    Did he? I didn't see last night's episode as I watching the footie. Fair enough, if he did say it, not so brilliant now.

    That's good. I think he's a fundamentally decent sort of bloke even though he has relentlessly created an endless series of crap products.

    He could have been Dell if he'd done the PC stuff right. But it always has to be 'bottom line first' with Sugar, resulting in scant R&D and shoddy products with dodgy features.

    Surely, if he has any sense, he'd be think to himself "I wouldn't really want to hire ANY vainglorious twat that actually WANTS to be in this show".

    Well they don't last very long in some minor section of his company. Sugar has an apprentice in his son anyway.

    This years bunch have to be the least likeable of all candidates, the ones we have loved to hate in the past did have some redeeming features, Trey, Badger, Syed,Paul, while obnoxious were also funny, intentionally or otherwise. This years lot have become more aware of the working of the machine, whenever that happens with reality TV the game is over.

    All he does in the tasks is take up a position of the periphery and keep his head down. As for the spoken word being his tool, maybe he means in the spoken word he'd be called a tool. Captive audience not captivated audience!

    Don't think you can reach to punch him (He's over 6 ft).
