The Apprentice 2026 Discussion Thread [Thursdays 9PM BBC1]

[Benjamin]

Teasers keep dropping, no confirmed start date yet.

[Zizu]

I gave up on this program

They all seem to be either completely inept or odiously obnoxious … sometimes both

[Benjamin]

The boardroom isn’t in London for the first time in history. It’s not even in the UK!

It’s in Hong Kong.

Why the change ??

The wife was watching the two Christmas Midwife episodes a few days ago and they seemed to be set in China or Japan !!!??!?

Yes makes tasks harder

[Ammi]

The Apprentice returns to iPlayer and BBC One from Thursday 29 January from 9pm and, for the first time ever, the boardroom will take place in Hong Kong for episode one.

…I think that the Hong Kong boardroom is just for the first episode…?…

The people vying for Lord Sugar's investment will be revealed in due course, but we can confirm there will be 20 candidates to mark the 20th series.

All I edited was the last part from ‘starts 29th’ to ‘tonight’ earlier this evening. The rest has stayed the same. Have some bloody patience.

How would I know you were editing the title

[Benjamin]

How would I know you were editing the title

Why would I start a discussion thread if I didn’t intend to update it. You know me well enough by now to know this.

Then have some patience. :laugh:

[Benjamin]

I feel like I’m going to dislike most of these. I gave up last year, so will see how I feel after this episode.

[Benjamin]

Both teams doing terribly

[Benjamin]

Karishma so far the saving grace of the dire girls team.

[Benjamin]

Both teams deserve to have somebody fired.

[MTVN]

The boys all celebrating while Lord Sugar is absolutely raging :joker:

They were just as shite. Surprised he didn’t fire one of them.

[Benjamin]

I reckon Georgina is getting fired too.

[Benjamin]

That was a really disappointing first episode. Don’t think I’ll stick with this.

[Vanessa]

I'm absolutely loving it. This lot is so hopeless :joker:

[Ammi]

…it was so frustrating to watch, they just had no sense of where they were or what they were looking for…:laugh:…

The ladies were very disorganized and even lost their driver :laugh:
The men slightly better, bit more organized.

…that bit was actually very funny because we all knew that he wasn’t going to be there …:laugh:..

Just watched it back , Georgina was almost in tears ... this whole process isn't for her. Was the right decision to fire the PM & Sub, but both the boys and girls were useless and messy.

It just so happened,the girls were just more disastrous and clueless. Hence why the boys won instead.

It's the first time ,I've ever seen a team arrive that late at the final destination. It was night time!! :skull: :facepalm: , and everyone else had gone .

Also I get the impression Sugar springs these international trip on them out the blue ?. Surely it would have made more sense if the candidates could prepare ,and actually speak the language whilst in Hong Kong . There was a few language barrier awkward cringe moments, they were just running around asking random locals " Do you speak English" ,oh dear.

[Vanessa]

Great episode sp far. Love how messy this lot is :joker:

[Ammi]

…I actually thought that Rajan was about to say…‘I’ll put myself forward as Project Manager because I was raised as a chicken…’….but he was raised in a fish n chip shop is what he said…raised as a chicken might have sounded interesting on his CV though…

[GoldHeart]

I'm always surprised at how they mis calculate & fumble their equation skills , how do these people have their own businesses!?? :facepalm: . I'm not the best at maths ,but I'm also not strutting about on The Apprentice bragging about being a successful entrepreneur :skull: .
