Funny watching The Apprentice and thinking how I will soon be an apprentice myself! (not for Lord Sugar of course, that would take some doing!). But tonight's episode was another very entertaining one, where the two teams, boys against the girls, had to go and locate 10 items and do some discount buying and get the lowest price possible for the items. To be honest I was a bit suprised at the outcome as the girls team sold really well and got all 10 items, as the boys team lead by Jamie wasn't quite so efficient as they only sold 7 items, with Jamie who PM'd really struggled trying to find his items. But there was some comic fun on the way, with Chris and Stuart doing a double act going round giving sob stories to the sellers, such as my Nan just died and I need to get this for my sister's wedding, surely they wouldn't believe that!
But I was quite surprised that Liz's team failed, because they buy all 10 items, but I think they messed up on the pricing and got it wrong as they ended buying too high a price. In this task I felt Stella actually contributed less as she distanced herself from the hardnosed buying apporach and stood back in general, leaving Laura to try and get the bargains. In the boardroom however Laura got the brunt of the failure and Lord Sugar let her go, although to be honest she was up against with two very strong candidates, although I'm starting to go off Stella a bit, as she does come across a bit icy and she won't take any prisoners, but I think its important even though they are in the contest to win, they have got to try and show a positive attitude. I also think Stella has it in for Stuart, and Laura actually defended Stuart because they worked well together, to be honest Stuart is growing on me, he is if nothing else comedy gold, but he also gets things done, yeah ok is rather brash when in charge but he is just a young nipper so he's got alot to learn, and just maybe he could be the next Apprentice because he has shown an enterpenaurial edge so far. In the end though I think Laura had to go, she was as strong as the other two candidates, she was quite lippy but I did think she was fairly honest as well and held her hands up when something went wrong, and You're Fired she came across as quite a sweet person (and pretty cute!).
So we're down to the last six contestants and not long till the finish line, methinks it could be either Liz, Joanne or even Stuart in the final, but not so sure about the others. We'll soon find out.
