Normally aired in the autumn, in effect this is the 2021 series.

Love it. The drama and bitching from a bunch of arrogant incompetents, with a couple of decent candidates.

I hope he makes a full recovery and returns.

The raised eyebrows and cutting comments as the team he’s observing implodes, are great fun.

Love this show, if only because it makes dealing with tosses in reality much easier as at least they aren’t THAT bad

 

[Live by the sea]

Great show . Love Sir Alan - unusual combination of very wealthy but also very common & direct - makes for great tv

Personally I find 'Sir' Alan a complete bellend.

 

[Simster]

I can't wait.

It feels like it hasn't been on for a long time (probably because of Covid) and if so let's hope the producers have used the time by scouring the nation for 12 even more useless, arrogant, incompetent tosspots than usual. Quite a challenge.

 

[Guinness Boy]

Oh good. C**t Of The Year is finally back. I can now look forward to at least one power hungry halfwit acting like a complete bellend in meetings for at least the next six months. Thanks Auntie.

I love the show. There's always one or two people who I can't stand and desperately want them to screw up and
get kicked out.

Hate this show and I think it sets a really bad example to young people going into employment. The way to succeed in a good career is not to stab your colleagues in the back and take credit for other peoples work, it is to work hard with humility and respect for your co-workers.

I agree. But in the business world, not everyone is like that. You'll always come across back-stabbers and *******. How would
you deal with them? Fighting fire with fire is sometimes the only thing they understand.

In an ideal world.

But business just doesn't work like that sadly.....

I agree with your first sentence, but no need to go down to their level. People like that tend to get found out before too long in my experience. This show tends to give the impression that acting like that is the way to succeed - which is wrong.

Fair enough. I generally see myself as an ok person, but if someone deliberately sets out to cause grief, then I am more than
happy to go down to their level to give them a ****** hard time.

One of my guilty pleasures

Always makes me feel good about myself when you see all the incompetents… I know it is edited to highlight this.

Not for me - Tired of 'lord' sugar

Mine too.

I met Liz Locke before she was on it and was going out with Wayne Henderson. She was a Grad trainee at an investment bank and was really bright.

Also once bought sausages they were selling as part of a task at Leadenhall market. They were horrible.

Totally agree with you, I have worked with some of these backstabbers, in two different companies and what surprised me in one instance was the MD hadn't realised he had hired the biggest clueless t*at as his no 2, who was back stabbing everyone and slagging the MD and his wife off all the time.

When he was around them you could literally feel the guy slime up to them, they were oblivious to it.

Of course, when I left this place my honest feedback was given to the MD on his no 2, unfortunately, I thought it one step too far to say he was always slagging you and your missus off also.

Whatever the boss says they appear to love the lickers and sometimes have their eye shut IMO.

Looking forward to this.

Or flooring them in the car park and parking their p45 between their arse cheeks

People don't leave companies, they leave bosses.
