:(

[Pete.]

A trashy decision

[MB.]

"He made us fight for our lives"

A UKIP tea

[Pete.]

You're Fired still a thing?

[caprimint]

Right decision :clap1:

Michelle was annoying as hell and literally just pinned the blame onto anyone who argued with her (firstly Alana, then Rebecca in the boardroom when she stood up against her).

[Ross.]

Loved that :clap1:

I was cackling at Jessica and her pretending to almost drop things, "Catch!" :joker: she'll be taken from us too soon though sob

[Calderyon]

Girls team was abysmal in the task and deserved to lose. The Boys team beat them with a very convincing fashion. And Michelle was the right one to be fired.

[Jason.]

Enjoyed the first episode :clap1:

Michelle shouldn't have been fired though </3 Rebecca should've gone instead tbh. She serves useless candidate like Natalie from last year.

[Firewire]

Ew I hate Rhod Gilbert

[Ross.]

Bye you all leave Rebeccalegend alone

[Jordan.]

I liked Rebecca she was just the sacrificial lamb out of the 3

[TomC]

Just finished the first episode, I'm very optimistic for Series 12, seems like there's lots of interesting characters!

[Black Dagger]

Michelle is no loss for me.

Literally every guy is garbage though, bar sausage man at a push.

[TomC]

Michelle is no loss for me.

Literally every guy is garbage though, bar sausage man at a push.

Really? There doesn't seem to be as many basic car salesmen this year.

[jennyjuniper]

A good start. Usually there are at least a couple of females I root for, but I'm finding it difficult to feel any liking for any of them at the moment. The one who kept pretending to drop things could be very irritating. As for the guys, the one with one long eyebrow is the most unlikeable so far.

[caprimint]

Michelle is no loss for me.

And we all know why you think that :idc:

[Nicky91]

Alana is so likeable :hee:

[reece(:]

Enjoyed the first episode :clap1:

Not P!nk

[DrunkerThanMoses]

Very good opening, seems more promising then last years.

Glad rebecca stayed, I like her and think she has the under-dog appeal now, hope she does well

[Crimson Dynamo]

The girls were abject. No negotiations no basic understanding of value and no common sense. Dreadful bunch

[caprimint]

@James @Josy

If y'all could update The Apprentice cast when you get chance so we can set our profile favourites that would be great :love:

[Shaun]

why is jessica the forum favourite when she's made the same "lol catch!" joke with the antiques an estimated 48 times in this episode?

[Ross.]

She's my fave for that exact reason

[Shaun]

my faves are:

- woman who looked really proud of coming up with the name Nebula (apparently Aleksandra)
- Karthik for asking permission to hug some bloke's girlfriend
- Rebecca (bc sweepstakes)
- Courtney for being pretty
- and Alana for taking the rejection of her team name well

on the other hand i kinda hate dillon st. paul already and want him dead

[Epic.]

Oliver is like Jason from series 9 so I'm automatically a fan

Grainne seems fairly competent. I'm expecting a lot from her in future.

Karthik is like BB17 Chelsea Singh so I'll probably be a fan of him while he gets OTT hate on this forum.

Sofiane seems like he'll know what he's doing.

Natalie comes across like she'll be funny but probably leave Week 4-6.

Frances was so incompetent in the first episode yet never got punished for it <3

Samuel seems smart.

Alessandra comes across like she'll be one of the stronger candidates and this is the same woman good at cat noises. She's basically good at everything.

Jessica is just a delight. She'll either be fired next week or last extremely long via her being on a team with a winning streak due to them having stronger candidates (just like Scot last yet)

[Jamie89]

Watching ep 1 now... Jessica: "helloooooooo" :laugh3:... I think I'm going to love her :fc:

[Jamie89]

"I'm the female version of Jim Carrey"... I was thinking David Brent myself :laugh:

[Jamie89]

And I think I'm going to hate the guy who wanted to name the team "Upper Echelon"

[Jamie89]

Not sure I like this task, how are they supposed to know how much everything is worth? I can't see where the skill is in it.

[Pete.]

[Marsh.]

Omg Jessica. :laugh2:

[Marsh.]

"Hellloooo!!"

:joker:

[Jamie89]

Rebecca seems awful :umm2: That convo about how low she's allowed to take the price was embarrassing

[Jamie89]

Not bothered about Michelle being fired but I think I'd have preferred Rebecca to go.
It was an ok first episode but the task was a bit bland, a basic selling task (when they're not even going to know how much the items are worth) wasn't the most interesting way to start the series. Hoping for some more imaginative tasks.

[Marsh.]

*Loses task due to selling less than the other team*

"I am not responsible for the failure of this task. The task was not about selling!"

[GoldHeart]

Jessica is as mad as a box of frogs!!! :laugh: seriously it's like she's full of energy drinks , and she's already clashing with Trishna who kept giving her daggers lol . ohh this show always entertains me . I agree Michelle didn't communicate well with her team as project manager so it's no great loss really :idc:

[jennyjuniper]

Not sure I like this task, how are they supposed to know how much everything is worth? I can't see where the skill is in it.

They had time with an expert beforehand, who pointed out what he deemed 'valuable' or worth selling to trade rather than on the market. How much of his advice sunk in though is another matter.

[_Tom_]

Jessica is an immediate fave <3 and Karthik is an early fave as well <3

It was an OK episode, a fairly disappointing start if I'm honest, hoping tonight's is better.
