The Apprentice 2023

 

 The Apprentice tv series is now in it's fourth week.  Don't worry if you missed any, just watch the first few from last year, as the candidates are clones every year you'll not notice the difference.

 The series now in it's 17th year, sadly it's not better, indeed it's a shadow of it's former self.  The candidates are the same tired, bored clones they have every year, so-called business people, yet incapable of basic maths or English.  Unable to work out hard questions like how much is 45x400 on paper (it's 18.000 ) Last year they couldn't spell Arctic, yeah real tough questions!

 Lord Sugar has lost his fire, he used to be brilliant, really sharp and cutting, now it's tired old jokes and the "with regret your fired".  Why regret?  They were crap!

 Part of the problem is the BBC is more concerned about it being entertainment, than actually picking business people, thats why you get so many joking candidates now.  Just check out an early series to see the difference.  Back then pretty much any would have made a business partner.  Now theres about 3 or 4 actually real candidates, the rest are filler, padding, canon fodder for sacking.  

 Lord Sugar probably know which one of the 3 or 4 he'll most likely hire before the series starts, he can get a good idea from the business plans.  It's not fixed, one will go on to become a business start up chance, it's just padded to make the series "better viewing"... Thats a matter of opinion, not mine anyway.
