And then there were 2.....

Unfortunately I missed the Wednesday night edition of The Apprentice but caught it on iPlayer last night. It was the interview episode and as expected, some candidates folded under the pressure. 

As someone who used to do interviews in a previous job, I know that The Apprentice style of interviewing is guaranteed to make good TV but it did show up some interesting and relevant points. Why did James decide to be silly and immature on his application form? Why did Yasmina not understand her own accounts or even the basic terminology used? Why did Lorraine get her dates of employment wrong by a whole year? And why did Deborah give references of people that she obviously couldn't trust to be nice about her?

It all made for great viewing - and it did help Sir Alan get a new government post as Enterprise Tsar.
