If you watch the show, you’ll know that those funny captions probably won’t be the strangest you’ll see during the series.
Here’s what other people had to say about episode 1.

I don't think Sue Perkins and Michael McIntyre were expecting news of that affair they had all those summers ago to come to light like this #TheApprentice pic.twitter.com/auMbhKwqbV

who would waste their precious holiday time in Antigua by agreeing to go on a tour hosted by amateurs being followed around by a camera crew #TheApprentice

#TheApprentice has changed so much. This week they're jetting off to Antigua to sell tourism packages. I miss the seasons where Lord Sugar would send them off round Romford market to sell all the shit in his loft.

Being “sub team leader” is the same as being “milk monitor” at school. I have no idea why people use it as clout in the boardroom. #TheApprentice

Author Paul Bassett Davies had this funny but NSFW observation.
If you watch an entire series of #TheApprentice backwards, it’s about a talking scrotum’s quest to assemble a handpicked team of Britain’s leading dickheads.
