I hope they shake things up a bit. It was getting too predictable. We know when there is a double firing, we know they have interviews and tasks....Make it a bit more shocking please.

I'd genuinely like to see competent people on the show. Just for once.

Instead of getting a group of people destined to clash personality-wise, I'd like to see people given the chance to use their initiative, work how they would in their current positions and not be forced into sleep-deprived competitive lunacy.

 

Just for one series, then it can go back to normal and I can staqrt hating the entrants once again.

I think that is why the first few were great and then I think they started doing it for the lols and conflict. I've seen comments that the cliched puffery statements they make are either given to them or they are asked to say some and just have the cameras recording until they get enough that they want.

Be nice to just have a pared back people doing business.

I quite like the beer brewing program on Amazon at the moment where there isn't any eliminations, just work through the weeks and the judges pick a winner each week for the task and then an over all winner from the week winners. Not sure if that would translate but it is a bit less aggressive

This. It's almost become synonymous with every reality TV format out there. They just want boisterous personalities who will add spice to a TV show about business.

 

For all of it's perceived interest and success, never forget that this is the show that gave us the ever so wonderful and pleasant, Katie Hopkins! 🤦

I have a vague memory of the series 1 candidates fighting over packed lunch supplies in the house after they'd been told any lunch they bought would come out of their task profits.

 

Not that I disagree that as it's gone on they seem to shop more and more for the zany personalities. But there were plenty of crazy-people arguments in the early series.

Reminds me of that

about that proposed idea, though I do think it would be more enjoyable with professionals.
