Eighteen zealous contestants on the BBC One show stormed onto our screens on Thursday night desperate to impress business tycoon Lord Sugar.
This is the 19th series of The Apprentice and already plans are under way for a 20th, with Lord Sugar inviting people to apply for next year.
For their first task, Lord Sugar’s candidates were dispatched to the city of Innsbruck, Austria, to sell and run Alpine tours.
They started selling tickets for €175.

The forest team failed to impress (Photo: BBC/FremantleMedia Ltd)Telemarketing company owner Keir Shave, on the forest team, decided to do the guessing game “rock paper scissors” with customers to decide what price they paid.
In the final reckoning, the glacier team made a profit of €230.60 while the forest team suffered a loss of €166.
The losers were left to face the music in the boardroom, with the sales team in the firing line.
Who got fired this week?
Emma Rothwell was the first to be fired (Photo: Ray Burmiston/Naked/BBC)Lancashire-born Emma, now based in Essex, had hoped to win Lord Sugar’s investment for her online gift business which she started during lockdown in her boyfriend’s garage.
And back in the boardroom, Lord Sugar was damning in his appraisal of her.
“It’s difficult but my gut feeling is telling me, Emma, it is with regret, you’re fired.”
Although Emma took the hit this week, there was a word of caution for one of her fellow contestants.
As the hair transplant consultant came under fire back in the boardroom, Lord Sugar said: “It seems to me that you’ve got no colleagues here who’ve got a good word to say about you.”
Who are the remaining contestants?
Seventeen candidates now remain (Photo: Ray Burmiston/Naked/BBC)After Emma’s dismissal from the show by Lord Sugar, it means there are now 17 candidates left in the running to be the next apprentice.
Next week will see the eager entrepreneurs visit the London show Abba Voyage and then be tasked with creating a virtual pop star.
Here are the contestants still left and hoping to win it:
