Naomi Lay: May 2008
http://naomilay.blogspot.com/2008_05_01_archive.html
Thursday, 29 May 2008. Finally Sir Alan Saw Sense. After a week of blunders, when firing Raef seemed like a good idea and letting Michael beg (again) for his right to continue his Apprentice Journey, Sir Alan has come to his senses. Michael Sophocles has had more second chances than any Apprentice candidate ever. Why? Because Sir Alan seemed to have a soft spot for him and because he excused Michael's blatant incompetence with the fact that he was young. The signs of exhaustion are clear to see now and c...

Naomi Lay: April 2008
http://naomilay.blogspot.com/2008_04_01_archive.html
Wednesday, 30 April 2008. Back patting and buck passing! OK, maybe I spoke too soon. Last week's episode was genius, we saw more self-congratulatory back patting and buck passing than the annual labour party conference. Brilliant! I loved it and I hope the series continues to be as good as this! Lee again showed integrity when sat in the greasy cafe he turned to the others and questioned why they had said Lindy was a bad project manager when none of them spoke up during the task - he's one to watch!

Naomi Lay: Two souks and you're out!
http://naomilay.blogspot.com/2008/05/two-souks-and-youre-out.html
Monday, 12 May 2008. Two souks and you're out! What a brilliant episode and a notoriously great task. We saw cameraderie and foolishness, good leadership and absolutely hilarious chicken antics - will there ever be a series where meat doesn't cause a furore? Series 2: Said orders 100 chickens for 100 pizzas, Series 3: Katie and Paul try to sell pork sausages to a halal butcher on Ramadam and Series 4: Michael and Jenny get a muslim butcher to bless and slaughter a kosher chicken! The real star of the sho...

Naomi Lay: Listen to the SAS
http://naomilay.blogspot.com/2008/05/listen-to-sas.html
Wednesday, 7 May 2008. Listen to the SAS. First rule of the boardroom is to listen to Sir Alan,if, as a Project Manager, he is leading you to bring a candidate back in with you, bring them back in - it's your best hope for survival. Unfortunately Kevin failed to do this, and the death knell rang as he brought the invincible Clare and blameless Sara back to face the music. Michael Sophocles hardly excelled as a Project Manager but thankfully a combination Kevin's fumblings allowed and a reasonable theme c...

Naomi Lay: March 2008
http://naomilay.blogspot.com/2008_03_01_archive.html
Wednesday, 26 March 2008. It's back on our screens again! Is it wrong to think that the candidates on this year's Apprentice aren't as good as those last year? Or am I slightly biased? Having just watched the first episode I was again filled with fear and anticipation but thankfully I'm in the position this year where my actions aren't being publicly scrutinised. I can now confidently shout at the TV safe in the knowledge that I could do better - well, at least until week 10! Simon is also one to watch.

Naomi Lay: Michael Sophocles slimier than seagull poo?
http://naomilay.blogspot.com/2008/05/michael-sophocles-slimier-than-seagull.html
Wednesday, 21 May 2008. Michael Sophocles slimier than seagull poo? How has he not yet been fired? Why did Sir Alan allow himself to look so daft by allowing the slimy one to beg for one more chance? So, Mr Sophocles is fed up of being a scapegoat, and the nation is fed up of Mr Sophocles - or perhaps it's just me. I think we all know he has more lives than a cat and I hope they don't carry him through to the final. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Finally Sir Alan Saw Sense. Two souks and youre out!

Naomi Lay: Spreading muck in the big smoke!
http://naomilay.blogspot.com/2008/04/spreading-muck-in-big-smoke.html
Friday, 18 April 2008. Spreading muck in the big smoke! There's nothing quite like the smell of freshly spread dung on a crisp spring morning. Something that reminds me of 7am walks to Wendron postoffice in time to catch the school bus. Not something I expect when I leave my flat in London, but this morning as I left the house I was hit by the unmistakeable smell of muck spreading. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Back patting and buck passing! Wednesday night - The Apprentice or Pub Quiz? Jenna Firth...

Naomi Lay: Wednesday night - The Apprentice or Pub Quiz?
http://naomilay.blogspot.com/2008/04/wednesday-night-apprentice-or-pub-quiz.html
Wednesday, 23 April 2008. Wednesday night - The Apprentice or Pub Quiz? Perhaps my writing this a full 7 days after the last episode of The Apprentice is an indication of just how entertained I am by this new series. Whilst watching these new candidates squabble and backstab in a highly uninspired manner, I remember with fondness Tre's potty mouth and Katie's weekly slating of a poor, unsuspecting potential Apprentice. I. So, should he have gone? Did others commit bigger crimes? Claire (although everyone...
