I'd like to start with a testimonial which the BBC may feel free to use if they happen to be reading: “Since I switched to the Junior Apprentice, from Ireland’s version of The Apprentice, I shout at my TV a lot less”.
Yes, the young ones continued to put us to shame last night. Not only do they all seem to be brighter and more professional than our lot, they are all more entertaining as well.
The candidates were targeting over 50’s for last night’s task. If there were any over 50’s viewers watching last night I’m sure they were all thoroughly insulted within the first 5 minutes at the young candidate’s impressions of the older generation. But regardless, put them in front of product retailers and they positively beamed enthusiasm!
None of the products available were exactly clear winners but after losing the pitch for the trolleys, Haya’s team ended up going with the bird-box which was never going to be a huge seller. Harry M ended up saving the day by selling 5 of the bird-boxes but even he admitted he was quite lucky with it. Like him or not, that’s two impressive sales performances in two weeks.
Unfortunately though, my pick for the winner, Zara, didn’t manage to sell a thing in this task! I’m still sticking with my choice though, she’ll be back.
Things were looking very bad for Haya when the candidates got back to the boardroom. At the last moment, she looked like she was mentally packing her bags and Lewis looked like he was in the middle of a huge sigh of relief…….and then BANG, Alan Sugar changes his tune at the last moment and Lewis is walking out the door.
Once again, I did switch over to check out how Bill & Co were getting on and things aren’t improving much there from what I can see? Am I the only one giving up on it? Anyone really enjoying it?
Oh and apparently the name of the show has been changed to “Young Apprentice” as opposed to “Junior”. But I’m old and set in my ways…….
Here’s what the Tweeps say:

It's weird how all these kids on Junior Apprentice are my age and have made a business and achieved so much, then there's me

Young Apprentice and I'm A Celebrity are trending alongside one another, just as Nostradamus predicted.
