The Apprentice
Watched this for the first time last night. What a joke. Was pi55ing myself laughing at the idiots trying to run the pizza outlet. WTF was they doing, umming and arring, nobody taking responsibilty for the **** ups etc. What a laugh. Gonna carry on watching this.

Seen some of it, riubbish, as for it being about the best people getting the opportunity then that is bollox. They picked the people most likely to keep the viewing figs high.
If Alan Sugar really believes otherwise then i think he is kidding himself or having a fecking good laugh. I suspect the latter

All the real entrepreneurs are out there entrepreneuring, not looking for a permie job for someone else. Some are merely using it as a career stepping stone and for some public exposure (hopefully good, but clearly not the case for some of the candidates 
).
).

I cant help feeling that last night if that woman had said I was the project manager and I should be soley responsible for the overall outcome of the project and if you feel its best to let me go then so be it although the other idividuals made some basic stupid errors that really should make them look at themselves then she might have come out of the board room still in with a chance and some credit to her name, instead she ummed and arred and tried to pass the blame whilst looking lost which is what made Alans mind up IMO

Thing is the £100k a year job works out at £10 an hour when you see the time the winner has to spend on the role...
I saw the review of last years winner and he was working 168 hour weeks + overtime :eek, relaunching a doomed Amstrad product

One hundred Chicken Pizzas
One hundred large chickens
Laugh - I had to go and change my socks - the boys set Alexa up and she was completely fooked as soon as she put her hand up!
Brilliant programme - as long as you know it is nothing to do with leading edge British management

My next three that have to leave on the grounds of being sh1te are the Scottish tart who moans all the time without ever having any constructive input into anything, Sayeeed because he is arrogant, thick, patronising and speaks without content and of course Jo who has more than overstayed her welcome the mentalist
Mani was useless, absolutely useless, world class presenting? err no, world class bullsh1t more like... The kind of person that if they worked with you, you would beat up at the xmas do... Slimey fool!!
Paul, Carl *** and the northern blond bird
should remain to the end for me...
Great show...
