The Word On... The Apprentice, BBC1
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference."Who do I complain to about there being an American contestant? Americans have their own 'Apprentice', with Donald Trump and his wonderful hair. This 'Apprentice' should be for long-term UK residents only – and how has she still got a work permit if she's quit her job anyway?" - neutrained, bbc.co.uk/dna/apprentice
"The egos are back, and they are bigger, brasher and, dare I say, more incompetent than ever... It seems as the years go by that the quality of candidates is deteriorating and it's becoming more like 'Big Brother' or any other downmarket reality TV show. Nevertheless, I still find it entertaining." - 15bytes. blogspot.com
"'The Apprentice' seems to have adopted the 'Big Brother' mantra of selecting candidates not for their worth but because of their oversized egos, unwarranted self-belief and willingness to stab each other in the back." - Ross Chainey, blogs.reuters.com
