Well it had to happen. Noorul Choudhury was fired last night from The Apprentice episode 6.

After a couple of weeks under performing, he got the boot last night.

The task was actually a spin of one of my favourite tasks. In previous series, the candidates had been required to source and buy as cheaply as possible a series of random items ranging from a goldfish bowl to a tyre for a high performance sports car.

In this task though, the task was to sell a series of random items ranging from a poster of footballer, a cheap mountain bike right through to an original James Bond novel and persian rug.

Of course some of the items were junk and there were several “gems” in the pack.

Of course this task would favour those who maybe stop and think a little before diving in to sell with all guns blazing. (Like err.. Philip)

Can’t help feeling though that these sort of tasks are somehow contrived in the scoring system at the end.

In this case it was value of the things sold OVER the valuation (by who?) take away the value of things sold UNDER valuation to give (in both cases) a loss.

Can’t help feeling also that walking up to a complete stranger in the street who wants to buy a rug regardless of colour is a bit of a set up also…

Oh, and I also predicted that Suralan would mix the teams up after last weeks one sided event.

As for Noorul, it seems that he confirms my view about editing.

And Ben, he continues to be portrayed as a serial bully. He just continues to throw his weight around but when it comes down to it he “didn’t know” what James had been doing on the task and I am sure that he twice called Suralan just “Sir” in the style of a naughty school boy.

Surprised he didn’t fire both of them…
