Dirty deeds done dirt cheap

So daily blogging is not happening!

I watched the latest episode of "The Apprentice" earlier (via my IPT of course!)

The gloves came off this week! The task was to operate a laundry and make as much money as possible. The boys picked "la di da gunner graham" (real name Raef) as their leader, the girls picked Jenny.

The boys had a guy who had been in the army in Bosnia and had "run a laundry there!". They also did some home work, by ringing some laundries up and asking them what they charge. This meant that when they went out selling they were somewhere near the market expectations.

The girls argued! And then they argued some more and just when they were getting somewhere they decided to argue again. Priceless but car crash TV at the same time. The girls had no idea on pricing so when they went to a hotel to pitch a deal they asked £5K for a job he normally pays £200 for! They also lost the plot on logistics and ended up losing two shirts and Sir Alan was not impressed.

The boys won easily and actually seemed to do a good job (or it was well edited!).

The girls lost and Shazia was fired (she had been in charge of logistics and Sir Alan blamed her for the lost items). But Jenny and Lucinda had argued and argued and frankly both were far more deserving of eviction, BUT they are far more ratings worthy that Shaz. Sir Alan knows who pays the bill!
