The Apprentice - Unpopular Opinions Thread
 
I got this idea from DS, as there's a thread about it on their TA sub-forum. Basically just share all your opinions on The Apprentice (it can be from any series) that may be seen as controversial, unpopular, or different to the majority.

I've only seen TA9 onwards, but here are mine:

1) Pamela from TA10 was an awful candidate. All she did was moan about the PM and never took any responsibility for her own actions. Every series has that one person who moans and bitches about the PM without doing **** all themselves, and she was that one person. Same way Elle was in the first few weeks of the recent series (but unlike Pamela, she won me over in the end). I also found Pamela to be quite unlikable and whiny. Her bringing Daniel back to the BR in the Board Game task for personal reasons just confirmed my dislike for her. She blamed him for the failure of the task, when he did everything she told him to. She tried to scapegoat him because she didn't like him. (Sorry MB. this had to be said) Which brings me on to my next point...

2) I thought Daniel was a great character. Sure, he was delusional, cocky and not as good as selling as he made out he was, but I think that was part of his appeal imo. I can understand why people would dislike him though.

3) Lauren from the same series is criminally underrated. I thought she was brilliant. She was smart, professional and likable. And I personally think she was victim to the obligatory "she doesn't do much" scapegoating in the BR, just like Natalie and Uzma were the year before.

4) I don't think Selina is as bad of candidate as she is made out to be. Yeah, she may be unlikable to some (which I perfectly understand) but I don't think she was a weak candidate in terms of business. She showed business acumen and was competent (she won both tasks she was PM in). I often found that she also made some good points and spoke sense, but the people in her team often dismissed her ideas just because they disliked her - Vana in the France task being a prime example of this.

5) I thought Aisha from this series had way more potential and Natalie should've been fired instead as she was utterly useless. Yeah, her dictatorial leadership and her mistakes were responsible for the failure of that particular task, but a week later Vana was an awful PM, and look how far she went.

6) April and Sam from the recent series are overrated. Apart from her hilarious Week 1 flop with her £1.87 profit (:joker:), April faded into the background really quickly from then on and didn't do much at all till her firing in Week 6. And with Sam, I see him being high on a lot of people's rankings, I don't see what's so special tbqh. I found him bland...nice enough guy, but bland. I personally think most of his popularity comes from (there I say it) his looks as that's all I ever hear people going on about it whenever they mention his name. Both likable enough people and I don't mind them, but there were far superior candidates this series (in terms of both entertainment and business)

bumping up this underrated thread

1. David went to early in this season

2. Richard should have made the final this season

3. Uzma was not robbed in season 9, she was actually a terrible candidate

4. Helena from season 4 should not have made final 4, she was just a vile woman

5. James from season 5 is still the funniest candidate the show has ever had

6. Tom from season 7 is the worst winner the show has had. Melody was robbed. Helen was also over rated as ****

7. Ruth Badgers should have won season 2

8. Tim should have gotten further in season 9 and Francesca should have gone in week 2

Lostie! 23-12-2015 06:36 PM

Luisa was one of the worst things about her series and should have gone at the first opportunity.

Macie Lightfoot 23-12-2015 06:37 PM

alol I don't think anyone thinks Uzma was robbed based off of her competency as a candidate <333

MB. 23-12-2015 06:37 PM

I don't think a love for Ruth and a lack of love for Tom are necessarily unpopular opinions to hold

Pete. 23-12-2015 08:13 PM

Paul from Series 1 was awful

Daniel-X 23-12-2015 08:15 PM

I agree with all of yours :)

I don't think any of these are unpopular opinions :p

Mine is...

Series 4 is possibly the best series ever. So much drama. A lot of people saw it as too nasty, but it was absolutely compelling.

I also don't think Series 8 is as bad as people claim. It's still the worst though.

Benjamin 23-12-2015 09:29 PM

Richard from this year was an amazing candidate, bit of a dick, but good none the less.

Natasha from series 7 should have made the final over Jim. She was genuinely robbed of a place.

Benjamin 23-12-2015 09:31 PM

Also Katie Hopkins should have won her year, had she not decided to quit after making the final.

Braden 23-12-2015 10:03 PM

I don't think disliking Pamela is an unpopular opinion :p

Sour cow.

Jason. 23-12-2015 10:04 PM

I'm not sure if this is an unpopular opinion, but he has fans sooo...

Jordan (TA9) was trash.
