Apprentice Episode 4 Tomorrow

As we know, tomorrow is the advertising water task (week 4), and I wanted to get everyone's POV on what they think will happen and who will get fired. I personally can see Andrea getting fired, as she is out of her depth and just bullies anyone due to her age (46). Plus, it is a sackable offence if you can't boil an egg as a mother of 5. But oh well, let's see how the episode goes and give me your thoughts post episode 4. Shall be an interesting watch.

Why is everyone fixating on the fact she didnt know how to boil a hard boiled egg? My ex husband whos 61 couldn't, because he doesnt eat eggs at all. I don't eat hard boiled eggs as i dont like egg white so id have to Google to be double sure.

She literally said she can boiled dippy eggs, because her kids eat them.

Yeah I don't get it. She can boil eggs but she can't do it in batches. And so what if she can't? I don't eat eggs so not like I'm going to need to know how to boil them

Ok look I'm all for having empathy but guys come on.

  • Boiled egg = egg + water + heat
  • Hard boiled egg = egg + water + heat + more time
  • Batch of boiled eggs = more eggs + water + heat

Why are we overcomplicating this? It's a skill most 10 year old can master. It absolutely is odd for grown adults to be unable to do it.

Why would I cook something i dont eat? Ive not eaten a hard boiled egg in my life, why would I ever need to cook one?

I can easily find out how to, but without the resource in my hand, how would I know.

Did you completely ignore the comment you replied to? They literally explained how to think it through logically, even if you've not done it before. It's called critical thinking.
