This is the first time during series 6 of The Apprentice that I have been stunned by Lord Sugar’s latest firing. Liz Locke has great people skills; she sold double the value of tickets compared to ego-maniac Stuart Baggs and demonstrates more integrity. Could it be that Sir Alan is relishing the public humiliation of Stuart during the interviews or does he genuinely admire the self-made millionaire? Who knows, yet I still felt dismayed that maybe even such a charismatic and well-respected businessman might be swayed by TV ratings and audience figures?
I like Jamie and thoroughly enjoyed his ghoulish accounts of gruesome murders yet I don’t really rate him as an inspirational leader. He makes me laugh, he has lots of likeability (Stuart take note) and yet he kind of does his own thing. My ideal final would see a stand off between the cool, calm and collected Stella English and the droll, ‘poshly spoken’ Chris Bates. Two very different candidates with very different personalities and styles yet both have interesting strengths that would provide a great climax to this series.
I LOVED the panel on the BBC Two – You’re Fired! Vanessa Feltz oozes charisma – she is passionate, witty, articulate and very astute. I particularly liked her strong stance with supporting Liz. Ms Feltz you are looking really good these days, you radiate an aura of happiness – bring it on!
With Christmas fast approaching I was somewhat dismayed when a journalist asked if they could include my Charismatic Conditioning CD as a suggested gift for your enemies???!!! Obviously in my mind, this is a top pressie for anyone yet finally managed to see the funny side.
I hope the WikiLeaks cyber saboteurs of the Visa, Mastercard and PayPal haven’t interrupted your online shopping pleasures – wow, what power! Note to self ‘Investigate the concept of charismatic cybering’
Have a great week
