The last time I watched the apprentice was in 2013 (or around then).
There was a contestant who claimed to think ‘outside the box’. He said he was ‘like an apple pie but when you bit into it, it was full of oranges’

Which of course is an orange pie.

It turns out he was not thinking ‘outside the pie’, rather subverting peoples expectations of what was in it.
 
The show started in 2005 and was initially an interesting piece of real reality - contestants with some ability given challenging tasks. Now its a show populated by ignorant egos.

I take no pleasure in watching it - and don't.

Were the TV companies to broadcast a show in which the antics of the mentally challenged and inadequate were intended as entertainment we would all (I hope) find it completely offensive. The Apprentice is like a trip back to the freak shows of the Victorian era.
 
Over the last few years my tv viewing has changed in as much that I no longer watch soaps ( east Enders was the first to ) followed by the others , then anything containing the word celebrity, then island and of course diaries. Add to the mix Hell’s Kitchen, wife swap , married at first sight, 90 day fiance etc etc then comes all the shopping channels that pollute the remaining channels then you suddenly realise there is very little worth watching on tv . Thank god for Netflix and the like like at least you have a better chance of finding something entertaining or educational or even funny ..
