The Apprentice, ah the apprentice. Its currently going through a mid-season slump with mediocre episodes by its high standards, but is still highly enjoyable.First of a nice early start of 5.10 am. Who is in the office at 5.10am? That's ludicrous, Alan has lost it, and has clearly over-stepped the line and abused his powers. I think sleep deprivation is torture tactic, which was employed by U.S security forces under G.W. Bush. I feel sorry for Alan's secretary who has got to wake up, get into the office and phone them up at 5.10am.
The Task was about Margate, in East Kent, and based around rebranding the town.
One team targeted the family market, the other the gay market.
Mona language watch: "Is there a big population of the gay or lesbian?",
Mona to the transsexual: "Are you a man or a woman, I wouldn't know"
and "You're a boy, but you're going to be a girl?"
She does speak 6 languages so she can be let off.
Lorraine Intuition watch: It springed up a few times this episode. She still talks about her vision, intuition and thinks she's right all the time. I wish she would shut up. She's going to be even worse next week.
Boardroom Dramas: Didn't really happen this week, a damp squib. Not much back-stabbing or angry words just a bit of discussion. Sir Alan's puns fell short this time, something about Punch and Judy and Pier's didn't really come off with any kind of conviction. Then came out the mandatory finger and catch-phrase....

And Mona was fired (here's the video)
I don't have any sympathy for Mona as her misguided narrow-minded religious views put her at a disadvantage. However I don't think she should have been fired for this task, even if she was a relatively weak candidate. Stone-faced Deborah should have gone in my humble opinion.
