This week my favorite TV reality show ‘The Apprentice’ has come to an end. Tim has won the competition after 14 weeks of tasks with other competitors who all aimed to win the business position offered by Sir Alan Sugar’ with a six-figure salary. Thank God Saira did not win.

As Sir Alan said on the interview after the last episode, The Apprentice has provided a more light-weight way for the audience to look into what a big enterprise would expect a successful candidate to work for the organization. It is very interesting to see the clash among the candidates when they worked on the projects—it is selfish, it is dramatic, but it is very true to life. I especially enjoy watching when the lost team appears in the board room trying hard to defend for the project failure and when Sir Alan decided who he should fire.

Among all the candidates, I thought James would win as overall he is a good team player and also a good project manager. The reason why Sir Alan fired him is weird—he couldn’t see why James would want to be his apprentice, giving that James’ business worth way more than the salary offered. Maybe Sir Alan does not want James who is already a very successful entrepreneur to get to know his organization too much?
