need a local version of this – no idea who that guy is though – he’s no Dick Smith or anyone known.

cant wait for this one. i liked both Trump and Sugar versions. i think an Australian version should go well, hopefully Bouris wont rely on his attractiveness and display some of Sugar’s charecter.

This was exactly the sort of negative comments that people left when MasterChef was commissioned. It did 1.8m last night.

This with Mark & Freemantle this will work.

Why is everyone so anti factual formats on commercial networks and pro anything ABC or SBS?

The reality of our industry is that we need to support shows like this.

Homemade, Ladette to Lady, Wipeout, Survivor, Skating on Thin Ice……and so many more!!

They need to st ick to their crime dramas….it’s the only thing people want to watch on Nine. Channel 9 is the serious network. They need to remember that before they start comissioning things like this and wasting their money.

Ha ha ha ha what a waste of money!! I can’t believe Nine actually picked this up!!!! That’s such a hoot!

I would understand Foxtel doing something like this……but Nine?!? Home of the reality killer?Ha ha ha ha

They just wasted millions of dollars engaging in something like this. What fools.

I see this being the next homeMADE. The format is dead in the water.

Good luck! Seems to be a win win situation for all concerned………..good news for Ch 9 as with Mark Bouris’ charisma, the ladies will be sure to tune in…………Mark gets advertising for his company & gains an employee and the contestants exposed to his expert business knowledge.
Enjoyed watching the US version with Trump, so will watch this version to see how it goes.

I’ll give this a shot.

Though wouldn’t you just kill to watch it hosted by Bernie It’s the Super Of the Future’ Fraser?

The US version of Apprentice got boring, because Don Trump was only interesting in it for the first 2 seasons. It needed different successful business people for other seasons (which I realise are very hard to find, as most are private). Plus while all Aus viewers love money, most aren’t that interested in the way to legally obtain it (being in business).

I was just thinking last night how much I miss The Apprentice and was wondering if 7 would show more of the Alan Sugar version in a late night time slot. Good news, but I’m sure it will flop.
