This year's Apprentice candidates were more divided than ever as tensions escalated and backstabbing ensured amid tasks.
And it didn't stop when they left the boardroom, with recently fired star Ryan-Mark Parsons telling us that the house was "psychologically challenging" and that some candidates were "isolated".
In particular, he said that Marianne was "very alone", while there were two groups who didn't like each other.
This comes amid recent controversy surrounding Lottie Lion's comments in the candidates' WhatsApp group, which were branded racist.
Ryan-Mark said that in the house, candidates "tried to be happy", but many found it difficult because of the intense tasks.
Following his firing yesterday, Ryan-Mark told Mirror TV about the house: "It's quite psychologically challenging because we'd have these clashes in the boardroom yet when we come back to the house we have to play happy families.
"It was problematic, because I'm quite straight-forward and blank and I don't like all this sort of acting, I guess you could say.
"We tried to be happy but with some people, you know how they feel and they're a bit sour."
Asked who he got on best with, he said: "Overall, I got on with quite a lot of people - Thomas, Dean, on a personal level, Lewis, really liked Lewis, Lottie. Just some people like Marianne, Jemelin, Riyonn, I didn't like at all."
After blasting Marianne for being a "troll" , he said that she was a bit of a loner in the house.
Ryan Mark said: "Even in the house, Marianne was very isolated, she was very alone in the house.
"She was quite close to Scarlett but I don't know whether that was because of her age, Marianne was very aloof."
*The Apprentice airs next Wednesday at 9pm on BBC One
