Actually, that Lindsay who was fired last night scrubbed up ok. I never noticed her before because she did sod all. Very strangely, in relation to your post, I started thinking to myself as she was effectively resigning that she wasn't bad at all, and very strangely, in relation to your post, just after she got fired I started thinking she was gona look good on You're Fired, and not very strangely at all in relation to what I've written already in this post, when I saw her on You're Fired my penis decided that it would like to make her pregnant.

They could re-run last years show again but give them different names. You'd hardly notice. Same type of tasks, same type of people.
This series will be no different from the last, and the one before that, and the one before that...
One problem with British TV is it takes something that works then, rather than trying more stuff, prefers to milk the cash cow to death. The Apprentice ran out of steam after series 3, that is when they should have dropped it and done something else.

X factor, strictly cum dancing, dancing on ice, I'm a celebrity, BGT have all over stayed IMO. It pisses me off that, when running, many of these shows completely dominate weekend Prime time TV. For me Dragons Den is the only such programme that still works probably because of its variety of entrepreneurs who enter.

Agree with the general gist of this post but don't think it's at all applicable to The Apprentice. The Apprentice is intelligent TV and beneath all the embellishing and self-promotion going on there is the very serious matter of a businessman trying to decide which candidate is most deserving of his investment. This isn't The X-Factor where they're trying to figure out which person would be the best at selling sex to children.

In the end it's only Opportunity Knocks or New Faces with a re-scrub.

It is desperately in need of a re-format. How about having a panel of members of the Royal Family say Queenie, Nick, Anne and Harry. Contestants are battling for a plumb job in the royal household and are given tasks each week to see how they perform and are imprisoned in the Tower of London for six months as they are eliminated. Tasks could include arranging a holiday for the Corgies, organising the re-marriage of Andrew and Fergie and, for the final, covertly spearheading the demise of a member of the royal family of their choice.

This isn't The X-Factor where they're trying to figure out which person would be the best at selling sex to children. Intelligent TV? Pull the other one! to be fair i believe the Dictionary definition of "Intelligent TV" in the new edition is: "Staged, contrived but disingeuously labelled under the tag of Reality TV / Television based around a group of unconvincing,obnoxious pseudo intellectuals with bad makeup and designer stubble who wouldn't look out of a place in a Byker Grove reunion / a group of individuals who try to convince people they'd be more at home on Only Connect although they wouldn't know what Twisted Flax actually was" Sugar knows full well which people are likely to make it to the end of the show..if people genuinely think he's basing who he fires on just how they do on the tasks and doesn't take into account what shit business idea of theirs he'd be forced to invest in if they actually went on to win then they're ridiculously naive! the candidates will be chosen based on a few who have genuinely good ideas and business plans that sugar may be interested in and then the producers go through shit loads of interviews with the rest to see what their personality is like and whether or not they'll make good TV (one of my mates applied a couple of years back). it's no different from the X-factor in that respect. a once good show that is now well past it's sell by date and needs reformatting or dropping...like the rest of the reality TV, it's sold out completely in order to give the public good entertainment and just isn't Reality in any sense of the word anymore.

Ye fairplay MMLC I'd have a hard time arguing against that. Still though, I fucking love the show!

I'm glad Lauren stayed in, we need some eye candy. Although, on reflection, I think I'd smash Bianca too.

Lauren = cock sucking lips. Strange, my predictive text wanted me to write "clock ducking..."
