How do people apply to go on 'The Apprentice'?

[Thunderflush]

The thing is, when they get onto the show, crowd into a taxi, and then go into a kitchen to discuss how to boil an egg! They have their plastic aprons on, over suit and tie!! Don't they all look stupid!  Grown adults falling out over mere trifles (Metaphorically speaking). They just cannot do anything ordinary, Can they?

Perhaps that is the real ethos behind Lord Sugar doing the programme.

Do they have to be highly educated to get on the show? It certainly looks like it...

And yet simple day to day tasks, as a team,  completely eludes them!
