I just got around to watching this weeks Apprentice UK, I only just got around to watching it as I had to wait for it to appear on iPlayer as my PVR failed to record it — don’t you just hate it when that happens.
Bet they wished they’d have used the backup exec open file option from EBackItUp.com
I think that the mistake made by the woman who ended up getting fired by Sir Alan has to be the biggest mistake any one has ever made on this show, I mean wow, there’s quite the difference between something costing £5 and something costing £700, and then losing the vital data that would have picked up the error and saved them. They should have used one of the many available online backup solutions, then they would not have even had to worry about it at all. It is such a shame because they actually made a good product and were able to sell it for a really good amount. eBackItUp.com is one such service they could have used — I just tried it out myself and it’s really simple to use, I think even my tech-not-so-savvy parents could cope with this. They use advanced technology to make sure that your data is safe and secure and I think I would be very happy to use their service.

Just watched this weeks Apprentice UK and they should have got their printing done at http://www.nationwideprintsolutions.com/, they are professionals and I am sure would have told them exactly where they were going wrong — this would have avoided them ending up in the boardroom and Mona getting the big finger of fired from Sir Alan!
Why on earth did they think it was OK to fill a poster with so much text? They were even told that a posted should have 10 words at most, they had about 75 per posted. And then leaving the back two pages of the leaflet completely blank? Well duh, every one knows that that is not a good idea, they should have put something there, anything. A simple picture or even just the name Margate would have been better than leaving it blank — and then trying to sell it to the executives that it was left blank on purpose to allow for local advertising to appear in that spot, like they were born yesterday and would believe that.
Frankly I think that Debra should have been fired as she was the one in charge of the design and printing, but I had a feeling Mona was going to get it in the neck. Great episode

I think he was probably the most unlikable person on the planet to me for the last few weeks any way, I am rather fickle.
It was great to see him get the chop, after confidently professing there was no way he was getting fired this week just moments earlier.
However, and it pains me to say this, he really didn’t deserve to go home this week — that awful bloody bulldog Debra woman did, this is the second week in a row that her decisions have caused the team to lose the task and both times she has survived.
What does Sir Alan see in her that no one else, including his two aides who clearly detest her, does?
Ben has been slayed, Debra must be next!

I just finished watching The Celebrity Apprentice Finale, I actually started watching it a week ago but have had to start and stop it so often, A because it was so long and B because I couldn’t stand all the whooping and hollering and praise for Joan — so it’s taken me an entire week to get through, not a good sign.
Joan and her snobby little brat are two of the most unlikable people I have ever seen on one of these types of TV shows, momma certainly fucked that child up!
Annie Duke was no more likable, she’s the sort of woman I would run as fast as I possibly could from, I am amazed she has any friends with the way she treats them. But she was undeniably the deserving winner of the show — she was far superior in every way and as she rightly pointed out Joan’s actions in the boardroom would not have been acceptable any where, any time, in front of any one, but apparently that means nothing to the Trump.
It’s clear that this is now an entertainment show, rather than one with any basis on actual business sense.
Joan will go down as one of my top five least liked reality TV winners ever. It is at this point I want to say I will never watch any thing with her or her cretinous daughter in it ever again, but given I have never actually seen either of them in any thing before now robs me of that!

Watching The Apprentice always makes me want to look up jobs in finance or some other high pressure job. Truth be told I would be terrible at it, I would crumble quicker than an apple crumble but I like to pretend I would make a good business woman — mainly because I would look hot in a suit
Can’t wait to watch the finale from last night, Annie and Joan are probably the most unlikable people on the planet but they make for interesting telly which is what it’s all about

Watching The Apprentice UK last night (yay, it’s back!) made me really want a Used Audi, seeing the new batch of candidates not only get driven around in them while they formulate their business plans, but also in this episode valet them — well talk about subliminal advertising, and talk about me falling for it like a sucker!
I will buy a Used Audi A3 at some point in my life, maybe not just now because I can’t afford one — not even used, but I am determined to own one eventually.
I have always had hand me downs in the past, usually old bangers passed on by family members. So to have a new and high quality car, well I would feel like Queen of the World

Watching The Apprentice always makes me want to look for sales jobs, I think I would be terrible at it frankly, but it always looks so exciting on the show. The 8th USA series begins on March 1st and Comic Relief are doing another celebrity version here in the UK in mid March — so lots of Apprentice to come very soon, happy days.
