Would Alan Sugar really hire Claire if it's true she's been trying to get on BB?

This was reported on here about a month back.

http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/realityt...-audition.html

Obviously it may not be true as it's just a report in The Daily Star, but wouldn't this be an issue if it's uncovered to be true?

I'm remembering the scenes at the end of last year's Apprentice where Katie Hopkins had been found out to not be taking the role seriously.

If it is true how could Alan Sugar hire her?
This would surely severely handicap her chances of winning wouldn't it?
In this situation wouldn't Lucinda have been a lesser risk, what with the perception that she might just flit in and out of the job if the mood should take her?

As I say, we don't know if it's true or not yet.
But I wouldn't be surprised that if it is we may get a scene similar to Katie Hopkins last year when it all comes out.
You would think that as soon as he got wind of it he'd at least ask her about it though wouldn't you?

Remember in the next week's show trailer Alan Sugar's final comment is
Spoiler


So it does imply that Alan Sugar has got something seriously wrong about one of the contestants this year and got the wrong impression about one of them.
Could this be what he was talking about?

Mind you it also has to be said that his final comment there could also have been said in a positive context.
But I just got the feeling that when he said it, one of the candidates had gone from hero to zero.

I also read in one of the other Sunday tabloids about Claire and her efforts to get on Big Brother. She has also been recently gossiping with other holidaymakers in Majorca about some of the stuff that happened on The Apprentice that viewers didnt get to see and has posed for pictures which show her with a new curly hairstyle . I would have thought that she would be keeping a much lower profile if she had made the final 2.

Yes, I don't know if there any implications behind the fact that Heat Magazine apparently
Spoiler


But if this Big Brother thing is true, and that Claire and Lee are the winning team next week, then Sir Alan's hands would be tied and I don't think he'd have any other option other than to hire Lee.

Mind you it'd be quite funny if he hired Claire and then found out about it afterwards.

There's no indication on when she applied and as far as I know its not a criminal offence. I doubt if any of them have been focusing 24/7 on their business careers since leaving school and its should be essentially about who is capable of doing the job - which is a depressingly short list of one.

I don't thin k its been reported thatshe tried to get on BB this year, its more likely the 3 years were a while ago, probably nearer her 18-30 rep days.

Whilst I don't see an issue, in principle, with Claire having tried, in the past, to get on Big Brother (if, indeed, the stories are true), I think this poses a serious question about her motivation.

Did she enter "The Apprentice" because she wants to work for Sir Alan more than anything else in the whole wide world ........ or because she wants to win a tv reality show?

I hope Siralan does hire Claire so we don't have to suffer her on I'm a Celebrity Get me Out of Here. She only wants the minor celebrity status not a 9 to 5 at Amstrad.

I never said it was. But to Alan Sugar it would be.

He's said many times before that he doesn't want people there who are just trying to get a foot in the door to a media career.
He already fired Lucinda due to him having doubts about her commitment.

The girl is really familiar to me. I'm sure she has done a reality show before - maybe something to do with Reps? I would love for someone to dig it out!

I think that trailer isn't for the final but for the special show about his firings during this series.

The reason anyone goes on these things is for fame as Lucinda proved last night. She never wanted the job, just the exposure. Claire and co are no different and I guess SAS knows that too.

I don't think Sir Alan would be to bothered that she has tried to apply for a reality show, seeing as The Apprentice is one as well!

I've seen it denied by a poster who seemed to know Claire well (possibly Claire herself, or her mother). I don't give the report much credence. Claire wasn't popular early in the series and this became another stick to beat her with.

When Claire does her pieces to camera, she reminds me of David Brent.

Paul Tulip got the boot because Sugar thought he just wanted to be famous.

I think she is in the apprentice for the wrong reasons. I do think she is in it for the fame but she does seem quite able and I do think that she would be good at the job but if she applied for big brother that suggests that she may be more interested in the media coverage than settling down and working for Sir Alan.
