Two endings are filmed in order to ensure that the winner is not revealed in advance. Lord Sugar does not tell the production team and the finalists about the identity of his new business partner until the day before the transmission of the final programme. (from the BBC's "The Workings of the Apprentice")
larkim Oct 2015 3:49pm, 7 Oct 2015 264 posts	0 larkim Really? Didn't know that. Not quite sure why they bother with filming two endings - must put a bizarre strain on the two finalists to "act" as if they have been fired / hired, particularly if the post-activity boardroom session is clearly pointing one way. bbc.co.uk

PaulaMc Oct 2015 4:07pm, 7 Oct 2015 3,803 posts	0 PaulaMc I didn't know that, either. Last night we had a quick look at the BBC website that shows the candidates this year. I'm pleased/sorry to say that they look as stupid and full of themselves as all the candidates in every other series. Just a bunch of inflated egos waiting to be popped. And I'll still watch all of it.

Oranj Oct 2015 7:03pm, 7 Oct 2015 137 posts	0 Oranj That seems like a good idea. Thanks to the Great British Betting Scandal, I've known who won GBBO since the first week (although I have to say it's not spoilt my enjoyment of the series, and ditto Apprentice if I ever found out the winner - they are good fun to watch and I'm not a betting man).
