Mixture of potential and hopeless.

The girl who was fired last week just wanted to argue and be heard all the time. Had to go!
 
Not sure if this is worth a watch but will give the first episode a go :)) Stuart Baggs the BRAND! was my all time favourite :yk boy could that kid talk lol
 
Hoping for a better series this time! Last couple have been a let down tbh.
 
Have to say I missed last year completely because I was bored of the format and had other things to do but this series i'm back on it and i'm hooked now. It's great to see some of them go on a journey or others crash and burn no matter how contrived the narratives are by the editors.
 
Usual over confident people hoping the conquer the world yet failing the simplest tasks:maqsood. Even the winner mostly remains with Sugar for a few months before moving on. I believe this is the last series.
 
Have you seen the current series so far ? any potential for an entertaining season ?

Yes I have watched both episodes.

So far seems like there will be potential but some also a lot of stupidity from candidates in the series.
 
I know how heavily edited, silly and contrived it all is - but 2 episodes in and I am completely hooked! Can’t deny how entertaining it is to watch.
 
I think they've dropped any pretence of it being a business competition and it's just wannabe models/actors/Big Brother z-list rejects etc now and they play on the drama/acting up rather than any real business lessons.
 
Unfortunately he did, was an asthma attack sadly

damnnn... id watched his bits on youtube

another guy i found funny was an irish guy from 5-6 years ago who used to use a lot of cliche's and idioms lol

disappointing..

the earlier seasons (both this and the US) always had a handful of competent people
 
The guy who was fired this weak was awful.

Emotional and panicked under pressure.

Looked like he was going to cry all the time.
 
Probably the worst season when it comes to any business sense...but by God is it funny. Kurran may be the weirdest, lowest IQ contestant in history.
