The Apprentice 2007
 

Starting soon-ish
cant wait - hope there some good people on like last time

I think it will start in just 2 weeks time, hopefully. I'll just check my TV Schedule...

I watched some of the last series, and I watched the Comic Relief special last night. I really enjoyed it, so I'll tune in for the first episode and see what I think.

I think it will start on Wednesday 28th March, at 9.00pm on BBC One. So, hopefully the 14 business people will actually have skills, as well as entertainment.
In Series 1, they all had great business skills and talents. Even though Series 2 was a little bit more entertaining, half of them shouldn't have been on the show.

I didn't watch any of the past series, so I can't say anything, but I hope they're really good.

i watched series 2 and enjoyed it so ill be watching series 3

I hope it's not like last years fiasco.

I bet it'll start on 4th April - when I'm in Germany, haha! :tongue:

It's always my luck with these kind of things! :laugh:

I have watched both series 1 and 2... I'll definitely be tuning in.

It's a very classy programme Imo, all the atmospheric music, the production, helps to keep the show's top-notch standard.

A lot of it is staged though, like "The Boardroom" is in a TV studio, and the week 1-12 etc, isn't the exact time span, just means that it shouldn't be taken too seriously.

lol
i think tey should be a mix this year

but there was some good people last time - Ruth

I cant get into The Apprentice, i just think its so boring. Even the Comic Reilef one was dull.

16 candidates is a lot to handle with, and if there will only be 12 airing weeks, then there will have to be double firings! :bigsmile:
But trust me, The Apprentice will be good this year, so please watch it. It airs in just 1 week, at 9.00pm on BBC One.

This is the third time that we have a Paul in The Apprentice UK.

The BBC website has been updated, saying "coming soon"...

http://www.bbc.co.uk/apprentice/

Just 4 days to go until we see them. The website has now been fully updated, and you can view each of the 16 candidates' profiles.

3 Days To Go! :colour:

I just can't wait until Wednesday night, it will be fantastic. Come on, nobody realy posts on this thread, so calling ALL APPRENTICE fans here! This is the thread for all Apprentice shows and pre-news and gossip. Latest: Tim has quit!
I know, it really is shocking. First Michelle from S2 quits, now Tim from S1 quits. I think they just need to realise how tough this is, and see this as a game.

Andy probably was the best 1 to go but i dont like either of the 2other girls so I hope they go soon. Trey(I think) looks an handful and Adam is the 1 from Blackburn so ill be cheering him on

I think Andy was the right choice to go, although Sophie wasn't half as innocent as she tried to make out.

Andy was just too nice, and trusting. He should've took the bull by the horns, and kept a beady eye on what everyone was doing. They also lacked any sort of planning.

However, the downward spiral started, in my eyes, once Andy was forced into the PM role by the others: he should've spoken up and offered Adam the role, who actually wanted it.

It's far to early to say, but almost all of them seem far to cocky about their own abilities. I can see Tre, Simon and Rory becoming annoying for the men, and I don't take to Gerri or Sophie, either.

Tre could be another Syed IMO. I dont like those 2 girls either Tom

i watched this on wednesday and i liked it i am going to watch it this week

Jadine. Nasty piece of work.

They stiched Andy up and he wasn't bright enough to even contemplate it would happen. I love this show. They all think they're such hot sh*t only to find they dont quite have what its takes. Great TV.

I watched a recording and enjoyed the start to the series. I always noticed how the most prominent members of the teams - with the biggest personalities - are always making the worst business decisions.

Alan Sugar probably didn't see Andy ever winning the competition so that's why he fired him.

Mods, here's the other Apprentice thread.

There will be a double firing on Wednesday...

Really!? Where'd you find that out from? :shocked:

- You might want to put that in a spoiler, so that those who don't want to know don't have to! :thumbs:

i am glad he went
he wasa right prat - thinking he's all that


was a good challege

Here are the Apprentice's ratings so far:

28th March - 5.0 million
4th April - 4.7 million

Series 3 is averaging at 4.8 million.

haha i must be some million because i didnt watch it last night. I didnt recognise the 2 who went out though so they must not have been very good

That Rory was a complete t**t.

Tre is annoying and argumentative, but most of the points he was making were good ones. Rory just wanted a compliant little team, who would not dare question anything he said. His idea was rubbish and Tre was the one who had the guts to say it to his face (for all the good it did).

Tre is so annoying but i was glad Rory went-he was to posh and snobby!

Lohit is a complete nobody. He hasn't talked very much, and he isn't given enough air time.
Now that there are 13 candidates, I hope actually says something useful.

hilarious episode. First it was ifti for the shifty, then Rory had to go. I like Tre. He could be great entertainment

Exactly. I think Tre should be kept in at all costs, because he will be the most entertaining one of the lot. Well apart from Jadine, who disturbs me on so many levels.

Jadine is very scary.

For once the women are united. That means the boys are in trouble.

Edit: Gazal. She's Purrty.

For those that are interested there is a podcast for the programme:

It was a bit unfair that the boys' team won orders from two out of three of the retailers but still lost when the third retailer was worth so much more. The tip about selling the hardest to the big retailer would be alright in normal business circumstances but in this task they didn't have an option but to pitch to all three retailers.

lol at the Rambo belt - no-one's ever going to use that, the dog cabinet was an okay novelty item I suppose.
