Tom Allen-He’s not new, and he’s not massively funny. Awful lot of box ticking on the show these days.

I look at 1985 and 1986 clips on YouTube of a young-ish Alan Sugar with Sir Clive Sinclair.
Here is 38 year old Sugar in 1985.

Another wonderfully cringefest episode of the bungling crew. What were they doing cooking vegetarian food in a pan that had previously cooked meat? When they told the client who had hilariously been promised a top notch experience they could only have 2 glasses of water was a tv gold moment. If these are the cream of the business world then Britain is in trouble. See Reece got fired as they were told not to drink alcohol on the flight to Dubai but he got pissed apparently. You couldn't make it up Is that fact or speculation? The handling of the tasks seems to be getting worse. I wouldn't employ any of them.

Anyone still watching/interested? Marnie should have gone to my mind with her constant disrespectful and rude butting in. Anil is so dopey but seems to go through every week, he must have a great business plan. Quite liked the caterpiller app although it was designed for 3 year olds much better than the woke pirate and the turd coloured treasure chest/sandwich box.

I'm still watching but not that interested in stupid 20 somethings with no idea about 6 - 8 year olds and what makes them tick. That Liverpudlian girl was the only one who knew they were making a huge mistake. She should have shouted louder but even then they probably wouldn't have listened. Their pitches to major retailers were shocking. They should all watch Dragons Den which is on just before to learn how to pitch a product.

I'm still watching but basically to see how much they balls up the task this week. This lot are shockingly bad and the ones who do have a bit of sense are ignored or shouted over by the loudest egos. Or they're just not in the clique. I think they need to reassess their casting for next year. Perhaps a few more older people as this is to be a business partner nowadays not an apprentice. Mind older people might not be daft enough to apply and plus there's being away from their kids/families for weeks on end so it might not work. But we really don't need so many waxwork looking blokes or 'glamorous' women. As for this weeks the caterpillar was the best ... but again the best of bad. Loved the brutality of those kids critiquing their crap lunch boxes That's 8 years old nowadays you clots, not a cutey caterpillar!

Lord Sugar sits there year after year spouting his usual rant about it being all about business, but the producers clearly choose Love Island wannabes. You only have to check out the instagram accounts, especially the girls who all seem to have had a bikini or 7 gifted to them lately…..

Yes you do wonder if these people (dare I say it, especially the women?) are using it as a springboard to something else? Becoming an Instagram influencer, doing other reality shows and becoming a 'reality star'?
I hate this social media obsessed world we live in.

Call me old fashioned but I'm quite a private person and talking to people face to face, phone or text is the only means of communication I am party to.

Another hilarious episode and for all the wrong reasons, this should really be billed as a comedy rather than Surallen's search for his new Business Partner. Never heard of Inference or whatever it was called but Simba (sp) shouting at those people like that was what he was born to do was hilarious, and didn't they love it. I will never understand how they pay top whack for food and then have to prepare it themselves? Why not just nip down to the local Tesco and save money? Karen never seems to say anything nice these days and is turning into a right miserable old bag.

I think the most surprising thing about this weeks is that all the customers were satisfied and none of them wanted their money back. Even the people who didn't realise they were going to have an 'immersive experience' at the prison and get shouted at And waiting, was it, 45 mins for their lunch? But the food. £30-ish a head for bog standard burger meals you have to cook yourself? Get out of here. The seller mustn't have been able to believe his luck. No wonder they were in the red before they even started. On the other hand the other team got decent looking pie meals for about £9-10, huge difference to the costing. The right fella went this week IMO. Enjoyed the episode, they might have been slightly more competent than other weeks on the whole.

Both of the actual experiences looked great to me and those that ran them did pretty well. Avi bemused me, he’s been a nodding dog for weeks, with almost no common sense or brains, and now he’s a mouthy git, who cruised to victory on the backs of his team members. The two issues they had, which could have cost them the task; the photos and mixing up vegan/gluten free pies were down to him and he wouldn’t even man up and admit it. Disappointed it wasn’t brought up to be honest.
Completely agree the right person left, and you could see his gameplan, he wanted to blame the loss on the others, but they moved heaven and earth to put on a good event, it’s not their fault he agreed top prices and then gave the tickets away.
It does make you wonder, had he and the other two actually sold the event properly, made people aware what they were getting for the money, they might have sold more tickets and at a higher price. They only made a profit thanks to photo sales and tips. Had they needed to cover a wage from that revenue they would have made a massive loss.
The food has puzzled me too, they pay top money for it and then they have to cook it themselves, are they qualified to do that? Not sure what the business talent is there, just seems more drama to me.
