23 memes from last night’s The Apprentice that will quell your tears over Akshay getting fired

Well, we did it guys. We got to the funniest episode of The Apprentice of the season so far – and of course, the memes were there to back it up. The TV shopping task brought chaos, carnage and the saddest casualty of the boardroom since Shama had to leave the process. I can’t stop laughing thinking about the absolute pandemonium of Kathryn and Stephanie trying to flog that massager and talking over each other. Amelia Stone would never have stumbled like that. Word on the street is that every cabin on a Bouji Cruise has a massager included. And amongst all the laughs of the shopping channel chaos, Twitter was as good as the episode – here are the best memes from week nine of The Apprentice!

1. They have the same energy as Gale Weathers and her cameraman from Scream
