Well - what did we think?


She talked herself into a hole I guess - but it always seems to be the leaders / conflictors who end up in the boardroom. Lots of nobodys get to walk into the next round not really having done anything or been noticed doing anything.


Think Debra was lucky to get away with calling her team puppets.


Was that Carole Vorderman on the panel - she looks better all the time.

The Apprentice is the only reality TV I do watch, I love it, just some of the most deluded thick people on the planet! Unfortunately I never saw last night, as I was all ready to watch it, when I got suddenly very ill, and had to have a doctor out. No fun at all, but will make sure I catch up.
I've often thought that they could make the Apprentice far more entertaining if when Alan 'I've donated my fee to the great Ormond st hospital' Sugar comes out to evaluate the teams performance in relation to whoevers getting the chop one of his assistants helped him into his chair.
Interesting.....I recently received a CV from an Apprentice candidate from the last series asking me for a job. It was a good, strong CV until summer 2007 when it read " X then took 18 months off to star in the popular TV series The Apprentice when X made it to the last four". This person called me up, we spoke briefly and it would seem that after their fleeting spell in the limelight and the usual 12 months opening Business Centres in Romford / falling out of nightclubs it's back to (real) reality. With one helluva bump. And to be honest there was no way I'd realistically consider them - so career suicide too. Great TV though.

It's still fun but the whole thing's looking a bit worn this time around.


S'Ralon's opening 'speech' to the candidates was bad written, poorly delivered and massively cringeworthy, making him look like a parody of himself, but that's what happens when things get hackneyed.


I think this ought to be the last series (so expect another six)

Agreed - clearly written for him. He's naturally good enough to ad lib himself without a lame Elton John gag written by one of the producers. His appearance on the One show the other night was a prime example: On truants - "Round 'em up and make em watch an Alan Yentob documentary until they go back to school".

I think it's very entertaining... all these delulded 25 year old salesmen, who think they're business tycoons, talking about their "management styles", etc. If any of them were half as talented as they believed they were, they wouldn't be bending over backwards for a 100k job working for Alan Sugar in some Essex backwater.

And the fact that everybody and his dog has seen The Apprentice now has a bearing on how the tasks work.


It used to be great watching a bemused businessman or random bod getting doorstepped by a dozen absolute tits and deciding for himself to show them the door.

But now, the instant they see the cameras, the suits and said tits you just know they're thinking "aah, The Apprentice, I shall play along.."


Hopefully the less improvisatory 'street' tasks (designing something for presentation to industry etc) will still be good though.

    • I reccomend Crab Salad-I used to have my hair cut by the owner when he was at Blue tit in Peckham...I moved with him to Cs when he opened it. I've had other stylists there when he was'nt available on the date I could make and they're all excellent. Its a nice vibe too-just very relaxed not too 'hairdressery' (If you know what I mean) and I've reccomended it to neighbours and colleages who've all been very happy. Its not the cheapest but nor is it super pricey and they use good products too.
    • I went last week and would recommend. I was very happy to see pricing based on hair length and especially a fringe trim price. I live nearby and don’t need it fully styled / blown out after a cut (curly so usually prefer to do it myself) so I like that it is variable pricing in that way. 
    • Memes top of lordship haircut shampoo blow dry about £25  dulwich barbers hair cut about£22  jazzes haircut about £26 
    • Re Day One, £52 for a short hair cut (cut & styling) and £72 for a long hair cut (cut & styling) which I believe is below the ears.  £38 for a blow dry which doesn’t appear to be included in the cut price as it’s not mentioned.  £15 for a fringe tidy.      I remember being startled to be charged separately for a blow dry by the salon that used to be in Melbourne Grove but is now closed down.  I was asked if I wanted a blow dry after the cut and highlights and said yes, but wasn’t told that I would be charged separately.  Only found out when I went to pay the bill.    Was offered a voucher on a further appointment.    De.Salon which used to be Cut-Throat in Peckham (Choumert Rd and Brixton) charge from £45 for a Short haircut that finishes by the ears.  They charge from £40 for any haircut that finishes below the jawline.  Their prices include a blow dry.  But if you have thick hair they charge an extra £15 for every additional 15 minutes for cutting.     I had my hair cut there before the name change.  I don’t understand the from part of the price. Had a look at the Blue Tit pricing which is very complicated. They charge depending on the stylist’s  experience.  Crab Salad in Peckham  -  short hair cut above the ear - from £69.    Long hair Cut below the ear from £80. Blow dry not mentioned as being included in the cut but is priced at £55 I noticed that Kuki charge different prices for men and women.  Doesn’t seem right if a woman has short hair and a man has long hair.   I used to go to a great salon in NW London  that charged the same price for men and women and stopped going when they upped their prices for women.
