Anita Shah has become the first candidate to be fired from this years Apprentice series.

Anita was part of the all female Ignite team. As part of their first task they were given a white van, a maximum of £200 to spend on equipment and told to make as much cash as possible.

Despite claiming that she had one of the best financial minds in the UK, Anita started the girls on the path to losing before they had even cleaned a single car. At the start of the task, Anita was asked to hold a calculator and tot up how much they were spending on cleaning materials. She seemed elated when they managed to spend a mere £196 and kept talking about their cleaning ‘budget’. In reality the team had no budget, just a maximum spend amount of £200. They boys managed to buy all their materials for £107, which in the end won them the task.

However I don’t really think that Anita was single handedly to blame for the girls losing this week. They all seemed to lack any business ability and common sense for that matter. Mona, the team leader was wholly incompetent and seemed to think that you win contracts by calling the customer a liar. To make it worse not one of them knew how to work a bloody pressure washer! Anita was the obvious choice to fire though. In the boardroom she came across like a big wet lettuce. She had no spirit, no drive and was defeatist from the moment she sat down. Sir Alan likes a feisty girl and tonight Anita just didn’t live up.
