The Apprentice has made a major change to the show’s format in series 20 – and while viewers have clocked it, Claude Littner reckons the candidates haven’t earned the right to complain.
It’s been two decades since Lord Sugar first entered the boardroom.
Over the years, the structure has barely shifted. As Sugar once put it, it’s like football: “The rules are the same every game, but something special happens every game.”
That’s why people have quickly noticed the change, and this is what Littner had to say.

Claude Littner reacts to The Apprentice scrapping rewards
In previous series, the winning team would celebrate with a “treat” – from luxury meals to activity days like abseiling or indoor skydiving. Sometimes underwhelming, sometimes extravagant, but always part of the show.
Not anymore. In series 20, win or lose (unless you’re fired), everyone just heads back to the house.
Littner didn’t sugar-coat his thoughts when fans raised the issue online.
“My take on this issue is based on current performances. None of the candidates deserve a treat,” he wrote on X.
“I would send them to bed without a bedtime story or a lullaby.”
