The reaction to a particularly brutal Apprentice episode

The Apprentice reached the stage we've all been waiting for - the interviews.

It is the moment that makes or breaks even the toughest contestants...and no one seems to love it more than those following along on Twitter. https://twitter.com/walsh_i/status/677236494944362496 The episode began in the usual way, though not everyone was prepared. https://twitter.com/JohnBrewinESPN/status/677232761615331328 There's always one candidate that people are amazed to see in the show at this stage. https://twitter.com/Adam_Smith_96/status/677234036310466561 https://twitter.com/OliviaKBennett/status/677232745475624960 https://twitter.com/LiamTWhitfield/status/677233098971611136 Ok, maybe more than one. But there's a good reason some people weren't convinced. https://twitter.com/RetroAperture/status/677240529768292352 Joseph took an early lead, showing his memory for Alan Sugar facts after being asked to recall elements of the Lord's autobiography. https://twitter.com/MOliverFan/status/677235715407798276 While another talking point was the range of interviewers, including a newbie. https://twitter.com/michaelhogan/status/677234602952540160 https://twitter.com/woodmassmichael/status/677237853882052608 But Claude is still everyone's favourite. https://twitter.com/Kathryn_Snowdon/status/677236032656510976 There were some fantastic soundbites, as always. https://twitter.com/JamesMawFFT/status/677237119522316288 Not to mention some straight talking. https://twitter.com/JOwainFranklin/status/677237658943365120 And some less-than-straight talking. https://twitter.com/sazza_jay/status/677237082063024128 Things didn't get any easier back in the boardroom, and Charlene was the first to go, leading to that age-old question. https://twitter.com/sacha_is_good/status/677243797256957954 https://twitter.com/mytentoryours/status/677243739585298432 Gary was next to go. https://twitter.com/JonnyGabriel/status/677245149269893121 https://twitter.com/CaoimheDuff/status/677244665377202176 And finally, after a long dwell, Richard followed. https://twitter.com/hansmollman/status/677245931926999040 So that leaves Joseph and Vana in the final, just as some people predicted... https://twitter.com/Mark_E_Wright/status/677240569769410561 Roll on next week!
