I went to school with the curly red head girl - Paula. She didn't say much tonight but think she'll get louder as the weeks go by!

Considering the complete and utter tool he employed last year. Is winning this competition really much of an achievement?

I don't normally follow it but tuned in last night. The show is utterly ridiculous. Last nights first task was to set up a cleaning company. They were given a budget, contact details and they set up meetings with potential cleaning customers - one selected cleaning high end cars, the other cleaning in bulk for a mini cab company. No problem there, thats good. They made a strategy, pitched for a contract, ensured they could make a profit, balanced their books etc.

but why then make the whole lot of them actually clean the cars?! What do they know about cleaning cars - expecially professionally valeting the high end ones. There's specific companies out there with pretty skilled guys who take great pride in giving a good valet. Of course they were going to fall flat on their face and make a shit job of doing that. But what did that prove? They're not cut out for a career as a cleaner? The apprentice isn't called "The Apprentice: How Good are you at cleaning a car". Its a fundamentally flawed and moronic basis for a show. At best the team should have been told to manage a team of car cleaners, that would have made sense.

End of rant.
