That's what I've always thought was missing from the apprentice, time travel, perhaps we'll see him refusing the offer of a life in the usual people carrier before he heads of to get a head start in tasks in his delorean.
![]() Ah, that explains why Nick Hewer is increasingly pulling so many faces, he's Doc Brown! |

Seems like a bigger group this year. Stuart Baggs could be something of an amusing character judging from his interview Any other first impressions? |

Just reading his description - what is a telecom entrepreneur??? One of those stalls that "unlocks " your phone or someone who sells answer phones? He can hardly be competing with BT?
And to be fair, also looks to be a proper and possibly sizable thriving business, unlike some of the hot-air jobs that candidates have in their past (and future). None of which stops him from being a bit of a bell end of course. |

Like Chris did, anyone who describes themself as extremely funny makes me not like them instantly. No-one can actually say that about themself and get away with it.
![]() On the other hand, like Christopher, anyone who uses the word abrupt I immediately like. Jamie's looking to become the 'bumper sticker' candidate with all those cliched sayings. Don't know why alot of them seem to be pushing this 'wackiness' about them. Lord Sugar doesn't like that, he likes someone who gets straight-to-the-point. Kind of like Laura is, although saying she's a man in a woman's body is just a bit too direct. ![]() Paloma certainly wins the award for the most intriguing and slightly scary opening statements. I like Raleigh for some bizarre reason. I knew I would when I saw his pic. Also liked Sandeesh talking about her dad's ears. |

Why do they all look like they've chewed a wasp, none of them are smiling.
![]() Ralleigh looks he could be an unbearable mummys-boy prick. |

Some other thoughts:
Chris - I have met many people like you in my life, there are plenty arrogant public school boys working in investment banks that don't show anyone any respect. Christopher - he sure doesn't look like a trained killer Dan - seemingly too normal for this show then he called himself an enigma. Jamie - meh not particularly interesting. Joanna - really like her and interested to see how she gets on. Joy - 'a bit emotional' odds on first for tears? Laura - 'man in a woman's body' really hope she isn't a dark haired younger version of Katie Hopkins that woman scarred me for life.Liz - meh again, interesting that her face is the same colour as her hair Melissa - calls herself the bulldozer but oddly didn't seem that annoying Paloma - admits to failing a novel statement in an apprentice candidate video Radleigh - unique name but incredibly similiar to unique candidate Chris. Sandeesh - not going to tear others down apparently, raises my suspicions that she may actually end up doing this in the boardroom Shibby - trauma surgeon on the apprentice, is that why he thinks Prime Ministers are the same as other entrepreneurial giants ![]() Stella - possibly slightly bonkers, I wonder if she's been drawing pictures of herself sitting in an office with Alan Sugar. Stuart - toilet brush head - luckier than people who are dead apparently, reminds me of a young David Brent. Quote:

Ah, when I saw this thread title, I thought it was for the next series, and not the one we have had to wait ages for....
Anyone confirmed that there IS a next series yet?...... |

isopap - probably not a comedian.
Dan was pretty cheery! Keep in mind that they're all mid-interview. For a potentially lifechanging TV show. Not exactly the least stressful moment of a person's life. |

Chris Bates sounds a bit of a pillock.

The producers have chosen quite a few investment bankers this year. They also don't have so many professional salespeople for once (Dan is the only one I can see there). I Wonder if there's a message in that?

Whilst S4 had five people with sales in their last job title, there was only one in S5, which was Debra. Selling is part of many roles but isn't all of it eg estate agents and 'development managers'. Many people have started in a shop or telesales as a first or interim job eg Lorraine and Yasmina. Sales or convincing people to give you their cash in return for what your business does, is what keeps a commercial business alive; providing it's done at a net profit. Every role in a business has that as it's ultimate aim even if they don't realise*. I have no problem with Sugar 'banging on' on that subject. *'above it all journos', if you didn't write what people will pay to read, they won't buy your paper and advertisers won't pay to be in it. |

http://monkseal.wordpress.com/2010/1...ice-6-preview/ heheheMy fave bit was: Oh Stella English. Truly you are the biggest disappointment of them all. Looking at your website picture and profile I had such high-hopes. Such an icy blonde stare, such an inspiring background (rose from no qualification to being the only woman in all of Japan or something), the tough mother-bear stance. And then I flick to your video and what do I see? Some giggly piece snorting her way through some story about how when she was young she drew a red car, and then when she grew up she bought a red car! Exactly what I thought. Why are so many of the women bigging up their crazy sides. "Oh my god, I'm dead mad me yadda yadda..." Cue Lordalun - |
