My idea of HELL.
A handful of wannabes on their own in some poxy little bar?
No atmosphere. No fun.

If that's Lordalan's idea of a good night out (you have to suspect it's NOT) then he's more boring than I thought.

In fact, he's a sadist. How cruel was he? He must hate those 3 ladies - condemning them to spending time with Christopher...

I remember in an earlier series the "winners" had the pleasure of listening to Mylene Klass playing the piano! As my husband said at the time: "I thought they won the task..."

Some of the "prizes" the winning teams get are well dodgy - compare them to what the winning teams get on The US Apprentice with Donald Trump and they are definitely hard done by.

I remember on one programme of the US Apprentice the winners got to go to a top class jewellery store and pick out $10,000 worth of jewellery EACH Now that's what you call a prize!

I was stunned as well. I absolutely detest Karaoke and I would have pitchforked manure rather than participate, and did anyone else think the venue looked absolutely deserted and that they were the only ones partying?

They totally were the only ones there. It was probably 2.30pm on a wet Wednesday in Willesden. Bad, bad Lordalan. Naughty man.

Mind you, they deserved no better.
Myleene Klass! What would that woman not do to get on the box?

They deserved it, they did not win the task, they just didn't do as badly as the other team.

Can't agree they deserved anything good. Their campaign was only marginally less cr@p than the Germ-Team.

Then again I saw one where the prize was dinner with the Trump equivelant of Nick Hewer.
Of course the apprentices were all such suck-ups that they claimed it was the best reward ever as they could gain insight into how he thought

OMG, dinner with Nick. Only a tad less grey than John Major.

At least it wasn't Trump's Margaret equivalent, Carolyn. What an ice-cold, teeth-and-buttock clenched wench. *shudders*

Dunno - maybe they would get a look at those naughty videos referred to by Alan Sugar!

I wonder how far in advance the rewards are set up...
because it really seemed to me that, given that we're like 5-6 weeks in, this reward was really poor... seems like at the last minute sugar said, 'hey wait, they don't deserve a good prize, let's give them something humiliating and crap!'

That's exactly what I thought too.

I was hoping a 'private kareoke session' was going to be lending them an old AMSTRAD ghetto blaster, with one of the tape drives bust, and a C-90 3rd generation copy tape of "Now That's What I Call Music - 6 !"

That's what I call a party!
How lame have the treats been though?
These are the favours Big Al calls in. Some woman with a snake. Oh, joy. A whole tenner to spend at the races. Marvellous. Pretty pants IMHO.

Did they wear shoes, or is that only in Manchester bars & clubs?
