When Twitter wasn’t crowing about Ruth Whiteley’s Battenberg suit or April Jones’s fish-cake-style bun, it was trying to work out exactly who fired The Apprentice candidate Dan Callaghan looked like...
Chris Addison
For a minute I thought I was watching #Thethickofit tonight… #TheApprentice #separatedatbirth @mrchrisaddison pic.twitter.com/A243w4IZNT

I like Dan. He's like a more nervy, twitchy Chris Addison in The Thick of It. #TheApprentice

Man , @mrchrisaddison went to all that effort to qualify for #TheApprentice and got fired in the first week.

Poor Oliver Reeder getting fired in #TheApprentice week1….oh sorry, I mean Dan! It began to blur with TheThickOfIt. Sorry @mrchrisaddison

Dan will go back to his sideline of being a Chris Addison impersonator in his spare time. #TheApprentice

Dan looks like someone has deflated and then re-inflated @mrchrisaddison #TheApprentice

Edward Norton
I've just figured who Dan reminds me of, he's a UK Edward Norton. #TheApprentice pic.twitter.com/YtVr2eviGS

#TheApprentice also Dan looks weirdly like Ed Norton. Is this some weird method prep for a new project?

The team leader should be sacked. She didn't realise that she could've made loads more money selling kisses from Ed Norton. #TheApprentice

Mr Bean
I want Mr Bean to win. #TheApprentice pic.twitter.com/lUZX1oKaJu

Dan is the most hilarious #TheApprentice candidate ever. It is actually Mr Bean combined with the suicidal ginger fella from Full Monty.

If Michael Sheen played Mr Bean, you'd have Dan #TheApprentice

(Plus Will from The Inbetweeners)
Dan reminds me of Mr Bean crossed with Will from The Inbetweeners #bbcapprentice #TheApprentice #bbc

Paul McCartney
Ah well. Dan might get offered the role of Paul McCartney in a low budget biopic. #TheApprentice
— Darryl Wilks (@dgwilks) October 14, 2015
Dan looks like a young Paul McCartney #TheApprentice

A lone voice for JD in Scrubs
Dan reminds me of when JD in Scrubs fantasized about having a perm #TheApprentice pic.twitter.com/Iln7lENj8i

And Screech from Saved By The Bell
Dan reminds me of this chap #Hopeless #TheApprentice pic.twitter.com/nIIAS95Plp

Plus, a shout-out to Grace/April Jones. Thanks Twitter.
Glad they managed get Grace Jones on #TheApprentice pic.twitter.com/bB1TTI1rDX

This year’s candidates are a well turned-out bunch so tonight's shampoo task should have been easy for them, but saying the right thing on camera doesn’t come so naturally.
While Scott’s misspelling of desert was easy to brush off, the boys’ team’s taglines were knot.
(Boundless/BBC)
Without splitting hairs, here are the highlights from episode two:
1. Elle’s joy that Brett is back on the boy’s team:
“I think the fact we got rid of Brett cos he’s bald… that’s good”
2. Richard’s thoughts on the girls’ group:
“That pecking order hasn’t been settled and this task will wind it back up again”
3. Brett and Richard discuss the boys’ group hierarchy:
Brett: “There is no pecking order with us lot”; Richard: “Because I’m at the top and you lot are underneath!”
4. PM Aisha lays down the law to her team:
“I just want to say if anybody’s not productive in this team at the end of the day and we lose, they’ll be coming in the boardroom with me, I don’t care. Everybody needs to get on board”
(Boundless/BBC)
5. Mergim brings his thoughts on what the brand should be:
“My idea is sexiness”
6. Brett on Richard’s pitching style:
“He looks like David Brent, doesn’t he?”
7. Vana on the girls’ inspired colour choice:
“The green bottle was chosen because the cactus is green”
