That wannabee Guy Ritchie cockney git really gets on my nerves. Heck, they all do. The kids in the focus group had a better grip on things than the candidates!

Anyone watching the Apprentice?
Thought I recognised Amy and after a bit of digging she was behind the UK Tour of Happy Days and was on the sound of musicals on channel 4.

The worst bunch I've ever seen. It was honestly hard to watch even in a 'so bad they're good' way. That these people can dress themselves in the morning never mind run a successful business boggles the mind.

I enjoyed the first episode. It must be very difficult to have modified the format to work on closed sets. Yes, it is a personality show, but Lord Sugar is smart enough to know the value of TV advertising for any business he put £250K (in return for 50%) into.
I must admit to some bias having contact with several previous contestants, but they have all done well from this.
Lord Sugar's biggest reality TV success story was getting the go-ahead to go and film a celebrity series in Australia whilst most of us were barely able to leave where we lived.

I haven’t watched it for a few seasons because the contestants were getting younger and younger (I find it’s the same with Police officers  ) and more and more embarrassing. However I watched E01 because Amy is in it and I thought it might mark a change in casting policy. Not really! They’re still mainly early 20’s by the looks of it and clueless. Would it really be a less interesting show if we had serious (but interesting) business people tackling meaningful/realistic challenges? Apparently not, which is why we get more Lowest Common Denominator tv which seems intent on making everyone look stupid. Amy was a bit rubbish in the first challenge and the wrong person got fired. I doubt I’ll stick with it. |
