Its like X factor or Dancing on Ice or SCD - a risk. However, if you look at Saira, Ruth. Claire, Kate, Helen, Liz, Susan or Michelle it opens new doors, and sometimes new careers that are far more interesting and/or profitable. Even Anita who went out first has her Apprentice blog in the Telegraph and Katie got her name recognition and some TV work. Not sure if they have many male equivalents though, since Tim went on to some success and Syed had his brief reality TV career.
