Live Blog: Apprentice S04E05

by elfinamsterdam on April 22nd, 2009

So last week we said goodbye to the lovely Paula Jones in the scandal-wood disaster!

She wasn’t the hottest at the aul counting, but she goes away, not exactly smelling of Roses, but Sandalwood!
Confusing the price of Ceder and Sandal wood scents up, the team ended up spending £700 on scents alone, oh noes!!
Never fear, she got a promotion on returning to her old job, and is entering the blogosphere with a blog about her new shop “A Few of My Favorite Things” – will link as soon as I get one! :)
Check out this interview for more!

I have to say I was gutted that they lost, even though with the ceder wood/sandal wood mix up it was obvious they would lose.
Their product was lovely and really well presented and was something that people would buy, the other product, honey soap, was a total mess.
It was funny to see them film in Lush HQ, one of my favorite chains in the world. :)

So we have another week with Ben of “I got a scholarship to Sandhurst y’know” fame  – this boy really bugs the hell out of me. Especially since he boasts about something he never did anything with, so you got a scholarship, but you didn’t go!
While my disdain of  Ben grows, James admitted beginning to warm, nay beginning to love Ben, perhaps this is the start of the long feted romance in this season??
My favorite moments from last weeks ep:

James’ fear of the little crabs on the rocks as they went to find seaweed for the soap, he was dancing around like a prima ballerina! Wuss!

And Narools team accosting people coming out of the tube station to buy their squidgy honey soap, all the while wearing what looked like BioHazzard suits – uh-hu, and people will stop to talk to you wearing that??

Quotes of the Week  -

James on Kim

“She’s as dumb as a doorknob”

And Paula on Debra

“Shes like Sydney Harbor Bridge. Just when she finished putting on cream she has to start again”

“Debra’s 6ft 7 with her mouth open”

So on to this weeks fun! Its a Cereal Affair, and just to to whet your

Apprentice Appetite

The Mirror’s Headline -
Candidates viciously turn on each other over breakfast cereal character task

The Telegraphs Column by Margaret Mountford -

Philip, it turns out, has an obsession with pants– even when he’s talking about breakfast cereal….. [but its]… Poor Noorul, all dressed up in Ignite’s superhero costume, ends up sitting on a table in the garage of a suburban house waiting for the filming of their commercial to start – with his little matchstick legs swinging disconsolately underneath. Perhaps he thought the whole thing was a bit pants.

Yes we will be live blogging it (see below) in conjunction with Culch.ie

Come back just before 9pm (GMT) and have your say who is a Cereal Killer and who’s just Toast!!
