The Apprentice: Espisode 7


Another good episode of the Apprentice, not brilliant, not a classic, but good.

The Apprentice is still going strong with another 8 million viewers on Wednesday despite the Champions League semi-final.

This week the task was selling-based, selecting products and then selling them on. Alan Sugar's obsession with selling is ridiculous. I'm not sure if he has realised but only a small percentage of Business-to-business or even Business-to-consumer marketing is actually personal selling, but he still loves it, and is £900m richer than me.

Also has anyone noticed that Mona speaks incorrectly or at least in a unorthodox manner. She seems to select random business terminology in places where it is doesn't need to be.

Lorraine played on the intuition and instinct thing and kept saying "I've got a feeling", well I have a feeling that you're not a very good team leader and just because you've had an ego boost doesn't make you Rupert bloody Murdoch you annoying woman.

There was some good pre-rehearsed puns coming out of the teams today,
With Philip talking about Lorraine: "Mystic Meg's going to be going back inside the crystal ball" with Lorraine coming back with: "Philip, he supposed to be some dynamic door-to-door salesman, he didn't show any of that dynamite yesterday, unless I put a bomb under his bottom I don't know what would have moved him"

Boardroom Drama: Alan was enraged when some candidates came back with no sales, he was furious when they didn't arrange meetings. He was so angry it was like one of the candidates had defecated on his stupidly large car. The Lorraine-Phillip argument raged on, with Philip landing a sharp and well-placed blow to Lorraine. Phil's frustration and immaturity shone through and quickly lost the respect of Sugar.

You're Fired: After toying with the candidates it was clear that Kate was never going to go with a straight toss-up between Lorraine and Phillip. Then the finger and the catchphrase came out which was aimed at Phillip, the big-talking Geordie. (he wasn't very happy at all, muttering under his breath "joke" Here it is


Lorraine is getting very annoying and if she keeps saying don't underestimate me etc people are going to loose patience

I want James to win as he's like a big kid
