NO!

I maybe in a minority, but I've never cared much for the interviews round.

Hate the interviews its even more false than the tasks.

I'm usually a not a fan of the interviews but the preview at the end of last weeks episode looked amazing!

Love interviews week....come on Mr Claude, do what you do best and send Luisa/Neil/Fran home once and for all.....as AS hasn't managed to do it himself!!

I don't like Claude
he tries too hard to be mean and isn't even remotely witty unlike Nick

It's impossible for me to respect or like the interviewers so I don't trust their judgement. They're incredibly rude to the interviewees and then toady up to Sugar. Rigour is one thing, and it's needed, but they're thoroughly unpleasant about it. It doesn't show well for Sugar that he trusts people who are so obviously in his thrall.

Margaret excepted.

The only episodes which compete with the the interview rounds for me are when ever they do the TV shopping channel or produce an advert as they are usually utter cringe

Claude is rude for rudeness sake but that's his role in the interviews they are trying to rattle the candidates. Playing it straight and doing a normal interview wouldn't make exciting TV so they've got to spice it up a bit!

I'm not a Claude fan either. He may be very good at what he does, but he comes across as unbelieveably rude and vicious. Of course, it's probably just an act for the programme but I wish people could just be themselves and give the candidates a tough interview rather than a nasty one!

I think Karren Brady used to interview really well and I do think that she's been the best interviewer ever on the show.

I'm not a fan of Claude, but he's clearly like that for television as opposed to a realistic interview.

I hated Paul Kemsley, horrible horrible man.

Nope.

My favourite week of the entire series.

Well Margaret's raised eyebrows are always frigging hilarious. I agree with others though, Claude is totally repellent. I ache for someone to tell him off.

Well that was disappointing ? About 20 minutes of the actual interviews.

My fave week for sure!

After weeks of hearing their boasting about how brilliant they are, I really enjoy the interviews. It's great to hear the wise words of the interviewers, and to watch them scrutinise the c.v's, and have a good look into their work backgrounds, and their business plans. Love it.

Tbf I don't give a toss about the interviews themselves, for me it is all about Margaret raising that eyebrow! You know its about to go terribly wrong for them when it happens.

I'm probably in the minority, but I actually really like Claude. He is the toughest one, but he comes across as being incredibly earnest. I think his praise for Ricky's business plan last year (and in a sense for Leah's and Luisa's this year) shows that he's not just a nasty person; if he actually is impressed he will say so, he's just a difficult man to impress. I think if you were working with him and you were thinking on the same wavelength, he would be a wonderful ally to have.

Im wondering why at this stage Claude doesnt have his own show tbh.

Maybe he doesn't want one. Maybe he just doesn't care about the show business, and doesn't want to cheapen himself. It wouldn't surprise me.

The interviews were quite boring this year, I think.
