It's had its day. I'll watch it but then I'll watch night cops
and that is complete throw away tv. Really, tv is just bad to begin with.I think this format has got very stale. Same one liners, same arrogant idiots nobody would want in their company making the same silly schoolgirl schoolboy errors that even a 5 year old wouldn't make. Same old Sir, Lord, King (whatever) Sugar angrily shouting down anyone daring to be in any way the right side of likable and goading them in to being an arrogant, ruthless robot like him, as his head swells and slowly starts to disapear up his own ass. |

That the men were spending a lot of time on the numbers instead of on design was made very clear to me during the task. That the women took too long getting to the zoo, and then finding a shop outside the zoo, and then failed to offload their stock at the end, was also made clear.

Whilst I would generally agree with you about the Apprentice often pulling the 'old switcheroo' in the editing, I don't agree with that being the case this time. The girls were quite clearly shown as struggling throughout....
When they started to go on about the girls great idea and the quick sales, I knew that they were going to loose, just by comparing it with previous episodes. |

The girls chosen flaws, which were heavily highlighted (lack of a business plan, failure to manage time properly) were both ones that have cost teams tasks in the past, repeatedly. The boys chosen flaw, which was also highlighted heavily (poor quality, on one item in their product line) wasn't. The only other error highlighted on the boys team (the price-point of the bear being too high) was shown to be reasonably swiftly corrected (with a bit of POV editing to make Stephen seem untrustworthy). Nick is shown on the phone saying he's about to sell out of stock, and this is swiftly followed by a sequence of Stephen's sub-team selling all their stock as well. It's fairly obvious they've out-performed the girls from that point on, especially as there's no hint at all that they've priced themselves too low (in fact the opposite).
In particular I'm not sure how they could have highlighted any more just what a catastrophe the sub-team "led" by Jane was. The only time they're actually shown selling anything at all it's undercut by them all bitching and complaining about one another, and the voiceover repeatedly saying that sales are slow to non-existant. The rest of their edit is them sat in cars not selling, or wandering around parks not selling, or getting thrown out of corner-shops for being hell-bitches. I can see that Nick was more positive about the girls than Karren was about the boys, but Nick was always following the half of the girls team that was actually borderline functional. There's not really a lot they can do about that, unless they edit in him afterwards making like he's seen stuff he hasn't, which I think generally the show is above. |
