"You're a light weight!"


Yes, folks - he's BACK! The spunky, hard-nosed little assassin, Sir Alan Sugar, begins another season of cut-throat, back-biting, competition.

The Apprentice sees sixteen candidates, in two teams, competing against each other for a six-figure salaried position at S'ralan's company, AMSTRAD. Each week the candidates take part in a task set by Sir Alan. Each team will have a Project Manager who manages that group for that task. All the time Sir Alan's aides will follow the groups, and inform Sir Alan of what has really happened.

One blogger describes the series as, "top class pseudo-reality TV with a perfect combination of different personality disorders".

As a bit of background, the UK version of The Apprentice has Sir Alan Sugar in the Trump role of the hirer and firer. Sir Alan is the CEO of Amstrad and a prior owner of the Tottenham Hotspur football club. I like him so much more than Trump. He just seems more intelligent and completely unpredictable (as evidenced by some of his firing decisions from last year - remember good ole Joe?). My adrenaline is rushing just thinking about last year's episodes!
