Collated two tropes related to the same quote into one.


* HyperCompetentSidekick: With the exception of the 'Crusaders' debacle, rarely put a foot wrong throughout the process and was usually the one cleaning up after her team's mistakes. Particularly pronounced in the final task; between Harrison hanging back and Jade's many errors, Sarah seemed to be the only one doing ''anything'' right.

Added “Never My Fault” to Danny’s page.

Added DiffLines:

Up To Eleven is a defunct trope


** Believed that they'd need to turn the {{Fanservice}} UpToEleven in order to sell their burgers to men. A strategy that was commonplace and almost expected on the U.S. edition, but has never been looked on very kindly in the UK series, with Karren even telling her that the idea was inappropriate.

* YouMakeMeSic: The Siimon/Jefrii advert board which had "You're helping hand." which translates to "You are helping hand." The retailers were not impressed:
--> "So can I get this straight. You're pitching a £735 product with an unfinished board and grammatical errors?"

* ManipulativeBastard: In much the same way as Jim back in Season 7, he browbeat Danny into not bringing him back after Danny initially chose him. To be fair though, Harrison was the top salesman on the team, so if anything he probably did Danny a favour.

** Also to Karthik from said previous year, as both men narrowly avoided being fired for their disruptive attitudes early on in the process (Karthik in Week 2 and Charles in Week 1). As the progress continued, their attitudes began to improve, only to then be fired as PM for their completely hands-off leadership in their final task (Karthik in Week 7 and Charles in Week 8 respectively).

I thought that Charles had more in common with Karthik from Series 12 than with Sofianne, so I wanted to add it to the page.

* {{Expy}}: Upon his firing, [[Characters/TheApprenticeUKSeason12 last year's winner Alana and fellow contestant Aleksandra]] described him as being this to Oliver from their season as they both had triple barrel names (Oliver's was Oliver Nohl-Oser while Elliot's was Elliot Van Endem) and were both fired in the third week. The main differences being that Oliver had at least, a victory behind him despite flopping as project manager while Elliot had no victories behind him and received a less stinging firing from Lord Sugar who simply told him that his demeanour was not up his alley and was not cut out to be his business partner.

Though it may have something to do with the fact that they are put on a more quiet sub team where there isn't fighting.

* OnlySaneMan: In spite of being accused of being an ExtremeDoormat by Lord Sugar, James was probably the only man this year to have much consistency since this year's men's team (Vitality) were one of the worst men's teams on The Apprentice since Logic in 2011.

* ThereCanBeOnlyOne: Averted. He and Sarah were the first joint-winners in the show's history. The nearest the show had come to doing this previously was with Season 1's Saira and Season 6's Chris, who Sugar told that he'd be willing to give them a job if ever they needed one (though neither ever took him up on the offer), and Season 7's Susan, whom he invested in a year later, once she had a little more experience under her belt.
