So Sanjay's idea is a website to allow people to find out who the person they're perving over at the gym is?

Did anyone else think Mark looked properly ill this week? He was sweating buckets.

Katie was really lovely but her business plan was out of her depth. I thought it was adorable when Mark returned the house alone and Roisin still went out to go find Katie. Roisin is going to win this series.

Well that's my pre-season pick blown out the water thanks to an unsuitable business plan that probably shouldn't have made it onto the show to start with. All aboard Team Roisin I guess.

Solomon is an idiot, I'm amazed Bianca managed to pitch without loving up. The thing that makes me laugh is how unoriginal many of the ideas are, I know plenty of people who have thought about opening a fitness restaurant before, no doubt it has already been done. Sanjay's fitness social networking idea, has he heard of Bodyspace? I'm sure it's not the only one already in existence. Never mind getting personal trainers to pay for membership: I think someone like Joe Donnelly is doing fine on Facebook without using a niche social network he has to pay for. Lol at the close ups of Daniel's seethe face. I also thought Mark looked a bit ill, not just sweating but extremely pale complexion. Maybe his Achilles heel is being terrible with pressure. Karen should drop some bombs in the boardroom about all his backstabbing comments too, the Sanjay/Bianca thing was gold. Roisin/Daniel final for me.

Sugar was exceptionally bad this episode. He compared Katie's experience of working numerous roles in a restaurant with him having "been to McDonalds" and made a crack about "biscuits"(?) sounding like a Real Madrid player... Poor episode for me overall.

Hibiscus, only slightly better. I don't understand why Mark copped to buckling under pressure to the point he was literally shaking in his boots instead of pretending eg he had a cough, he had something caught in his throat, aliens stole his voice etc

It was Hibiscus, I think. I agree his McDonald's example was bollocks, but a lot of his examples are. He made an analogy about penalty takers missing the other week, in Sugar land Lionel Messi should be sat in the stands because he's missed a couple this season.

He really is a bellend. The McDonalds line about Katie was especially bad, it's just literally a thing that only a wanker would say to belittle her, and if it was anyone else anywhere else I'm sure she'd have challenged them on it

The sad thing is that out of all the material that was the best they chose to show. Jesus. The boardroom is almost always bullshit but it hit a new low tonight.

I doubt it would make it into the final edit though. They'd probably be contractually obliged to reshoot it to make him look like the big man.

The branding thing is fair play but I felt like between his fannying about with the skeleton and his perception of a £2 chilled dessert as a gift I think there is potential there, by which I mean potential for some brutal scenes in the interview next week.

I think its over eagerness - remember hes not from a sales background so haggling over a price isnt exactly a skill hes had to use. I could understand what he meant with the gift of a desert, Ive bought the other half a gu desert when shes had a bad day. I am interested to see how he handles the interviews tho.

I get the feeling that he has kind of got this far by being a nice sort of chap (not a bad thing, although he is no Tom ) I don't think he will win it but he is my favourite candidate this year as he just seems genuinely enthusiastic and happy to be there.ETA- He's been in once, according to this handy chart from Wikipedia  Rondette fucked around with this message at 14:12 on Dec 11, 2014 |

Solomon did seem like the Tom of this season, a smart young likeable tech start-up guy, so it's fitting that his business idea is not a tech start-up at all but a poorly thought-through lovely joke product. Admittedly he's seemed less smart as he's gone along so the willykini thing really doesn't surprise me anymore.

They wanted to keep the familiar formula though. They've even spent this whole series celebrating the fact that the show has been exactly the same for 10 years running.

Man I really liked Katie. She was one of the few candidates with common sense and I thought she was becoming one of the front runners. But yeah, Lord Sugar's never going to go with a restaurant as the winning business idea.

I missed the last couple of episodes because I've been busy and also I've kind of lost interest in this series (it has been a bit poo poo imo). It seems like Solomon is acting up for the cameras and not much else. I have a suspicion that he wanted to go on telly as a tactic to get twitter fame and I hope one of the interviewers will ask him stern and direct questions about this. I finally worked out that Róisín isn't reminding me of a particular person but of the zombies in weird BBC drama In The Flesh, with the piercing eyes. Also I was surprised to learn that Daniel is Jewish because I am quite sure that I remember him crossing himself during/after one of the boardrooms. Quite sure, but I may have imagined/dreamt it

As irritating as The Apprentice can be, at least it gives Cassetteboy a bloody good lot of material to work with. http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/tv/s108...-this-year.html edit: also a good reminder about how forgettable plenty of the candidates from the last few years have been.
