The candidates for this years Apprentice have been released. Have to say I'm very glad it's back on our screens after a great series last year.

Will you be watching next week?

Edna looks feisty, she'll probably be fired 7th...early prediction

Yet another cast of The Apprentice with useless-looking, cufflink-adjusting, unattractive men. Sigh.

This is based solely on their looks, seems like an older group this year:

Edna seems like being a megabitch
Alex could be like last years Alex
Zoe seems like an early boot
Vincent will be very love or hate, he may make the later stages
Melody will be a mid-series boot, she seems like a more capable Sandeesh
Leon will make the interviews
Felicity is quite pretty, can't imagine her doing that well though
Jim will be an early boot
Good to have an asian candidate, but Susan doesn't fill me with confidence
Atta I can imagine being domineering
Helen screams megabitch to me, Helen and Edna alliance please
Tom seems like a contender, doesn't he remind anyone of Jeff Goldblum
I'd love for Ellie to be a Ruth Badger type figure.
Glenn's profile picture's very unfortunate
Natasha will be an early boot
Gavin might go far

Watch all these be wrong mind you.

It's hard to tell just by the photos. I thought Paloma would go far based on her photo and look how that turned out.

All speculation at this stage.

Felicity.... Your Hired!
Don't care whether she is any good or not, I would give her a job as my PA!

Interesting bunch of oddballs.
The pics are rather unfortunate, don't know who looks worse.
Vincent looks like a right poser.
Alex has been left with somewhat of a pig snout.
Edna's facial expression has a kind of 'wtf is this sh*t?' attitude.
I can't stand the 'adjusting your cuffs to look like an important business man' look.

Tom does look a bit like Jeff Goldblum, maybe a bit of Michael Sheen too.

There's been loads of Asian candidates. Susan is the second oriental candidate after Tuan in my memory serves me correct

Dear the BBC,

Hello mate. I am a mum from a family and my son has been horrifically inconvenienced by the lack of audition videos on your Apprentice website. Basically, he went to school and told all his mates that they'd be on the website on Tuesday 3rd May, but they checked at lunchtime and they were nowhere to be seen. They've since tattooed "LIAR" onto his forehead with a soldering iron (he had a Technology class after lunch) and kicked him in the back so hard that his kidneys have split into four.

As compensation I demand that you just put the bloody videos on the website and also can I have that helicopter that you use for the aerial shots of London?

Cheers,
rwebster

I'm gutted!

Where are all the fit birds?

Last year's had the most attractive female contestants on The Apprentice ever! This year.....not so much!

They've dropped the ball this year!

We'll be moving this forum to the main forum (under Big Brother and X Factor) later today.

The DS article has been updated to include a mini-biog about the candidates

Edna's got no chance. She's got a BA and two MAs and Sugar has a massive chip on his shoulder about anyone with an education
