The Apprentice 2014

[:odey:]

You need to remember how fake the Apprentice is though..

- Design costs (you telling me that designer works for free?)
- Pitch costs (yeah, I'm sure Mayfair locations give people pitches for free in the real world)
- Delivery of the candles (also free, apparently)

So many costs that are unaccounted for.

Ye I suppose the, it's gonna be on TV so you get free advertising is a big perk.

[lemons]

i cant believe anyone would buy a candle for like £20

Pitch wise it depends on who's selling - if someone had something that could be good they probably wouldn't charge them for the pitch as at the end of the day they'll make money if they can sell it. The people making the product designing etc. are probably paid by sugar at the end of the day it's not the important thing the important thing is what they come up with and what they do with that

The thing that always amuses me is most week someone ignores the market research Oh I remember one year someone asking something along the lines do the french love their children.

Apologies, I wasn't referring to the product pitch, but more the placement of their stall. For example, then they are selling in a huge shopping centre - pitches there do not come cheap.

It is very important - they haven't made £500 profit, if their fixed costs happen to be huge (which they always are, realistically). No normal person can do what they do on the Apprentice, because no normal person can set up their stall in the middle of one of the biggest shopping centres in the UK without any outlays.

Sadly it would make boring TV if they had to secure the places do all the paperwork etc. Basically they have the tools the show's about how they use them. The women in the video I posted I think her business idea she hadn't thought of the cost of anything and thought she'd just make full profit

It would seem firing more people is his only method of increasing views :L

The begging by that Ella girl was hilarious though

I could sense that ending last night. I thought all three of them were equally useless and he did seem very iffy about ella throughout the last 15 minutes, but yeah still wow at it.

Lord Sugar loves this multiple firing business. Next season I'm literally expecting the twist to be like, 'this year as it's the 11th season, we're having 111 candidates, but still only in 12 weeks.'
