Haha, I did raise my eyebrow at that reward. Rather...interesting choice.

I'd love to have known what some of the female candidates said about it behind closed doors...

It looked like they were in there at 10am in the morning given how mad busy it was

I was sitting there speechless, it has to be the second oddest prize ever coming second to the time the prize was a class on laughing (or did I dream that It may have been Irish Apprentice)
A prize on The American Apprentice (series 6, ep2) was a pool party at the Playboy Mansion with Huge Hefner and his several current girlfriends and a bunch of Playboy Playmates. Amazing. This is what we're supposed to emulate now?

What on earth are people upset by, it's a mainstream West End club/restaurant that has a circus theme and thus has circus-costumed acrobats and dancers too. If I remember rightly it opened around the time that this series of The Apprentice was filmed which will be why they invited them to have a prize there, all free publicity.

As far as I know it's not a strip club or a lap dance place, think people are trying far too hard to see something that just isn't there.

Beginning to wonder if I've stepped into Digital Prude though

Well everyone's entitled to their opinion but it seemed an odd place to send the candidates; their faces said it all so they must agree. Even leaving aside the prudish or not issue, it was just a crap reward that ruined a good night out eating/drinking although they have all been rubbish this year thus far. Also leotards are a bit difficult to get away with unless you're a teenage gymnast.

Whoa there.

I never said it was the same thing as a strip club or lap dance club - but with the personalised performance right above their heads, it was clearly something that could be construed as being a tad risqué (my girlfriend even commented 'I bet the boys are loving that!' when she saw it with me - perhaps because of what the performers were wearing?).

It's no big deal, but it seems some of the female candidates were thinking along similar lines going on the looks on their faces.

Let's just say that particular reward was...er...far more rewarding for the boys than the girls.

Does anyone know the name of the restaurant the winners went to last night? I mean the one with the circus ladies. Looks like a great place to treat some clients.
Its Circus London and its rubbish, it depends who your clients are, but unless they are in a similar business and sewer to Richard Desmond I'd rethink.

I'm not upset, but I've been and it was not good, very overpriced, poor quality food and the acts were too sleazy and not good enough for a mainstream bar IMO.
I'm not a prude, I think its insulting to FMs for you to state that, its rubbish for the price, a big gimmicky bit of crap. London is full of that sort of stuff.

How about the 'prize' of listening to Myleene Klass playing the piano
