The Apprentice is back and here’s what went down

Were you watching?

The long anticipated return of The Apprentice happened tonight and we got to meet -and roll our eyes at- the contestants.

You might have recognised Dillon who is an art director, as he previously starred on Fade Street with Vogue Williams.

While many of us might have a special place in our heart for the Irish man, twitter users were not happy with his antics on the show.

Does anyone else think that Dillon St. Paul looks like he's wearing the severed face of one of his victims? #TheApprentice

Harsh.

Of course he’s not the only one of the contestants getting abuse, as the huge amount of ego in one room together was of course a talking point.

Where do these people develop their EGO?? #TheApprentice

A new batch of ego morons, love it! #TheApprentice

Ego's the size of China the lot of them #TheApprentice

#TheApprentice early stages is just a bellend rodeo that does little else but massage Alan Sugar's ego. Won't stop me watching though 😁

But hey, what else do people expect by now.

For all their ego, the gang we a bit clueless.

This week they had to sell valuable and not so valuable items based on the price they think they are worth, and they got it pretty wrong.

There's someone out there with a £300 antique who is currently laughing their face off #TheApprentice

She sold a chair that's worth £300 for £17. And she thinks she did well 😔 #TheApprentice

People were also not impressed with Lord Sugar’s fail of a joke, in the boardroom, he asked Oliver Nohl-Oser, who is a sausage manufacturer, whether he was the Greek god ‘Porkus’. Shameful.

"Porkus, the Greek God of Sausages"

Sorry, but which script writer is responsible for that monstrosity #TheApprentice

Cringe.

But sale fails and pork jokes aside, people loved tonight’s first episode.
