YOU'RE ON THE FENCE

And so The Apprentice winds its weary way to the final which is turning out to be not a final at all but another task episode where three people will have to get fired.  You would think Suralin with his 40 years in business, £800 million pound empire and 6 trusted advisors would actually have been able to make a decision.  Maybe he was having a senior moment.  Lucinda made the fatal mistake of being honest and questioning her motivation which to be fair had only been planted in her head in the first place by one of the bulldozer interviewers.  Alex could barely wait to squeal her up in the board room which eventually led to her sad demise.  "Too Zany" apparently.  So why the hell did she not go earlier? It's not like she suddenly changed overnight.  I remember seeing her wearing a beret in week one!

So we're left with 4 muppets who apparently are all so good they should be in the final.  There's Lee who was exposed as a liar, Claire who apparently does not listen ever, Helene who is more suited to the X Factor with her sob story, and Alex who is 24.  Yes, 24.  Did anyone notice that Alex is 24?  He's 24 you know.  Can you imagine when he's 95 and does that thing of telling everyone how old he is?  

Not really bothered about who wins now.  Frankly it's hard to pick a favourite in a four horse race.  I'm leaning towards Lee McQueen because even though he did lie about 2 years of university, he has a desperate need to be accepted and really wants the chance to do the job.  Out of all of them, he would be the most compliant, and in all honesty that's probably what this show is about.  One more week to go!!
