Holy Bloody Hell.
These people are supposed to be bright?
They’re chasing a low six-figure salary?
This evening we have two teams of candidates running around on a shopping expedition in Marrakesh.
There’s the gobby northern twat – Claire – who is so mouthy that she’s stealing everybody else’s oxygen.
She embarrasses me.
That I’m a member of the same species as her – that’s what embarrasses me.
She doesn’t know the meaning of the word ‘silent’. She doesn’t know what the word ‘tact’ means.
And she’s so much in denial that it’s actually beyond belief.
Lee, bless him, is trying.
But sadly he’s trapped in the back of a taxi with a Muslim girl who apparently doesn’t understand the concept of evening prayer in an African country.
And let me get this straight… Jenny (the tall read-headed candidate) who tries to bribe a member of staff in a store to not supply the opposing team is applying for a job as PA to Sir Alan Sugar (AMS)?
Yet she shows the ethics of Fagin?
Does she honestly think that AMS wants to be associated with someone like that?
Back in AMS’s boardroom she opens her mouth and lies and lies and lies.
The team leader (also a Jennifer – but another one) is frankly, a brainless, spineless, game-playing Northern Irish bint.
And on their team they have a person who describes himself as ‘a nice Jewish boy’ who doesn’t know the difference between Kosher and Halal?
These are allegedly intelligent people?
Meanwhile on the other team we see a degree of control that’s completely absent from the former team.
In particular Rafe is a real player – though I strongly suspect he’s doing so well in Marrakesh because of his looks, appearance and above all, his excellent demeanour.
I’m warming to him.
He’s improving with time.
I realise that The Apprentice is car crash television but some of these people are so contemptible that they almost defy belief.
In the taxi back to the house the aforementioned gobby northern twat – Claire – tells us that her nickname at work is ‘Rottweiler’.
I’ve got news for you Claire.
That nickname is nothing to do with your attitude.
It’s because you’re a dog.
B.
Miaow!
I completely agree with you! In my view, Claire should also have been sacked. I much preferred the wining team. Definitely warming to Rafe. And red head Jenny was awful and so dim!
Plus, “rotweiller” isn’t a nickname you should be proud of. Even if it refers to your attitude.
PS. How come I still have a low 5 figures salary (in dollars yet) then? (Yeah, I know how come. I could do a job I’d hate for thrice the salary.)
SG: Yeah, a bit catty of me, sorry. 🙂
Citronella: I know this is a (broadly speaking) ‘reality’ TV show but as a consultant I’d have to wonder why AMS needs a new PA every year? 🙂 Don’t worry about the money thing. Apparently it’s the root of all evil anyway.
