Same, it was pretty good but again it’s all handed to them. All they needed to do was go and pitch to get prices down and find customers (which was already at a coach ticket store, so it’s not exactly hard). I feel like everything is handed to them, there’s no real test.

They just needed to decide where they wanted to go, and the show producers got them interviews with the owners to pitch a price point. They didn’t do that.
That store they were selling from, not everyone can do that. I know were that store is, it’s by piccadilly circus. You and I couldn’t, we don’t own that shop. The show rented half of it out for the day for them or whatever. It doesn’t work like that in the real world. The cost of that alone would have eaten up their profits. These tasks are unrealistic sometimes.

I could go on and on..

Thats a very fair point. But at the end of the day its television. I dont believe alan sugar conducts himself in that manner in reality, or else nobody would want to work with him - admittedly he is not so bad now but the first few seasons he was very stern and borderline insulting. What i will say is that the caliber of candidates has dropped noticeably this year. The Aussie is quite impressive
