The Apprentice
OK, I’m decided. I’m going to start watching The Apprentice.
I saw a few episodes last year before we started doing Unreality TV and loved it! Alan Sugar pulls no punches with the wannabe entrepreneurs, and it’s entertaining to watch some of these folk sweating as they try to excuse themselves or backstab a colleague or whatever.
Anyway, in preparation for the next episode tomorrow night, I did a bit of scouting about the blogosphere to see what other folks thought of the series so far. Yep, investigative journalism at it’s finest….
Freeman has a commentary on the opening episode of The Apprentice which is funny and he was apparently in the auditions for the last series. Rob Buckley isn’t impressed by the jargon-talking, self-fellating arrogant business types who don’t apparently have any real clue between them
, but isn’t that the beauty of the show?
Martin Little thinks that Jo Cameron and Syed Ahmed are plants, purely for comedy value. Interesting. I don’t think Sir Sugar would go for a stunt like that, would he? Finally, Lady Muck has another great commentary on the early episodes.
Well, that’s enough for tonight. I’m sort of looking forward to tomorrow night’s Apprentice now! If you’ve been watching The Apprentice so far, let me know what you thought of it.

What amazes me is the low standard of contestants they have. I mean, Sir Alan is really trying to find an employee, right? That’s the idea? They’re not just ‘entertaining’ folks pulled by the producers for maximum comedy factor? Because they are truly useless!
There’s real comic value to the contestants this year, I was getting really bored of the ‘loud-mouth’ last year.
Syed is a arrogant blagging fool, the other gents are quite dull to say the least.
Ginger-Jo is quite uplifing but amateur and tired looking…
I thought there might be a professional and fiesty woman this year… although in saying that I think the fat one might have more to offer than we might think.
