The Apprentice ep5 – a lesson in getting your hands dirty

During tonight’s episode, Kimberley got the chop and rightly so (despite my dislike of Lorraine’s bulldog chewing a wasp face).
Kimberley, the self defined marketing expert ridiculously denied posessing either any creative talent or presentation skills tonight.

The lesson? Managers need to get their hands dirty and if you sell yourself as an expert, you better be prepared to deliver come crunch time.

dead set on shaking up reality telly

Rebecca McMichael — Mon, 13 Oct 2008 16:00:49 +0000

Finally, a chance to indulge my love of Charlie Brooker and zombie horror combined with my annoyance of Big Brother. Dead Set is a new five part series on E4, starting at the end of October and I reckon it’ll be one to watch. Endemol are making it thus benefiting from both the up and down of the reality TV genre.

If all else fails, you might get to see Davina “permagrin” McCall get her guts ripped out so can’t be bad really.

Trailer below, courtesy of E4 site.
