In a highly dramatic conclusion to the penultimate episode of The Apprentice this evening, the Ice Queen (Katie) conceded her place in the final as she couldn't be sure of her commitment to Sir Alan. This soft underbelly of the most ruthless candidate ever to appear on the show was expertly unveiled by the great man himself and his associates during an interview process which all five of the final candidates endured. Poor old Lohit didn't stand a cat in hells chance of getting through...
Interviewer: 'Are you a nice person?'
Lohit: "Yeees"
Interviewer: '...they'll cut your f*cking legs off to make a few quid'
Lohit: ...
Christina did extremely well and deservedly made it through to the final two. Unfortunately, as I suspected, Tre couldn't find that little bit of humility when he really needed it and was exposed just before the final hurdle.
Apart from a rather disparaging e-mail from one of Simon's current tenants (which was hilarious) his mix of boyish charm, solid academic background and sense of fun propelled him into the final also.
It's impossible to pick a winner, so I'm just going to watch and enjoy it next week with some very cold beer...
