Tonight’s Apprentice Live Blog

You remind me of final scene from wizard of oz, you look impressive but behind the curtains there’s nothing there Will Sir Alan have a put down this week to match that? The UK Apprentice is on BBC tonight at 9 o’clock and the live blog will be running here and on Elf In Amsterdam from about 8.45. Unfortunately, I won’t be around this evening (I’m going to the theatre, don’t you know), but there should still be plenty of people around to help slag, slate, size up and slam the would be Apprentices.

Apprentice S05E05 Review & Gossip

Our “rough tough creme puff” from NY, who was going to give us “balls right now” is gone! Even she had to admit that her teams product was Pants! Yes last week the teams had the branding and marketing challenge, oh and there were hot branding irons in the fire by the time the final three were in the boardroom.
