The Apprentice Episode 6

Sir Alan showing off again this week, that little rascal. This week’s task – given to the teams via video as he “couldn’t be there in person” was preceded by his boast that he has sold in every country in the world. Really? Don’t remember any Amstrad goods in Croatia… Anyways, the task was to sell typically English produce to French, in a small market town. Each team was given a list of suppliers of traditional English food, and given a day to buy all their stock and get over to France for selling the next day.

One team decided on marmalade & jams, tea and smoked fish. The other chose sausages, cheese and chutney. Oh yeah, and that’s cheese from Makro the famous producer of English products, otherwise known as a cash-and-carry. Needless to say, these giant slabs of English cheese didn’t go down well…especially not a country so famous for its cheese as France! And also needless to say, they lost. That’s Army Paul, Posh Katie, Schoolboy Adam, Gobby Kristina and Quiet Ghazal getting a bollocking from Alan Sugar. Team leader Paul chose Adam and Kristina to go back in the boardroom with him. There was no way Kristina could have been fired at this stage, as she was infinitely better on the task than either Paul or Adam. Adam seems to be doing his hardest to do as little as possible in each task, so goodness knows how he’s survived this long. But Paul, alas, got fired because he just made too many bad decisions. No doubt he won’t be hurrying back to a Makro any time soon.

Adam went back to the house after to be greeted in stone cold silence as none of the other housemates expected – or wanted – him back. I think he might – might – now realise what the others think of him. Katie – rumoured to have had a relationship with Paul – was surely the least impressed!
