Apprentice candidate quits during a task - The Apprentice 2016

Tough to do but I had to stay true to myself. The in-fighting, excessive lack of family contact and unprofessional behaviour convinced me it was a prize I no longer wanted to win. I'll work with colleagues and clients in the right way, do business my way and seek partners with similar values. Thanks to those of you that have given me so much kind support.x.

Finally a candidate who realised this was a show and had nothing to do with business. This was for a media career. Well done.

1:39 'she didn't think she was strong enough to be in this' how haughty and arrogant. She was clearly strong enough to make the decision and act upon it rather than sailing through in limbo.

[emulus]

"We're just starting a task, it's not the ideal moment." Wrong. It's better that she did it then than being assigned work and then halfway through saying that she was going to leave. That would leave the team exposed with someone having to fill the gap while continuing with their own work.

[AbsoluteScooby]

Good on her. Love how the others act all offended and somehow empathetic when in reality they’d backstab at the first given opportunity. You go girl

[heshanfernando]

For a moment I thought she said "I'm going to lead the process"

[dia]

There’s no need for comments like, “she obviously wasn’t strong enough blah blah, ” because it’s a strength in itself to accept that your life and state of mind is more important than an investment.

[NibberKSmooth]

Good on her. The entire 'process' is unnatural, demanding, fake and vacuous.

[christopherbrand]

Apart from her, they are self entitled, arrogant, back stabbers and that fake sympathy to her was pathetic, she made the right choice to go and remove herself from the environment, takes a lot of self belief knowing you will be fine and in doing so will loose this huge potential opportunity, but for the sake of sanity you put that to the side. People like this need to be admired because they have great belief in themselves and so much so in fact they can be comfortable leaving and doing a different thing.

looks like scott saunders has started a trend

[neuberg]

Well done Aleksa - you stuck by your principles : always an essential element of good business practice . YOU are the winner

[tomlego]

I think she couldn't face quitting in front of Lord Sugar.

[Haze]

Well, it's nice to see a candidate that isn't completely narcissistic.

[couponville]

good for her, sometimes it's not about the team. it's all about you and what your needs are. only one person will win at the end of it all.

"Ok let's go round introducing ourselves"

[Amadeus-mslt]

This has zilch to do with strength.

She has displayed strength and integrity. Some battles for some people are simply not worth fighting. When the battle has lost all meaning, then you can't go on.

She is already an accomplished individual.

[JockStrop]

fair enough..its not real its tv situations and its not for everyone. good luck to her she seems like a really great lady

[AA-qbni]

"I actually thought it was a joke"...😂😂😂😂😂

[sonicelectro]

This part reminds of Scott's departure last year. He was in the winning team of week 8 or 9 but left as his team left.

[challenger]

I reckon that takes more guts then going into the boardroom and getting a bollocking from Lord Sugar. Respect to her, that is absolutely right that she decides to leave because if she doesn't think she could handle it during a task it makes it tough as being human to sail through and continue and then she could put her health at risk. 👏👏
