Added to last week's interview where she admitted to lying on her CV. Was she on valium when SAS gave his spiel about "I don't like liars, I don't like bullshitters..."?

Karren Brady, the chief executive of Birmingham City Football Club, is to take over from Margaret Mountford as an adviser to Lord Sugar on The Apprentice.
Ms Mountford quit at the end of the last series to pursue studies.
A spokeswoman for production company talkbackTHAMES said that 40-year-old Ms Brady - called in some quarters 'The First Lady of Football' - would take over as an adviser for the sixth series.
"Lord Sugar has decided to appoint Karren Brady, who has appeared in The Apprentice before," she said.
Ms Brady will accompany public relations executive Nick Hewer in monitoring candidates during their tasks.
In March 2006 she was chosen as team leader on a version of the BBC show for Comic Relief, where she led her team to victory over the boys' team, raising more than £750,000 for charity.

Anyone watching the BBC4 version of the Apprentice called "Design for Life" with Philippe Starck as the Sir Alan? It's pretty good, despite 50% of it being shots of people walking in and out of train stations, talking about how much they want this opportunity etc etboringc.
Contrary to Apprentice form, though, the most irritating little shit got booted off in the first week. There are plenty left, mind..Philippe Starck is pleasingly French & crazy.

also if you're in shepherd's bush, the majority of the footfall is on the bit between the central line station and westfield, not the green (site of 1908 world cup football, alleged plague pit)

Whichever team seems to be doing really well on the show, that's the losing team.
Anyway, for all that the losing team captain was all "I'm clearly safe, I made the majority of the sales and got "well done" " smugness, I don't recall ever having a situation where she clearly brought in candidates that she'd quite like to get rid of, as opposed to 'least contributors' etc, to the extreme where AlSug refuses and brings everyone back in...

Everyone this year is useless. Most baffled by any love for Jackie, who is a cartoon version of a 'strong businesswoman' she read about once in Closer.
Most illuminating was just how selectively edited they were last night to make them look good. The sing-along to Summer Nights that was shown on You're Fired was absolutely horrible.

i could see the colourful art setting off the black boxes of the hi-fi stuff, i don't think that was a bad decision, other than they couldn't read the bloke's mind.

This weeks' prize (OK last week now) was a "private cinema viewing"
Basically, a tent fastened onto a bandstand in a random park someplace, and the movie was Roger Corman's "Little Shop of Horrors" from 1961.
Basically, this movie was made as a bet, to film and produce a movie in one day. Jack Nicholson is in it. The budget is low, even by Corman standards (and he was notorious for low budget movies).
I wonder if the winning team got the message?

Remember the guy who couldn't stop mentioning that he'd been to Sandhurst? Or at least had been accepted to Sandhurst. Practically every idea he had was 'sex sells'. Even when he was on one of the two finalist's teams he said something like "let's go down a sexual route" regarding - coincidentally - a box of luxury chocolates.
