The treats are terrible this year.
Last week they got to go to a trampoline park and this week they got to make their own dinner. I think I would've stayed at home and slept.

Yeah not much difference between Joe's cafe and the winner's gift.

The croquet one was laughably bad.
Like a single croquet hoop bought in poundland by a producer probably and a few glasses of Sainsbury's fizz. |

The treats have been terrible for a good 4 years now barring the odd occasion where the producers feel like they're willing to put a bit of effort in.
Personally if I won I'd just kick back and relax back at the house, never mind croquet, free running or meetups with Sir Chris Hoy. |

They've been a bit rubbish, yes.
Things I would enjoy as a reward: day at the spa (although that's a predictable one), helicopter ride over the city (hard to do with a big team, they'd have to take turns), fancy meal at a posh restaurant (that you don't have to cook yourself ), tandem skydiving (too much insurance risk I suppose), scuba lessons at an aquatic centre.What would others here consider a good reward?

Perhaps a West end show, matinee or evening as appropriate (probably too expensive!) Posh restaurant, (predictable but alwaya nice) or perhaps a champagne meal on a riverboat on the Thames. |

What's on earth have 'treats' ever been doing in the programme?
They are supposedly entrepreneurs seeking investment, not five year olds. Bizarre. It was always a 💩 idea and has only become increasingly 💩💩 as time has gone on. Scrap them. |

I don't mind, at least I saw the likes of Liz, Melody and Vana in a bikini. |

Has any member of the winning team ever REFUSED the 'treat'? Asking cos there's a lot of them that I wouldn't be interested in. More than that, that I'd positively REFUSE to do.
"Sorry Lord Sugar, I'm not going. Doesn't interest me remotely." "P*ss off back to the house then." |

Doing anything to do with cars wouldn't interest me in the slightest. I would refuse

Wasn't there one incidence where a team won but Lord Sugar refused to give them the treat due to the way they'd won the task?
Regarding refusal of treats, I think I'd have opted out of that anti-grav yoga in hammocks at the top of the Shard, last year I think. It looked like a trip to A&E should have included in that.

I'd have zero interest in any of the treats, I'd genuinely enjoy a cup of tea in the cafe more.
I'm so low maintenance

On hell's kitchen (which I know is the fakest show in the world) they generally get fantastic treats. Trips to Vegas, shopping trips, nice meals etc. One week they won a zorbing day on the beach. You'd be furious.

They used to get things like a boat tour down the Thames with drinks and shopping with a personal shopper and gift vouchers. Cook your own dinner nowadays is it?! I've not seen the show for a while but bloody hell...

They have been getting steadily worse and cheaper over the last few years. At times I've thought if I was there I'd probably go "If its all the same to you mate, I'd rather just go to bed and catch up on my sleep".

Didn't they go to Iceland a couple of years ago? Now that's a treat.
