These 27 memes will make the saddest Apprentice moment in history more bearable

Last night was arguably the saddest episode of The Apprentice in all its history. If you don’t want spoilers, you should probably look away now.

Our King, our hero, our legend Thomas Skinner was fired. And if I’m honest I’m really not ok about it.

He was more than just a candidate, he was our friend. Yes he was completely in his own world and borderline deluded over how good he thought some of his ideas were – but from the beginning he had us. I was sold at “I sell pillas”. He was funny, he was entertaining and he was just all round classic. He was like no other candidate The Apprentice has ever seen.

First Ryan-Mark was fired, and now this. Here are 27 memes to soften the blow.

1. I’m not crying, you are

May I just say ! Being a candidate in #TheApprentice was the best thing I've ever done. And I enjoyed myself so so much!! Thank you for all the love and support. Thank you @karren_brady @claudelittner and @Lord_Sugar !! It was brilliant xx
