The Apprentice - Series 9 Page 14

It was funny seeing Jordan cut down to size, but it seemed cruel and exploitative to let him go through the whole process when they knew he was a bullshitter. Poor sod didn't even get a taxi ride interview.

Yeah, weird that. You'd have thought they'd have checked all that out before signing them up.

Neil's idea was bloody terrible.

(I'm watching on delay at the moment)

What? Oh.

I still don't know who's in the final!

Okay, I like medical woman best. She actually has a proper plan.

She actually really annoys me - "What's the biggest lie you ever told?" "That I'm a size six". Do f**k off love.

Also, at 24, she must have been a doctor for all of five nanoseconds. And she is already giving it up to go on The Apprentice and inject poison into people's faces?

Luisa all the way for me.

As a side note - is it wrong to find Claude rather attractive? Lovey

The way he (and the rest of them) laughed at Sugar's mediocre jokes was the worst kind of sycophancy.

I know - that made me sad. I always thought he was his own man, a maverick, a bit dangerous. Obviously I was wrong. :(

Lol, she was the best of a bad lot, for me.
I also quite liked that she said she'd do the cleaning if she had to.

Good point. But she's at least qualified as a doctor which makes her cleverer than I'll ever be.

Pffft. You're a right clever clogs. A proper girly-swot I'd wager.

I. Wish.

Or perhaps Sugar is a comedy genius? He's had a lot of practise; Amstrad quality was a joke.

I quite like the doctor. Luisa never f**king shuts up about how she's a strong woman.

I almost cried at Neil's "I'm just a boy without a plan" comment in the taxi. Poor little thing. It was a truly crap idea though.

She's not a doctor she's just someone with a medical degree. I wouldn't be surprised if she doesn't even have that though as she seemed very shallow and insecure. Part of her resumé emphasised that she had more 'voluminous hair' than her rival contestants for f**k's sake and her habit of putting lipstick over her lip line is more common in porn than on an obstetrics ward.

The women have been unbelievable caricatures this series, and even the sanity that usually prevails on the You've Been Fired programme, where a BBC make-artist takes the trowel out of the contestant's hand and shows them how they can apply their slap and do their hair in a non-frightening way appears to have been given up: Francesca looked like a nightlight when she came out she was so yellow.

I kept waiting for Dara and the guests to comment on how unbelievably cheap and ridiculous she looked although of course I knew they wouldn't.

In the week of John Inverdale Wimbledon comments it's all too depressing.
