I find watching The Apprentice inhibits any form of intelligence.
Have to agree there, I find it a hard program to bring myself to watch these days. Clearly none of the 'candidates' have any business acumen, and come across as a bunch of ego centric sales consultants, boasting about how great they are, and then grovelling for a job with Amstrad.
Are they even aware of the some of the ridiculous products Amstrad have churned out, such as the GX4000 games 'console', an 8-bit atrocity trying to compete with the 16-bit Megadrive and SNES. Unsurprisingly it was relegated to the stalls of Sunday markets shortly after launch, being sold for a few quid. And what's that E-m@iler phone all about?
I found Richard Branson's 'The Rebel Billionaire' far more entertaining. I particularly like the episode where Branson dresses up as an elderly taxi driver responsible for picking up the shows contestants from the airport. The taxi driver (Branson) struggles with their suitcases, and makes an assessment of the contestants character based on their response to this, those that did not show any compassion were canned. Very good
This time it has the worst candidates ever! How can you possibly sell ice-cream to a shop that makes its own ice-cream.
And three appoinments were ice-cream makers and they ended up cancelling one appointment, so they only sold to two major clients. How to snatch defeat from the hand of victory...Lindy should have gone sooner...I just think about the 24/7 laundry hotline.
Wonder if they'll do a fifth series?

What's so 'R&B' about her I'd like to know - although she did look a bit like Howlin' Wolf.
R&B in the modern sense is music with whining lyrics, tedious rap or both, its pop for people who don’t appreciate proper music and would rather listen to a genre where each track is indistinguishable from the last, very popular with chavs.
Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave Johnson
