BBC TV's Apprentice continues to throw up some sick shocks, Guru notes. Otherwise how could the sweet-tempered purveyor of persuasive put-downs that is Peruvian-Oz-Yank Sugar-wannabe Paloma Vivanco lose out to useless tub of... um... tubster tosh that is Alex Epstein and loitering do-nothing, eyes-painted-on-the-back-of-her-eyelids bluffer Sandeesh Samra.
Yours Truly smells the dead hand of ratings chasing here. Although, giving it much deep psychologial analysis, he can see why a tall, attractive (but admittedly snake-like) South
American wouldn't 'fit in' with a less-than-well-endowed-in-the-seeing-over-the-fence-sense potential boss.
Having trounced ITV's coverage of the soccerball game the other week, the Apprentice surely peaked and the only way is down.
Of course, the very idea that anyone chooses a candidate purely on the basis of being short - of viewers, that is - or standing on a few redundant boxes of video phones to peep over the parapet and see the TV audience retreating back into the forest, would be preposterous.
