The premise of the show is for Lord Sugar to find a business partner. Let me reiterate - that's Lord Sugar's job. Not mine.

I'll also point out again that this hasn't been a serious business programme in a decade. The premise may well be, but the way it is edited, the way it plays out, and for Christ sake even the way it is casted (these are nowhere near the best entrepreneurs in Britain) has all the hallmarks of an entertainment show. And do you know why? Because it is one. A primetime entertainment show on BBC One.

Except I never said that, proving just as I expected that you didn't read my post.

I said Sarah 'better not win' which does not have the same meaning as 'shouldn't win'. The latter implies she doesn't deserve to - which I've made no allusion to in any post in thread. Rather, what I've said is, I don't care who 'deserves' to win because that would require me to care about their business skills or plans. Again. I don't. Because I'm not Lord Sugar. The former - which is what I actually said - implies I would rather she not win, because it would sour the ending (not ruin!) of what I think has been a great and entertaining series. That's a personal preference based on the role (or lack thereof) she's played in this series as a character on an entertainment programme. It has nothing to do with whether I think she or anyone else 'deserves' to win. Because I don't care who actually 'deserves' to win.

Is it really now? Perhaps you need to look closer to home then

I gave up trying to look for good reasons why people should win about three years ago
