The Apprentice: season 14, episode 3 recap: "Your Donuts Make Me Go Nuts"

TV Feature | Becky Suter | 20th October 2018

This week, a tricky technical leaves one contestant in tears when our amateur bakers are asked to create 2000 show-stopping doughnuts, despite the fact that their backgrounds range from digital marketing to tree surgery and absolutely nothing to do with running a pop-up bakery. As the heat rises, who will be Star Baker, who will leave the tent, and who’s got a soggy bottom? It’s The Great British Bake O-h hang on.

The Apprentice: season 14, episode 2 recap: "Bad Boys, Ink"

TV Feature | Ed Williamson | 14th October 2018

I noticed the other day that A Question of Sport is still on TV. Literally still being broadcast on televisions. So as much as I would've been delighted if The Apprentice had been cancelled this year, I suppose it's understandable it's further down the list.

The Apprentice: season 14, episode 1 recap: "Can You Do It Squid Pro Quo?"

TV Feature | Becky Suter | 4th October 2018

Theresa May was right - the British people need to know an end is in sight. 14 years of this and not even Alan's Twitter can bring down the behemoth that is The Apprentice. I'd take Lord Sugar's Racist World Cup over the next 12 weeks of more corporate cum dumpsters trying to flog pork sandwiches to a vegan cafe before being sent home in a black cab (Note: this is a lie).

The Apprentice: season 13, episode 12 recap: "Born a Gambling Man"

TV Feature | Ed Williamson | 1st February 2018

Now I've finally got round to watching the last one because my Sky box had inched up to 97% and I needed a quick cull (cheerio, 12GB of Electric Dreams, but it was never going to happen), I can say without fear of contradiction that last year's Apprentice very definitely featured some people performing futile tasks in order to appease a crotchety old man, like when you have to go round your nan's and retune her digital radio because you "know about computers".

The Apprentice: season 13, episode 11 recap: "Dos and Don'ts"

TV Feature | Becky Suter | 11th January 2018

Having recently joined the ranks of the "funemployed" (have laptop, will travel: hmu), I've been manically combing the internet for interview tips to help me land that dream position as CEO of the UK's premiere puppy-petting zoo. As such, I think I could give these candidates a few tips on interview techniques, although it's redundant anyway because apparently, anyone can win these days.

The Apprentice: season 13, episode 10 recap: "John Fashionu"

TV Feature | Ed Williamson | 12th December 2017

Good job it's my turn, because what I don't know about fashion isn't worth knowing. I bought three pairs of trousers the other week. On the same day. I know.

The Apprentice: season 13, episode 9 recap: "The Bushra Tucker Trial"

TV Feature | Becky Suter | 5th December 2017

The internet called and said I was PROBABLY going to be named "Apprentice-recapper (person) of the year", but I would have to agree to an interview and a major photoshoot. I said probably is good enough for me, when are you free? I can do any time next week. But they never called back. Didn't want it anyway.

The Apprentice: season 13, episode 8 recap: "It's a Doggy Dog World"

TV Feature | Becky Suter | 27th November 2017

Unlike cars, dogs are interesting. There are lots of dogs. Some I can name. Some I can't. But I love all of 'em. This week's show has plenty of doggos, coupled with hilarious dog lookalikes of some of the candidates sourced by my own hand. No bones about it, this was one of my fave episodes, not least because Charles called himself a turd-catcher. His words, not mine.

The Apprentice: season 13, episode 7 recap: "Expando Ballet"

TV Feature | Ed Williamson | 21st November 2017

Because cars aren't in the least bit interesting, and anyone who thinks they are interesting is an imbecile, it is especially hard for me to get around the fact that I was quite engaged by this episode of The Apprentice. A lot of it was about cars, you see.

The Apprentice: season 13, episode 6 recap: "Bruged Egos"

TV Feature | Ed Williamson | 13th November 2017

Off we head to Bruges, city of culture, chocolate and small-scale fraud. You get the feeling this is one member state for which March 2019 can't come fast enough.
