How much of a superfan are you?
This is a geeky thread I know, but I am wondering how much people know about the apprentice in every single series.
I don't know much at all about YA but for the adult series I have: Every single candidate. Every task. Egery team reshuffle. Committed to memory. I know its strange that j know the team reshuffles but not the project managers and boardrooms (both of which I hope to memorise soon ) but I find the relationships in the teams, they way they work together and the reactions to reshuffles a fascinating part of the show and that is why I know every reshuffle from all 9 series. I could for example tell you that in Week 7 of Series 2, Michelle was moved over to velocity!! ![]() What do you guys know??

I know virtually all there is to know about the UK version (Including Young Apprentice) and I know much of the US versions up to S4 (But not everything).
For example, I could tell you that for Series 2, Week 7, Velocity were two team members down and Sir Alan gave them a choice to bring one of the two people who hadn't PMed yet across - Tuan or Michelle and that's how Velocity ended up with Michelle on their team. ![]() In short, I'm a massive superfan! |

I think if I write down the teams I pretty much know all the boardrooms too, but its the PMs that get me muddled haha

I'm not entirely confident on reshuffles, but I know pretty much all of the rest. I know the teams in the early series and in Young Apprentice (YA is easier to remember because there are less candidates and smaller teams), but I'm not so hot on those in the middle. I also know a few odd facts, like the one that TXF0429 said.
TXF0429, do you know the meeting points in each episode and who answered the phone or the door? And whether the teams were followed by Nick, Margaret or Karren in each task? I don't know them, maybe one day I'll learn them. Another thing that I'm trying to learn (I know them for the first few series, I'm in the process of trying to get them all) is the order in which the candidates were introduced to us by means of their names appearing in captions on the screen for the first time. For example, in Series 1 it goes: 1) Paul 2) Ben 3) Saira 4) Matthew 5) Miriam 6) Tim 7) Miranda 8) James 9) Adele 10) Adenike 11) Lindsay 12) Raj 13) Rachel 14) Sebastian. |

Don't think I'd do too well at who answers the phone - that's Monkseal's area of expertise! |

Not the task locations, though I could name a fair few and, through thinking about it, I reckon I could get most of the Nick/Margaret/Karren teams.
Don't think I'd do too well at who answers the phone - that's Monkseal's area of expertise! What is especially interesting is that Majid Nagra and Mahamed Awale never had their names appear onscreen in a caption (there may be more that I haven't noticed). I would generally put them at the end of the list. |

I have to admit that I forget the vast majority of the candidates within a year, unless they particularly stand out. My excuse is that I've been slightly senile since I was about 18!

I'm certainly not a 'superfan' as I find The Apprentice ridiculous and stupid. Which is why I enjoy watching it!

I don't memorise any candidates, team names or project managers. I don't write anything down either. I just watch the show in silence from start to finish.

I think i was only ever a superfan for the first series that i saw which was Series 3. It was all fresh to me and i really got hooked.I think between weeks 2-7 it was just non stop entertainment. I think i could answer pretty much any question on that Series.
The rest i enjoyed too, but i sort of never got hooked in that sameway again. I think i can remember pretty much which series each candidate was from. If you put a picture of every candidate infront of me and told me to put them in groups for which series thay were in i am pretty confident i could get it at least 90% correct. i did lose interest in the show somewhat between Series 6-8. I think a true SUPERfan would probably love it always

I think that I'm a tier below superfan but my Apprentice trivia for the UK version is pretty solid.
I can remember every candidate and when every candidate was fired with a few exceptions, but I don't think I can remember all of the team shuffles or locations. |

I have been brushing up on my knowledge over the past few days and I now know every candidate, boardroom, the PMs and team rushuffles for every episode of every series apart from Series 6, which I have never seen in its entirety as I find it rather boring

All times are GMT. The time now is 01:06.

) but I find the relationships in the teams, they way they work together and the reactions to reshuffles a fascinating part of the show and that is why I know every reshuffle from all 9 series. I could for example tell you that in Week 7 of Series 2, Michelle was moved over to velocity!!
