Tonight saw the semi final of the BBC reality TV show, The Apprentice.

Controversially, instead of sacking one person, Sir Alan Sugar announced that he would sack three, to make room for two people in next weeks final.

The contestants had to endure three rigorous interviews with trusted business associates of Sir Alan, who then fed back their opinions to the boss man.

Sir Alan quickly arrived at his decision to get rid of Lohit and Tre (FINALLY!) but was in a quandary when it came to decide between Katie, Kristina and Simon.

Sir Alan voiced his concerns about the location of Katie’s home in Exeter and her two young children. He was also suspicious of Katie’s motives when it comes to winning the apprentice’s job. Many of his associates suspected that Katie would win the show and walk away soon after.

After receiving assurances from Katie that this was not the case Sir Alan Sugar offered her a place in the final. As he went on to deliberate between Simon and Kristina he noticed that Katie looked less than elated, prompting him to ask her if there was a problem. She admitted that the move from Exeter to London may not be as easy as she had implied and after some deliberation decided to bow out of the race.

So there you have it, Kristina and Simon in The Apprentice final. Kristina is probably the better candidate, but Simon is a lovely guy with loads of untapped potential. Tune in next week for the series finale!
