Paul in france with his cheap cheese and trying to fry sausages on 'some stupid contraption the boy scouts could have made' He then decides to take Kristina and Adam in with him on trumped up charges and is far too arrogant to admit to his mistakes (pretty big mistakes as well) Kristina eats him for breakfast in the boardroom. it was highly enjoyable to watch him get fired, my fave firing ever i think.also nice to see Katie Hopkins sulking cos her boyfriend got kicked off the show. I loved series 3

This is in my top five Apprentice episodes. It was hilarious to see Lindsey just ignoring everyone, believing her idea was great when it actually sucked
I also loved the mobile phone app episode from last year's series. Susan's "I have an idea..." and Edna shutting her up, then Edna saying to her team 'I've looked at all your strengths and weaknesses, and I've decided that I'm going to do the pitch"

Close seconds for me are the boat task in Series 2 (Why wasn't that ever repeated?) and the Interview stage in Series 3 for the drama that kept you guessing what would happen until the very end!”

Great idea!
The double firing immediately came to mind - such a shock at the time! The other two for me are Katie Holmes getting through to the final then having to back out; and Simon Ambrose screwing the leg on the trampoline in the QVC shopping task (snigger).
The perfect episode was probably the France series three one where Paul got fired. It really got the season going and set up who the heroes (Kristina / Adam) and the villains (Katie / Paul) were. And Queen Katie got spared, yet we still got to see her wrath at losing her minion Paul to her most hated rivals. It really made season 3.
I didn't really like the Marakesh one. Though it had its good points I think it kind of killed the season. Losing Jenny C was good in the short term, but she was a brilliant villainess and we could have really done with losing Michael Sophocles who wasn't even good as a villain, just an annoyance. And I liked Jenny M and she was great as a minor villain / ice queen. After that the season was all downhill.

I don't really like villains in the show, and if we have to have them I want to see them dumped unceremoniously, just like Jenny. In fact I wish she'd been fired back in the laundry task as she deserved.

I would have quite liked to see a Jenny C vs Lucinda boardroom reunion further down the line. With Queen Lucinda triumphing ofcourse.
Normally I'd rather just have the deserving person being fired. In this case I think Michael was probably the most incompetent one overall with Jenny C as the second choice if it was still a double-firing.

I'd have loved to see Lucinda (my favourite candidate of all time) destroy Jenny (my least favourite candidate of all time in the boardroom.
However, the thing is, Jenny had deserved to go in Week 2, when she was absolutely useless and a terrible PM and in Week 6 where she came up with the terrible idea of the environmental cards.
As I mentioned earlier, I was re-watching Series 4 and the laundry task firing made me really angry as Shazia was one of the more competent girls and she was scapegoated by Jenny, when Jenny had sent Shazia back to the house to get the irons which led to the mixed-up clothes.
I've seen loads of people criticise Series 4 on here and I just can't agree. There has been no other series that as made me love candidates and hate candidates as much as that series. OK, Sir Alan made some terrible firing decisions (Shazia, Simon, Sara, Raef, Lucinda etc) and the final wasn't particularly watchable due to it including Alex/Helene, but if there ever is a series that got you engrossed in it and eager to see candidates succeed/fail, then Series 4 was that series.

Disagree, as I think that stuff like bribery and bullying is not a good example to give to any budding business entrepreneur (or any kids watching for that matter).
As for the final, all 4 of them were unwatchable (to think we could have had a final four of Lucinda, Simon, Sara and Raef) and as bad as eachother. The fake couple, the woman who drank coffee and the head of the (bullying) gang.
Shopping Channel of Series 5 was pretty epic. Yasmina and Debrabarr fighting in the car-park over who got to be PM, Kate Walsh "Unleashing.Her.Inner.Rock.Goddess", OTP Yasmina & James being adorable and awkward together, Kate and Howard seething with hatred for Lorraine and being catty about her all episode, the amazing segment where Lorraine and Howard just said "CHIPS! CHIPS! CHIPS! MMMM CHIPS!" over and over again, Yasmina being so boring and competent that it almost cost her another PM win (but not quite), Lorraine being shown around Ideal World by her long-lost son, Debrabarr's sudden Redemption Arc ("SHEILA! HOW REGAL DO YOU LOOK?!) complete with snood, the Evil Tabloids trying to undermine Debrabarr Goddess' Redemption Arc with some made-up crap about how her family were all sat at home buying the products for her (such transparent jellus hatahs)...
Series 5 is under-rated in general I think.
Simon screwing in a trampolene leg for most obnoxiously over-rated Apprentice moment ever y/n? That whole episode was so dull, as was most of Pantsman. (Apart from Apple Sue, obviously)

Definitely the one where Shibby made only 16 rolls out of 1000! That or the tour around London one, brill.
