The Apprentice episode 6: winner's verdict Lord Sugar seemingly gave my star man Mark a bit of a grilling in the boardroom this week. I use the word "seemingly," because I don't really think he was grilling him at all but inviting him to be project manager - I still think Lord Sugar likes him. The task was a good one: the candidates had to make and sell a board game. The "relationship" board game that team Tenacity developed was poor, and that idea came from Mark. But he sold brilliantly. If it hadn't been for him I don't think they'd have made any sales at all. If I had to pick two candidates for the final, it would be Mark and Roisin. Roisin had absolutely everything to do with team Summit's win. She was strong and came up with the brilliant idea for a game. Daniel got away with it this week. The questions he came up with for their game, The Relationship Guru, were ridiculous. Daniel owns a company running pub quizzes! He could have been coming out with cryptic questions, good questions, and he messed it up. Lord Sugar feels he's got fire in his belly, but I think he's the sort of person you could try to mentor and your words would go in one ear and out the other. I don't think Daniel will progress further than week eight. The next time he's leading a task, I think he'll go. We got to see a different side to our courtroom jester, James. He was the winning project manager and he did sell well. He wasn't larking about this episode. I thought the way he spoke to Bianca was patronising, though. Next week will be critical for him. If he does nothing more than ride on the back of his success this week he won't be in the process much longer. And as for James being half naked at the start of the episode, that is all part of his "I want to be on TV" malarkey. We don't care if he has a six-pack or man boobs, we want people who are good at business. Based on who was responsible for the failure of the task, Pamela deserved to go. She didn't listen to the focus group or sell anything. The failure of the task was down to the concept and the sales, and as project manager, Pamela was responsible for both. That said, Daniel and Lauren were weak. Lauren is professional, but she doesn't offer anything else. I think Daniel might go next week. I think Bianca's card will also be marked from now on. It's an unwritten rule in The Apprentice that you do not offer exclusivity, which she did. It's something Lord Sugar hates.
