After another hugely successful season, BBC has decided to commission two more series of reality TV show, The Apprentice.

It is thought that Sir Alan Sugar will continue as the boss and the show is said to remain in its BBC One slot.

Hurray!

Tonight will see Apprentice hopeful, Jadine, crack under the strain of Sir Alan Sugar watchful eye and burst into tears.

She says: “I expected emotional strain, but I didn’t expect it to be like this. Is it worth it?

“I’m not seeing my daughter at the end of a hard day. I’m trying to make a better life for me and her. I want her to be proud of me and I want to give her the best.”

The latest Apprentice to leave the TV show has claimed that he was bullied terribly while in the house and treated worse than Celebrity Big brother’s Shilpa Shetty.

“The backstabbing was unbelievable. I thought it was supposed to be a business show, I thought people would behave more professionally - not like on Big Brother,” Adam told the News of the World. “I was shocked at all the comments made about me behind my back - with people wishing death on others… it was awful.

Sir Alan Sugar was shocked to the core when recording the final episode of this years Apprentice TV show.

One of the contestants to whom he offers a temporary job, turns it down and decides to concentrate on their family life instead. Read more & comment »

The Apprentice achieved its best ever ratings this week with 5.7 people tuning in to see Adam Hosker getting the sack.

The BBC reality TV show boasted 23% of the audience share between 9 and 10pm, beating its previous weeks figures by 200,000 and making it the most successful week for the show so far.

I have to admit, I find this years series much more compelling than last, with a much higher standard of candidates. And Adam really deserved to go, he was a major plonker!

This years Apprentice final on BBC One will have four finalists instead of two, The Sun has reported.

The chosen four are all currently working for Sir Alan Sugar on a temporary basis and the winner will be chosen from this group in a live final next month.

The change to the format is most likely because the winner from last years show, Michelle Dewberry, quit after just weeks into the job. Sir Alan this year, wants the chance to get to know the contestants a bit better.

He told The Sun: “We’ve not really decided how the final will work yet. Read more & comment »

Paul Callaghan has become the latest person to leave BBC’s reality show, The Apprentice. What makes it worse is that he truly believes that he should not have been the one to go and that he was only sent home because of his relationship with fellow contender, Katie Hopkins.

Speaking to The Manchester Evening News Paul said:

“I was totally robbed. It was so unfair. Based on the task in isolation, you could say I made fundamental mistakes, maybe I bought the wrong sort of produce.

“But if you look at the three people in the boardroom and take our overall performance into account, it was obvious that Adam should have gone.”

He said of his relationship with Katie: “We were mates. We did get close.”

Former Apprentice runner up, Ruth Badger has revealed to The Sun newspaper that she doesn’t have very high opinions of any of this years Apprentice candidates. But in particular, Ruth strongly dislikes know it all, Tre Azam.

Ruth told The Sun:

“If Tre was in my business, I’d crush him within a minute,” The Badger said. “I’d smack him. He’s all mouth and no trousers.

“They’re a weird bunch. Us lot used to argue but you never saw us going, ‘Get out of my space!’ That’s not business.”

My respect for Ruth grows by the minute, she may not have won The Apprentice, but she is great entertainment!!

Katie Hopkins and Paul Callaghan were the love story of this years Apprentice show. Well I say love, I really mean lust. The pair are reported to have often sneaked away from the rest of the group to engage in a noisy romps. I suppose it helped them relieve the stress!

A show insider told The News Of The World: “The contestants were all letting their hair down after a tense day doing the doggie task when they had to design a pet product.

“There was no stopping Katie and Paul as the booze flowed. They had been flirting outrageously and obviously just couldn’t wait any longer. They ran up the stairs giggling like schoolkids to the empty room and slammed the door behind them. Next morning, Paul admitted they’d had sex. Read more & comment »

Anyone who has been watching this series of BBC One’s Apprentice show with Sir Alan Sugar will surely be familiar with Tre Azam. That’s right, he’s the cocky one who loves himself more than anyone else ever could. Those of us are getting a little bit fed up with Tre’s mouthiness and ego will be in for a pleasant surprise tonight as Tre is left lost for words when he is given his latest task.

Sir Alan Sugar has arranged for the teams to sell pieces of modern art at an exhibition, but Tre gets cold feet when he realises that some of the pieces are rather racy, and even show bare breasts! Surely not!

When he first sees the pictures he is to sell he exclaims: Read more & comment »

As Sir Alan Sugar’s search for an apprentice approaches the half-way point, he decides to throw the candidates completely out of their comfort zones. He calls them to Christie’s, in London’s St James’s, where works of art regularly sell for hundreds of thousands of pounds. The candidates’ task is to choose photographs and then sell them in a fashionable east London gallery.

Natalie – a housewife with a business Masters Degree – is project manager of the Eclipse team. They are split on the best approach: should they go in for the kill or do artists and their customers prefer a softly, softly approach? Over on the other team, marketing consultant Tre objects to some nude photographs which his project manager, Kristina, has chosen.

If all goes well, the teams could sell thousands of pounds’ worth of photographs. One team still has to lose, however, and after a grilling from Sir Alan in the boardroom, one person in that team will get fired.

Dr Sophie Kain has become the latest victim of Sir Alan Sugar, and viewers of BBC’s TV show, The Apprentice last night will have seen her being fired in true Alan Sugar form.

After Sophie struggled with the latest task of selling lollipops to children (doesn’t sound too difficult does it?), Sir Alan said: “This is the real world love, this is not your scientific protons and neutrons. I’m wondering, have I got another one here who should really stick to what they know?…You’re fired!”

However, Sophie insists she was happy with the outcome of the meeting. She admitted to being “quite pleased” by her dismissal and added: Read more & comment »

After being the latest apprentice to be fired,  Gerri Blackwood has told the Daily Star that producers blocked up three of their house’s five bathrooms in a bid to get some of the contestants together.

Gerri stated:

“We all thought it was a bit bizarre that we were put in this huge mansion which boasted five bathrooms and yet three of them were out of bounds.

“One of the bathrooms was used by the film crew, but two of the others were closed off with ‘Out of Order’ signs on them. That left two bathrooms to share between 16 people. I am not sure whether it was deliberate or not but you can imagine they wanted us to share showers.”

Gerri Blackwood has become the latest apprentice to be fired by Sir Alan Sugar.

Gerri revelaed today that before taking part in the sow she had been offered a job with MI5, but turned it down for the chance to be Sir Alan’s Apprentice.

Blackwood said: “I’ve no regrets about turning down MI5. Five days before filming started it was made clear to me that it was one or another. I couldn’t choose both.

“I really thought about it, and for me there’s still no regrets.”

She said of Sir Alan: “He does exactly what it says on the tin. I thought that he’d not be as scary as all that and might be a bit of a pussy cat, but he’s not. I’ve got a large amount of respect for him.”

The teams have been set a back to basics task for tonights show. they are given £200 per team and told to go out and start a business from scratch. the team that earsn the most money, wins.

The girls decide that the best way to go would be to sell kisses on the street, but it semms like Sir Alan wasn’t too pleased with their business idea.

Sir Alan stated:

“It doesn’t sound too great to me. Sounds like another old profession I’ve heard of!” he says.

Naomi Lay also expressed her distaste at the prospect of kissing strangers saying:

“I don’t really want to be doing that. I’m a businesswoman, not a prostitute.”

But the others talk her around and they’re soon out on the street.

The boys, on the other hand, launch a gardening business and a pub DJ service.
