Fat cockney bloke just needs to get himself on a winning side somehow.
Given that it must take them a whole heap of time to get dressed, why does the TV feel the need to suggest they really only have 20 minutes? It wouldn't make any difference if they just said "Taxi will be here at 5:30" or "Cars will be here in an hour".

Thatcher was very lucky, clusterfuck on both sides, but a win by £15.

Classic apprentice editing too, paint the winning side as a catalogue of errors, the losing side as getting it mostly right. And in customer service terms, I reckon one lot had a good time and the other lot didn't. The choice of the 10% rebate was I'm sure in the gift of the production team as much as the client. Either that, or it was edited so heavily that it massively distorted the actual event (very likely!).
I swore I wouldn't get into this this year, but I'm gettnig sucked in!

Given that the PM had* a nut allergy and was in the meeting discussing menu! then blamed someone else for it!
*(probably still has a nut allergy)

Thomas was not going to get sack last night after volunteered to take the girls place. Last nights challenge was set by lord sugar as been about luxury etc and the teams planned the event before meeting the client which surely is not the way you would do it.
In those sort of challenges the editing always makes the losers look like they should win and the other way around

"We assure you that the drink will not run out"
Four bottles of prosecco for 15 people as the reception and 1 bottle per person on the train was her original idea. Have you ever been on a corporate event / trip?

I saw an episode of the American Apprentice once where one of the team members voluntarily took another’s place. Trump fired him for being so stupid as to have a sense of fairness.

I am so bored with it all now. Wouldn't you think that the candidates would have binge-watched the previous series and got a good sense of what each task is looking for?

It would be interesting to watch a filming of the actual tasks to see how much they are guided around the locations etc by the filming schedule vs how much of it is more like "Challenge Anneka" with them making decisions on the fly. They are massively constrained in the tasks in terms of what they can and can't do and innovation is practically removed as an option. All for understandable practical reasons of course about filming a TV show and ensuring no-one gets killed through serving raw defrosted prawns etc etc.
But it does mean that it is looking increasingly formulaic, and you do wonder how they end up making the same mistakes as in previous years etc.
