That Shaiza asian girl from the Apprentice ..

Not true. Sugar fired 2 in one week last series because he thought they were both rubbish.

He's not going to do that this early in the series though!

Donald Trump ruled one week that they were so bad that neither team won, but still only fired one contestant.

she lost 1 client's shirt and then got fined 50 quid for it ..

i know, what a cheek, my shirts are worth far more than that, got off lightly i reckon

£ 50

Was it for 1 or 2 shirts though? Somehow I think Sugar wouldn't spend more than £ 25 for one.

This is why, excepting tonight, I don't watch programs like The Apprentice, Big Brother, I'm a Celebrity....

They are the worst possible form of entertainment : Reality TV based around the suffering and conflict of others, served up to titillate people who find other's suffering an enjoyable pasttime.

It's all conflict, back-biting and deviousness. Values we are taught to loathe and despise. So why are these values glamourised ?

I'd say it's the same as watching rooster fighting, badger baiting, etc.

Can't they do a "nice" version of "The Apprentice" ?

I totally agree - and I don't watch it at all (the actual prog). However I can't resist an occasional watch of the "you're fired" follow up, as it's nicer, you don't have to sit through all the dross of the actual prog, and you get a summary of what happened. It is interesting to see people who, for example think they are "the best saleswoman in Europe" parading themselves on telly.

I thought the ex-squaddie (Simon) did well, but I'm not sure he'll cut the mustard when it comes down to leading the team.

Other than that, that short fella who is obviously in love with Raef and dances like a girl should be shot in the head and removed from the program.

And, oh yeah, the PM should have gone...

This is the guy that the bookies have made 'the favourite'. Michael (his name) was at 5/1, followed by Raef at 6/1.

Might put money on that. The bloke is a sheep. No way he'll win...
