For me The Apprentice series final with the interviews by the Sugar's chosen few was great. The orchestrated character assassinations where typos of self adorning cliches sparks a verbal slap in the face. Its like watching kick boxing in slow motion.
And the best of it all is the "Praise Lord Sugar the Almighty" I hear from the chorus of the contestants. They seem to have a respect for him as if he were a deity. The show has dolled him up in do many ways to show this, the ghostly hand reaching through the glass doors to the boardroom, the pan of portrait shot with a lion's growl or even the "Yes, Lord Sugar," said in unison by his loyal subjects. Having said that I'm sure that in real life he isn't the dragon he is perceived to be.
What else I find great is the disapproving glances from Karen and Nick, their facial expressions and gestures provide an overrunning commentary, and from this I have learnt that sometimes when I feel a little unsure of something I have done, I can see a pan out onto Nick, his eyebrows furrowed and lips pursed.
But how could I discuss my highlights without including Sunday's winner, Tom? I thought that even though he didn't seem able to sell nor organise people, he was quite talented at inventing the leading concept or the unique selling point. Even though the others seemed to have commendable attributes, the good guy won.
