We love them already! We just know we're going to hate Raleigh Addington and Laura, Liz and Stella - hello!!!

Profiles here.

I reckon Joy is this year's queen bitch.

Melissa will be the 'I'm so crazy, me' odd one out...

I predict romance between Stella and let's see, Christopher and/or Jamie...

Is it just me being an old git or are they getting younger every year?
Nearly all under 30. Tsk.

Also Stuart has rather alarming hair. And eyebrows.

*concerned*

And either manager or banker on top of that

Most of them are always bankers anyway

Just watched the audition for Stuart Baggs, hate him already what a to***** !!!

They will all have me throwing things at the telly, They always do. It's why I watch it

not liking melissa but i do like stuart

Absolute tossers (imo, of course!): Stuart Baggs, Dan Harris, Melissa Cohen and possibly Stella English.

That's all I've really deduced from the first episode... Though, the first few episodes are never more than the battle of the egos, sorting out the pecking order and seperating the wheat from the chaff. (or the bangers from the mash, as it were)

Alex Epstein seems a bit of an eccentric odd-ball too!

Deliciously loathsome.

Stuart, whilst quite clearly a knob of the highest order, is absolutely hilarious. Brilliant comic timing and delivery in the boardroom.

I have to admit that Stuart is a prize pr*t.
I haven`t decided on the rest of them yet, I can`t even remember their names at the moment. With the men`s team there was a distinct overload of testosterone as they tried to outdo each other in their meeting to decide a team name.
Their awful idea of making & selling really downmarket sausages was bad & yet they only lost by £15.
Would you buy a secondhand car from any of Synergy?
The female team went upmarket which was risky but did win them sales from professional chefs.
That`s the problem with the Apprentice - a team seliing good quality products could make a profit & lose out to a team who sells cr*p but makes a bigger profit. It should be judged on quality just as much as the bottom line.

On what I've seen so far Jamie, Joanna, Liz and Stella look to have talent. Possibly Shippi too.

I think Melissa might turn out to be another Saira Khan. She's going to have to produce results to make up for the attitude.

Alex looks a right pratt - too wet to be acting so big after surviving the board room.

Stuart and Melissa were the only ones who managed to have me shouting at the TV last night - he's a grade 'A' c*ck, and she spent her whole time trying to undermine her Project Manager.

With 16, it's really hard to make a call on the other candidates, as they just don't get enough screen time.

Dan was a terrible, terrible PM as well, and was all bluff and bravado - his taxi interview was surprisingly balanced and restrained

The thing that got me was that we saw more of Dan's swearing/bullying/demeaning behaviour on "You're Fired" than we did on the actual programme. Why was that?

I thought that aswell, quite surprised after seeing him be a complete knob previously.


I liked the two girls assigned to costs, was it Liz and Stella? I also liked Melissa but can see her going early after annoying people too much. I also liked Laura. Out of the boys i liked Jamie and a couple of others but don't know their names. The three in the boardroom made great tele. Alex came across to me as abit odd, but the other one (that didn't get fired) i found amusing (for being a prat ).

This man says in his video that he is honest yet he describes himself as a Surgeon. -not possible as he is too young to be qualified. AND there are questions over his professional conduct- he has had warnings according to the press- therefore I would say he is a liar.
I would also ask that as he now wishes to be a businessman and not a doctor he should pay back the hundreds of thousands of pounds that went into his training -that is now a total waste of money which we, the tax payers provided.
He should also apologise for taking a university place in medicine away from someone who might have been a dedicated and professional doctor who might have put something back after qualifying.
Sorry, but people like him really annoy me.

No one stood out as likeable or even particularly entertaining.

Stuart's whole attitude is obviously scripted. Ditto Blondie.

I am keeping my eye on Melissa's boobs and Laura would get it.

He could be a tree surgeon.

arent people allowed to change their mind, about what they want to do in life?

He is an idiot though. When wanting £60 for the sausages, the restaurant/chef said £50, he tries to haggle. In the end paid £50. He came out the restaurant and celebrated like he got £60..he said something like "I smacked it"..the knob.

I'm really hoping Shibby gets fired soon. It was so sickeningly hilarious watching him celebrate a bad negotiation. I'm surprised Dan or Karren didn't call him out on that.

As for the others, I think Liz, Stella, and possibly Joanna have the potential to go further, while Melissa, Stuart and possibly Raleigh will be TV gold . And it's not looking good for the boy's team so far.
