So another series bites the dust with three of the finalists doing just that. There were no shocks in the order of the firings or Ricky’s victory. I had a more profound concern about the format of the show as I noticed an odd trend emerging.supra online

For the second consecutive year it has been the finalist with the most team losses that has been crowned the champion. Last year's winner, Tom Pellereau, had similar credentials, notching up a record number of losses. It begs the question, why have a set of unimaginative tasks to assess the candidates’ competencies if the results don’t matter? It makes a mockery of the process.

The Apprentice has created a problem for itself by blindly changing one element of a winning formula without thinking through the rest of its components. By bolting a Dragons Den type 'business partner' exercise onto the last stage of the old Apprentice formula, the producers have morphed the programme into a series that doesn't hang together.Supra skateboarding shoes

The business plans need to make an appearance a lot earlier in the process. How does the ability to make and sell a bottled sauce, for instance, impact on the viability of each candidate’s proposed new venture? It doesn’t.

Who is to say that the earlier casualties didn’t have more compelling business plans which are more likely to succeed? We’ll never know. I think that the producers need to take the series’s buzz word of ‘strategy’ and work out if they have really nailed a congruent strategy for the show.Kids Supra Skytop Shoes Black
