Apprentice ep 6
Last night's episode of the Apprentice was once again very entertaining and it always starts to really get going when it reaches the halfway mark (hard to believe we're already there eh??).
This time the two teams had to sell a lot of bric-a-brac on the streets of London at a profit (that means Ben, that you sell it for more than its valued at!). The two teams were lead by Ben lead Empire while Philip lead Ignite, now while this may sound like two of the most assertive and competent candidates were leading this time round, things still managed to go way off course. For starters Ben decided to unevenly split up the selling of the items, by given half his team 3 and his other half (that he would sell) 7! Surely as Debra pointed out a 50/50 divide would have been much better. To top things off Ben drastically kept underselling every item, he seemed to completely miss the point of the task, sell at a proift not a loss, Ben! On the Ignite team, Philip was no genius either mind, because of his previous clashes with Lorraine he once again completely chose to ignore her advice on valuing the Indiain carpet item (which turned out to be the most valued item on the list at over £200!) so they ended up wandering round trying to get it rid of it last without even valuing the carpet in the first place since Philip seemed to think it was nothing but old tat!
But at the end of the day (its a cliche I know) Philip's team managed to win the task because they at least took more of a profit than Ben's team did (albeit both teams still made a loss, Philip's team just made less of a loss). In the boardroom Ben after some hesitancy decided to bring back in Noorul and Debra for the failure of the task, and after a little show of fire and self defence from Noorul, and some rather lippy words from Debra to Nick (shame on her! She got a well deserved warning from Sir Alan) no to mention a flustered Ben trying to defend himself, Sir Alan made the decision we have all been waiting for, and fired Noorul. Let's face it Noorul was probably the weakest contestant in the show, Majid even showed more interest and passion than he did on the odd task but Noorul either through TV show editing or a pure simple lack of contribution, didn't show us anything, so it was time for him to go.
Anyways that's it for now, time for some work.... blueeghhh!!
