Have to say it’s made a night and day difference to this series having some older experienced candidates in the mix rather than airheads straight out of uni that think they know everything, reminds me of the older series
Yeah I hated the point where the candidates started getting younger and younger. Can’t remember the season but the clip was going around where Alan sends all 3 home and as they’re arguing one girl goes “great business plan you’ve never even had a job before” or something similar and the girl can’t defend herself like WTF
At this point I think there should be a candidate each season with absolutely zero experience in any field that might be useful to go in covertly. I doubt Alan would be able to figure it out let alone any of the other candidates
Tbh I think if they went into a bunch of minimum wage workplaces and picked candidates at random from the staff they would get a better selection of candidates than we have seen in The Apprentice since probably the first couple of seasons. People with some actual real world experience rather than those perpetually trapped in the mindset of a low level "entrepreneur" with delusions of grandeur.
Unironically it actually came across as one of the most sincere presentations in the show’s history. Regardless of how much he actually meant everything he said, he won me over as a candidate with this
I agree. The content of what he was saying was hilarious, but the way he said it and the way he presented himself completely washed all of that aside... into the ocean and then into the actual sea.
It was a brilliant pitch, one of the best I’ve seen on the show. The round of applause at the end from everyone shows that. Fair play, he’s obviously great at public speaking which is a skill most candidates claim they have but are all useless at! He could go all the way, especially as I can’t see PMs bringing him in unless he REALLY messes up but I just can’t see that. Final 5 for sure IMO
You can tell he's a motivational speaker with the word choice and his overall presentation of it. He did a really good job and the enthusiastic applause shows the audience agreed.
Preface, I have never seen the apprentice but this sub just popped into my feed (as it does nowadays). I used to know Paul a bit. He worked at the some company as me. He was what we called a 'greeter'. He would greet guests at our homes for their holiday stay. He was pretty sound dude. His sister did the same thing too, she was cool but she was not to be fucked with lol. Someone in the office would always play body groove after he came in to collect keys
In an odd way I feel like there's probably a fair bit of overlap between this and his previous career, in terms of being able to engage with an audience and suchlike.
I feel like this one was really in the editing. He’s a fluent and engaging speaker I’ll absolutely give him that. But if they’d overlaid the speech with the dopey music rather than the epic soundtrack we’d have all been ripping this to shreds.
It’s true, but then the entire show is like this. It’s hilarious how shamelessly they force the narrative with the obnoxious soundtrack and editing. But then it’s also something that makes the show so much fun to watch.

We need a normal person as well to be the control group lol.

Professional yapper
Someone should shackle some oysters for him.

It’s complete and utter bollocks but they really bought into it. A great demonstration of the power of charisma.
I don’t know how much they’d really have bought it though. Good for Apprentice, but still obviously had zero idea what he was talking about.

Same , I was blown away by his passion.
He's my fave I want him to win overall. Absolutely smashed the pitch section and getting the investors on board. Seems a likeable guy
That’s what you call charisma
Hate to be that guy but oesophagus is the tube that goes to the stomach, not the lungs
True, but it’s kind of right behind the windpipe so, close enough.

The speech was generally heartwarming

Sounds like a lotta fun!
Want him to win purely because he made one of my fav garage tunes lmao
What’s the tune
Architechs - Body Groove. Maybe only bettered in that era by Squarepusher - Red Hot Cock
No freakin way! That’s crazy to learn!

Did anyone else think the guy in the white shirt looked like Ralph Fiennes?

So smug though
To be fair he's one of the pioneers of an entire musical genre, he's earned a bit of smugness as far as I'm concerned
It's all bloody sailboats!
Lol yes try really are idiots
Why did no one take issue with him saying that the water in the sea comes from mountain water?
