Things are looking grim in Blighty at the moment - the students are rioting and the Irish government has turned to free cheese in a last ditch effort to save their economy. But fear not for the Apprentice carries on as strong as ever. We’re now officially halfway through the process but there’s still an entire boardroom full of useless candidates, arrogant twenty-somethings and super-sized egos waiting for their turn to fall.
So with that in mind, here are the awards for week six:
An early morning question – Why is it always Stella that answers the phone/door and why is she also unusually well dressed on every occasion? Maybe she’s an insomniac, or maybe, just maybe there’s something a little contrived about that morning scene…
Outfit of the week – another one on the notch for the BoyBrand this week thanks to his Hobbit trousers in the house at the start of the episode. One Brand to rule them all?
Sir Martin Sorrell’s next Apprentice – Erm, maybe not. I know Christopher has been on military duty for a few years, but surely he’s watched an advert since 1957? “If this doesn’t work, if it doesn’t look comfortable, it’s just gonna come across as cheesy”. You ain’t wrong mate.
Young businessman of the year – aged just 26, Alex is apparently already an expert in marketing, advertising and PR. That faint rustling you can hear is the sound of job offers pouring through his door…
Common myths about PR – great quote from investment banker cum Oscar nominated director Chris this one, “I thought if Alex was the ideas man then he’d come up with more ideas”. Oh Chris, don’t you know? PR workers aren’t ideas people mate, who gave you that impression?
Pants Man 2.0 – Pants Man last year was truly unforgettable but he may actually have been surpassed this week by both the Germinator and that bloody Octopus. At least the Y-fronted superhero moved around a little bit – poor little Octopus just stood there forlorn in her shiny new kitchen.
The Jeremy Clarkson school of acting – Chris has clearly been watching a lot of Top Gear in the office. Apparently scrubbing gravy off a hob requires a pause mid-sentence in the very best Clarkson style. I just can’t………shift this gravy
Quote of the week – really no contest here. Simply brilliant from Alex on negotiating the sensitivities of the second world war and calling their product 'Blitz': “Most of the people that were alive then are dead now anyway”.
For those wishing to pay their respects in the more traditional way, Remembrance Sunday is this weekend.
