I thought this would be an interesting thread. I was reading some of the other active ones here and had to utilise Google to remember who people were talking about!

No cheating - list only the people you remember off the top of your head.

‣ 1 Tim, Raj, Adele, Saira, Paul, Miriam
‣ 2 Syed ( my knowledge of two, three, four & five is clearly lacking...)
‣ 6 Stuart, Chris, Joanna, Jamie, Stella, Liz, Laura
‣ 7 Susan, Helen, Tom, Melody, Jim, Zoe, Natasha
‣ 8 GABRIELLE! Laura, Nick, Ricky, Jade, Tom, Adam
‣ 9 Luisa, Leah, Jason, Neil, Francesca , Myles

Great thread. I am an Apprentice superfan and therefore have seen every episode at least twice, and know each one inside out, and so I can list every candidate from every series

Every single one.

I know I've watched every series, but I seriously can't remember anything from series 1-6 (I only got into it with series 7), so I'll just have to do 7-9.

7: Edward, Alex, Gavin, Edna, Felicity, Glenn, Leon, Zoe, Melody, Natasha, Jim, Susan, Helen, Tom (think I'm missing 2..... oh, Ellie and Vincent I believe, so all of them)
8: all of them
9: all of them

I do know who some from 1-6 are if I saw a picture of them (the winners mostly), but I don't really remember them on the show, so I'm not counting them.

Have you ever considered watching them on YT?

I don't know how it is physically possible to have watched Series 1 and not remember Saira, however long it is.

Every single one, but like George and Hown, I'm somewhat of a superfan, so its no surprise that I know all of them!

A good topic because I find I have major trouble remember certain series.

1 - Saira, Paul, Tim, James, Ben, Sebastian, Miriam, Matthew, Adele, Raj, Miranda, Rachel.
2 - Ruth, Michelle, Ansell, Paul, Syed, Tuan, Sharon, Jo.
3 - Simon, Kristina, Katie, Tre, Jadine, Lohit, Naomi, Gerry, Natalie, Adam, Paul, Ghazal, Sophie, Rory.
4 - Lee, Lucinda, Helene, Claire, Alex, Jenny C, Jennifer M, Raef, Sara, Kevin.
5 - Yasmina, Kate, Debra, James, Lorraine, Philip, Ben, Noorul, Howard, Mona, Anita.
6 - Stella, Chris, Jamie, Joanna, Laura, Christopher, Raleigh, Alex, Paloma.
7 - Tom, Helen, Susan, Jim, Natasha, Zoe, Edna, FelIcity, Gavin, Vincent.
8 - Ricky, Tom, Nick, Gabrielle, Jade, Katie, Jane.
9 - Leah, Luisa, Francesca, Neil, Jordan, Alex, Jason, Kurt, Rebecca, Zeeshaan.

I remember Melody but I couldn't place what series she was in. lol

She was in Series 7.

I have thought about it, but my Shockwave player is rubbish and likes to crash a lot, so I'd just be refreshing quite a bit.


As I said in my post, I do remember some candidates from previous series (if I see a picture of them then I can usually put a name to the face), but I don't remember them from the show, if you know what I mean (ie I know they were on it, but I can't think of any clips from tasks with them in. The best I can do is a tiny bit of the s4 final, a bit of the s5 final, and I can see Chris and Stuart in series 6, but I can't remember where - hence I don't count any of those and I go from series 7 which I remember quite well).

I'd be able to do it if I sat down for a while - I'd be able to get the order they were fired if I had a pen and paper! - but in my head, quickly, let's have a go, and in the order I remember them...

1. Adenike, Lindsay, Adele, Matthew, Sebastian, Raj, Saira, Paul Torrisi, Miriam, Ben Leary, Tim... I feel like I'm missing a finalist, somewhere!
2. Ruth, Michelle, Mani, Alexa, Syed, Tuan, Samuel, Sharon, Ansell, Paul Tulip.
3. Andy, Kristina, Katie Hopkins, Tre, Lohit, Simon, Natalie, Dr. Sophie Kain... other people!
4. Nicholas, Simon, Lucinda, Lindi, Lee, Jenny, Jenny, Michael, Raef, Alex, Claire, Ian, Kevin, Sara, Helene, Shazia.
5. Yasmina, Kate, Philip, Lorraine, Ben, James, Mona, Anita, Noorul, Maj, Debra.
6. Stuart, Chris, Christopher, Stella, Liz, Sandeesh... I'm hitting a wall!
7. Tom, Jim, Helen, Susan, Natasha, Ellie, Vincent, Edward, Edna, Zoe, Gavin, Leon, Felicity, Alex, Glenn, and... someone else! Can't see who I'm missing.
8. Tom, Gabrielle, Stephen, Ricky, Katie, Bilyana, Jane, Jenna, Nick, Maria, Azhar, Adam, Jade.
9. Leah, Myles, Kurt, Natalie, Alex, Jason, Luisa, Neil, Francesca, Rebecca, Uzma, Jordan.

There we go, that's roughly it. I remembered Naomi Lay half way through series eight, but thought it'd be cheating to go back and add her. I liked her, don't know how I forgot! Also forgot Dan Harris, for series six, didn't go back and add him. Looks like I got the whole of series four!

Now that I've finished, everyone's coming back. Full of names. Ghazal, Jamie Lester... but, that's my "deer in the headlights" attempt!

You forgot Melody. How could you forget her? Arguably the most entertaining one that series!

Series 1: Saira, Tim, Adele, Lindsay, James

Series 2: Sharon, Syed, Michelle, Ruth, Paul, Jo, Ansell, Jadine, Mani, Rory, Ifti, Karen (?)

Series 3: Katie, Natalie, Kristina, Adam, Paul, Tre, Simon, Geri, Lohit, Ghazal(sp?), Naomi

Series 4: Alex, Sara, Shazia, Lucinda, Claire, Lee, Jenny C(elerier), Jenny M(aguire), Simon, Helene, Lindi, Raef, Michael, Kevin

Series 5: Yasmina, Kate, Lorraine, Paula, Mona, Debra, Phil, Ben, James, Noorul, Rocky, Anita, Majid (sp?)

Series 6: Liz, Stella, Chris, Jamie, Joanna, Stuart, Laura, Paloma, Sandeesh, Shibi (sp?), Joy(?), Melissa, Alex

Series 7: Jim, Susan, Melody, Vincent, Ellie, Felicity, Natasha, Zoe, Helen, Tom, Edna, Gavin, Leon

Series 8: Adam, Jade, Tom, Nick, Duane, Katie, Laura, Bilyana, Ricky, Michael, Azhar, Jenna, Maria, Gabrielle, Stephen, Jane

Series 9: Zeeshaan, Rebecca, Natalie, Jason, Jordan, Luisa, Leah, Tim, Neill, Francesca, Kurt, Sophie, Myles


Series 1 is a blur to me (and I have not seen it since, so apart from the few mentions on the forums the names have left my brain).

There are quite a few people whom I remember from face (the arrogant guy from series 4, the American woman from Series 5, the 2 missing ladies from the last series) and a few where I had to guess (which I didn't bother with in the end) in which series they went out early in (people like Alex Brital, Dan, Nicholas).

Mostly good on the female names (only ones missing from the last 6 series are the cream puff from New York and the two ladies from last year (the first fired contestant and the one with the peculiar couloured/made-up face).

Not bad, even got one series (series 8) totally correct, which was helped by having such a memorable first firing (Bilyana getting herself fired ).

Cripes - yes, you're right! She was front and centre for all the most turbulent episodes, that's absolutely ludicrous, no excuse for forgetting! I fear it's because when I think of series 7, I remember a bunch of candidates I generally tended to quite like, so Melody wouldn't have occurred to me on that path as I found her quite conceited and nasty. I know, I know - a certain amount of that is due to the editing, another amount due to the pressure of the situation, it's always going to be a warped portrait - but TV-Melody, for all it's worth, really wound me up.

Or maybe I'm just better at remembering people I liked and experiences I enjoyed. That'd be quite nice! I'd like that.
