This year's Apprentice has been poor compared to previous years; the format hasn't changed, the tasks are the same, yet each year people boasting about their world class skills in marketing, selling, strategy and presentation seem more likely to succeed in bullshit than anything with added value in today's testing times. I would doubt if Lord Sugar would normally share a cup of coffee with them let alone £250,000.
So far we have had a promotion for English sparklng wines called Grandeur (!), an Italian sauce called Belissimo, gourmet food on sale outside a football ground in Edinburgh on Sunday lunchtime -yes, 'Gourmet' food, the kind of pasta and meat balls that the average Scottish football fan has probably never heard of never mind tasted; while spray-on tan turned out to be a big seller in Essex...
There is a candidate called Nick, who may be a posh-boy but either doesn't own a comb or intends his hair to look like it was slept in for a week; Nick who has a tribe tattoo on his arm and may have been spawned by a former soldier of the Kray Brothers; Jade, whose irritating, whining voice and practical skills don't match; and Tim, a monosyllabic, moody robot whose hair -unlike Nick's- is carefully coiffed so that it never moves, spooky.
I am watching it on iPlayer so I don't know if the interviews have been done yet. If I was Lord Sugar, I would pretend to have a heart attack and shut it all down. I'm not looking for a friend, if I want a friend I'll get a dog. And that's the best line this series....
