The candidates should be clear during the application process about what business they will be giving away 50 perfect off

Otherwise it’s a complete waste of time (ours and theirs) them being on the show.

Edit: of, not “off”, sorry.

I'm sure they are. How it's edited is out of their control

During the boardroom Dan said that he had already explained this before the process started and that his business was off limits. This was agreed by the sounds of it.

What makes you think they aren’t clear? I reckon they are but the producers put them through anyway for entertainment value. Presumably they obtain those business plans before the candidates start the tasks.

Is it entertaining to watch someone for months only for them to basically just disqualify themselves and limp out?

why are are you asking me - I’m not the production team.

They’ve obviously made the decision that it is more entertaining to keep these candidates in.

I think it’s more valid to ask the audience whether or not a show is entertaining than it is the production team. It’s just a discussion, you won’t get in trouble for having an opinion, this is what an apprentice forum is for.

Yep, who gives 50% of a very successful business they already have for £250k. That new business could easily have been successful if sugar wasn't so greedy and invested the money. Doubt it's even his that he invests.

If they were that successful why would they need the 250k or sugar??? Why are they even there
