THE APPRENTICE

So it's back to the boardroom with our favourite business man "Sugar" as I like to call him because you know me and him get down like that so we skip all those formalities. The Apprentice is back on our televisions screens and its only the first episode and there's already bitchiness going on between the girls.

So the episode begins and we get introduced to this years contestants who give it all the talk with their "slick" cheesy lines that they rehearsed over a hundred times in the mirror to hopefully come across as worthy to work with "Lord Sugar"

Oh look it's "The Master Puppet-tier"

Heres a few of those crap lines they put out...

• "They call me the master puppet-tier because I have a habit of pulling peoples strings and getting them to do what I want?" (*rolls eyes*)
• "I can be like an animal and I will literally roar my way to the top" (maybe she should have literally roared it would have been more effective)
• "When it comes to business, I'm like a shark. I'm right at the top of the food chain" (How original) ...I truly am the reflection of perfection (really?)

So the task was to use a blank canvas of any sort, put a design on it and sell it. I can honestly say "The Apprentice" is the only show I feel you should be allowed to get an extension on your coursework for. I don't feel guilty for not revising when watching it because I feel like I'm learning about business and all this is pretty much what I'm doing for my degree. Anyway back to the show. So the girls decided to print these very nice customisable animal designs on bags, t-shirts and puzzles for kids while the boys aimed at tourists with these awful designs of buses on bags and somehow they managed to win. So it was off to good ol' Bridge Cafe for the girls. (I bet they make a mean Full English) 

The girls desperately trying to force bags on a shopkeeper.
She told you she doesn't like buying under pressure. LOL

The thing that fascinates me about contestants on "The Apprentice" every year is that the majority of them give the big talk about how they have done this, how they have done that. But with all these accolades hardly any of them have any common sense. Which leaves most of us arguing with the TV screen screaming "You Idiot" The Apprentice to me is 40% business acumen 60% common sense which is usually the main reason a team fails...lack of common sense. 

I couldn't help but laugh that the so called "Master Puppet-tier" tried to sell those crusty damaged bags to that lady to have her call him back and refund the money. Everyone knows if you're selling something dodgy, after you sell it...RUN!!! (Guess those so called puppet strings were as dodgy as them bags)
