The UK Apprentice 2010

Last night's episode was a corker!

The task was to create a personal DVD experience for customers held in a London shopping mall, Westfields I think it was called.

Sandeesh was project manager up against Stuart Baggs - The Brand!

After much running about and changing of ideas, price, product and presentation, Stuart's team limped home by £40!

Stuart's DVD experience was a toy car being raced around Brands Hatch. Baggs even found time for a jolly by driving the real car around for the footage that was needed.

Sandeesh was in the Board Room with Liz and Chris but she could not beat them in the argument and sadly she was fired.

I am convinced unless there is a major faux pas by one of them it will be a Stella v Liz grand finale. Or Sugar may even throw a curveball and have a 3 person final.

Liz and Stella seem to be the only ones with common sense - which often means a business brain!
