I’m writing an essay on this show and would like to interview someone who thought it was crap and someone who loved it.

Please contact me if you like to answer some questions (rant some more).

Thanks,

Grant

I think Channel 9 did a great thing by having a same sex couple on this show and I think they should have won! The show had lots of potential but think the editing was off and the name was wrong.

I feel guilty for wanting to know…but which couple were they? In the promos before the show started (Virgins, childhood sweethearts etc.)

Maybe Nine are equally embarrassed as the winning couple (and the audience and non-audience) that they actually gave away nearly a quarter Mill for such rubbish…

I didn’t even know that the final happened.

Why do Nine get reality so wrong? I mean, come on, if Ten can do it surely anyone can.
From what I’ve seen of the contestants they have cast The Apprentice very well – certainly have the MasterChef “feel good” factor. But both the US and UK versions have been duds here, so it really does seem a bizarre choice.

That’s a good point bindi, a media release doesn’t guarantee that will be what is mentioned in the media with their key points intact, if mentioned at all. With this example, it would more than likely be spun negatively by a journo and backfire.

Agree with Jerome. Thinking 9 should steer clear of reality as they just can’t do it. Put the money into improving their network in the many areas it is failing in.

@vid, australias perfect couple was an australian version of a US show ‘here come the newlyweds’. and anyway fremantle/9 have said that they are completely changing the format and style of the international shows. from the ads it looks like the big change is that they have turned it into a warmhearted, everybody is friends, uplifting type of show. which is a big change. worked for MC but whether it will work for the apprentice is something completely different.

i am doubting it’s sucess.

i think the Apprentice wil do very well…..why…cos they know what mistakes not to do. and its an austarlian version of the US show.

And now Channel 9 are going to do their own Apprentice… good luck with that.

they probably just don’t want to draw attention to their failure, because surely any articles written would have to mention that the whole series was a flop. 9 likes to cling to the smallest victories like hot seat and promote the hell out of them, but any failures they just want to sweep under the rug and pretend they didn’t happen.
