"I've got a whole field of ponies." "My first word was not mummy, it was money." "I can speak to Prince or Pauper."
The best bit of The Apprentice isn't the sparks or business acumen, Lord Sugar's grizzled rants or even Nick Hewer's sucking lemon grimace. It's the buffoons and wally candidates that they dig out every year.
Whether it was Michael Sophocles and the kosher chicken debacle, Stuart Baggs flaunting his sausages or Susan Ma questioning the French's parenting skills, there is always a handful of candidates every series who will make your jaw drop.
To whet your appetite ahead of this evening's new batch of wannabes, Digital Spy has compiled a gallery of some of our favourite boardroom blunderers from the previous seven series.
The Apprentice series eight starts tonight (March 21) at 9pm on BBC One.
