Well Sirralan – as I like to call him – is back on BBC1 this evening with some more idiots seeking their 15 mins of fame and actually wanting a £250k investment off him for some half-brained scheme that they have.
The Apprentice for me now is pure reality TV entertainment – and and no longer a business show that you can learn from. The 14 hopefuls have to audition fro their chance, but I really do think that they want to seek fame in a posh kind of way rather than from a professional viewpoint – why would you put yourself through the entire process and expose your flaws and character on national TV?
AND the majority of “Apprentices” have not lasted the distance. Stella English is now suing Lord Sugar for constructive dismissal after he refused to renew her £100,000 a year contract with his company. Yasmina Siadatan left Lord Alan Sugar’s business empire - after falling pregnant for a second time in less than two years.
Not good – and what awaits the fate of the next bunch of numpties?
Yes, they are going to get into Whiskey Mist and Mahiki every now and again, but truth of the matter is that they will fade into Z-List oblivion very soon after. No-one remembers who got fired first…..and they are back to their normal day job and become unrecognised.
For me, this is now turned into a spectator sport – watching people squirm and make mistakes and wanting the horrible ones to fail miserably so they can be told “you didn’t make it your loser” – like Big Brother without the 24 surveillance.
For all the shows flaws and misgivings, and even thinking it is a serious business programme, this is good value for the next 14 weeks -
Lets see who is the next Stuart “The brand” Baggs.
Interesting to note that Bordan Tkachuk – one of Sirralan’s trusted circles - has not made it back on TV since his wonderful gaff:
"I know what ISP is. It's an Internet Service Protocol. And that's what you're providing. It's not a telecoms operating licence. It's a protocol that allows telecoms over bandwidths.
"I've been running Alan Sugar's companies for the last 25 years, and that's why I know a little bit about technology."
Not all the contestants on this programme are a bunch of complete twats.
Oh, and just to get you in the mood – brilliant video from Youtube – says it all…..
