Addicted to the Apprentice

May 2nd, 2006

You know you’re addicted when you watch a rerun of the Apprentice on BBC that you saw last week, and then flick over and watch another rerun of the Apprentice on TV3 that you saw last season. But what a difference in the quality of candidates. Tonight I watched (for the third time) the Series 1 episode where James got politely dismissed, despite being an excellent candidate. It was a testimony to Tim and Saira (not psycho Paul, he was just left in it for the entertainment value I’m sure) that Alan Sugar could afford such a luxury of dumping a perfect candidate - essentially because he was too good for an apprentice role.

Tomorrow night, the current crop will be grovelling to Alan, panicking in the boardroom, arguing and backstabbing each other, and trying to dump the blame for their miserable failure on everyone else usual. For an entertaining finale, he should get rid of the lot of them and hire James from the last series.

    Alas Mr Sugar fired me when at the helm of Spurs during the Championship Manager campaign of 00/01.
    Better men than James have felt his wrath!!

    Hah, it was your own fault for signing Horatio Peralta. On the topic of Spurs - GO SPURS!
