Alan Sugar - looking tired and losing the plot?

The Apprentice gave us another reason last night for thinking that it is selecting it's candidates purely on the basis of their (quirky) personality.

Katie Bulmer-Cooke who had been one of the more competent and sensible candidates over the 10 weeks was dismissed as her business idea wasn't going to be "big business".  Sorry Alan....didn't you know that 10 weeks ago?

This comes hard on the heels of him over-throwing the results of the buying competition the previous week in a desire to make a point over a paper skeleton that fitted the buying specification.  If you want to have a go at somebody, have a look at whoever wrote about buying an Anatomical Skeleton, minimum 150cm tall.  Nothing much in there about what it has to do/be made out of.  On that evidence Lord Sugar - you're fired!

The best part of the programme is still the start of the boardroom segment when  Lord Sugar comes out from behind the glass doors, looking like he has just returned from the gents.  Cue a flood of east-end accents: "I'd give it five minutes in there if I were you....."
