I think Karen Brady was pitching for it, as she spoke more in this week's episode than she had for the entire rest of the series !!!

Branson is far too jovial to be good on this programme!
Nah, Sugar has a few more airmiles (scuse the pun) in him yet! |

But this week episode was for Sugar's advisers to give him their opinions of the candidates overall abilities whereas in earlier episodes they were mainly reporting on the specific task.

I am sick of every show being made celebrity based.
![]() Why not a total fly on the wall type show where the public votes for top companies in the first instance, and then nominates them to be filmed in their interview techniques to find the high flying winner? ![]() ![]() Well, of course it wouldn't take off, because it would be far too 'real' with no added bits of sureality and fantasy to it. The public seem to want to be taken right out to the realms of fantasy (according to some plook faced out of uni grad at the BBC seems to think), and therefore we are forever more going to have shows like this dictated to us. |

I really do agree with this idea. The American version is so much better.
Could we have Boris Johnson recruiting for a member of his team. |

Indeed Theo would be very good but there's no denying Alan Sugar is absolutely perfect for this role and has the right level of critique and fairness especially this season. I think Alan can easily do a few more seasons.

That would be my vote as well.
to Duncan BannatyneHe's is unbearable on Dragons Den never mind magnifying that to the ultimate level of cockiness no thank you. Just as Girls Aloud have proven the Dragons Den are better as a whole than parts, as we saw with their solo shows like Tycoon it wouldn't work. So no thank you to any of the Dragons Dens but Theo and Peter would probably be best suited if needed, but they both have so much smugness it would be unbearable. |

To be honest I'm suprised, given the success of The Apprentice, that ITV haven't done there own version called something like, "So you think you can get a job" or "The CV factor"

The problem with LS is his business 'empire' doesn't have any real attraction to it and putting these people through these trials only to have them end up selling advertising for doctor's waiting rooms just seems pointless.

I watched this series but I didn't look forward to it as I used to. Would be a fantastic idea to have a new boss and a revamp. Suralun always looks for the same kind of person, just different shapes, sizes and colours.
There's still legs in the show if changes are made. Shall not watch another dullard series otherwise. |

Richard Branson already did a version in America called "The Rebel Billionaire". It was by all accounts one of the worst reality shows ever broadcast.

No way Branson! Green is impossible (in every way). Theo P for me. His series on businesses breaking into new countries was IMHO the best spin off that any dragon has done. And he does like cheesey one liners too

Simon Woodroffe. He was a right bastard in DD S1...he'd be brilliant. Lots of innovative ideas coming from his YO! company that would really make the choice of contestants be based on their talent rather than entertainment value!
