Might end up talking to myself here, but it's fixed surely isn't it?
The one thing that has always struck me is that you can be a bit crap, but if you keep ending up in the winning team you are not going to get fired.
Sugar always says when he gets down to the final 5 that they are the best 5 candidates. That surely is untrue.
Take this year for instance. We are now down to 7 candidates left. Next week are the interviews and that's the final 5. That means 2 have to go this week. The rules of Alan Sugar dictate that only people from the losing team get sacked. Tomorrow there could be slightly less strong candidates involved, but they would go through to the final 5 if their team wins.
He can manipulate the teams a little, but unless it is fixed, he cannot know which team will win and which will lose. Can hardly ever remember thinking the wrong team won over the years.
There are 7 left now this year, so one team of 4 and one team of 3. If the team of 3 lose, 2 of those 3 will be fired. Unless he manipulates the teams and then ensures 'his' team wins he has no control of who ends up in the boardroom and could well have to fire better candidates than are on the opposition team.
The best 5 left? It does usually pretty much seem to be the best 5 left, so it has to be fixed then surely.
The other question I wanted to ask is, have I got too much time on my hands?
