Dentist Jana Denzel, a candidate on this yr’s collection of The Apprentice, shares why he determined to depart the present.
What impressed you to hitch The Apprentice?
I made a decision to go on the present as a result of I noticed a dentist on it final yr, and earlier than final yr I feel I final watched the present a couple of dozen years in the past once I was in highschool. I used to look at it after faculty, and it seemed actually enjoyable.
I believed can be a good way to go on the present to get some publicity. I’ve simply opened up my new enterprise, Denstudio, and I believed it might be a good way to get extra sufferers in. And talking to Paul from final yr, I do know that him and his brother have gotten plenty of sufferers from the again of it, so I believed, hey, let’s go in, have enjoyable and see what we will do.
How has the expertise been to date?
My expertise has been nice. I feel this yr is kind of a bit totally different from final yr. Final yr was a little bit bit older, a little bit bit extra mature. This yr, it’s obtained to do much more with leisure.
Thus far, we’ve had three weeks, and in these three weeks I’ve been voted on numerous web sites that I’m one of many favourites to win. So, on that facet, it’s good. I simply hoped I had a little bit bit extra air time than you see me to date.
Why did you resolve to depart the present?
As I stated, from the beginning of the present, I got here on the present to have enjoyable. I needed to have a extremely good expertise, and it has been. It’s been a tremendous expertise, with the ability to journey to Austria, make a pop star and a reduction shopping for process.
I simply felt that from episode one, two and three, I used to be doing all of those nice offers that you just see small, little clips of, nevertheless it by no means actually lands within the boardroom. And I simply didn’t suppose I obtained the reward I needed from Lord Sugar. I simply felt like perhaps he didn’t see me as somebody he needed to spend money on. And that’s how I learn it after episode three.

So, from then onwards, I used to be identical to, you recognize what? I feel there are individuals over right here that need it greater than I do. And, you recognize, I simply didn’t suppose it might be acceptable for me to hold on staying.
And, in fact, as a dentist, you all the time must respect your occupation and put your occupation in an excellent mild. So once I thought issues on the present won’t have been so skilled for me, I made a decision it’s essential to place my occupation first, and that’s why I took a step again.
Understanding what you recognize now, would you could have executed something otherwise?
Effectively, this season, in case you are tuned in, is so much totally different to final season. Final season was a bit older, a bit extra mature. This season, they’ve positively spiced it up. It’s been in comparison with Love Island rather a lot, so I can see that it’s lot extra entertaining.
I feel if I used to be to play it good, what I’d have executed is, as an alternative of attempting to be all trim and correct, I’d have simply been a bit extra entertaining, you recognize, stated some wild gives entering into there that will have most likely obtained me a bit extra display time, and simply been a bit foolish with it.
Nevertheless it’s an leisure present. I believed I used to be occurring extra of a enterprise present, nevertheless it’s a TV present, and I used to be a bit naive in that sense. So, I’d have simply made myself a bit extra entertaining and humorous.
Why is it essential for dentistry to have this illustration? Are there any downsides?
I feel it’s an excellent factor for me to characterize the occupation. Thus far, as much as episode three, you do see me being correct and trim, however I feel it’s additionally essential for the occupation to ensure that we’ve got a enjoyable facet to it as effectively, and present our personalities and have fun.
I obtained instructed that this yr, from one of many producers, they’d extra dentists audition to be a part of the present than they’ve ever had. So, I used to be stunned by it, however then figuring out how effectively Paul did final yr, I can think about these individuals who would wish to go on and get that very same highlight.
So, I feel it’s been optimistic, and I simply hope that individuals proceed to take pleasure in watching me on the present.
