The Apprentice 2009

Sir Alan Sugar with his sidekicks Nick and Margaret

It’s been a bit of wait but it is back! And it’s compulsory viewing for me as always, lol. 16 brand new contestants ready to fight their way to secure the top job with Sir Alan Sugar.

Even before the show began filming, one of the male contestants “bottled it” as Sir Alan would say. It was said that the missing member didn’t want to leave his young family behind, which is fine except that he decided this at the last minute. I think that was selfish on his part as his place could have been used for someone else who was more committed and deserving of the opportunity. Looking through this year’s contestants, there is no one that really stands out for me. It’s probably because there are so many of them to begin with but hopefully we’ll get to know them better as the series gets underway. It’s good to see Adrian Chiles back doing the exit interviews on “The Apprentice: you’re fired” programme straight after each new episode. Always funny!

Looking forward to next episode :)
