The Apprentice Series Five

Not much information out there yet. Starting on Wednesday 25th, BBC One. You're Fired! is also returning, though I never really bothered watching that before unless it was a particularly brilliant firing. No announcement regarding the participants yet, but the first task is listed on the WikiPedia site above. Something about starting a car cleaning company. Should be pretty fun to watch, as always. As soon as more is revealed I'll update this opening post.

Can't wait!! One of the few shows that I make an effort to watch as it broadcasts

[Hexx]

FUCK YEAH!

[toythatkills]

Less spoilers in this thread this year plz

Can't wait!

[Comrade]

Bring it the fuck on. The Celebrity Apprentice they had last week was a bit disappointing, with the only bit of an argument being Bianca from Eastenders geting a bit stroppy. But that shouldn't reflect on the main show - I still look forward to loathing every single one of them in the first few weeks, only to love my favourites like my own children in the final weeks.

One of the few trash TV shows I really enjoy, can't wait till it starts. Nothing better than seeing so many jumped up super egos that can't do anything, and yet think they are the best thing ever.

I hope the editing team don't make it even more like Big Brother this time. There was far too big a focus on personal feelings and purposely trying to upset/annoy each other last season for my liking.

Bring on the cannon fodder

[Smoothy]

One person has already bottled it (source).

Spoilered cos it'll be revealed in the first episode. Nothing major but just in case...

To me making money is better than sex.

He's probably doing it wrong.

They all look really freakish, don't they? Has someone put their picture through photoshop and stretched their features?

[Smoothy]

They look similar to various people from the last few series. Asian bird - check. Asian guy who looks like he loves himself - check. Knob wideboy - check. Prim and proper guy - check. Redhead - check. Nerdy girl - check.

She looks like she's killed before. And if she hasn't, she's perfectly prepared to do so to win the Apprentice.

[Hemzoozlefluff*]

Oh man...I can't wait.

[Halo]

Fire the person who did the photoshopping.

[dan_tm]

He's probably doing it wrong.

He's got it the wrong way round surely? You make loads of money so you can get more sex more easily.

Starring Alan Cummings as Ben Clark

[Plissken]

John Terry scrubbed up well.

[dan_tm]

That look is evil.

Yep, she looks so scary I'll bet that's her dildo on the right.

#5 looks like Crispin. And wasn't #2 on East Enders or something?

Anyway... yay! I've been regularly checking the wiki page waiting for season 5. Sadly, can't watch it live and partake in the discussion thread this year.

[marcus]
