Apprentice UK III

So, I don't have much to say about what happened. There are few things which I think could be done in other way.However, it is the game show and I am not Sir Alan Sugar.

Instead of reporting what happened I will like to talk about what I thought about the finale.

First of all I was shocked when Sugar fired James. It just doesn't make any sense at all. However, people were saying James was there just for the TV. Despite the fact that he is the one who have won most tasks in the whole competition, he was fired. I don't know what Sir Alan sugar was cooking in his head. And I was shocked more when he fired Paul, leaving Saira and Tim as the finalist.

However, it starting to make sense when he gave the final task to both the remaining contestants. And it was evident that its too hard to teach new tricks to old dog. He asked both Saira and Tim to create an event. Which will be judged on the basis of creativity as well as the success of the event. Profit will not be "the Criteria" for this challenge. Which meant he wanted some event which doesn't have the short term profits but have long term benefits. He also want to see who listens to him as well.
So, Tim had a fashion show which was a simple and great idea and Saira had the wine tasting which is more lucrative as well as more fun. She had a great business plan but she didnt get one part and that to listen to the requirement, or say listen to Sir Alan Sugar.

She was more focused on making profit and selling the idea. Tim, on the other hand was hiring the prospective customers.

Saira made profit of 800 pounds and Tim was left with 2500 pounds in loss. But what he did is to make sure to listen to the Master. And that is the first duty or the apprentice or aspiring to be apprentice. That is why Sir Alan sugar said " you are hired" to Tim Campbell.

* if you liked it or if you hated it or if you are in the middle of like and hating please leave a comment and let me know what you feel about it*
