SUN, SEA, SAND & SICKNESS…
ANOTHER WEEK another episode in the UK of the latest series of The Apprentice. A Thursday night treat full of ohs, ahs and a generous dose of cringing.
The challenge for the teams this week began when it was announced that one candidate, Reece, the performing arts person from Scotland, had stepped away from the series due to unforeseen circumstances so the teams really were a ‘man down’.
On the horizon was a trip to Dubai where they had to come up with an ‘experience’ for two business teams who wanted to be thrilled in return for a dollop of dirham (Dubai currency). These teams were able to take part in a day-long experience and if they were not happy they could ask for a partial refund of their investment.
Victoria, who apparently had experience of working in Dubai, was made project manager for Team Apex and there was a scrabble between Rochelle and Avi for the lead role on Affinity. Rochelle won that little skirmish — she may have wished she had not…
Victoria went straight for luxury with jet bikes, talk of yachts, luxury food and visions of caviar and oysters. She thought they could persuade their corporate client to part with more than 3,000 dirham each (about £680 each). Sadly though, inspite of her luxury vision, they were beaten down to 1,600 dirham each (£361).
