I am an avid watcher - love Alan Sugar. He definitely made the right decision on last night's episode - won't spoil it for you bit it's the episode where they have to sell designer gear. Let me know what you think :)

I missed the Piers Morgan show with AS but keep meaning to download it. If you thought last week's apprentice was good this week's is even better.

He got it wrong last night - he was surprised by her 'outburst'. True, she was ranting incoherently at times, but she was one of the stronger participants overall.

And I saw her on that Fired show later (where Darragh O'Brain interviews them) and she seemed eminently qualified for a job as a glamour model - stunning.........!

Serves your right for talking about current shows. So how about Survivor? When is that nasty Afro-American girl getting the chop?

Don't agree! But I'll not discuss any further as BC hasn't seen it yet.

Just curious BC and all - you / we love all these UK / US reality shows - would you be as excited / into an Arabian version (in English of course!) - a real one, not a fake knock off, but a real, well done version just based in the Middle East...?

impossible to say, some people like some reality shows and not others. I love UK Apprentice, can't get into American Apprentice at all, I know people who are the other way round. I can't say I'd be into an Arabian reality show just because it was based in the ME, and the cultural norms here might make it difficult to do properly in an entertaining way. What is racy and daring to Arab viewers might end up neutered and bland to western eyes.

plus it would have to be something I could download and watch without ads, can't be doing with the terrible local TV channels with ads every 5 minutes.

Don't you remember the apprentice style show set in Abu Dhabi - they had to "impress" Dr Al-Fahim the then CEO of Hydra Properties. I used to watch this one too....
