I actually really enjoyed last night's episode. I've felt like for years The Apprentice has slid away from serious business ventures and towards silly, laugh-at-idiots entertainment, but that last night was a bit of a return to form.
I was getting a bit tired of producers rewarding TV-entertainment stupidity in previous episodes (and seasons), like offering 50p for an item marketed at £30. And there didn't seem to be any real consequences for it, like sellers in the item-finding challenge having the ability to go 'that's disrespectful, I'm not selling to you' - like they would in real life over that. It paid for smart candidates to be TV-memorable, loud, and bolshy, even if in the real world it would get them nowhere.
But last night, they actually rewarded a more 'boring' but workable and likeable design and rightly criticised something ridiculously unwearable. I was glad to see it for once. I hope next week we see some viable business plans that we could actually get behind, as well as a bit of entertainment.
