The Apprentice last night was the absolute dog’s pollocks and these 27 memes prove it

Last night’s episode of The Apprentice was oh-fish-ally the most chaotic one of the series so far. People on Twitter were very quick to pick up on a few things, like Akshay’s unbelievable ability to dodge another elimination, Lord Sugar’s sinking fish puns and Karen being a complete and utter icon. Here are all the best memes and reactions to last night’s episode of The Apprentice 2022:

1. Lord Sugar’s puns are too good

2. We took these icons for granted
