Reply to: The Apprentice - WTF???

Aren't they simply counting net worth as cash in the bank + assets? If you keep £40k as your reserve fund after dividends and salaries of £1million...

.

Fair enough, but cash at bank of £44K, assets of 70K (typically unpaid invoices in a consultancy) doesn't shout million pound turnover.
I'm willing to bet this is not a million pound turnover business, more like an unsuccessful contractor's.

The moral of the story is don't knock techie skills, they trump being on telly and knowing Lord Sugar any day.

Are these free services any good BTW... £1 for the real version from CH is so dirt cheap.

Well, they have more business expertise and experience than someone like Paul Kemsley, who has been dropped from recent Apprentice series for some strange reason. Possibly connected to his UK and US bankruptcy.

But you want those interviewing to be those you know well - CEO of McD is not really needed to interview someone about a business plan

[barrydidit]

Has any Apprentice, winner or not, ever been successful?
Last year's winner's business is this.
Does it only have 109 jobs on it?
And this is the great idea he pitched to that mediocrity Lord Sugar?
Another fooking rec cons in a crowded market?

You gotta laff at these morons.

106.

Either he's tulip hot and shifting these roles like a super-recruiter
or 3 have been pulled by the clients after your withering critique

Nobody knows who the CEO of BK or McD is either though. Sugar uses people he actually knows and works with, not 'celebrity' interviewers, which is more real.

Who she?

Ginger babies. Like a baby. Just so much harder to love.
– Katie Hopkins

It's comedy gold in a WTF!! kind of way.

Have a looky over on twitter

I read that former Apprentice 'star' and media whore Katie Hopkins is in full on "say controversial things to get on the telly" mode.

Do people actually buy these series on DVD to watch again? In my view they're as cringeworthy and about as watchable as an Adam Sandler movie. Only bit of the series I like to watch is the interviews, hilarious watching these idiots getting their carefully constructed fantasies demolished.

There is a BBC DVD of the "best bits" of the first four series. The US version only has series 1 on DVD.

Unfortunately, the US version doesn't do the interview stage any more - yet another difference between the two versions. UK version - Sugar gets in his mates (the people you only hear of because they do the interviews on The Apprentice) to do the interviews; Trump had the likes of the CEO of Dominos, CEO of Burger King, etc.

I didn't even know they put it out on DVD... perfect for streaming services to bulk up their library though.

The first season is available via Lovefilm as long as you have a multi-region DVD player.

It might be on YouTube as well, though.
