Rewatched series one on YouTube recently, you would be better off watching that every year instead. Belter compared to this shite.

Shocking how bad the contestants are this year.

How that team leader survived that clusterfuck i'll never know.

The show is nothing to do with business acumen and all about watching millenials show how out of touch they are in the world today.

I haven’t watched it for years because it went from having a group with decent business acumen to a bunch of fucking idiots. Only been roped back into it because the gf loves it. I just shout at the TV for an hour.

As above, no idea how either the team leader or the wannabe actor who can’t talk and move at the same time didn’t go.

All three should have gone this week they were that bad. I'd place a fair amount of money that a woman will win this year.

Maybe if they added some to the mixture to give it a hint of the hot sauce not spread it on the Doughnut. it may have worked more.

In terms of the task probably the wrong person got fired. Strategy and sales is where they lost it.

A lot of detail yesterday in the episode and less in the boardroom which is good. This harks back to the first few series. The detail is good for young enterprenuers who are shown the classic mistakes. Either promising too much, design flaws affecting sales, and how important sales to corporate are for a quick win.

If I was in this industry my first thought would be to go high end as well. A vegan option (take out the egg). But keep the ingredients simple. Like top end chocolate with a hint of lime, strawberries and cream. Smarties or other confectionary on top, maybe even some healthy nut ones. No funny shapes, simple round doughnuts with a lot of filling.

I know it was slightly edited to be a bit longer than it probably was, but his "pitch" to the business owner about their donuts has to be the most cringeworthy televisual moment in history. He should stay purely for entertainment value.

That Frank reminds me of someone I work with, and she similarly get into a right panic over the littlest things, and I can see why Alan Sugar wouldn't want to work with someone like that. Always a negative impact on a team when someone's loudly getting in a huff, and not just getting on with things.

Sabrina could be portrayed as being similar, in the sense that she seems to be a negative person to the team, but in the past two tasks, her concerns have been bang on and always brought up by the experts and by Alan Sugar as well. She's obviously pretty smart, and can see the problems where others have their heads in the clouds, but she really needs to work on how to get her points across. Always seems to be the way in this show, that the idiots manage to shout the loudest with conviction, where the smart ones seem to be rather meek in the big groups in the early weeks.

Thought the same but I wonder if she's just really annoying to be with 24/7 and the rest of them are struggling to deal with her.  When that happens that person usually gets put up quite often.

Yeah could be. Like I said, what she says is bang on, it's just that she says it in a negative, nagging voice which no one wants to hear.

Think she might learn her lesson, however, and will prove to be on of the last few. Or she'll stay the same and be booted off next week!

Just caught up with the last episode at the Bodybuilding Convention.

Spoiler
That Alex was a right fucking weapon and fully deserved a bollocking, but not sure if he was necessarily the weakest or most deserving to be fired. That was definitely Kurran, who seems to be the worst candidate they've ever had!

Really like Sabrina and think she'll go far, as will Camilla and Rick. A lot of the shouty loud ones are good at selling, but Alan Sugar's not looking for someone to flog fish down the markets, so they need to have a bit more to them than that.

Oh and completely agree about Sian - wow. Something about Jasmine and Sabrina (check out her Instagram!) as well.

Hopefully this week will be decent too.
