I have been a huge Apprentice fan since that first episode long ago and I just cant wait for this new series. Obviously, like any reality TV show, The Apprentice now attracts different types of applicants and inevitably has become more gimmicky, but I still love the format of the tasks and the inter-group tensions that get created. I am so excited about the new series and this will be my first DS Apprentice experience (I am a long-time lurker and always wanted to contribute most to the Apprentice forums!!) - I cant wait.

Anyone with me?

Glad I am not the only one.

The new series is scheduled to start in two weeks ... the 26th seems likely?? Though Im not totally sure.

The characters of series 3 will be hard to beat, but Im sure the recruitment people/casting directors will have done their best to find some remarkable charcters for us.

I know - she was clearly the best candidate (as was the Badger before her)

Reading some quotes today from the new Apprentices eg "I am uniquely excellent"; "there is not I in team, but there is one winner"; "I have never failed and expect to win" etc I cant wait for it to start.

The egos are something else - I am not sure I would like to met/work with any of them in real life but great TV guarenteed.

Me!!!!

Especially since I have an extremely tenuous link with one of the participants this year.

My husband and some colleagues were discussing the forthcoming series at work (he doesn't watch it ) and one of his colleagues revealed that his ex-girlfriend is on it this year (I said it was a tenuous link )

They, of course, asked him what she was like. The answer was one word.


Rottweiller.


So at least one feisty contestant, who will either be loved for her brutal forthrightness or loathed for it.

Roll on Wednesday - I can't wait!

LOL, Rotty as in Badger (detemind) or Katie( yeah well!)

Cant wait and it is not like me to wish my holidays away.

Can anyone remember the first series and then there used to be this thing called the Armstrongs on after it?

Have you checked out the Apprentice videos on the BBC site? One of the girls described herself as rottweiller - is that her?

They all start out sounding like Monty Burns in the Simpsons but last year's winner wasn't like that at all.

Its a reverse of the saying - nice guys come last. In the Apprentice nasty guys come last.

True, In the apprentice and other RTV you often cannot tell a book by its cover but generally Sir Alan sees through those who are just ego with no substance so the good man or woman can do well (Tim, Ansell, Kristina, Simon) as can strong personalities if they back their words with action (Saira, Ruth)

I'm really looking forward to it, but it doesn't seem to have been advertised very much - I've only just seen an advert for it, I wouldn't have known it was starting this week if I hadn't! More publicity please BBC!

I hope we don't get anyone trying too hard to be like Trey, it would just be too embarassing and obvious!

I'm excited too! I'm a new fan of the show, watched it last year for the first time and loved it, wish I had started watching it a couple of series earlier.

Just a bit
After last year, I'm going to watch it with my BB eye, laugh at them and not take it too seriously.
