The Apprentice Howard fired

At this point in the Apprentice every year, you can almost see Suralan finds it harder and harder to fire people.

A perfectly respectable candidate like Howard went and you see the difficulty Suralan had.

The task was the classic shopping channel task with teams of 3 having to source and sell products on live shopping TV.

Almost set up to manufacture disputes, each team was split into a pair and a single person to source products for the other team member to sell (without them seeing them until the night before).

Deborah, Yasmina and James went for lower priced items (cheap!) – the sort of products that are only found on shopping channels.

Where else would you find an attractive young woman dressed in full finery saying it is “great” and “really good fun” to go out and pick up leaves with a long err.. leaf collecting thing?

Howard, Kate and Lorraine went for the higher priced items including an a low fat chip pan that should have really sold itself and an awful “leafy” leather jacket (similar to the wolf jacket in style) from a few years back.

Thankfully, the edit only showed minimal clips of the actual presenting.

Suralan put it down to bad selling and saw Howard as a “steady eddie” and so he went.

Hard not to feel sorry for Howard, (I think) it was his first time in the final 3 and I agree with the apprentice blog that perhaps Lorraine has been riding her luck for a couple of weeks now.

Next week – more cringe fest with the interviews with Suralans most trusted men…
