All of them are the typical Apprentice candidate- cocky and arrogant!

Don't forget people they are trained to be cocky.

Whatever's shown on the Apprentice is unlikely how they act in real life.

It's interesting how two of them are 22 years old and really successful while that is only one year after many people have finished their degree and may not even have a job!

23 year old and food entrepreneur

Interesting how others have succeeded at business so early even though it seems everyone says that it is impossible to do.

It's possible, but lets face it, if your business was successful you wouldn't be going on the Apprentice. I doubt they have successful businesses that they built in three years with not much experience.
That Uzma sure has an.... "interesting" face.
Some of them are really scary, and a lot seem to be in the food business.

Can't wait for it to start, it's the day of my first exam too!

well you never know. People probably go on the apprentice because it's fun and get famous (of course only for a short amount of time) and you can't guarantee that they aren't successful because they don't have much experience and only be running it for 3 years that is the typical thing someone would say who is trying to give excuses for themselves in my opinion.


I just did some research.

but you might be right because the 22 year old restaurant owner's restaurant has closed down but I think she is doing 'property PR'. So not something the apprentice mentioned lol.

and the other guy http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p017h0j7/profiles/alex-mills

the company whcih he started at 19 was a 'slate sign business' so it doesn't sound that impressive and now he is working as a solicitor so the slate sign business wasn't very successful then, i'm guessing.

SO they are both not very successful even though they are shown to be successful.

But I hope that there is someone actually successful people for example, the owner of the real estate investment company... or someone at least.
Ah one of my favourite shows to watch on TV is back :ahee:

Having watched rather a lot of the US apprentice in the last few months (Celebrity and regular) it'll be good to see the UK version back. More knobs for us all to laugh at.

I still haven't seen the US version, it should be a laugh.


It seems to me as if this series has some old faces (look a likes), Susan Ma, Stella English, Kate Walsh....
