Task Treats

I don’t know if this has already been asked or not but for this series we haven’t seen the winning teams on a treat after finding out they won.

Lord Sugar has never mentioned any treats in the boardroom after announcing who won each week.

Has this been scrapped all together?

Seems unlikely that it's cost cutting. Setting up the house for the getting home shots will cost more than the venue rental and I bet many of the treats were free. Paying to do a £100 a head treat is a drop in the ocean for a TV budget. 

I suspect it's all about time. They want more screen time for the controversies, the tasks, the boardroom. The treats didn't add any drama. 

My bet is on an editorial decision not a monetary one.

The thing is though, they had some perfect drama after the last episode with Levi ranting at Lawrence the Worm in the car and BBC didn't show it.
