BBC TV's annual dose of testosterone fuelled argumentative Lord Sugar wannabe's is well under way as I write, and every year I groan when it comes on but it's like watching car crash TV. I'm hooked..yet again..!

Is it just me..? I've bumped into Lord S in a previous life, and he's an odd character. Part quietly charming, part arse I think, but it's the behaviour of all those the series attracts that I find fascinating.

For instance why, when the morning phone call comes in, does it only give them 20 minutes to get ready when clearly it takes them a darn sight longer to slap up and get the power dressing going..? And when do they have breakfast..? I need to know..

What's with all the raging arguing on the ladies team this time..? And how can some of them put on such terrible performances and still get through..?

In this new world of enlightenment, why is the secretary outside the boardroom always a woman too..? I need to know that, as well..

For an hours 'blobbing' TV, it's great..! I wouldn't pay any of them in washers, though.

I'd pay them in old nails.... I have plenty and no longer any use for them.

Steve,

Just like you, I am hooked on this rubbish. It's that bad that, having been away for 3 weeks I had to watch the missing episodes on catch up.
Out of a rough old bunch, I'm voting for the pretty blond girl, now there's a surprise!!


Here for a good time not a long time!!

Most of the contestants seem to be the sort of people you'd go out of your way to avoid

Is Mr. Sugar really an amazing business man or did he make a fortune out of property?

This article from a while ago explains how it’s all made

The silliest bit is that a researcher has to go ahead of all the candidates to ask people and shops if they have their permission to film

I find myself watching it although i am not a fan of all the in fighting. I am convinced the producers encourage it. One minute they are attacking each other, next they are all having a good time back at the house.
