Used to make me laugh that these people who were so so talented etc etc were begging for a £100k job, if you're that good...... Now, if their ideas and entrepreneurial skills are so good, why the need to beg for investment from AS?

My favourite bit is always the completely vague linkage between the contestants being shipped to some location and the tenuous link to task that they have to complete that week
< Sugar points at each team menacingly, Brady and Nick adopt serious faces > ''I've bought you to the Tower of Larndarn today. Nowadays, this is where Americans come to take photos but previously this is where people used to get their heads chopped off. Now, I want you to go out this week and sell some cakes which might involve someone chopping something up and could even involve an American buying one. One of you on the losing team, gets chopped up, I mean fired''
It's worth watching just for that.

I'd lie my tits off if I answered that phone. 'Wrong number chaps back to bed'
One day, one of the contestants should have it out with S'ralan over the crack of dawn phone call nonsense.
"Your performance this morning was terrible. What's wrong with you?"
"Your P.A. woke us up at 5.30am Sir Alan. I was tired. Perhaps if you were a little more professional, and planned things a little better, you could have given us the itinerary for the week, in advance?"

It's best when you get some really posh sort trying to flog complete tat to salt-of-the-earth cockney types and imagining they can speak the lingo of the natives.
A brief highlight is also the lame-arsed team names they come up with in the first episode, usually plucked from a mental encyclopaedia of bullshit business buzzwords.
At a guess, I'll say this year's suggestions will include at the very least:
-Dynamo
-Vision
-Quest
-Transform
-Advantage

Oh, what a TWUNT.
Oh, what a TWUNT.
They should make him have a proper shave, and expose that impressive looking CHINBUM to the world.

May I congratulate you on a fine use of the word "chinbum".
This one is also going to get right on my wick, I suspect:

I think this wins the prize for the most utterly meaningless waffle of all though:

I just can't get into it, I don't find wanting to throw a brick through my tv all that much fun.
Especially when I know that the brick will never actually hit them...*sigh*

I always find it good to see them come up with a decent idea - then completely f**k it up every time and doing the completely wrong thing to what Joe Public would actually do.
In fact, Joe Public could probably end up winning it as they would certainly love themselves a little less then the people who get on the show. Shame there isnt any good looking women this year though, the usual array of arrogant twats though - should be good.

I'd reserve judgement on that, until we see the first show. They always look WEIRDER than they really are in those profile pictures.
Personally, I've got hopes for LAUREN.

Cluck me, did she really say that about SE Asia?
She did - and she's got a point of course - South East Asia has obviously changed beyond all recognition in the FIVE YEARS or so since she finished Uni

It's good to know there are London solicitors out there with such concerns about commercialisation.

Agreed.
You can get a better idea if you scroll down to the freeze frame of the video below the profile summary, although it doesn't do any favours for Sarah Dales - http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/articles/51g29xwddh1fvSVNKVnLKw2/sarah-dales
