The Apprentice Week 2

Another week of The Apprentice, another disastrous showing for the team that is a slow motion car accident, the women. They really are a complete bunch of back stabbing, whining, clueless, witches. One of the boys commented on how much make-up they wore while another came back almost immediately with the fact that they needed to. Hmmm, sexism in the workplace? A bit, yes. Completely true, yes. I expect there will be howls of outrage from business women about their portrayal but the fact is none of the women are showing the slightest sense of business acumen right down to the basics of dress sense. If you want to be taken seriously in business then it's dark business suits and white blouses. Nothing else will do. Some of the women looked like a complete dog's dinner. Sort it out.

Once again the task completely overwhelmed the girls. They had 2 days to create an idea for a new toy, prototype it and then make the sales pitch to professional toy designers. They were abysmal. Making a fundamental error they came up with 2 ideas and couldn't decide between them so doubled the workload and halved the manpower by developing both in parallel and then decided on their favourite 20 minutes before the vital presentation. It turns out the team leader chose her favourite one of the two possibilities over the vote of the team. Not surprisingly she got the sack.

Sir Alan Sugar is so obviously worried by their performances this far that he has decided to mix the teams for next weeks task. Once again the trailer for the show showed the head witch, Saria, causing trouble and tory boy Matthew (who will get a slap before he's sacked) being the complete chinless wonder I nailed him to be within the first 2 minutes of last week's opener. Tune in next Wednesday 9pm BBC2.
