I think this series has had more 'firsts' than any other.
1 A candidate quit on the winning team in the BR.
2 A candidate didnt turn up for youre fired.
3 A candidate has said the 'show is fixed'.
4 LS fired three at once.
5 LS brought four back when the PM couldnt decide.
6 He accepted an article (a boat) which wasnt really what was meant.
7 A candidate never said 'thanks' when fired.
8 LS fired a candidate before being brought back by the PM.

I am sure there are more. The apprentice I think is finished.

2. Last year a fired candidate didn't appear on YF due to a bereavement
3. I'm sure there must have been a few
4. Sure that happened in the last series
7. That's nothing new. Pant Man just muttered "joke" and Mellissa "said well done for bullying me you horrible people"
8. Happened last year when the guy AS wanted to be PM didn't do it, and when the team lost he fired him straight away.

There have been times when a candidate on the winning team. although I don't think it was as harsh though. I think AS should have the power to fire someone in the winning team if their individual performance is judged to be very poor. (It happens very occasionally in Hells Kitchen)


Not sure how the remaining "firsts" are evidence that the show is finished.

Triple firing happened last year in week 4; another first was that in week 6, PM Elle was fired before final boardroom and sub team leader, Mergim had to make decision on who to bring back. Another first was that on first task, there were two female PMs.

Nope, that's happened twice before; Ben in Series 1, and Tom in Series 8.

Someone walking out of the boardroom and not acknowledging anyone - twice.

Must add

Someone getting up to go and told to stay.

Someone fired, not saying 'goodbye' to all the other two brought in with him, only to one of them.

The reason I say the show is finished is because once you start deviating from the 'normal' that shows that it cant last in its 'normal' mode. Even LS said he couldnt fire Scott because he was on the winning team even though he wanted to. Also having a 'go' at another candidate (Selina) by so many of the others, in and out of the BR is I think unsurpassed

Most of these happened before, particularly last year. Have you even ever seen the show before?

Oh sorry I was ignoring the 'twice'. You made it sound like blanking outside the boardroom was a first in itself.

The footage on YF showed that Scott did acknowledge Richard, if only to say "I'm Off"

He wasn't really looking or speaking to anyone in particular

I have watched 'most' of the 'shows'. Saying most have happened before, my memory may not serve me right. Please tell us then which are not part of the 'most'. I mentioned in the original post and further posts quite a lot of things and can also think of more.
I am not referring to what is done on tasks but basically what is done between the contestants, LS and the BR. On all previous 'shows' the candidates seem to help each other to win the tasks. Now since they are scared LS will say you did nothing on the task they try all to do it themselves and like Brett, let Scott do something he is totally incapable of. They dont seem to mind losing the task as long as they can pin it on another candidate which seems to be much more important to them. I see their logic, its harder to win a task than to make someone get fired. Especially like Scott who was hopeless in this task. But I dont think that is what the idea of the apprentice program should be all about.

I think this series has had more 'firsts' than any other.
1 A candidate quit on the winning team in the BR.
2 A candidate didnt turn up for youre fired.
3 A candidate has said the 'show is fixed'.
4 LS fired three at once.
5 LS brought four back when the PM couldnt decide.
6 He accepted an article (a boat) which wasnt really what was meant.
7 A candidate never said 'thanks' when fired.
8 LS fired a candidate before being brought back by the PM.

I am sure there are more. The apprentice I think is finished.
Not really firsts...
2 Ella Jade wasn't on the show.
3 Quite a few candidates believe the show is fixed, I think.
4 Stephen, Sarah and Ella Jade
5 Didn't that happen in Morocco, series four?
7 Kurt in series 9 I don't think thanked LS
8 Jenny in series 9

But there are firsts -
1 First time a PM has been fired before final boardroom
2 First time a candidate had been in the process for six weeks without winning
3 First time SINCE SERIES THREE that there wasn't a battle of the genders in week one.

2 - technically but a little different having suffered a bereavement
5 - no after firing Jenny C, Jenny M brought back Michael and Claire, Alex was allowed to go
7 - plenty haven't Jenny c for one and Philip Taylor

Going through my list.
1 Seems to be agreed
2 A poster has explained that this wasnt done in 'anger'.
3 What candidates believe we dont know. This is the only time that one has said so publicly that the show is fixed.
4 I own up to a mistake.
5 That has also been explained by a poster.
6 Seems to be agreed
7 Perhaps I should change it to a candidate saying nothing at all, just walking out.
8 Jenny wasnt 'fired'. She cheated. Its like Scott who fired himself.
9 Two candidates telling us in advance they havent won.
10 One getting up to go and told to stay.
11 Someone fired, not saying 'goodbye' to 'all' the other two brought in with him, only to one of them.

- First time both teams brought back in
- First time both PM's in
- First time someone's been allowed to go outside to 'collect' themself?

First time an individual candidate's been allowed to do that, anyway. After James got the chop in the Series 5 interviews, Sugar let the remaining candidates go outside for a breather before continuing.

First time there has been no winners treat? I wondered what had been lined up for the winning team?

I'm pretty sure there was an occasion before where the 'win' was so poor that Sugar cancelled the treat.

Yes that definitely happened, I can't recall what series it was but Lord Sugar was very unhappy about what they had done.
