The Apprentice: JJB - Jadine Johnson Begone

In tonight's The Apprentice, Jadine Johnson was fired for missing her daughter and going AWOL for a couple of hours. I thought that was a harsh decision especially as Simon Ambrose, the PM, gave Lohit Kalburgi a poor list of leads to phone for appointments. Many of the numbers were wrong or were for garden centres. He also chose badly, with the electric shock torture device / air filter being hard to sell.

Jadine joins Ifti Chaudri as the 2nd ethnic minority candidate to go because their missed their children. What does it say about ethnic minorities and their devotion to their kids versus the relentless devotion to business that Alan Sugar is looking for.

She looked a more relaxed & beautiful in "You've been fired" as did Adam Hosker, last week, on BBC2 after the main event. You can see how the fired candidates are exhausted & stressed during the challenges. Perhaps being fired and getting away from the pressure is what they needed & wanted.

On the BBC website, both Katie Hopkins & Kristina Grimes are both described as single mothers. Is this going to be an issue that eliminates them? Interestingly, the men who are left are not listed as single or married fathers.

On "You've been fired", there was speculation that Katie is trying to be The Apprentice but her contreversial remarks to camera are a launchpad for a media career. With her being so quotable, she looks set for comfy sofa chats, glossy magazine interviews and perhaps her own tabloid column or cable TV programme, followed by a 6 figure book deal.
