Sir Alan Sugar with series 3 winner Simon Ambrose
The 3rd series of The Apprentice and still a big fan. This year’s winner was Simon Amstell, typical public school boy but hilariously sweet guy and was my favourite to win out of the ones that were left. Characters that stood out this year are Tre Azam who was similar to Syed Ahmed from last year, but less idiotic and much more business minded, although the dishonesty gene did rear its ugly head at the beginning of the series, which did not please Sir Alan.
Token asian girl Ghazal something (her surnames escapes me at the moment), didn’t show much business initiative just very out spoken, but perhaps the only key skill required in her business? Simon’s finals rival was Kristina from Harrogate, who was a single mother and also a very business savvy lady. However she also spent a lot of her time battling it out with the manipulative (and maybe evil) Katie. Another guy that constantly got attacked by Katie was Adam, though he did look a bit of a fool at times, he certainly didn’t deserve to be on the receiving end of Katie’s evil tongue. An interesting twist to this series was when Sir Alan was deciding on the two contestants for his final and it was between Simon, Kristina and Katie. Sir Alan actually picked Katie as one of the final two; only for her to turn around and refuse his offer! No one ever does that Sir Alan and it also begs the question whether she was really serious about the whole competition in the first place, when there were others that were more deserving in my opinion. Also as a little side note and a bit of a girly rant; I so didn’t like Katie’s (err eye-catching?) eye make-up or her love of pure white trouser suits in a sea of black coloured business suits. I know how that sounds but I feel like she was separating herself from the crowd though she achieved that through her deceiving nature and acidic tongue, which were more than sufficient.

I normally don’t bad mouth people, but Katie seemed to rile a lot of people this year and screwed over a lot of her fellow contestants. Not a nice thing to do, tut tut tut. All in all, I thoroughly enjoyed the tasks and the series was still as entertaining as ever. Looking forward to the 4th series!
