I don't understand why people whose business plans have fatal flaws are even cast, ugh.

It's really clear that it is. They like the interview ep to have big, embarrassing takedowns. If we take Lord Sugar at his word that he'd only had a brief glance at the business plans beforehand, he should be pretty embarrassed about that lack of familiarity. Why spend so much time paying attention to candidates who have no chance of winning? The interview episodes can be entertaining without letting people with terrible business plans (or some glaring thing that makes them an unsuitable partner in their resume) into the process.

of course it is, but then on the other hand he walked into that with his eyes wide open, and he is an Oxford graduate, oh dear.
