It looks like the combination of unrelatable characters and their Frank Spenceresque levels of slapstick incompetence is going to make this season a feast of schadenfreude – and we’re here for it.

I was gonna do a tweet at some point tonight saying "I miss The Traitors", but watching this fucking Guess Who character prematurely applaud his assumed victory is one of my TV moments of the year. #TheApprentice pic.twitter.com/HKDO3oKMQ9
