I've just started watching Series 9, I'm 3 episodes in and I love it :love: Uzma is an amazing reality TV gem <3 The first boardroom was amazing, the bitchiness this series is brilliant :laugh: The only downside to the series so far is the men winning all the challenges since I only like Jason from that side (so far).

[Daniel-X]

Hayden slay it to t'core

[Lostie!]

I really need to watch Series 5 at some point tbh so if I ever do I shall offload all of my thoughts in here! :hee:

[Daniel-X]

The young apprentice is also worth checking out just for

Can't wait though.

Which series? <3 (or is there only one)

And how many episode does the Young Apprentice have?

And how many episode does the Young Apprentice have?

She's in S2 which is the best tbh but S3 is decent also but S2 I think you'd love.

There's only eight episodes so it's EASY to get through <3

(You'll love Gbemi she's a fierce queen and drags the the annoying bastard of the series)

Omg the Young/Junior Apprentice spinoff :lovedup:

[Lostie!]

What happened to your CBB9 re-watch, if I may ask :smug:

I said I'd watch it during off-season, there's months ahead of us yet. :hee:

But yeah that might not happen tbh.

[Firewire]

is that her real face

[TomC]

Happy there's some discussion of TA on here! It's absolutely dead over on DS. I might start S9 just to join in the discussion...

Alex was a great candidate from S9!

[JoshBB]

omg I might rewatch this, I only saw 2/3 episodes of S9 and then forgot about it.

[LemonJam]

Jason is a national treasure. :love:

[Lostie!]

i'm only watching bc of Luisa

She was one of the aspects I didn't like about this series. :whistle:

[Firewire]

She was amazing in CBB

[Headie]

I'm liking Luisa and her catty comments so far <3

But Uzma >>>>

[Daniel-X]

What are your thoughts on goddess Leah Totton (my fave ever TA contestant) :flutter:

[TomC]

What are your thoughts on goddess Leah Totton (my fave ever TA contestant) :flutter:

High five! She's my all-time favourite too! Gabrielle Omar and Saira Khan are my runners up. Leah was such a good candidate.

Leah >> Roisin

[Lostie!]

She was amazing in CBB

I couldn't stand her in either. :worry:

[Ross.]

Another Leah fan here :flutter:

[Lostie!]

Oh, and I LOVED Leah. :love:

I also liked Natalie, she's underrated imo.

[Macie Lightfoot]

Leah is all time, ESPECIALLY for Dubai alone <33333 "we're looking for an OYEEEUUUDDD! OHHH YEEEUHHHH DEE OYYEEEDDD."

[EspeonBB]

Leah is absolutely flawless <333 IDK whether her or Susan are my fave Apprentice candidate of all time

[reece(:]

Leah <33333333
Uzma <33333333
Natalie <3333333
Luisa <3333333

[Samuel.]

Just started series 9 too after that best series thread. 2 episodes in and it's delivering.

The Apprentice is so good :worship:

[Daniel-X]

High five! She's my all-time favourite too! Gabrielle Omar and Saira Khan are my runners up. Leah was such a good candidate.

Leah >> Roisin

I really like both Leah and Roisin tbh both my favourites from their seasons. Leah was a brilliant candidate but was so entertaining at the same time!

Hmmm if I had to pick my second and third favourites I'd say Susan Ma and Luisa. I really like Roisin and Joanna Riley also though. I also really appreciate Uzma, Melody and Natasha Scribbins.

Susan Ma is in my Top 10 and Luisa is in my Top 20! We're doing a ranking game over on DS!

Natasha and Melody were great.

My fave male is James from Series 5.

[Daniel-X]

Hmmm my fave male from the series I have watched is either Tom Gearing from S8 or Jim from S7

Sorry only just seen this I've seen! </3

I've seen from S6 onwards

That's a shame because as a whole I'd say the first five series are better than the second five!

[reece(:]

My fave males are Alex (6), Tre (3) and Steven (10)

I really liked Alex and Steven too... But Tre - nah didn't like him, he had a bad attitude. Although he did have some good lines.

Francesca's bitchy looks to Louisa in ep 4 <333

Mess @ the football celebrations

[Headie]

Nooooo Uzma </333

I knew it was coming and I knew you wouldn't like it! God, Series 9 was literally so good thinking back. Most of the episodes were all extremely memorable

It's been good but I'm wondering how it's gonna maintain it's standard since all the women are being picked off and all the men are really boring so far except Jason.

My faves right now are Rebecca, Louisa, Francesca and Jason (and maybe Natalie).

I wouldn't call Zee and Alex boring by any means! And there is character development to come for many of the males so don't lose hope.

When will you watch Episode 5?

Alex feels a bit cringey to watch at times and Zee irks me a bit tbh.

My least faves are Kurt, Miles, Neil and the guy who cheered like a football hooligan (he's so irrelevant I've forgot his name)

I've been watching one a day so that I'll finish just as the new series starts! <3 I'm looking forward to ep 5 since I love the search and find tasks!

[Daniel.]

James remains the greatest AP contestant ever, just as he remains the greatest BBUK housemate ever thus making him the greatest reality TV contestant of all time
:clap1:

(before I get accused of trolling, im not, it's my genuine opinion)

[EspeonBB]

Omg episode 5 is a classic <3333

Neil and the hooligan guy (Jordan) do become more interesting in the upcoming episode(s). You have 8 episodes left and there are 12 days to go!

It's not just any search and find task! It is a classic TA episode as someone else said!

[Lostie!]

I watched some Series 5 clips on Youtube last night and now I really want to watch it. :laugh:

What do people here who've seen it think of that series?

Really good :clap1: Debra, Yasmina and Lorraine <3

[EspeonBB]

Jordan was a mess, I liked him. I think the male cast is fairly good, although a lot of them don't shine until they get eliminated. The only men I wasn't here for were Zee and Neil

[TomC]

I re-watched it about a week or two ago and it was only then I fully realised what a fantastic series it is. Almost every person is either a big character or has some kind of storyline, and the firing order is almost perfect! How will you watch it?

[Headie]

Yas :love: Leah really shines that ep <3

Good I'm waiting for her to get more airtime since she's been left out in the edit so far </3

[Firewire]

series 9 has been delayed

[Firewire]

ok i started series 9

[Macie Lightfoot]

Jordan was a mess, I liked him. I think the male cast is fairly good, although a lot of them don't shine until they get eliminated. The only men I wasn't here for were Zee and Neil

Jason is godly and Jordan and Kurt are both hilar as well. The other dudes are my bottom five for the season :3

[Firewire]

loved the first episode of s9

luisa, leah and uzma <3333

[Headie]

Screaming @ Leah dragging Zee in ep 5

I feel like the edit is setting Zee up for an elimination :laugh:

[Ross.]

James remains the greatest AP contestant ever,

no

[Headie]

"Don't put yer hand in ma face"

Leah is my fave now <333 I think Zee has just sealed his own fate bringing back Natalie rather than Kurt

[Headie]

SCREAMING @ Natalie and Leah accusing Zee of sexism and misogyny :joker:

[Headie]

They just left him sitting there omfg :joker:

Leah and Natalie are my top 2 now :love: I wish Uzma had been given a second chance tho

[Pete.]

Dubai is where Lea shone

[Headie]

I presume this is based purely on likability? Either way I am surprised as Natalie was neither likable nor competent haha. Total banshee, and her crying in the boardroom was a bit pathetic. The way she was in Episode 2 towards Rebecca, Uzma in Episode 3, and Zee in Episode 5 was just like a vicious attack. Don't know how you can rate Natalie second :yuk:

Episode 6 is another classic! Enjoy that one.

[reece(:]

Natalie eternal <3

I found her hilarious in ep 3 and in ep 5, I think she's entertaining :laugh:

Mess @ Sugar sending 3 asians home in a row and all the POCs out by ep 5. Still loving the series though!

Well she's a mess, and some people like that I guess :laugh:

I know right haha about the Asians. But tbf he had good reason to send all of them home.

When will you watch Week 6?


On another note, the Series 11 candidates should be revealed tomorrow or the day after! Buzzin'

EDIT: The Apprentice Twitter have just confirmed it WILL be tomorrow!

Natalie turning it up for the BR was hilarious, not to mention that she and Leah were completely correct about Zee. Vicious or not, they basically lost the task bc he treated them like second class citizens and wouldn't let them do anything.

[Headie]

Lmao @ Leah in ep 6

"Tell Alex to have a wee bit of respect!"
"Sumo Wrestling is distasteful"

[Headie]

Alex is awful

Why do all the males suck except Jason

[Headie]

Rebecca </3

Can the guys all just leave already!

[TomC]

Lmao @ Leah in ep 6

"Tell Alex to have a wee bit of respect!"

Leah was hilair in this one as well! I hope there's a candidate like her in the reveal tomorrow.

Rebecca </3

Can the guys all just leave already!

Tbf Rebecca should definitely have stayed... They probably would have been fined even more had she not hired the speaker. Fran should have gone, she was pretty awful that week.

I think there was a good case for Jordan to go too, as he was the financier, which they lost the task on..

[Headie]

Yeah I wanted Jordan gone, then out of the 3 brought back, Fran.

Leah, Natalie, Luisa and Jason are my top 4. I need Alex, Neil and Jordan out ASAP!

[TomC]

How can you not like Neil :shrug: Didn't you appreciate his gut-wrenching speech :nono:

Who is your guess to go next?

[Headie]

I think Natalie will go next </3 But praying it's any of the guys except Jason tbh. The female cast this series is amazing, it's a shame half of them are gone before the halfway point.

[TomC]

It was a great cast all round IMHO. My only criticism with the females is that they looked a bit too similar.

I don't really get your hatred for the males! Alex and Jason were TV gold.

[Headie]

I'm gonna watch ep 7 now I think!

Death @ the Hunger Games soundtrack playing at the start of ep 7

Natalie getting fired over dirty tactics </3 Glad Kurt is gone.

[Headie]

Apparently the black woman, Adenike, from Series 1 passed away in 2011. She collapsed at a meeting :(

I'll probably watch Series 1 next so it'll be quite sad knowing she has passed. RIP.

I was screaming when Natalie is on the verge of tears and then Kurt says 'so you start crying and I get fobbed off' and then she says 'no I am not crying, I'm actually Angry!!' :laugh:

Episode 8 is another absolute classic. Both campaigns are hilariously bad.

Yeah it's quite sad. Her and Stu Baggs are the only TA candidates to have died. I'm interested as to what you think of Series 1. It's one of the best and has some of the best storylines and funnies moments in the show's history. I think you'll have to be quite open-minded going from Series 9/10 to 1, as the feel of the show was really quite different back then, and the show in my opinion massively evolved in the first 6 series and hasn't really changed since.

[Headie]

Lmao @ Luisa and Jason's bickering over a logo :joker:

[Headie]

Welp @ a PM swap mid-challenge

[Headie]

Francesca: MY input was a problem??? You know what, bring me back in the boardroom!"

:worship:

[Headie]

Jason </3

I literally only like Leah, Luisa and Francesca out of the final 7. Alex, Neil and Jordan are awful. I don't mind Miles but that's because he's irrell as hell

[TomC]

Episode 8 was such a good one!

Francesca did seem overly angry in the boardroom though...

Felt a bit sorry for Jason! He was just so out of his depth and lucky to have gotten so far!

[reece(:]

Yeah I found that pretty random tbh. He did it with Roisin as well in Series 10 which I also disagreed with. Do you know who wins?

Week 10 is good for the reason that it;s back to boys vs girls!

[Headie]

No I don't know anything about the series <3

Excited for Boys vs Girls again, I prefer it that way tbh

[Pete.]

The interviews & final are great :flutter:

Tru dat

[Firewire]

Just finished episode 5. LOVING series 9. Great episode :clap1:

[Firewire]

Leah is so iconic

[Headie]

Perched for the interviews next episode :flutter: Jordan has grown on me slightly with the ceramic vase :joker: But Neil is still awful. I'll be happy with any combination of a Leah/Francesca/Luisa Final 2 :fc:

[Marsh.]

When is the new series?

[TomC]

No I don't know anything about the series <3

Excited for Boys vs Girls again, I prefer it that way tbh

When is the new series?

Wednesday and Thursday next week and then each subsequent Wednesday.

[TomC]

The final is really good too. Two really interesting business plans!

[Headie]

Screaming @ Francesca lying about £5 million profit in her business plan

"It was just the number 5 that came into my head" :joker:

[reece(:]

UTR breakout star Fran <3

[Headie]

Yass @ the female final 3! I'll be happy with whoever wins now, just glad Neil didn't win as I really thought the edit was setting him up for the win

[Pete.]

I screamed at Fran in the final

[Headie]

Fran's bitchy squinty faces <333

[Headie]

This is the best final 2 ever <333

Rooting for Leah but happy with either winning.

Uzma back for the finale <3

[Headie]

That was such a messy episode. It's the only flaw of the format tbh, the fact that Jordan and Neil have survived plenty of times over other candidates when they had 0% chance of winning because of their business plans is just stupid.

They should do the interviews in Week 1 tbh and weed out any of the ones that have no shot at winning.

Leah talking at 100mph at Claude in the interviews :love:

[Firewire]

screaming at Leah yawning at the friendship + flowers advert

[Firewire]

Finished episode 8. I'm addicted.

Luisa has peaked now but Leah is still rising <3

Alex next out pls :fc:

There are no Season 6 or 7 links/torrents anywhere, which sucks as I was gonna watch one of those next. But I'll just watch Season 1, 2, 3 or 4 next instead since they're uploaded in good quality in full on YouTube.

Which is the best out of the first 4? (or is there anywhere with S6/S7 links)

1, 3, and 4 are all excellent. But I'd start with 1. Are 3 and 4 all up? I thought they'd been taken down.

Didn't watch past like the first 5 minutes in the end because I got caught up with stuff but I'm gonna return to it soonish (tomorrow probably). And nope, first time watch. I've only watched Series 6 onwards so I'd like to go back and watch those I haven't seen. :)

Screaming @ ep 2's boardroom and all the screaming businesswomen :joker:

Welp @ Laura changing her mind on who to bring back
Iconic boardroom

[Headie]

Sandeesh ignoring the PM's ingredient orders <333

[TomC]

Eugh S6 sucks IMO. Series 1 >

How far are you in Series 6 now?

[Headie]

Just finished episode 4.

"Well done for ganging up on me you horrible people" :joker:

[reece(:]

S6 is iconic!

[Headie]

Gonna watch Episode 5 now. I'll miss Melissa but rooting for Joanna/Laura/Sandeesh/Paloma at the moment! <3

[TomC]

S6 is iconic!

Really? It had no storylines or anything, and Baggs really overshadowed everyone. I found it very difficult to root for a candidate

It's in my Bottom 3 with Series 8 and Series 10.

[Headie]

I'm enjoying it so far! <3

[Headie]

Paloma fired </3

Come thru Joanna and Sandeesh!

[reece(:]

Paloma/Joanna/Sandeesh/Laura were my favs

[Headie]

Alex shouting in the boardroom :laugh: "WHEN!!!"

Sandeesh surviving another boardroom, iconic bottom 3 goddess :love:

[reece(:]

Lmao Alex <3

[Headie]

I;m watching episode 7 now and I really can't stand Stuart. It's sad that he passed away tho :( I thought I'd be a fan based on how iconic he supposedly is to the show but he's really irritating so far.

Joanna dragging Stuart's driving video <333

[Headie]

After I'm done with S6 I'm gonna go back to S1 and then I'll watch S7 after that. Are there any other series worth watching other than these (I've already seen 9, 10 and the current one).

[Headie]

Noooo Sandeesh </3

Joanna and Laura ftw!

[TomC]

Stuart was super annoying in Episode 7. 'I'm having to curb my extremism masculinity here' or words to that effect. And it may have been that episode where he was really obnoxious on the champagne tasting reward :laugh:

[TomC]

After I'm done with S6 I'm gonna go back to S1 and then I'll watch S7 after that. Are there any other series worth watching other than these (I've already seen 9, 10 and the current one).

IMHO, all of them. They are all good in different ways. If you wanted a select few though, I'd say 3, 4 and 5 are staples, with 2 being not far behind, and 8 is a bit below par. But yeah, if I were to rank the other five, it would go:

Series 3 and 4
Series 5
Series 2
Series 8

I'd watch it S1, S7, S3, S4, S5

[Headie]

Lmao @ Joanna on the bus tours :joker:

"You're scaring me the way you're acting Jamie you're acting like a mad man. Can you calm down please???"

[LukeB]

Joanna :love:

[Headie]

God I hate Stuart so much, this is his worst episode in terms of his smugness and being an irritant

[Headie]

Mess @ Stella's tours

[reece(:]

S6 females <3

[Headie]

Joanna crying @ her elimination </3 My heart is broken </3

Stella FTW I guess. Glad Stuart was called out for his BS :clap1:

[LukeB]

Joanna's elimination </3 glad you stan her Hayden :clap1:

[Headie]

Mess @ the controversies of this series according to Wikipedia

Controversy
Candidates
Christopher Farrell
Before the series aired, it was reported that in September 2009, Christopher Farrell had admitted to two charges of possessing an offensive weapon after police discovered an extendable baton and knuckle-duster in his car following allegations he had hit his wife with one of the weapons. Farrell was re-arrested on 4 August 2010 and bailed until 27 October 2010 on charges of fraud with regard to alleged financial irregularities relating to a false representation made via cheque or credit card. Farrell was fired from his job at Mortgages4Plymouth over the alleged fraud and was believed to have gone into hiding in Spain. The Sun newspaper reported that Farrell had been sacked from a previous mortgage company in Saltash, Cornwall for misconduct after viewing internet pornography.

Joanna Riley & Shibby Robati
Contestant Joanna Riley was found to have been convicted for racially abusing three taxi drivers in October 2005, while it was also alleged that contestant Shibby Robati had received a string of complaints while working as a junior doctor for St George's Healthcare NHS Trust; the latter received a formal warning from the General Medical Council for "unprofessional behaviour".

Results
Week Four
In week four, Teams Synergy and Apollo drew in the two biggest sales figures in the show's history at the time, yet the show drew criticism from viewers after it was revealed that the orders placed in the programme were not genuine.

All the series queens are back in the finale <3

[Headie]

Stella winning <333

I loved this series, Joanna and Laura are in my top 10 of all time candidates so far :love:

Idk whether to take a break from The Apprentice now or just move on to S1 straight away... I'm thinking maybe the latter :laugh:

[TomC]

Stella winning <333

Stella has shown her true colours since the series if you do some research... She is a big mess.

Go watch Series 1!

[reece(:]

Joanna and Laura <333333

[Headie]

Idk whether to watch S1 or S7 now, I'm undecided :laugh:

[Headie]

Ok I'm gonna go with S7 since I think I know less spoilers about that series than I do S1

[Lostie!]

Definitely think I'll get started on Series 1 soon. Series 11 is depressing me. :laugh:

[Headie]

Lmao @ Edna's power trip over the costing of vegetables <333

[reece(:]

Melody and Susan :love:

[Pete.]

and Helen :love:

[Headie]

Just finished the first ep, I really liked it and the male cast seems good this series too compared to other series.

My early faves are Melody, Edna, Susan and the blonde northern woman (idk ha name). I liked Edward for his messiness, sad he was first boot </3

[LukeB]

no rankings?

[Headie]

Eugh she was bland af.

Series 7 was a good series. Omg Edward 'not only was I the youngest but I was the shortest'. :D 'Roll with the punches'. :joker:

I liked Melody. She is quite marmite though.

Series 7 is probably my fifth favourite series. But it doesn't properly lift off until Episode 6 and it has a bad ending IMO. :omgno:

[Pete.]

Eugh she was bland af.

I didn't think so, she's easily the best candidate the show has ever had

[Pete.]

Oops forgot about Enigma Edna :love:

[TomC]

I didn't think so, she's easily the best candidate the show has ever had

In terms of competence I'd agree with you. But in terms of likeability, no!

[Headie]

Welp I can't find any links for ep 2, I'm just gonna have to skip it and watch the recap at the start of ep 3 instead

[TomC]

Episode 2's not very good anyway :hehe:

[Headie]

Enda won as PM? <333

Lol bye Alex

[Headie]

Susan winning by £8 <3333

My top 3 faves have all won the first 3 tasks as PM <333 (Melody, Edna and Susan)

[Headie]

Another good episode, my faves after 3 episodes are Susan, Edna, Melody, Ellie and Natasha <3

The males have been disappointing even though they were promising in ep 1.

[Lostie!]

I'm watching the very first episode of Series 1 atm and I just recognised Adenike's name from when I heard about her dying a few years ago. :sad: </3

[Headie]

I've been slacking with my S7 rewatch, I'll probably watch ep 4 today

[Lostie!]

I don't know why but Paul's reminding me of BB14 Dexter a little. :laugh:

[Pete.]

I HATED Paul

[TomC]

Yeah, terrible chauvinist. But also great entertainment.

[Lostie!]

I quite liked Paul in the first episode, but I just know I'll go off him. :laugh:

[Headie]

I'm finding Series 7 really boring tbh. I only like 4 people (Susan, Ellie, Melody and Edna) and the latter two don't seem to be getting much airtime at the moment. I might just take a break from TA for a bit and do a BB rewatch :laugh:

[MB.]

It's been 2 and a half years in the making but I've finally (pretty much*) finished The Apprentice series 9:

1. Dr Leah
2. Luisa

6. Jason
7. Natalie
8. Uzma
9. Neil
10. Jaz
11. Rebecca
12. Myles
13. Sophie
14. Alex
15. Kurt
16. Zeeshitdick

*by pretty much I mean that I was one or two episodes off finishing when YouTube handily decided to shut down the channel that had all the episodes on it but I get the gist of what happened since I knew the results anyway so yeah

[MB.]

I'm currently 6/8 of the way through Young Apprentice 3 (god bless whoever decided there would only be eight episodes) and you shall find out my not-very-detailed opinions on this shortly

[MB.]

5. Steven
6. Patrick
7. Alice
8. Andrew
9. Max
10. Amy

Something like that?

[reece(:]

Which one had queen Gbemi?

[MB.]

Series 2 (this is the only one I've watched, mind)

[Lostie!]

I might watch Series 5 soon. I've been saying so for roughly a million years so I really should tbh.

[MB.]

So Andrew from Young Apprentice 3 has just turned up on some gameshow I'm watching, get money bitch

[Jason.]

Started watching TA10 for the first time.

[MB.]

Well #NURUNNATION lasted didn't it

[Jason.]

The Apprentice 10 (2014)
Episode 1


Steven
Sarah
Bianca
Robert
Roisin
Nurun
James
Ella Jade
Jemma
Daniel
Mark
Sanjay
Pamela
Lauren
Solomon
Chiles
Lindsay
Katie
Scott
Felipe


The ones in orange are pretty much interchangeable as most of them hardly received any airtime so I don't have much of an opinion on them yet.

[Lostie!]

Your top two :flutter:

[MB.]

Well #NURUNNATION lasted didn't it

(this post would have made more sense if you hadn't deleted your original post and then re-posted it with Nurun higher up your rankings) (or am I going mad)

[Jason.]

Your top two :flutter:

Steven is brilliant. :flutter: His tirade in the BR when Felipe and Chiles were scapegoating him which resulted in Alan telling him to shut up and then later in the house arguing again with another person "LET ME SPEAK..."

:joker:

[Jason.]

(this post would have made more sense if you hadn't deleted your original post and then re-posted it with Nurun higher up your rankings) (or am I going mad)

I posted it again because the list was messed up in my original post. The rankings are still the same.

[Jason.]

and #NURUNNATION is still amazing. She's PM in Week 2, so hopefully she gets more airtime and will rise in my rankings <3

[MB.]

I posted it again because the list was messed up in my original post. The rankings are still the same.

Jason, the edit button, the edit button, Jason

[Jason.]

Jason, the edit button, the edit button, Jason

Yeah, but the list was embarrassingly messed up, so I deleted it before someone quoted it. :laugh: (and are you seriously more concerned about me deleting/editing a post, I've finally started S10 ffs, discuss)

[Jason.]

I'm not looking forwards to that Week 4 triple firing which culls both Sarah and Steven </3

Does the series go downhill afterwards?

[MB.]

Jason

Jason

Jason why did you not edit your post Jason

[TomC]

I'm not looking forwards to that Week 4 triple firing which culls both Sarah and Steven </3

Does the series go downhill afterwards?

No it doesn't IMO. The big rivalry begins and new characters come to the forefront.

[MB.]

It's also a bonus when Sarah returns in week 9 and Nikkis her way to the final

[Pete.]

The series is consistently good imo

[Pete.]

I can't for the life of me remember Robert

[Pete.]

Oh him

[Lostie!]

I tried to start watching Series 5 earlier, had to give up roughly halfway through episode 1 because the only link I can find is pretty shoddy. :idc:

[Jason.]

kwl x

[MB.]

The series is consistently good imo

.

(I mean not like series 9 levels of good but I'd say it stays the same if not improves in the latter weeks?)

[TomC]

.

(I mean not like series 9 levels of good but I'd say it stays the same if not improves in the latter weeks?)


I second this. Skeletongate is messy though.

[Jason.]

Just finished Episode 2 and 3.

I'll post my rankings later. But yeah, I'm really enjoying this series so far. And I heard it gets better <3 Ngl, it makes the current series (TA11) look bland in comparison, especially when you compare the first 3 weeks. I think last years candidates are better than this years tbh. Having said that, I'm still enjoying the current series :laugh:
