The Apprentice

Whilst in the States we caught a few episodes of a the second series of a Reality TV show called The Apprentice. 16 business people are divided into teams according to gender and perform various business related tasks (such as running a restaurant, buying and selling, negotiating) for Donald Trump, and the winning team get sent out for a top night out. The losers go to the boardroom, where they can slag each other off, and in the end the nominated project manager for that task gets to take two people back in with them, to face off with Mr Trump and in the end he tells one of them "You're fired" and they must leave. The first series of this is currently being shown on BBC2, weeknight, at 6pm. Ratboy and I are quite addicted. Checking out the BBC's website, I note they are planning a UK version of the show with Sir Alan Sugar.
