The Uk Apprentice Juniors Show what they can do
The teenage participants of Young Apprentice from the BBC program have pulled off a few feats this series that the adult stars would battle to emulate, working their wide-eyed charms to squeeze prices and catch reluctant customers. But it is hard to imagine Lord Sugar’s world wide web ban, imposed in the course of tonight's customary haggling episode, causing such a flap among their more veteran counterparts.
Charged with buying a collection of ten items with which to style Madame Tussauds’s new waxwork celebrities, the young hopefuls were all at sea in a world with no Google Maps, eBay or any other of the hi-tech tools they’ve never known a world without. God help them!
“I banned the internet, and I know for a lot of you that was like cutting off oxygen”, Lord Sugar noted. Only such a state of delirium could explain one group driving 2 hours across London to purchase a solid gold pocket-watch while their personal rivals joyfully purchased a cheap knock-off from the pawn shop not far away which was ingenious.
Several debates emerged in the boardroom over who’d had the brainwave of phoning a library to find out what on earth a “dashiki” might be, although the poor librarian dispatched off to verify through her own reference section ought to have been wondering why they couldn’t glance at one of those obsolete dictionary things themselves. What is a dictionary anyway?
In the mean time the curse of being on tousle-haired toff Harry Maxwell’s group struck yet again, as the far-too-nice Hayley embarked on politely thanking Sugar for the amazing experience almost before his finger had jabbed in her direction.
In fairness to her, Hayley did launch a last-gasp counter-attack on Harry, observing that his ability to induce whichever team he finds himself on to lose, usually heavily, was at the very least a bit worrying. Harry was indignant: “Hayley, that is an unfair comment. I know I have lost every task, but…” etc etc
There seems to be a common consensus that Harry is surviving only because of the sincere, heartfelt and wonderfully amusing level of contempt in which the remainder of the cast hold him. This can only make great television. Lord Sugar never misses a trick!
I even have to disagree – he’s pulled off some amazing deals in the series to date, and anyone who can tell a warehouse owner he needs a long strip of Oscars-style red carpet for a small family occasion and still get a hundred pound discount deserves to progress. The guy is an absolute genius - we just don't know it yet.
Nonetheless, it was rather amusing when, thinking he was succeeding in deflecting everyone’s disgust onto the domineering Zara, the other Harry suddenly turned on him: “I’d have brought you back since you were the weakest individual here.” His recognisable jaw-dropped all of a sudden and he was most hurt by the mauling.
Evidently he’s not the weakest of the group, at the very least for now, one imagines he’s rather enjoying all the attention. He’ll undoubtedly enjoy Googling himself once it’s all over. But who will be the winner of this series? Do you have the talent to spot the winning person from this group? Leave your comments below.
