Re: Come on, own up! Who will be watching The Apprentice?

I'll probably watch it as my wife loves it to bits and we seem to spend so little time together at the moment due to other things it'll be nice just to sit on the couch and have a chat. At least that's one thing with these programs, you don't have to concentrate on them so can talk about other things at the same time. Given the choice I wouldn't though and I draw the line at Big Brother, no way will I sit through that rubbish.

Re: Come on, own up! Who will be watching The Apprentice?

I always seem to watch the first couple of episodes, then my interest wares off. I think it'll be the same thing this time round too.

Not really as that section is for discussion of TV programs whilst this thread is more about the people who will be watching them.

I won't be watching it as it's the sort of series that I find interesting once but repetion brings boredom.

I guess I'll be watching the Apprentice for the same reason as virtual22.

Re: Come on, own up! Who will be watching The Apprentice?

The Gf and I will be watching it, even though I'm always being told off for talking over the top of it, usually about how I would have done it better..Although in real life my cat has more business sense than me.

Re: Come on, own up! Who will be watching The Apprentice?

I might catch the odd bit. Watching a bunch of overachievers backstabbing each other is great car crash TV.

Re: Come on, own up! Who will be watching The Apprentice?

I must be one of the few who actually enjoys watching The Apprentice. I think it makes great tv.

Where else can you watch the business acumen of a culinary banker, or a good Jewish boy

Re: Come on, own up! Who will be watching The Apprentice?

No chance of watching this, more of a movie and sport man myself.

I don't know of many other people that have not ever watched a single episode of:-

24
Prison Break
Lost



Maybe one day I will watch them all and see what I was missing

I'm there on 24 and Prison break, I watched a few episodes of Lost when it came out and gave up.

However, I love the apprentice, will not be missing an episode, I wish Raef would come back though, oh how I miss him

I'm the same as you...watched most of the first series of Lost and gave up, though my wife hasn't missed an episode.

I've never seen 24 or Prison Break.

Re: Come on, own up! Who will be watching The Apprentice?

one of the few things on TV i look forward to

especially as Heroes just gets ever more stupid and convoluted just to keep the stroy line going. Should have stopped at series II.

Yep, can't wait.
Alongside Harry Hill & Gordon Ramsay programs it's about the only decent thing on TV these days.
