The Apprentice Week 9

The one where Sir Alan missed a completely open net and fumbled the obvious decision to terminate the permanently clueless, back stabbing witch that is Saria ("the best sales woman you'll ever meet" as she tells anyone who'll listen every bloody week). Really, come on now, she had to go. Yes Raj was never going to win and was just there to make up the numbers but Saria's failure was so obvious she had to go. This was at least the third time she's had a complaint made against her. The guy helping out for the Harrods task, the artists in the art gallery task and now the bloke from Spurs who Saria threatened to report to Sir Alan Sugar the next time she was in the Boardroom. She has to go!

James is too weak, Miriam continues to do well, Timothy is showing signs of dropping by the wayside and Paul is just like a bomb ready to go off at any moment. I can only think that Sir Alan Sugar is keeping Saria around as Paul's nemesis so that he can see how Paul handles the stress of being around her.

Wednesday BBC2 9pm, even more unmissable as we get to the sharp end of business.
