The normal version is back on Thursday, 16th September with 16 candidates.

A preview video can be seen here

looks good

will it be on tv?

No this season they are trialing beaming it directly into your dreams!

If your actually asking if it will be on TV in the UK then the answer is maybe, in a few years time.

The only options to watch it is to either move to the US, find it online somewhere, or wait for the BBC to screen it at about 2am on BBC Two in the year 2025.

The preview looks ok, I'm glad it is back to the real Business people after being Celebrities for a few years.

I'm worried there maybe a bit too much crying this time around with them all being people who were made redundent and now getting a second chance. They are going to line them all up and we will have to hear each ones sob story. Pah.If any of them do start crying about it I will kick them square in the nuts!

I'm not very impressed in that preview. The Apprentice is supposed to be about the cut-throat world of business not a collection of sob-stories!

Father of 5 and ex-husband of 1, David, is this year's Brett - something of a loose cannon who I imagine will milk his situation for every cent it's worth. One scene featured him dialling in to claim his "unemployment" whilst undertaking the first week's task.

The girls are a particularly vicious lot with an unemployed D.A., Masa, showing her fangs really early on. Her use of the phrase "it would be an injutsice if...." could get very boring very soon.

Providing they have them!

I thought David had a very angry look in his face every time he talked he looked like he was about to explode with rage!!

That Mahsa's a nasty piece of work! I'd much rather work for someone like Nicole than someone like her.

Yeah she was nasty. Thing was she didn't even do anything wrong during the task, it was just her bitching about nothing that got her taken into the board room.

Have to say though the girls deserved to lose what a mess there offfice space was, I'd go nuts if I had to work in such a disorganised space!

Laugh out loud moment with the camera man tripping on the guys office rugs!! If I was that camera man I'd get Mahsa as my attourney and sue the guys team!

Really enjoyed the episode so glad we have finally got a new normal apprentice series.

So much conflict already in both teams, think this is going to be the most cut throat season yet. Mahsa, a whole lot of attitude, hoped they'd keep Nicole for more drama next week but she was a really poor leader with no control.

The mens team looks stronger Anand and James looked like they have a good chance, Clint and David less so.

Yeah it was a good episode and nice to see it back to the same format as the first season, with no immunities etc.

I thought this was a great first show, David appears to be slightly unhinged, Nicole had no chance, I wonder if he is going to line up interviews for all the unemployed ones? and we haven't even seen where they are going to be living yet!

I thought it was a terrific opening episode (although much longer than usual - and looking at this week's NBC schedule this week's episode seems to be an extended one also). I'm not complaining! I wonder is this going to be the norm for this season? Anyways, I thought Mahsa was particularly full of attitude & mouthy and as for David... he seemed semi-unhinged!! Could be a cracking season!!

sorry if this is the wrong place to ask

but the US versions how many have been shown in the uk (i only remember the one when Sean the english Guy won it from the Jewish guy (sorry forget his name)

and are there any links to see them at all pls ?

Over here Seasons 1-5 have been shown.

Season 6 is the one set in LA
Seasons 7-9 are the Celebrity versions
Season 10 is the current 'normal' version.

They might get around to showing them over here at some point!

The ratings are awful for this series...

3.8m for the most recent ep and 4.7m for the premiere. The premieres are normally at least 8m.

It'll be back to celebrities for the next version. Probably a good thing.

I am enjoying it! Trump seems to be deliberately antagonising the girls in particular, I wonder if he is trying to prevent friendships forming, pretending to fire Liza before he had even announced the results was a bit cruel, although her "don't even look at me bitch" comment when they went back to watch the boys fight it out makes me think she is a tough cookie!

I'm finding this season a real bore. It feels really watered-down and boring with the useless contestants who can't hold down a job in the real world.

I don't care if its a recession, The Apprentice doesn't feel right when its full of these weaklings.

...Or maybe tv has just moved on since the original shows and now the celebrity version.

Don't know why the rating would be lower, its good to have the normal apprentice back. Although they are doing another Celebrity one as well was announced at same time they doing one normal and then season 11 is already confirmed as another Celebrity edition.

Am glad to get the basic selling task out the way, this was probably the most boring of them all, I mean they just selling ice cream, thats it, ooh really tough task that!

Never really got a good understanding of business logic of either team, apart from the girls set their price point at $5, what was the boys, we never really found out??? $5 for a ice cream is steap though, thats about £3. Loved the customer that told them they were a disgrace for selling it that expensive and should be ashamed!!

although it was very naughty i did laugh when the girls stoppped the boys getting their last ten minutes of sales by offering potential customers their ice cream free of charge

David causing a fuss again this week. He really has issues, can't believe he is still in the competition. I know James did a poor job as project manager, especially ignoring the centre manager, who was also a judge for the task, Big No No! But David really did disrupt the task alot.

The Girls team got Mahsa and Liza who are also going to cause trouble. Maybe once they are out the way, and we have got rid of the complainers and the babies we might actually get some real competition between the teams, not just within the teams.

I didn't understand the universal dislike for James from the rest of the team, he was a bit wishy washy but he wasn't that bad, and in the boardroom there was no mention of the fact that David was so disruptive that James 'sacked' him from the team!

Are any of the UK networks picking this up?
