All TV is a fix. Most of life is a fix. It's about being in the right place at the right time and being on the promotor's wave length. Simon picks the girls with the best long legs and Louis picks has a penchant for his kind of guy. Cheryl is probably the most honest person there and shows real emotion for the contestants. But if you are annoying, or have some other baggage that's not liked, but very very talented, you might just as well pack up and go home. It's the same with all competitions: judges hate anyone who may be seen as more talented than they. The Apprentice is evidence of this. It wouldn't do for someone to come along who was actually a bit more savvy tthan Sir Alan. All the contestants are clones of the previous idiots. Still, I guess it makes good watching for us idiots who accept it as entertainment.

@KeithT - I hate to be pedantic but he's been promoted: it's Lord Sugar now!

He's very different in real life. Not a bit like the Lord Sugar on the Apprentice

I know he does a lot of charity work for Great Ormond street children's hospital.

He is a typical cockney, of which I am one of the South of the river variety myself. We cockneys do not suffer fools gladly. I'm sure his mum loves/loved him though.

I thought Lord Sugar of Peckham (I can see his smile as he came up with that title) was in fine form on The Apprentice last night. I know Joy was useless - but how did the other two not get sacked?!?!

Oops, sorry, back to XFactor

Don't think you can be off-topic in an off-topic message board! :-) Never watched the apprentice but know its supposed to be good. Reality tv is so popular , its taking over the world!

All the contestants over the past few series have been utter ****s. As a retired businessman myself I wouldn't give any of them a job sweeping up. There isn't one in this bunch that has a clue about how to manage people or run a business for that matter. They are just a bunch of droogies heading for that executive slaughter house aka the boardroom.
