The Apprentice: is it just me?
My wife likes to watch The Apprentice - all I can see is a bunch of arrogant, shouting and obnoxious plonkers who I'd never want to meet in a
month of Sundays! I certainly wouldn't want to waste my evenings watching them scratching each others' eyes out...
Or are they really wonderful people that I should try to sympathise with? (NOT!)

First series of this was the best, with the people who were on looking the most genuine and not trying to look like they are the best (ie a prick on
camera).
Reminds me of what Big Brother became

The only good part is Sir Alan. The others are people you wouldn't want working for you, and certainly wouldn't want to work FOR.

Never watched it, never gonna. Along with all the soaps and "reality" and "celebrity" crap they insult our intelligence with.

I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

That just about sums up my take on it - I hear all the ranting on the TV in the other room, and stay well away...

I refuse to watch anything along these lines, and if anyone puts it on I don't even look up from my laptop

No blood, sex, fast cars, guns, explosions... Not even an old-fashioned punch up. What movies are you watching that are as good as a bunch of satchels
arguing about who's done poo at selling stuff?

Genuinely depresses me, all the worst qualities in humans packed neatly into one show
The mental gymnastics a landlord will employ to justify immoral actions is clinically fascinating. Just because something is legal doesn't make
it moral.

Your all wrong I'm afraid!
It makes you feel good to watch this kind of show from time-to-time!
The reason being that I quite simply realise how normal and lucky I am to live the life I do rather than the sad self centered existence that these
individuals live!
So, in a 'nut shell', it makes me feel good! 
You only live once - make the most of it!

My wife forgot last night's episode, and missed it (hurrah!). It's repeated tonight (booo!).
I haven't told her that it's on tonight... (snigger...).

It's getting worse - the wife asked me to get the last episode up on the BBC iPlayer, because she missed it the night before...
...there's no hope!
(I went in the garage for some peace...)
