the junior ones been cool to watch

im guessing not till after the world cup is finished rather than keep messing at around in the schdules

some people are suggesting that this years is going to be scrapped totallyfor this year, or be shown next year, i can`t see this happening as 1) this years has already being filmed, so unless they want to waste some of everybodys tv licence fee(some will say it is a waste of licence fee payers money anyway), they will show it, people are suggesting they will just show it next year leads me onto 2) they are already advertising for contestants for next years series so that is a no no, as previous poster says it will probably be on after world cup, and probably when boring brother has finished

They may show it in the Autumn - which is when it would have been filmed last year. At least then the silly pretence that it is actually happening in real-time won't be betrayed by the seasons being out of kilter

Is there a pretence that it's played out in real time?

Lordalun oftens says things like "this is a 12 week interview from hell" and "last week you lost me money". There's the actual "hiring" where both outcomes are filmed and then shown after a six month on-job trial.

but it is a tv show, would have looked funny if on last weeks show somebody had lost him money, and he turned around in boardroom and said yesterday you lost me money

It will be shown in the Autumn was never going to run in July after the World Cup. July is poor for ratings.

It will all be filmed and probably just the final to be done.

The clips of him asking for you to apply are for Apprentice 2011

The Normal Apprentice? Has there ever been one?

So the finalists have just been sitting around doing nothing all these months?

Maybe they are in the BB house!!
Perish the thought...

I think they should have a third team of the junior 'all stars' against the adults.
