Mike Soutar is the fairest interviewer, he can make a point by asking fair questions and presenting evidence to back his claim without having to throw insults
And Claudina
I agree, Linda Plant just seems to insult the moment she gets the opportunity
It’s not insult, it’s called LOGIC. You’re welcome.
@@ylayourlittleadvisor2927 not questioning her logic, just saying she always throws insults when she can when it’s not necessary
The Interview stage, also known as 3 Bad Cops + Claudine. I prefer the bad cops.
"Would I be able to respond to this?"
"Not really."
So Claude 😂
😂
He said, "Not necessarily".
@@ezra3776 nonetheless still funny though
@@rainbowlady1532 I think he's awful. I don't understand why people would like or admire that sort of behaviour.
@@ezra3776 Claude's one of those people who you either admire or detest. Not much middle ground about the guy.
It was unbelievably boring and the quality of business plans and ideas this year were terrible. I have no idea how you could go into this process or bother applying without a proper business plan that considers the risks, barriers to entry and a scale up plan.
Another thing that got to me, advocating for sustainability, but manufacturing all the way in China? 😂😂😂 Absolutely foolish
The only investable one is Harpreet's. But she has the sister involved - so foolish!
tbf if you import the cotton from china u may as well make the clothes there too
@@FleetAdmiral833 couldn’t possibly begin to have confidence in any one them
Sorry for the late response but it was interesting that in the 2023 series Lord Sugar asked one of the candidates if her business plan was drawn up with the help of an accountant. Presumably it's not against the rules, but wonder would it be worth shelling out a few hundred quid to fine tune it?
@@garycarver5005 definitely worth it. I didn't bother this year as the show has become a dumbed down joke. I heard the candidates this year were even worse than the last. Some even said Lord Sugar shouldn't hire anyone and double next year's investment!
Mike Soutar actually teaches and mentors with his interviews. The few minutes those ladies spent with him are precious and highly educative. They should cherish those moments as it will go a long way in helping them in their future endeavours.
I love the 'buying up of websites' scheme. She should have known he's previously played that card!
I don't understand why candidates keep tripping up on this 🤦♂️
@@anneeq008
Yep.
If IF I ever had the opportunity to be on *The Apprentice* I hope I wouldn't make s *schoolboy error* like that 🙄
@@twold4this I just tried to go on that website now as well and nobody owns it. I wonder what she's doing now 🤔
@@twold4this I just tried to go on that website now as well and nobody owns it. I wonder what she's doing now 🤔
Does anyone remember who the first person he did it to was?
This whole series consisted of the team that was least hopeless winning each week! Absolutely no-one stood out as having investable business skills!
@@Steves_fish Stephanie was solid for most of the series, but she crashed and burned at the end
@@Steves_fishharpreet was always ridiculously bas
Someone with real experience and skills......wouldn't bother with this show. They'd be too busy working.
Because most of them were diversity casts
I knew that Brittany would be eliminated the moment Claude said the interview was “terminated”
Not as savage as the infamous Solomon interview though.
@@eclectica1 it’s a bloody DISGRACE. You sent me pictures of sailboats 😂
It would have been better for her and for the show if she had got fired much earlier and one of the candidates with an actual functioning business got to the end. She had zero chance of winning and didn't need to get humiliated like that, it was just sad
@@themosteliteyoutuberintheu3162 you're taking the piss
We all did mate 😹😹
"Why's your growth been so pedestrian?" Damn, I'm using that one
Mike's interviews are the best, because he researtches the candidates in detail and he actually provides fair criticism and feedback, he has done the website thing before, so I am surprised Catherine didn't know about the importance of copyright. Claude and Linda try to be edgy and controversial.
Facts.
Plus Linda's "scariness" seems quite pantomimic/stagey. I'd say she's more snooty and or bitchy than intimidating.
this had nothing to do with copyright
The two people that lied (about ownership and designing her own products) made it to the final, I guess that shows how bad the other plans were. This years apprentice was sad :(
Girl your acting like it’s the end of the world. It’s just a show. Anyways Kathryn and harpreet outsold 😂
@@tropicalmelon6262 fr
I just noticed Kathryn used the same design that she got called out for stealing and claimed she designs everything in her final pitch. Shambles 😅
They're pitching themselves for reality TV in a year or two, not for actual investment and a real business, the whole show has been going downhill for a few years now, there used to be a point where at least half of the candidates had some intellect and chance of being genuinely investable.
Kathryn lied but Harpreet didn’t really because she did say she was the owner and put in her business plan she shares it with her sister, I think Claude had a problem with the fact that someone else was involved with the business and not the fact that she lied.
People talk about Claude and Linda being the real threats but Mike has to be the most underrated interviewer he really tries corner you with your bold claims and trolls you into submission like exposing Daniel on his salesman of the year award or showing a ready meal person that their 'luxury meal' already exist or taking someone's idea for website as shown here and even exposing a guy who claimed to do a rubix cube in under a minute
I love Mike, also I love how he just calmly presents facts to catch them out, it’s really brutal in a quiet way and I love that 😂
@@reececollison5101 Exactly if you saw the interviews in the latest season Karren literally snapped at someone calling her by her first name when plenty have done it before and made someone cry. Linda also told a candidate to go back to being an air hostess which is very low even if they weren't the best candidates. Mike was the only one who made factual statements and rightfully questioned about it in an articulate way like when he brought up someone putting a confidentiality agreement in their business plan while being asked to review it which upset him but he didn't have to resort to insults like the rest.
This year's Apprentice has been very boring. The last task, when the 2 men were sacked, should have been the end. No sales from either team in week 10! "I'm learning, I take that on board etc, etc". Lord Sugar should have sacked the lot!!
Series 11 had no orders in week 10 as well 😂
I hate the"no experience" argument. How do you get experience unless you go and do it?!
and THAT is the Question...
That isn't the point of the question. It's almost like a test, because any half sane employer will know that you can't have had much experience. At least 2 of them flat out lied about it... And they failed the test straight off the bat. Don't forget, a huge part of an interview is just getting a feel for what someone will be like to work with, or to be the boss to - that alone is very often more important than the experience.
Ikr
That is fine for a base level job, but its much easier to make a a self employed business a success with experience in the field.
...
Education.
Maybe the most Savage interviews in the history of The Apprentice. Even Claudine was more ruthless than usual, and she usually the nice one.
Nothing will EVER eclipse the Solomon interview. If I was him, with the way Claude played about with him and passed him between his paws before DEVOURING him I may well have jumped out of that window 😭😭😭
@@anneeq008 That's fair. That one is above all others when taken individually. I was just thinking in terms of the interviews when taken as a whole across each of the series.
If this is the calibre of the best business people has to offer, the future is bleak. I'm not saying I would do any better, but I'm not putting myself up to it.
The show has given up on actually trying to find the best talent, it’s more entertainment-orientated now
There are some very big business people but when they do well you start to cry. There will always be talented people in all fields.
Very bleak. In my opinion, they're just there for shiggles.
You can’t be that naive. They don’t recruit the best people, because the tasks would be a discuss and boring to watch. They pick people with flaws that will be exploited and revealed, and they make sure different personalities can clash with each other.
Still can’t believe Stephanie made it to the final 4! Should’ve been one of the two guys who got fired during the double in her place.
Mike buying the domains were hilarious hahaha
To me that was so bloody hilarious. You can buy a protected domain for something like £40 / year. Includes emails and everything. The fact she didn't even do that is so stupid.
The interviews were so tame this year
Claude doesn't seem AS scathing or abrupt in these clips, or is that just me?
@@rainbowlady1532 because they were all women. And it's "chauvinistic" to aggressively put down women.
@@anneeq008 not quite. I recall him in past series during the interview segments being a lot more sarcastic and blunt, regardless of who the participant was.
0:42 me trying to be nice when a customer comes at me with a complaint 😂
Do the candidates ever watch the previous series?
The mistake of not buying your web domains has happened before.
The apprentice went down hill when they started picking these inexperienced TV wannabes. It was so good back in the day when you had people who had relatively successful careers already.
4:23 The Interview is Terminated!!! 👀😳😲
"You're going to have an uncomfortable time with me."
That opening phrase alone is how you know this is for TV and isn't a normal job interview.
Yeah if that was opening line in my interview I would walk out there
No shit Sherlock!
A colleague of mine recently had his 6 month review and that’s pretty much exactly how it started 😂. I guess that’s what happens when you haven’t delivered anything in months!
I mean they AREN'T normal job interviews are they. This is after months of working on projects which the interviewers will have been observing them on as well.
That's brutal. I haven't seen apprentice in years and this may be enough incentive to jump back into it!
You know you're in trouble when Mike asks if you own the website
An interview with Claude isn't an interview. It's a lecture.
1:53 not even Amazon or Google could do that. Septuple (7 times) increase their revenue from year 1 to year 2. The producers must read these business plans beforehand and get a good laugh and select them to appear on the show. The huge loss was just the icing on the cake
People have been showing real concern for Claude, saying he's lost a lot of weight and doesn't look well.
Whatever's going on he seems still as mentally sharp as ever. Same old Claude.
He was involved in a rather nasty bike crash last year, hence why he wasn't involved over the past ten weeks.
I'm just happy to see he's on the mend.
Apparently Linda plant potty has always been a car crash.
A Protein Shake With Vodka?!?! 🤔🤨🧐
What a load of shit lol
Mental 😂
I wonder if Lord Sugar will start adopting that phrase, "With respect... you're TERMINATED"
An interview with Claude isn't an interview. It's a lecture
I wonder how many bakeries and online clothing shops Alan Sugar can invest in with his apprentice-winners before he realises the competition they're snuffing out is each other
Do parents really dress their children in designer clothing in England? Is the contestant talking about designer clothing such as Gucci or Louis Vuitton and not high street like Adidas or Nike. Would people go out of their way to authenticate items such as Nike and if you are rich enough to buy luxury items for your children why would they buy second hand?
Yes she means high end designer like Gucci and Louis Vuitton. I guess the whole point of the second hand thing is that it’s more sustainable as children grow out of their clothes quite fast so instead of throwing the clothes away, Steffs platform would be good to advertise them on. Not every rich person is buying designer, there are people that always buy designer items for themselves that they can barely afford. It makes sense that a parent would want to spoil and kit their kid out in designer clothes and the clothes being second hand drastically decreases the price of them, making it easier and more accessible for parents to purchase.
This is by far the weakest cohort there's been on the apprentice since season 1.
It's like watching junior apprentice
In surprise the finals were women 😂
I want to see Mike's business plan now
This was a terrible season, the calibre of the contestants was so low
They should get better people on the show next year
I love Kathryn’s determination
Yeah me too. Gives as good as she gets it seems to me
There's absolutely no way Internet Pajamas is going to win!
You mean her determination to be deluded and think she can multiply her sales by 9 in one year
Determination without knowing what you’re talking about is actually delusion, not something to be admired.
@@kiriakoz what they said
I just can’t understand how blatant fraud can be rewarded, especially when it’s acknowledged
Claude voice of reason. Incredible sharp
I feel the bbc should scrap this show as it has been going on for too long now.
A great representation of how people talk themselves up and talk all fluff
These people make me laugh - it's like the school bully sits down with you dressed up smartly. If anyone actually interviewed like this in the real world I don't think they would last very long.
Imagine a millennial or younger in these interviews, I just really cant... they would have ptsd for the rest of their lives and make tiktoks about it
*pretend to have PTSD.
The standards have definitely dropped! 4 years ago and way before the candidates not only would have good business plans but also during the process you could see the skills and qualities they had. This year I have never seen such incapable, incompetent and deluded candidates. How on earth have have these 4 candidates made it to the final four? Either lord sugar has made a huge mistake or they must of been the best 4 out of a rotten bunch!!!!. Seriously these business plans are awful, thee candidates have no knowledge of business and they just make things up as they do. I think the shows needs to end now coz people nowadays are either starting there own business early in there lives and the majority of people make there living on social media a
across all platforms. People make money on “only fans” on its own so the new generation are not as bright or focused on thinking about academic business strategies. All you have to do nowadays is fo on social media so something stupid and you make loads of money, so I think the good days of the apprentice is over plus what’s £250,000 these days when you can make it on social media.
I'd like to point out that this is more likely an issue caused by the apprentice producers. they seem to value showmen and influencers over actual experienced credible people. There is as much ambition and talent in the UK now, as ever
if it was that easy to make money on social media everyone would have tons of cash, also not everyone wants to act stupid, sell out, pose nude, and/or have sex on social media to make money... plus doing those things is not guaranteed good money anyway because there are tons of similar channels online, only a few in their genre make good money and thousands do not.
@@icydsting6037 alright expect! Explain why the last four’s standards are awful! One individual’s interview got terminated! Do you realize how bad that is?????????
I don't back their brutality to the apprentices, but If their business isn't unique then it deserves to be called out.. like the pyjamas in first clip.. xx
"These interviews delivered on EVERY level" WHAT DOES THAT EVEN MEAN!
How can you not have purchased the domain names for your website? Takes a minute to do and costs nothing. Literally the first thing you do when choosing a name for your business
"Not Necessarily" freaking brutal but these youngsters do need a dose of reality to make them better people in the long term.
Mike is a common sense guy and Claude is quite mellow here too compared to how he was. I think he is quite a reasonable guy tbh. These contestants are living in la la land. I think lack of experience can be made up for with hard work and solid research though but not buying the domain name you want to use is a huge faux pas.
The thing is Claude has seen all the candidates so his role compared to Mike isn’t the same
@@sully6191 I'm pretty sure Claude wasn't in that year due to an injury. Tim took over in his place.
@@TSComega it was due to injury
Is this the female apprentice or something? Where tf are the men?
The final 4 were all ladies, first time ever I think!
Margaret Mountford was horrible as an interviewer, she was hostile towards the interviewees as soon as they entered the room. If I were being interviewed by her I would have walked out during the first minute! When interviewing prospective employees Mounford is representing the company, the face of the company, so I certainly would not have wanted to join!
The apprentice is shit but seeing Mike buy the domain name of the person he is interviewing is funny and kind of badass
I love the interviews week. It really shows the candidates for who they really are. You just never get to know what the candidates actually put down on their CV's until then and the interviewers, particularly claude comes up with the best quips and takes no prisoners.
These interviews are staged for tv. I work in recruitment and have never ever seen anyone get grilled and pulled apart like this in my life. They only show the negatives not the positives in these interviews. The girl with the pyjamas business bit back good on her. Hope she wins and Lord Sugar cracks shit jokes and all his advisers just laugh at every word he says. That’s the joke really 🤡
Finally, the show I can learn a lot from!
Cant believe he brought domain names then gifted her them
What do you mean "gifted"? I've just tried to access them. None of them work
Why do Apprentice candidates never buy their websites they advertise in their business plans? 🙄😂
My girl Linda Plant being evil as usual 🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻
I think Kathryn won cos in the next time clip at the end of the episode, Lord Sugar was pointing as the right, and that’s where she was seen sitting.
That's what I thought also 🤔
Unless they filmed both results…
You know that they film two endings, right? What's to say they show the other one next time?
They’re probably not nasty at all to the candidates, it’s probably edited so they only show the criticism and cut out all the positive bits. They’re critiquing business plans so they’re actually doing them a favour by pointing out the issues in it.
This is so much better than the American version. The American version seems way more staged. This seems much more like real life.
Claude at 1:59:
*ehTHAT IS NOT CORRECT.*
Because according to the encyclopaedia of 👅👅👅👅👅👅👅👅👅👅👅
I've seen loads of young managers like these coming into our company. They're usually full of B.S, full of themselves, and haven't actually got a clue what they're doing. They talk a good talk at the interview stage though, and that gets them through the door. Unfortunately for them, they are usually found out for what they are, and don't last long.
You mean like that manageress of John Lewis, a box ticking catastrophe 😂
Anyone who read through all the comments I'm sorry here's your time back
I sound so awful but I envision myself as an assistant to these executives of Alan's.. like going to a shop and finding the supposed items 😅😅
Catherine: Who says it’s impossible
Claude: I do
So sharp it’s almost rehearsed
That's Claude for you, still sharp as a tack at 85 years old.
@@CB-xr1eg he’s 73 but ya know
Are the candidates usually this poor? I watched this season from start to finish, my first time watching it. I understand it’s a pressure environment but there’s been so many basic errors made, I wouldn’t want anyone of them working for me.
They are running out of good business people who would put themselves on the apprentice so it’s just getting worse each year
Yes recently. It used to be much better but now they just care more for the TV ratings
Brittany what the hell was she doing on this show her business plan was a joke
Love,love the older gentleman....hah.👍🤗
I usually enjoy the apprentice was excited when it came back this year. But gotta say after 3 episodes I wasn't interested anymore.This was a funny vid though, hope the series comes back stronger next year.
The one with the website... She didn't even have the foresight to buy the website. Wow.
3:28 this was just dirty 😂
This is the rantings of a lunatic has to be my favourite
Mike:”are you making this up?”
Lady:”no Mike “(translation “yes “)😂
The standard this year has been the poorest by a long way. How AS can invest in any of these businesses is joke. This is what happens when you focus on wokeness over quality. It has been the wokest series by far tbf to the BBC.. I’ll give it two more series before it’s axed.
Great interviewers the interviewees did like not like being caught and exposed with their lies and misleading statements.
It comes across that how much they got ridiculed and roasted in their interviews is also somehow a competitive issue to them.
Linda cracks me up
"Not neccessarily" 🤣
buying all the websites 😂
I’m sure the ‘blonde’ interviewer is from The Dark Crystal 🧝♀️
Sweet Claudine, bless her! So nice she could be a nun. The Interview stage is just 3 bad cops + Claudine. I prefer the bad cops.
Dude at 1:23 mark gives off Duncan Bannetyne/Billy Connolly/Peter Capaldi vibes.
Tbh I think he's the most intimidating & scary of the interviewers here. Sometimes silence can make the loudest noise.
katherine pouts like a spoiled child when shge caught out !
All the business plans are crap
Genuine question: is Claudine the nicer version of Claude? Anybody with a French dictionary?
This really explains the UK's current financial situation.
What is it with the eyebrows on these women. Looks like a bunch of caterpillars running amok.
It's nice to see these clips periodically just to remind me how utterly shite the apprentice is.
Claude needs to sit in Alan Sugar's seat
I know it’s clearly embellished for entertainment, but I find them overly rude, trying too hard for the TV.
If you interviewed me in that tone, I’d actually have concerns about working for you.
For my current position, working for a prestigious company, I had 5 interviews which involved 3 presentations. But regardless of how I perform, I don’t expect to be patronised by a condescending employee. There’s a certain way to interact with people, even at the top. And this isn’t it……
BWL Studenten lieben diese Serie
He bought all the possible websites of her business. That's some next level shit.
“you’re going to have an uncomfortable time with me” 👀 👀
Claude, it is et cetera, not ecsetra
So every single applicant had a terrible business plan... They would see these before the show even starts. This show is so dumb nowadays.
I totally agree mate. I could probably do better than these guys and I haven't got a clue about starting up a business.
I actually show these to my kids 😂 just to remind them that everything is possible, just add a pinch of logic as well
Mmmm hmmm, riiiight, and two days later all applicants with zero experience were hired.
Unless you are applying for a Management position of a multi million pound company
Most places won’t really care as long as you drive and have a clean background check
I wouldn’t suck up to people who give cold stares and are expecting way too much out of people
Sir Alan did very well in business
To get there to where he is nowadays is difficult
Its always been difficult.
Bunch of plonkers
The interviewers research more about these contestents than they did for their business lol
