Linda always comes across especially rude and mean hearted in these.

Linda's the worst interviewer. She feels like she's made up her mind about the candidates before they've even walked into the room, and so she just sits and honks at them and never lets them get a word in edgeways or explain their plan to her.

Sadly I’ve met quite a few Linda’s in real life. It’s a terrible way to interview people.

Just once I want to see one of these candidates just walk out of the interview when the interviewer pops off for the cameras.

This is one of my problems with modern Apprentice.

In the old days, they were harsh, yes, but there was also something you could do about it. How you performed in the interviews mattered. When the business plans format started, there was less flexibility, but you still had a reasonable amount of freedom to defend yourself.

Nowadays, from about series 15 onwards I want to say, you basically can't defend yourself at all, so it's just an episode of brutality.

Linda is a massive cunt. I’ve always wanted someone to shout right back in her face.

I don't get what about this is apprentice? They are treating them like they should have all the knowledge they expect how is that apprentice? No wonder young people are screwed.

I could feel the Aoe Vera girl was an inch away from becoming very gobby

They don’t know how to make Business Plans? What have they been studying in their universities? How to be argumentative without having to do the work to make a proper and completely thorough business plan?

Linda has got to go, head so far up her own behind to even listen to any attempt of an answer and comes across as a stark raving loony often.
