Why why why do DS insist on plastering a picture of the fired candidate acrorss their front page!

That's twice this series I've visited DS without thinking on a Wed night and had the apprentice ruined.

It's just not the same watching the board room scenes when you know what's coming.

Why not have a picture of Sir Alan pointing on the front page, next to some generic text?

The problem with common sense is that it is not common.

No offence, but surely once bitten, twice shy?

Once it's been shown on TV you don't stand a chance of not knowing who's won, the losing candidate is in all the papers and on TV and radio.

I understand your disappointment if most of your enjoyment comes from the surprise of knowing who's fired, but they don't keep the plot of most programmes secret after they're aired, why should The Apprentice be any different?

But do they post the outcome of each and every show on the front page of DS the second the show has finished? No they don't.

I missed the show last week because I was watching the football, so got spoiled as I hadn't had chance to watch the show before I came online ... this week I again watched the football but online, so I also got to watch the Apprentice as well, so when I came onto the homepage in order to go to the forums to discuss the football I wasn't spoiled like I could have been if I hadn't got round to watching the show first.

Nobody is asking them not to report the result, but maybe they could actually announce the result within the article as opposed to in the description so people can decide whether to open the article or not.

Maybe you could Pm the news team?

It's ironic because DS news are usually being criticised for the lack of news in their news,

Maybe you should just type

www.digitalspy.co.uk/forums

Amazingly it avoids the first page and just goes to the forums, shocking that this is possible

Amazingly, not everyone only uses this site for the forums ... I actually like to know the showbiz news, which is why I have the homepage bookmarked, and I am not changing things just because the Apprentice is on and have to remember to avoid the homepage

Also sometimes, even if I do manage to navigate straight to the forums, sometimes I unthinkingly hit the "home" button instead of the "forum" button and end up on the homepage.

This happened to me the first two weeks of the last series, I soon learned my lesson and just didn't come on DS until I'd seen it
