One fan on asked: “No more prizes?” in reference to how the winning team would once win a prize in seasons gone by.

The original poster then added: “Last years apprentice prizes for the winning team were rubbish and now they’ve been scrapped completely!

“Surely they could have spent the budget for transporting everyone to fucking Hong Kong on prizes for the winning team which were quite a fun bit of the episode.

“Apprentice has being going downhill for years and this really takes the p**s.”

Someone else took to X to tag Lord Sugar in their question, asking: “I have to ask again what’s happened to the winners treats?”

They also tagged former advisor Claude Littner and asked: “Any ideas?”

Claude responded, saying: “My take on this issue is based on current performances.

“None of the candidates deserve a treat!

“I would send them to bed without a bedtime story or a lullaby.”

Last week, Claude also slammed the show when he took aim at the most recent episode.

“Another fine mess! No teamwork, expertise, commonsense, or…. functioning brain cells,” he said on X.

Fans then proceeded to moan about the format of the show and the recently axed You’re Fired programme, which was replaced by a different companion show.

Claude then weighed in and said: “Feels like a retrograde step.

“Prior format was fun for the audience, invited celebs, fired candidates, and their families.”
