So Long Simon!



Forget Pompeii, this mug is the TV moment of the week. Yep, it's The Apprentice! Simon "stepped up to the plate" and led Renaissance in the photo task. Simon decided on a glamour theme...I say glamour, not entirely sure this is what I'd call it.


Princess Diana:- looking surprisingly well considering.

Helene led the other team deciding on a lookalike theme, which provided much laughter as the team auditioned for someone people would like to get their photo taken with.



Christ it looks like the strangest celebrity edition of The weakest link


Although it was a good idea, Helene is such a hateful figure (Not much of a surprise going by this years candidates) and made such ridiculous decisions. Putting Lucinda, who would tell anybody that listened about her lack of computer skills (probably shouldn't tell Sir Alan "AMSTRAD" Sugar about it.) ...in charge of er...the computers. Oh, and printing the photos on normal A4 paper, but they won! Disappointed that this didn't come up in the boardroom but oh well, Helene's team did give us this classic Apprentice moment.

I think this speaks for itself really....

Simon on the other hand failed to even break even, due, mainly to the odious trio of Alex, Jenny and Clare. Neither one of these streaks of piss treated Simon with the respect he deserved as Team Leader, and are so bloody coniving that Alex and Jenny turned on Clare in the Boardroom when it looked like maybe, just maybe Sir Alan might sack her!
Boo, and indeed hiss
So with Simon gone there isn't any particular redeeming features of this years candidates...barring Raef and Lee McQueen, who is starting to grow on me. Next week the teams have to come up with an ice cream flavour. Presumably something with a bitter aftertaste? Eh? Eh? See what I did there? And what exactly was that cameraman doing filming Raef in the shower?

Is he crying AND masturbating?

I'm genuinely sorry to see Simon go, especially seeing as his appearance on You're Fired highlighted what a lovely guy he seemed to be. But being a lovely guy, clearly isn't what you need to be the Apprentice.
