- WARNING: CONTAINS SPOILERS
Fans of The Apprentice have slammed the show, complaining about a ‘fake’ format and saying they have discovered a ‘clue’ that makes them believe the show could be staged.
In the long-running BBC show, Lord Sugar tests the nerves and brains of the business world’s hungriest hopefuls as they compete for a £250,000 investment from the businessman.
Despite its popularity, eagle-eyed viewers spotted a hint in last night’s episode that seemed to indicate the show isn’t sticking to the script.
During the broadcast of the show on Thursday evening, the narrator said that the secretary called at 4am to inform the contestants that they had 20 minutes to get ready and leave for Lord Sugar at Battersea Power Station.
However, some viewers said this detail takes away from the reality of the show, pointing out that 20 minutes is an extremely short time to look their best when you wake up at 4 in the morning.

During the broadcast of the show on Thursday evening, the narrator said that the secretary called at 4 am to inform the participants that they had 20 minutes to get ready.
They wrote: ‘That’s absolutely not possible! How these women shower, get dressed, do makeup and hair in 20 minutes, oh come on!’.
“There’s no way they can all get ready and all dressed up in twenty minutes.”
Meanwhile, other fans of the show alluded to the sudden change of lighting so early in the morning as the reason for the show.
They noted that the call to prepare the house may come in the early morning hours, but the sun is shining by the time they leave, when it should still be dark outside.
Viewers pointed out this detail, writing: ‘At one point the boys get a call at 4am and it’s still dark saying the cars will be outside in 20 minutes. Twenty minutes later they walk outside and it is broad daylight. Someone has timing that is way out of bounds. sync!’
“So @Lord_Sugar’s secretary calls the house at 4am. 20 minutes for those boys, let alone the girls to get ready, and yet it’s daylight in the cars.’
‘After all these years why is #TheApprentice still spreading the lie that they get called at 4.30am and have to be ready for the cars in 20 minutes?’
’04:20 call to Battersea Power Station. They have 20 minutes to get ready. They leave in full daylight. Really @Lord_Sugar?’

On Thursday night’s episode, Onyeka Nweze was the latest candidate to be fired after her team lost in a big money challenge.
The candidates were tasked with launching a new Formula E team before pitching it for sponsorship, and they stunned the board by raising the largest sum in the show’s history.
Multi-million pound negotiations were jeopardized when disastrous car designs were revealed and questionable brands came to light.
However, Lord Sugar was shocked when the winning team secured sponsorships worth £38.7 million.
While her team lost, Lord Sugar noted that Onyeka’s ‘lack of ethos’ on the task remained a concern, especially after her pitches to bankers failed to secure investment for them.
