What the fuck is the appeal of this thing? Watching it or taking part, whichever. Utter cunts on both sides.
The Apprentice, too. Absolute fucking arseholes crying in front of some cock in a suit.

Quite agree. Both of them are capitalist/materialist wish-fulfilment drivel featuring truly dreadful people. When you realize that the King of Amstrad is actually the least unlikeable person on either show, you know you're well into the. sub-basement of TV hell The only possible use for these programmes is as a reference point to work out which motherfuckers are going to be first up against the wall when the glorious revolution comes. No need for a show trial. Just show a clip, then destroy them and render their carcasses down for pills, soap and novelty ashtrays and lampshades, so that in death they can be more useful to humanity than they ever were in life.
I'm a hippy you know. Peace and love.

I used to like the Apprentice but gave up some time ago. The appeal for many was in watching a bunch of yuppy types who think they are the next Andrew Carnegie getting their comeuppance. It was all about laughing at their bullshit rather than a celebration of it. It was hate telly.

It was all about laughing at their bullshit rather than a celebration of it. It was hate telly. Exactly. It had some of the funniest moments I've seen on tv in the last twenty years. I think this was my favourite episode "I am your boss" Well past its sell by date now though.

The Apprentice is one of the few things that I do bother to watch these days. It's formulaic drivel, but watching the useless embarrass themselves in public is always fun. Especially with a bottle of wine down your neck.
Dragons Den always sounded like a good idea, but as soon as you see it, you get that there's literally no fun. Rich people asking some bloke with a possibly good idea if they're guaranteed his soul if they chuck a relative pittance into the pot.
I remember seeing some documentary about the dragons once, which was meant to emphasise how they were all self-made millionaires. Opening minutes started about one of them running their parents caravan park from the age of 16 or something. Might not be Disneyland, but I never got given a business as a teenager.

50 Cent's version of the Apprentice was pretty fun to watch, especially seeing blokes with names like Cornbreadd (not a typo) being entrepreneurial.

Is it a Brit show? We have a version here with the same name. In the US they have their own production, and call it Shark Tank.
Dunno which came first.

A mate, “Professor Putty”, was on it. He’s not a cunt. Just a guy trying to make a living out of an idea.
He works the night shift in Sainsbury’s.
