I'm not looking at it as I avoid spoilers. I can just about deal with this thread, as it hasn't said anything substantial enough for me to still remember when the series goes out. But I haven't looked at any of the photos.

I've come to a stage where I hope we don't see anymore pics of the candidates filming. I don't mind if I find out about tasks through tweets, but no more pictures

At the end of the day, the only thing I know is who gets to the Final Nine - I will still throroughly enjoy the program when it returns in a few months.

Someone said on Twitter last night: 'tomorrow the Apprentice will be filming in my dad's office.' By my calculations this is too early to be the interviews, so I wonder what this is?

Karren's team filming outside Apollo Studios today it seems

I just saw that tweet Apollo studios is for photography and recording, so perhaps this is the branding/advertising task? So maybe Task 10 is the branding task. They must have been creating a jingle or something...

it's just a location in London as they were filming outside it

I kind of assumed that they were working in Apollo studios because the tweet says '#filmingbreak' so I am not sure what that means.

they wouldn't be taking a break with the cameras all outside if they'd been filming inside the studios

I guess that's a good point. I wonder what Task 10 is. Someone said they were filming in an office today, so maybe it's the interviews, but the calculations are puzzling me. All will be revealed in a few months I guess.

Does anyone know how many days they get off throughout the series? Cos there were two 10-day long gaps throughout the filming and I am so confused...

Someone on Twitter said again last night that the Apprentice would be filming in their office today... Can anyone think of a task that involves being in an office for two days... i admit they're probably not gonna be there all the time.

They're filming The Apprentice in my store

Hmmmm... Wonder what they'd be doing in shops for Task 10?

organising an away day?

I doubt they'd regurgitate that task... When they do tasks that are a bit different like the Rubbish task they are normally one-offs.

I was thinking that perhaps this is the Selling to trade task, but perhaps they wouldn't have two product selection tasks in one series. Or maybe it's like the Ready Meals or Biscuits tasks, and they have had a pitch laid on at Waitrose?

or they're just buying food to prepare for a task?

What do you mean? By my calculations, Task 10 started on Wednesday.

eg ingredients for a ready meals task or food to serve at a function they were organising for clients

The possibilities of what the task could be are quite endless. All I know is they would be buying ingredients for their task cos the task started on Wednesday.

how do you know the task started on Wed?

Because Task 9 (I think) was filmed on Monday 2nd June (which is the negotiation task). The boardroom etc, would have been filmed on Tuesday, so naturally they would start Task 10 on Wednesday... They may have started on Thursday, but there has definitely been talk of filming yesterday and today.

Here's a filming round up...

Task 1 - Selling flowers and coffee
Task 2 - A male subteam were spotted, possible doing market research for a product design task.
Task 3 - Selling incense sticks and candles at St. Pauls
Task 4 - Literally no sightings.
Task 5 - Were seen in Canterbury, Rochester and at Folly Bridge - god knows what they were doing.
Task 6 - Seen in London a few times - Covent Garden, Camden Town etc. (20th May)
Task 7 - No sightings (Perhaps an abroad task, because there is such a large gap...)
Task 8 - Selling products at Bath and West Show
Task 9 - Very likely to be negotiation task.
Task 10 - Talk of filming in offices, waitrose and a 'store'. Karren and her team seen outside Apollo studios - whether they were working in the studios is unknown.

Amongst Tasks 2, 4, 5, 6 and 7 and 10 there must have been a branding task. It's quite apparent that there is no Smell what sells task (unless it's abroad).

Wed to Fri (3 days) for one task before the boardroom seems too long imo

The tasks take between one and three days to film and the boardroom can take a whole day. Anyhow, here's a photo if the candidates in Waitrose, even though you can't really see the candidates themselves, but I can vaguely make out the ethnic minority female:

My doubts concerning whether they've upped the number of candidates is coming back... And increased the number of tasks... Because I think I can identify nine male and female candidates but up until now I've tried to convince myself there are duplicates.... Also there were two huge gaps in filming which under normal number of tasks would only have allowed one task to be there, so I am just very confused... Filming will be over soon I am fairly sure, and I will be hanging in suspense until September/October... So annoying!

i doubt they would increase the number of tasks because that would increase their production costs

but I still think (as I've said all along) that they increased the number of candidates (looked like 20 at the start)

If they've not increased the number of tasks, then I don't think they'll have increased the number of candidates. My thoughts about the increased number of tasks stemmed from the fact that there were two 10-day gaps where no candidates were seen, and only one task could have filled that gap if there were ten tasks as normal, but clearly they're just very long tasks, rounded off with a day off!
