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.”

You don't like Shibby then?

All the men seem like prize muppets this year.

Of the girls, I think Melissa Cohen is the most unpleasant, and Stella English looks like she could be a right bitch.

I really miss Margaret.

How ridiculous. For all you know, he might hav paid for his own medical training. And you can't stop people going from profession to profession.

Utterly stupid argument.

Correct
He comes across as a bit arrogant but he has plenty of competition in that area, in fact he may start to seem quite reasonable compared to some others Stuart springs to mind but he seems more dillussional!!!
Shibby is one of those people who went into medicine because he was academically clever and becoming a doctor was a great way to show people how that he is clever. Indeed he has already mentioned it a number of times yet it has no relevance to being in business.
Thankfully, in recent years, our prospective medical students have to go through a very rigourous and accurate personality testing to see if they have the right attitude to be a doctor (which they must pass)- I suspect that Shibby would have failed this part of the selection process (it has only been compulsory for about 5 years) as it does correctly predict those that show a true vocation.

As a home student he would not have paid for his own training and once he graduated he is employed and trained by the NHS - it is not possible to buy your way to being a surgeon in the UK, although he would be welcome to pay for his own research degrees later on but he has not reached that stage yet.
Had he been a law student and got a training contract where his training and post graduate qualifications are paid for by a law practice, and, had he chosen to leave before his contract period was up (usually 5 years after qualification) then he would be made to pay back every penny of his training to the law practice. Not unreasonable considering the costs involved in this lengthy training.

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.”

Are you new? Yasmina won the competition last year with exactly the downmarket approach. Which tells us everything you need to know about AMS's products (if he still makes any that is).

You can't stop people changing profession - you seem to have a real bee in your bonnet about it, but it happens all the time. We don't live in a dictatorship.

He is only 27, doctors train for 8 years so it is unlikely that he has even given the profession a fair shot. I agree with the other posters, what a colossal waste of money and he wouldn't have squandered his training if he had to pay for it. Especially annoying how he brags about being a surgeon and uses as leverage. Hope Lord Alan pulls him up on this.

Yasmina won one task with low quality merchandise, which was more a result of the fact that the women were utterly inept at constructing food. It's not as though she was instructing Paula to get her hair into everything or Lorraine to pack half the salad in the boxes. The ingredients may have been low-grade, but they were all from supermarkets and all fit for human consumption and it's hardly series 2, where the women's team knowingly sold fruit that was borderline if not actually rotten.

Aside from that I never really saw that as her approach. Certainly she put far more effort into making her Margate leaflet look nicer than the cheap, half-finished, shit that Debrabarr willingly turned out, and her idea of using unusual ingredient combinations for the chocolates hardly suggests a lowest-common-denominator approach.
