The show has just become farcical and needs to change
Long post, all of which are my opinions so you’ll have to let me know your thoughts.
- The dossier and stupid scripting needs to go. Anyone that doesn’t know, the candidates are given a dossier which tells them what they can and can’t do, but mostly what they HAVE to do. A good example of this is when the guys did the toothbrush task (think it was a few seasons ago) where it looked like a turd and Sugar demolished them in the boardroom over it and asked why they chose that colour AGAIN after the cruise ship logo where Sugar said they needed to use blue. The dossier told them to use those colours because the girls team had already chosen blue. Now Sugar must know this or else it’s a cruel production measure to humiliate them further, they’re also strictly forbidden from discussing the dossier too. It also tells them what names they can and can’t use, and stupid things they have to say to again….look stupid on camera.
The editing is moronic, a discussion about who wants to be PM , PM gets chosen then we cut to angry faces which has clearly been edited on from a different moment and nothing to do with that, someone makes a stupid decision, cuts to a face looking angry or bemused again from a different moment and sometimes it’s used twice in the same episode.
- It’s a business version of Big Brother
Let’s humiliate everyone for the sake of it, make every member of the team look moronic unless Sugar likes them where it will most likely be edited out and someone else will get the editing treatment. Anyone who hasn’t seen big brother, the housemates are tasked weekly and mainly it’s mindless, soul destroying and humiliating tasks to make you look stupid but almost like a sheep where you blindly follow orders no matter what it is. Scott Saunders is one of my favourite contestants because he walked out and didn’t want to be humiliated anymore by Sugar and Karen ( who treat him like absolute shit because she clearly fancied him and he wanted none of it ) and any other contestant who walks out has my backing
- The tasks literally don’t even matter
Take Phil, how many tasks did he lose yet got to the final. He was already hugely successful and Sugar ( no pun intended ) wanted a slice of that pie , same with the dentist Paul Midha ( although he was an exceptional candidate ) wanting half of his business and Paul rightfully rejecting it.
It’s not about how good you are on tasks, it’s how much money you’re already making in your business and his team of advisors suggesting who’s going to make him the most money. In that sense it’s a long, drawn out version of dragons den, all that hassle just for Sugar to take half your business ?
- The tasks are shit
With the dossier , time restraints, every member is already doomed for failure. Let’s have a team of 4-5 people make a video game that would take 500 people years to make but we want you to do it in less than a day , and then Sugar complains that it’s “ boring” or how successful his games were in such a short time. The guy is a complete fool and doesn’t live in the real world anymore.
I encourage everyone to go back to season 1 and see the difference between not only the candidates, but also the business ideas and tasks they are given, it’s night and day and the show has turned to complete shit because of it
