philmophlegmJust out of interest, is there anyone on my friends list who is as big a fan of The Apprentice as I am?
This series was, I reckon, the weakest in terms of standard of contestant, but easily the best in terms of great television.
I'd love to put in links to video clips for those of you who haven't seen this, but it looks like the BBC has asked YouTube to take any down (fair enough I suppose). Anyway, my favourites from this series would be:
Rory (plummy voiced bankrupt entrepreneur with Joe Strummer hairstyle): "I am your boss."
Tre (argumentative Muslim nutter): "Bu..."
Rory: "I AM...yourboss!"
Simon (eventual winner) managing to screw a trampoline leg into a trampoline live on a shopping channel in a very suggestive manner without realising it.
Paul (chinless wonder ex-army officer), trying to sell traditional English pork sausages to a butcher in France, gets the reply: "I'm Muslim, I don't eat pork and I'm fasting as its Ramadan".
Katie (posh blond girl from Exeter, who is completely unlike the Katie I work with who is a posh blond girl from Exeter), about Christina (runner-up Irish single mother): "too orange to be taken seriously" and "Kristina is a total arse-coverer, which is more than can be said of her skirt".
If it wasn't for Rome coming back next Wednesday to take it's place, I'd be in despair!
