Take a seat for the 45 most savage memes from The Apprentice interview stage

Last night was the episode of The Apprentice we’ve all been waiting for: the interviews. The final five candidates got absolutely ripped to shreds and we were all living for it.

During the episode, Lottie Lion, Lewis Ellis, Pamela Laird, Scarlett Allen-Horton and Carina Lepore had their business plans, CVs and themselves in general put under the microscope by Claude Littner, Mike Soutar, Linda Plant and Claudine Collins. And tbh, I can’t get over how savage it was.

Their business plans were called actual “garbage”, everyone cried and some of the interviews were terminated before they could even begin. Which of course, makes for great meme content. Here are some of the best.

Can’t believe Lewis made it all the way through the selection process with a business plan that is basically “I’ll book your holiday for you.” #TheApprentice
