With tired tasks and a rather underwhelming intake of hapless hopefuls the current series of The Apprentice is starting to drag a little. However, I found last week that a way to make it a little more interesting is to follow Alan Sugar's running commentary which offers sparkling insights into the show.
For example, last week's episode started in a very rainy London on the roof of restaurant Coq D'Argent. In the background you could see driving rain and the floor was awash with puddles. Sugar tweeted:
Then there was a scene where contestant Ricky was eating scallops while a restaurant owner showed him all around his establishment, clearly hoping for some free publicity. Sugar tweeted:
But after all that, the restaurant owner said 'no' when Ricky asked whether he would offer any discount on his prices. It had been a waste of time. Sugar tweeted:
And then at the next restaurant Ricky ate more scallops:
In the third restaurant Ricky ate even more scallops:
Great stuff.
