    I think that the Apprentice would be made much better by putting them all in a Gladiatorial stadium, a la the Colosseum and let them fight each other to the death, the winner being the last one standing and, to win the job, he must personally deliver the head of his last enemy to SurAlan on a plate.

      He was fired for being a bolshy northern barstard who was always wrong and didn't sell anything.

      His boardroom claim to be a better salesman than Lorraine, who sold quite a bit, wasn't quite enough to save him.

            Or make it a commercial enterprise - all of the Apprentices have got to find the cheapest price for whichever instrument of death they'd propose to use, model mathematically their cost:kill ratio across various scenarios (Monte Carlo, anyone?) and rank order the cost:kill ratios so that the apprentice with the "best" C:K enters the stadium last, thus giving them an advantage.

            Am I spending too much time thinking about this, or am I simply a cycle-path?

                It would be a more appropriate way of choosing Srallens new 'executive' than giving the little barrow-boys and girls twopenny selling tasks.

                  Don't mock the stupid greedy conceited loudmouthed self-important little barrow-boys and girls. You may be clever and do real work of real value, but if you work through agents, you work for people like them.

                    He was a miles better salesman than the goggle-eyed burrd.

                    I heard him say so himself.
