Fashion was the hot topic on this week's pet-tastic episode of The Apprentice.
From hi-vis jackets for chickens and guinea-pig t-shirts to Ruth's entire wardrobe choices, Twitter was interested in it all.
Here are this week's best tweets:
Chicken hi-vis jackets baffled a few people:
High viz chicken jackets.
They must be a right bunch of cocks to buy those #TheApprentice

Whoever invented the hi viz chicken jacket needs shooting. #TheApprentice

A high vis chicken jacket to protect chickens crossing the road!!! Only on #TheApprentice

Seriously though- Why Does A Chicken Have A High Vis Jacket? #TheApprentice

What kind of idiot would dress their chicken in anything other than peri-peri seasoning #theapprentice

Stars and fans of The Apprentice have paid tribute to Stuart Baggs, who has died at the age of just 27.
The legendary candidate appeared on Lord Sugar's BBC One business series back in 2010, and quickly became a fan favourite after dubbing himself "Stuart Baggs 'The Brand'" and delivering classic quotes like "Everything I touch turns to sold".
Digital Spy has collected just some of the messages remembering Stuart below.

It's official - interviewer from hell Claude Littner will replace Nick Hewer as Lord Sugar's advisor on the next series of The Apprentice. That noise you hear? It's candidates running screaming from that lavish house.
Because yes, Claude is scary. Very scary. We've lost count of the number of times we've sat on our sofa, chewing our fingernails off and sweating buckets as we watch Claude interrogate the hopefuls who've made it to the interview stage of the competition, destroying not only their CVs but also their dreams. Read on for just nine times we wanted to die watching him...
1. James McQuillan (series 5): "You're trying to defend what's frankly indefensible"
Well, James made the mistake in his CV of writing: "In a nutshell, I put a leash on people who spunk money up the wall." Claude wasn't going to have any of that kind of naughty language - goodness me no.

It's been just a few months since Mark Wright was crowned the latest winner of The Apprentice, but he's not been relaxing - nope, he's been hard at work making his business Climb Online (not Cliimbon Leen, Sarah) a reality.
But how is it all going? Well, Mark's certainly got his thinking cap on at all times - when we finished our interview, he quickly said: "Put a link to my website at the bottom of the article for Seo, please!" Fair enough - but any other tips for us? "Make the title really clear like 'Ppc and Seo agency Mark Wright Apprentice' – all key words," he suggested.
That didn't quite make it past our style guide, but read on to find out what else Mark had to say about his rivalry with Daniel Lassman, his "jealous" critics, whether he'll be replacing Nick Hewer, what he makes of candidates who...

We might have started with 20 candidates on The Apprentice, but we're now down to just two. Lord Sugar's been more brutal than ever, but now he's got to show his nicer side as he picks either Bianca Miller or Mark Wright to receive a £250,000 investment in their business plan.
Bianca's into hosiery, Mark's into digital marketing, and tonight they're both going to launch their businesses in an attempt to prove they've got what it takes. But who'll walk away the victor? We're about to find out, so join us from 9pm when the show starts as we bring you all the action...
23:00But that's that! The Apprentice is over for another series. Seriously, though, when does the next one start? Thanks for joining us!
22:58As a parting gift, Dara gives Mark some cough mixture. Obviously.
22:58Tom, Ricky and Leah are in the audience talking up their businesses.

Dum-de-dum-de-dum-dum-de-dum-de-dum. The Apprentice 2014 is nearly over, but don't start despairing just yet. We have one mammoth clash of the titans remaining as Mark Wright and Bianca Miller go head-to-head for Lord Sugar's £250k investment.
Only one of them can win the grand prize and they still haven't been told who it is. We caught up with the duo to talk about rivalries, frisbees and gameplaying.
An easy first question - who has the best business plan?
Mark: I don't think my business plan is better, I think I'm more suited to my business plan because of my experience.
Bianca: I think our two business plans are very strong for different reasons. It's apples and pears. Mark knows his business, he's done it before and it's an industry that he knows. I'm doing something new, but it's innovative. They're two very different niches.
Mark: I think if I was against another sales person,...

Margaret Mountford has explained her absence from last night's (December 17) episode of The Apprentice.
Lord Alan Sugar's former aide on the show was not present at the interviews stage of the process, despite featuring as one of the interviewers in the previous four series.
She told What's On TV that she hadn't been invited to return.
"They didn't ask me back," Mountford said. "I suppose I was fired!
"No, obviously they weren't going to want me to carry on doing interviews forever, and nor did I want to do them forever."
Series eight Apprentice winner Ricky Martin took Mountford's spot alongside Claude Littner, Mike Soutar and Claudine Collins.
Solomon Akhtar, Roisin Hogan and Daniel Lassman were fired following the interviews, leaving Bianca Miller and Mark Wright as this year's finalists.
The Apprentice final airs on Sunday, December 21 at 9pm on BBC One.

It's week eleven on The Apprentice, and while we're perturbed by how quickly the show has slashed its candidates from 20 to five, it really means just one thing - interviews.
The interviews have become a notorious stage of the process, obviously, and while eyebrows were raised about the fact that we would be losing Margaret Mountford's very eyebrow-based criticism and gaining instead Ricky Martin (not that one), our expectations were still high. And, yes, they were largely met.
It's a credit to the team that works on The Apprentice that a series of job interviews in a boring City building can be watchable, but my goodness, they are. It must partly be luck; it's also thanks to the fact that even ten years in the candidates are still often utterly clueless. Of course that's not all - the interview panel are always deliciously harsh.

The problem with the later stages of The Apprentice is that everyone's supposed to be quite good by now. Alright, so we still have Daniel, but there were far fewer mishaps and nightmares this week. There wasn't even an outright outrage like skeleton-gate.
Another problem was that one team was just so clearly better this week; Roisin proved why she plans to go into the ready meal market with a complete triumph in tonight's premium pudding-based task.
Alright, so this episode had its moments. Yes, Roisin's team Summit immediately came up with a solid concept and name - tea-infused cheesecakes called Tea Pots. Sure, the idea of eating a cheesecake that tastes of tea is hideous, but it makes utter sense in Apprentice world.
And yes, Solomon bullied his way into avoiding the kitchen and getting on the branding team - forcing Bianca into one of those ugly hairnets instead...

The Apprentice lost two more candidates tonight as Katie Bulmer-Cooke and Sanjay Sood-Smith were both fired by Lord Sugar.
The boss took the opportunity to whittle down the remaining hopefuls from seven to five after a premium puddings task, in which the two teams had to create and pitch new desserts to supermarkets.
Bulmer-Cooke - whose business plan involved opening a healthy restaurant - was the project manager for Team Tenacity and managed to shift 13,500 units of her unusually-flavoured trifles to Asda.
However, she lost out after Team Summit - led by project manager Roisin Hogan, whose business plan involves selling ready meals - won an order of 5,500 of her tea-flavoured cheesecakes from Waitrose and a further 20,000 from Tesco.
With just Bulmer-Cooke, Sood-Smith and Mark Wright left in Tenacity, all three of them were forced to return to the Boardroom and they all seemed in danger at various points.

The Apprentice interviews have lost Margaret Mountford... and gained previous winner Ricky Martin.
Martin - who won the show in 2012 - will join Claude Littner, Claudine Collins and Mike Soutar to grill the top five candidates in the famously tough round of the competition.
After the interviews, just two hopefuls will still be in the process and will go on to battle it out in the final.
Martin is the co-founder of Hyper Recruitment Solutions and recently moved out of Lord Sugar's premises into his own office after a profitable first full year.
"The last two years have been a rollercoaster but I couldn't be happier with how things have turned out," he said. "I'm sure it will be strange to be on the other side of that desk this time, but I can't wait to get started.
"I wouldn't be where I am now without Lord Sugar and...

'The Apprentice' contestant Ricky Martin has previously won £10,000 on another BBC show. The burly recruitment manager - who is also a part-time wrestler known as Ricky Hype - won tough endurance challenge programme 'Total Wipeout' in 2009. The 26-year-old hopeful is described by pals as a ''serial game show junkie'' who loves being in the spotlight and has previously applied for numerous other shows, including 'Big Brother', the Daily Star newspaper reports. During his appearance on 'Total Wipeout', Ricky boasted about his physique and branded rival contestants ''nothing''. He said:'' You better witness the fitness. I'm the hype and you better believe it.'' Speaking...
