The Apprentice - the home straight

For those of you who haven't seen The Apprentice yet - please DO NOT read any further!

Finally the right decision has been made - Michael has gone at last. Alan Sugar was really wavering at the end and I was convinced he had got away with it yet again - but luckily he saw sense at the last minute.

The Apprentice was particularly amusing to me last night because the task was renting out super sports cars to rich city types for either the hour or the day. Amusingly two of the cars in the original line up were featured at the Channel Awards back in November - the red Ferrari that Michael disastrously tried to sell, and the yellow one. (I can't remember the make now as I am not into cars).

However, very frustratingly I watched the follow on programme on BBC2 straight after the main programme and Michael actually came across much better than he did in the original series - he accepted that he was an idiot and laughed at himself quite a lot. I almost found myself warming to him. Almost that is.

My prediction for the next one to be fired: Lucinda or Helene - it depends which team wins the task. I think Alex is going to win now that Raef has gone.
