The Apprentice Week 7 – who was a pretty boy then?

Tweet The Apprentice Week 7 – who was a pretty boy then? Pretty men don’t like plain women. The reason is psychological not aesthetic.

The Apprentice Week 6 – Sralan…you`re fired!

Tweet The Apprentice Week 6 – Sralan…you`re fired! I’m not kidding.

TV – The Apprentice – I think big – therefore I am, the big I-am

Tweet Against my will and better judgement I started watching this very popular, very strange programme – and got hooked – for the worst of reasons.
