What is the point of Week by Week Tasks?

What's the point of them if they're not the true basis in which you'll use to choose the eventual winner?
I missed tonights episode and the one when Melody was fired, but I've seen the rest, and Tom was always crap.
The only thing he had going for him was perhaps his business plan/idea.
Shouldn't he be on another show? Perhaps 10mins of Tom on a Dragons Den show would have been enough, instead of weeks and weeks of seemingly irrelevant evaluation.

Whilst I think Susan should have won because out of all the finalists,she had the best entrepreneurial experience and also did well in tasks,as she didn't win,I felt it was right that Tom won because Helen winning would have been cheating.She tried to introduce a second business idea at the last minute because the first one was unpopular.She did not deserve a win because of that.So Tom winning by default out of the final two was the right decision.
Helen simply wans't an innovator, Susan needs to much mentoring though it looks like she'll be getting some of that anyway. Jim was there to make up the numbers and keep us talking.
As LS stated if it was the original Apprentice concept there was only one outstanding candidate who he would have chosen, Helen.
If the BBC and LS are going to continue with this partnership concept they should for future programmes only choose candidates who have started and run their own businesses.
I dont think the tasks actually measure the ability of all of the candidates though..some fly under the radar
To make an entertaining TV series?
I think alot of peeps forget that
Was that a question or a statement?
Dissatisfaction=/=entertainment.
Nah. I guess you just can't understand the peoples problem with the flawed format.
I don't think most Apprentice viewers watch the show with the mindset "I don't care if it makes any sense or not, I just want to be entertained. EXPLOSIONS & PEANUT BUTTER!!!"
I don't understand the point of your question. It was an answer to your original post, inviting a response.
No , the format is to get the most viewers they can , full stop , thats it , your deluded if you think otherwise :rolleyes:
I wouldn't even be too sure of that really. It's arguable that in every single series the strongest candidate in the tasks hasn't won in the end.
What was flawed with the format though? It was explained at the beginning that this was to be about an invetsment into a partner's business idea.
It made sense to me and I was entertained without any explosions in sight.
Tonight marks the end of the Apprentice and I predict a big fall in viewers in the future. I'm not sure if I'll bother to tune into any future programmes.
But Lord Sugar had no interest in Tom's chair pitch and even took the mick out of it on Dara's show.So it was not Tom's first business plan that won it for him either.Tom could have pitched a car made of jelly and Sugar still would of hired him.
lol you should have read past the "?" then. Maybe that would have helped?
Umm, I don't think you know what format means lol
Lol, I think most of the more intelligent people have gone to bed. :eek:
And yet you're still up.
I think they ditched the original goal because it was becoming diffcult to argue with a straight face that being buried somewhere in Viglen or Amscreen for a few months with nothing much to do was a "dream job".
Although The Apprentice is still much better than most reality shows, it has one problem that the likes of Big Brother don't: it's pretending to be something it isn't. On BB, if contestants claim to be involved "for the experience" or something, the programme (i.e. the presenters, spin-offs etc) mocks this and cheerfully admits the only reason to take part is a lunge at zelebrity. But The Apprentice wants to be at least a half-serious business programme, and is still searching for a "prize" that will reinforce these pretensions.
I have also said this. Truly the END. The only thing that can save it is if they have all given business plans at the beginning which LS agrees to. And the winner decided on the tasks alone. Otherwise like you say its doomed!
