The Apprentice 2008 The 16 Apprentices

We were excited all day yesterday and the thought of being able to sit down at 9pm every Wednesday Night for the next couple of months and watch a whole load of mouthy, cocky, young people all fight to be The Apprentice 2008.

I just love the ones that have been to university and got BA Hons and Masters in this and that, yet cant add up 1 plus 1...



Last nights show was particularly fantastic, more about that in a minute!



So the 16 Apprentices are....



Raef Bjayou
Jenny Celerier
Nicholas de Lacy Brown - FIRED and Deserved it in the first Programme.
Sara Dhada
Lucinda Ledgerwood
Jennifer Maguire
Lee McQueen
Lindi Mngaza
Kevin Shaw
Simon Smith FIRED
Michael Sophocles
Helene Spieight
Ian Stringer - well the one who couldnt say the word Loser got fired
Shazia Wahab - FIRED in Second Week Unfairly!!!
Alex Wotherspoon
Claire Young



So last night all they had to do was sell some fish, 600 quids worth of fish had to be named and priced....oh and find a market to sell it at....Not one team got it right.



I dont really know the prices of fish but do know that Lobster is always very very expensive in restaurants....well the boys were selling it at 5 pounds a lobster! Even I know that thats far too cheap and I havent even been to University or ever eaten it!

Claire managed the team for the Girls and Alex for the boys....neither of them were particularly fantastic, but they did put themselves forward and Sir Alan likes that, especially in the first programme so I was pretty convinced that neither of them would be fired.

Nicholas who was the one to do the pricing was brought in to the board room with Alex and Raef and the minute he started about "Class and Educated" you knew he would be fired....Sir Alan doesnt like that ....Nicholas basically said that if you speak a little cockney, or more like...not like him you were uneducated. What a X%$&·"&!

Lets see if what Sir Alan calls a "Toff" will win this year....it would a first...I doubt it though.

Its funny, naming all the names above and seeing some of their pictures I only actually saw about 4 of them lastnight. Raef, Alex, Nicholas & Claire.

Cant wait till next week. What did you think? Leave a comment
