Lazy journalism again - it's the fourth time. Michelle and Ruth, Yasmina and Kate, Ashleigh and Lucy.

I don't think they consider Young Apprentice in the history of the show. To be fair they are separate programmes.
Yeah, I don't really count Young Apprentice when talking about the history of the the programme with it being a different programme and all that... So I would imagine the writer of the article did the same.
Sweet Jesus. A lazy puff piece where they can't even be bothered to get their quotes accurate. It actually looks like this was written by someone who's done little else other than watch the trailers and the website clips. Absolutely no actual critique of the business plans. Awful, awful journalism.

Yes, exactly. I think the fact they've left out Young Apprentice is more to do with the fact that they're lazy journalists that have forgotten about it than anything else.
Isn't that always the way?

Well, you know how the saying goes: never let the facts get in the way of a good story. (Or even a bad one.)

I remember reading an article that said Yasmina's biggest blunder was wanting to sell male-only chocolates, and that Tim (Campbell) wound everyone up by being a goody two-shoes.

Says it all, doesn't it?
Evening Standard cited Katie Hopkins as an "Apprentice winner" the other day. I puked in my mouth a little.

The puking was probably in dismay about there being an inaccuracy in the newspaper, rather than the content of the inaccuracy... I may be wrong though.

I thought she was entertaining and charismatic on the show. As a person, she's a horror.
"Baking is one of the success stories of the High Street" 
- really ?? - only National chain left is Greggs and 1 or 2 local bakery chains go out of business every week.
The supermarket instore bakeries have destroyed retail baking.
Agree about lazy journalism - more facts in a single DS post than the whole of this article !!

Greggs "head of retail" being series 7 runner-up, Helen. So that will be two bakery chains run by Apprentice runners-up, if Leah is announced the winner in a few hours time.

While that may be true, it would seem like independent shops are doing quite well at the moment...
According to the Office for National Statistics, the number of independent bakeries in the UK went up by five per cent last year, and that’s just the ones meeting the VAT threshold (£77,000). Start-ups are more prolific still, with new baking ventures increasing by 325 per cent since the recession hit in 2009, according to a report by insurance brokers Simply Business.
