Daniel as opposed to say Mark and Pamela. I mean he's not my favourite but I think he's a good character and he summed up Mark perfectly in the BR. Mark is awful. Pamela is okay. I like Jemma and Ella Jade.

[LukeB]

Where are you watching TA seasons?

[Jason.]

Where are you watching TA seasons?

I use watchseries. They have all series, plus I cba with YouTube because they're blocked on there and it's effort using a proxy all the time.

[TomC]

I hated Solomon when I re-watched Series 10. He just seemed like such a fake - like he was acting dumb all the time. That comes through more in episodes you haven't seen yet though.

[LukeB]

I'm going to re-watch Luisa's season soon

[Jason.]

I'm going to re-watch Luisa's season soon

I'm watching that next. :amazed:

[LukeB]

I'm watching that next. :amazed:

Ii'm going to start it next week :flutter:

[Jason.]

Tbh that describes James very well. :laugh: Always acting dumb/playing the joker.

Solomon comes across really well albeit a little dull at times, from the episodes I've seen tbh. But I'm liking him overall. But then I haven't finished the series so my opinions could change in the next 5 episodes, especially now as you say it comes later on.

[Jason.]

Ii'm going to start it next week :flutter:

Same here. Or more like in a few days when I finish S10. Maybe Monday or something.

[LukeB]

You're getting through S10 quite quick tbf.. i'm impressed

[Jason.]

You're getting through S10 quite quick tbf.. i'm impressed

You and Survivor teas. :smug:

I'm watching 2 episodes a day. Tbf each series is like 12 episodes. If I didn't have work and other things, I'd probably watch like 3/4 episodes a day and finish it in like 3 days. Not to mention it's a brilliant series and I've been hooked to it from the start :flutter:

:smug:

I always have some pattern when I watch a show.. 3 episodes takes like 2 hours.. then i have a break then watch 3 more episodes.. but at night i watch it until i'm really tired. Binge > weekly

well TA isn't 40 mins so it would take 3 hours to watch 3 episodes

[Jason.]

Yeah, I've been watching TA10 late at night hence why my rankings are posted at like 2 in the morning :laugh: But I'm the same, I like to binge at evening/night, so I'm free during the day.

BIB - I'm thinking of binging Scream Queens as the show will finish in like 2 weeks in the US and waiting a week for an episode on E4 is too long (not to mention being 7 weeks behind is steep and can't resist not knowing what happens). Plus the quality on Putlocker is brilliant and in HD - so picture quality isn't a problem. And I find I pay more attention when I watch things online as opposed to watching it on TV, as you're often distracted by the laptop or phone so you miss all the important parts of the show whilst it's on TV.

Yeah but James actually is dumb :laugh: Solomon however had just graduated from Exeter Uni!

They both have something in common though IMO - they came on the show for fame.

Yeah you should tbh, there's like 3 episodes left.. 1 next week and a double the week after.. I can't even discuss it with my friends because they are watching it on E4 and there's me on episode 10 :laugh: Weekly is annoying but it's something to look forward to as well but waiting is ****

[Lostie!]

Luisa would put me off rewatching Series 9 tbh. :yuk:

Series 5 is top of my list to watch (I've never seen it and it sounds good).

[TomC]

Luisa was a fantastic candidate IMO. Get on and watch Series 5 Lostie!

[Lostie!]

Luisa was a fantastic candidate IMO. Get on and watch Series 5 Lostie!

I started watching it the other day but the only link I had was agonising to watch, the audio kept stuttering and dying. :sad: :laugh:

[Jason.]

Yeah but James actually is dumb :laugh: Solomon however had just graduated from Exeter Uni!

Meh, it doesn't bother me that they came on the show for fame. I mean I love Luisa but she's just as fame-hungry as those two are (I haven't seen her on TA9, but judging from her CBB13 appearance and post-CBB13). And even if they are fame-hungry, they look less tacky and trashy than the fame-hungry ones who go on BB.

Yeah you should tbh, there's like 3 episodes left.. 1 next week and a double the week after.. I can't even discuss it with my friends because they are watching it on E4 and there's me on episode 10 :laugh: Weekly is annoying but it's something to look forward to as well but waiting is ****

That's true. I think it's better binging it online and then putting it on E4 weekly in the background, just in case you happen to miss something when you saw it the first time or if it's an episode you happened to enjoy.

[Jason.]

Luisa would put me off rewatching Series 9 tbh. :yuk:

Series 5 is top of my list to watch (I've never seen it and it sounds good).

Why do you hate Luisa? Was she a knob on TA or did her CBB appearance tamper her legacy or something? :laugh:

[LukeB]

Jason,How did you remember everyone's name? 20 :omgno: I have to use their website each season to know who is who

[Jason.]

Jason,How did you remember everyone's name? 20 :omgno: I have to use their website each season to know who is who

:laugh:

I was like that too, for the first 2 episodes I watched. But you get used to it and know everyone by the 3rd/4th episode. Ranking 20 candidates in the first episode was a bloody task in itself though

[Lostie!]

Why do you hate Luisa? Was she a knob on TA or did her CBB appearance tamper her legacy or something? :laugh:

I found her to be an unlikeable overrated knobhead on both. :laugh:

But yeah, if you liked her on CBB, which I assume you did, you'll like her on TA.

[Jason.]

Meh, he wasn't that bad in this episode. And Sanjay irritates me. James was a **** PM and he kept snapping at Roisin for no reason - same way he did with Bianca in the other task. :nono:

[LukeB]

Did you recognise anything on the episode where James got eliminated.. hint hint Mergim's sob story.

[Jason.]

Omg yes, I forgot to mention it. I cackled at that. So pathetic. :joker:

[LukeB]

James setting that trend :clap2: which never works

[Jason.]

Before watching this series, I was expecting him to be this nasty, vile character. But he's not as bad as I imagined him to be - don't get me wrong, he's awful. But he's more of a nuisance if anything with his constant acting stupid and playing the joker/clown which irritated me as much as it did Sugar. As well as his snappy side which I found unnecessary. Particularly at Bianca and Roisin.

[reece(:]

Roisin finishing him off in the boardroom :love:

8. Katie

The infamous Skeletongate episode, which I've been long waiting for. I did find it unfair that Sugar practically told Tenacity that they won only to revoke their win and make Summit the winners by default just because of the paper Skeleton which actually didn't go against the task brief in the first place. I also feel that Felipe's firing was quite bias.

I really like Roisin, I think she's my favourite tbh. It was Sarah but she didn't last long and Roisin has been brilliant. I'm liking Daniel, I think he's an interesting character. Katie just irritates me tbh. Should've been fired weeks ago.

[Pete.]

I thought Felipe was a clear winner so I welcomed it :laugh:

[Pete.]

Justice for Katie :(

The skeleton didn't fit the brief at all :suspect:

Didn't really dislike anyone in this episode. I thought Katie came across well. I like her. She often has her annoying moments, but then she has her good moments, so I'm 50/50 on her in general, but I like her.

Karren exposing Sanjay's bitching about Bianca in front of Bianca in the BR was classic. :joker: Queen Karren :love:

Mark choking during the third pitch was hilarious purely for the fact he's been picking at people's faults only for him to mess up himself and embarrass himself. :laugh:

Overall, I'm happy with the Final 5.

Episode 11 - Interviews

1. Bianca
2. Roisin
3. Solomon
4. Daniel
5. Mark

I'm liking everyone left in this episode tbh. I don't mind Mark, but he has this arrogant and cocky demeanor about him, especially in the BR, always putting other people's businesses down and saying he'll do better than them. Sad thing is he was right (well Lord Sugar thought so) as he ended up winning the thing :sad:

This episode for me was brilliant as this year is my first time watching TA, so it was interesting seeing what happens in the later stages of the process. They all had interviews with different advisers (including Claude Littner) about their proposed business plans.

Claude ripping into Solomon was brilliant. I was creasing. :laugh2: Solomon's 4-page business plan consisting of little doodles of boats. Claude telling him to leave and Solmon walking to the window instead of the door. :joker:

Yeah, I really enjoyed this episode. I can't wait to see this years interviews. I've got one more episode to watch now and it's the final and I'm really excited for it (even though I know the result). But I just want to see what happens and how the winner is announced etc. I also never knew fired candidates appear in the final episode to help the Final 2 with launching their businesses. I saw it on the Next Time at the end of the episode. Very excited in seeing some of the fired candidates again. Sarah, Steven, and Lauren :flutter:

[Headie]

Bianca :love:

Bianca :love:

True winner of TA10 tbh

[Jason.]

Now that I'm almost done with TA10. I understand when people say this years series has been rubbish/bland/boring. I mean don't get me wrong I've enjoyed TA11. But it is bland and basic as **** compared to last years series. The boot order this year has been tragic. And even most of the good ones in TA11 aren't on par with the good ones in TA10. Plus last years cast and tasks were better.

Can't wait for TA9 which is apparently better than 10. :amazed:

[TomC]

Really? Personally, I've preferred Series 11 so far. I feel more invested in the candidates this year than last year. I never got the Roisin love.

And I most definitely cannot agree about the tasks being better. Last year's tasks were literally dire - the wearable technology and YT channel ones were impossible tasks, the latter having very little to do with business, and there were too many product design tasks.

BIB - Because she's a brilliant candidate.

I understand where you're coming from with the invested in this years candidates as last year had about 20 of them - some of which had hardly any airtime (Jemma being a prime example)

She was a good candidate but I never strongly felt I wanted her to win.

And yeah, it came from there being too many candidates. I still think 18 is too many tbh. They should go back to 16.

(also because his business had the fastest turnover of any winning Apprentice business or summit like that)

I love the boardroom music and the music they play when the fired candidate does the walk of shame. So suspenseful <33

It was so much more suspenseful in the earlier series... Watch this firing! They changed the music to something much more vapid in Series 9...

A week and I've finished this series. I've thoroughly enjoyed it and it's a brilliant series. :love:

My overall ranking of the series. With there being 20 candidates, most of them I haven't really formed much of an opinion on because they either got fired early (Chiles, Scott, and Robert) or were hardly featured in the show (Jemma), so some may be quite low on the list because of that. Mark was okay in the last few episodes, but I've spent the majority of the time disliking him, so he had to 2nd worst behind James. Ironically I like James on CBB, but on TA he was just irritating, aggressive, and really snappy. And out of a good cast like TA10's he stands out as one of the least-worthy characters of the series. But overall as a cast, I don't strongly dislike anybody - even the ones in red.

The final was good to watch. It's my first time watching a final for TA and it was very good. I love how the show is split into two parts. The first being the actual show where the Final 2 launch their businesses and then the second part being the spin-off where they interview the runner-up and the winner. It was nice seeing all the candidates back again, especially the ones that helped the F2 with their businesses. Personally I'd have preferred a Bianca win, but Mark was a good business person. I'll give him that.

I loved the ending where they showed Lord Sugar's favourite moments from the last 10 years and the nice farewell to Nick for leaving the show after 10 years and showing his best bits from the last 10 years. It made a nice ending to a good series imo.

Starting S9 this evening. :amazed:

Just out of curiosity, how long in the advance is a series of The Apprentice filmed before it airs on TV? Is it a few weeks, months, a year?

[LukeB]

From what I know, months.. and they film 2 endings so nothing gets spoiled/leaked about the winner.

[MB.]

Usually around six months (this current series was filmed in April and May) but series 6 was filmed a year before

[TomC]

The last two series were filmed between April and June. So they finished filming about 4 months before it started.

Thanks :love:

I assume the series' that air in March/May are filmed in the autumn of the previous year and the series' that air in October (TA10/11) are filmed in spring of the same year. Interesting.

I read somewhere that the winner is revealed a few days before the final episode airs. Is that true? So they basically wait six months to find out who's won?

[LukeB]

[Jason.]

Like i said before, they film 2 endings(winners) so nothing leaks

I know, but surely the actual winner doesn't know they've been hired till a few days before the transmission of the final episode, right? Cause they can easily spoil it themselves. Does that make sense?

For example, with Mark and Bianca last year. The Final BR and the two filmed endings were in June. But Mark would've been told he was the winner a few days before the final episode aired (so in December). Is that correct?

That's what I meant.

oh :joker: oopz sorry, ahh I don't actually know.

[MB.]

Yeah, Lord Sugar only makes his mind up a few days before transmission - they begin their business in January

[Jason.]

So the F2 basically have to wait 6 months to find out if either one of them has actually won? Welp, what do they do in that 6 months?

I assume the fired candidates have to sign a contract to not mention who the F2 are whilst the show is airing as surely some of them know given some are featured in the last episode to help the F2 with launching their business in the final task.

This is really interesting.

[MB.]

If you've followed Lord Sugar's Twitter account at any point in the last four years then you'll probably know he's got an Apprentice book out, there may be some answers in that

That cat fight in the BR between Uzma and Rebecca :flutter: I liked all 3 in the BR so anyone of them being fired would've upset me. I liked Tim so I'm kind of annoyed he's been fired. Zeeshaan annoys me. Don't like him.

read this if you have watched TA9.. don't want to ruin the eliminations(the order) for Jason.. he knows the final 2 i think

Tim/Sophie/Ezma boots were tragic... Kurt should have been fired over Ezma because he is so moody and he only focused on one thing . i do think Neil was tactical bringing Ezma back in for he 3rd time... give her a break man

[Pete.]

I honestly can't remember most of the men

[LukeB]

Watching Season 9 has made me miss Nick. I hope Karren does not leave

Actually no wait that'd probably mean Claudine would become an advisor, scrap that idea

[MB.]

(Dr Leah, on the other hand...)

[LukeB]

Karren is great

[MB.]

She isn't

Case in point: she has no setting between "well personally this team would have won the task if they'd raised more money/done better/something blindingly obvious that we definitely need Karren to tell us" and "well personally this team would have won the task had they done something which only I have thought of and thus have created an alternate reality in which any rational human being would have done this thing" (an example of that last one being Jenny going into that restaurant and taking the waitress' word for it, rather than demanding to see the manager and beating the **** out of the head chef until he gives you mussels or whatever the hell it was they were supposed to get), oh and in the boardroom she's really petty for someone who's supposed to be completely neutral and oh and she's a Tory twat which I suppose isn't particularly relevant but it's really the cherry on the top of Karren Brady

I mean I liked her on the coach trip task but still

The female cast in this series is actually brilliant and probably my favourite female cast out of the series' I've seen. It's like a female cast in a top-tier series of BB. They're all so bitchy without coming across too unlikable and nasty. I love it. But I find the male cast in this series really lacking. They're all irrelevant and/or none of them really stand out so far. The only one I actually like is Jason because he's hilarious. I liked Tim too, but he left too soon. The male cast of TA10 was far superior imo.

In terms of the BR I like Natalie, but she came across quite annoying and shouty at times, which puts her down in my rankings. I didn't mind Sophie, but she's been sort of irrelevant post the first episode so out of the three, I preferred if she got fired. Uzma <3

[Jason.]

I'm enjoying this series so far. But if I had to compare the first 3 episodes of S10 to the first 3 episodes of S9, I'd probably say TA10 was better. But I've still got another 9 episodes left of the series so my opinions will probably change. But this series is still good.

[LukeB]

good to see Zeeshaan at the bottom of your rankings.

Best episode so far. Really enjoyed it! :love:

Gutted about Uzma's firing </3 I personally thought Kurt was responsible for the failure of the task and he should've been fired. Plus he came across quite annoying too, and he didn't buy everything that Neil told him to, so they had less stock which meant the other sub-team had to buy all of the stock.

I'm not a fan of Jordan tbh. I find him irrelevant and annoying and he certainly confirmed that in this episode. He has a smug demeanor about him too, which I don't like. His reaction to his team winning in the BR was just OTT and embarrassing. Glad Sugar pulled him up on it.

Looking forwards to the next episode - the Dubai one as apparently that's when Leah beings to shine. Off to watch it now. :amazed:

[LukeB]

don't forget Kurt's moody look :fist:

[Jason.]

Yeah he has a face like a smacked ass. Makes me want to punch it.

[Jason.]

My rankings are quite consistent this series. In TA10, they'd change considerably each episode.

[Braden]

Uzma <3 <3

I remember her saying on You're Fired that she was the second highest seller on the team. Lord Sugar was out to get her :(

[Jason.]

Idc Uzma was bullied by the other candidates tbh. Saw her as an easy target to bring back to the BR smh :nono:

Week 4 boots on TA are like Week 8 boots on BB. The good ones / the ones I like always go (actually no they're nothing alike, I'm not keen on most Week 8 boots on BB)

Another amazing episode. :love: This series is starting to get good now, I hope it maintains that. Ngl, but I found it quite hard to get into at first during the first few episodes and part of me was waiting to see what was so good about this series, but I'm beginning to see it now.

Really enjoyed the task, I'm a fan of the logistic type tasks where they have to bring items back and negotiate. It was the same with the Ten Years of Discount Buying task in TA10.

The Boardroom this episode was amazing.

Brilliant result in the BR. Zeeshan getting fired :clap1: Not only because he was a dickhead, but he actually was the sole reason for the failure of the task. And he brought back the wrong people in the BR. I could understand why he brought back Leah but Natalie did nothing wrong. He should've brought Kurt for his error. At first I was scared Natalie would get fired as she was on thin-ice from Week 3, but she stood her ground really well in the BR and clocked Zeeshaan for his ways. I think Leah would've made a much better PM, and she was amazing in this episode. :flutter:

[Jason.]

Rebbecca and Francesca need more airtime tbh. Rebbecca was good at first, but she's been non-existent in the last 2-3 episodes.

Zeeshaan :yuk:

nearly finished episode 7.. they went to Birmingham :amazed:

Zeeshaan :yuk:

Definitely a bottom-5 candidate out of the series' I've seen.

it really annoyed me when he brought Natalie over Kurt.. and he didn't bring up Neil's mistakes just put it all on Leah. Leah and Natalie clocking him for what he is :clap1:

tbh.

I mean I get why he brought Leah back. But Natalie did nothing wrong and Kurt was far more responsible for the failure of the task than Natalie was as he made that measurement error which practically cost them the task. I'm not a fan of people who are too quick to play the sex/race card or w/e but Natalie was spot on with her working with women comment. I mean it is telling that out of a team of like 7 other people, he brings back the 2 women, one of which did nothing wrong over the man (Kurt) who was one of the main reasons of the failure of the task.

I agree, I also think Zeeshaan is that "i want to impress the lads" type of person, Because he comes out with so much bull****

They went to Birmingham :amazed: Jason was amazing in this episode.. hilarious. Nick in the caravan and the teddy falling on him was funny because of his expression. I didn't like Kurt saying let's bring Leah over because of eye candy etc. Glad Nick told Leah about that.

good to see Kurt getting fired..and Natalie getting fired as well was so unfair seeing as Kurt brought her back because he was being tactical about it

Currently re-watching last year's final after realizing I missed out out of my Series 10 re-watch I did a few months back.

Clim-bonleen :laugh:

And I am feeling somewhat nostalgic, last year's series was brilliant to be honest.

It really was. <33

Much better than this years imo.

I'm not sure. I guess you don't have the hindrance of nostalgia which may be clouding my judgement. I'll need to decide for myself after Series 11 has finished! But yeah, Series 11 has felt a bit anti-climactic in some respects, following Series 9 and 10: (some of) the candidates and the boardrooms have just been a bit flat!

Luisa to Jason "you're giving me a headache"

Welp @ you almost finishing the series. I've not even half way yet :whistle:

I've definitely been slacking with my TA9 watch.

[Jason.]

That's how I was like with TA10. :laugh:

I finished the whole series in like 5 days.

Jordan is awful. I don't like him. I find him irrelevant, irritating, and frankly just a knobhead. I hate the smug faces he pulls in the BR when the opposing team does something wrong. I just can't warm to him. I think he's a nuisance.

I like Francesca. I also liked Rebbecca too, but out of the 3 who were in the BR I guess she had to go. </3

[TomC]

Francesca deserved to go in Week 6 IMO. ****e PM. Rebecc was robbed.

Jordan <333333 it all comes together I promise

[MB.]

I think Jordan was about fifth on my end of series rankings so I can kind of vouch for that ish

[LukeB]

ew Jordan :yuk:

[TomC]

Jordan was fantastic entertainment. I didn't particularly like him but he provided many key moments in the series. The only time I didn't like him was when he tag-teamed with Luisa and gunned for Rebecca and Fran in Week 6.

I saw that last night. That's why he's at the bottom of my rankings :laugh:

[Lostie!]

The only time I found anything Jordan-related entertaining was when You're Fired did a funny little segment on his OTT boardroom celebrations, and that was more of an appreciation of You're Fired than him.

[Jason.]

I can't see myself getting to like him tbh. If he's not making me rage, he just comes across as dull and "just there" sort of thing.

[LukeB]

yeah Jordan's smug a lot and he's ****..

[TomC]

:nono: What about him standing up for Jason in Week 1, him asking Lord Sugar if he'd ever tried buffalo, vase-gate, and his performance in his final task? :laugh:
