The Apprentice 2014.......................
Discussion
I'm curious, those plastic skeletons, do they come assembled or is there some assembly required?
I imagine if you were to order one online it doesn't come complete, likewise, places that sell them probably don't keep them hung up on a rack so what would his reaction have been if they'd bought one new and it came boxed up?

Anyone managed to find a cheap real human bone skeleton? Best I can find is $4,000. There seems to be quite a few laws around the world concerning the resale of human remains though.
Going on price and availability they would never have bought a real bone skeleton, so it would always have been fake, plastic, cardboard or paper. Any of which should have been allowed.

I really thought that this was the last one...but here is a tweet from Lord Sugar an hour ago.
"If you want to be on next year apprentice and get a chance to win £250k biz investment apply now http://www.bbc.co.uk/apprentice "

- We've just watched it and it was a joke this week.
Clearly the far better team lost.
Penalising the team for having too long a rope is like penalising them for having the oil in a bottle or the chicken in celophane. It was simply a 1m length of rope which had some rope attached on either end. What a ridiculous decision.
On any other week Sir Alan would have praised them for thinking outside the box and being shrewd. The skeleton in a packet was exactly what he asked for. What was the problem. His description was lacking. You can't blame the team.
Yes, the sink the other team bought was sub-standard!
A complete joke. The programme has lost any credibility. It's so inconsistent.
If I'd have been on that losing team I'd have sais to Lord A ... "Stuff you. I'm off. I couldn't work with you. You're too arrogant and inconsistent."

I was certainly hoping Filipe and the Cockney Geezer were going to go all guns blazing at Lord Suggs. Instead they went out with a whimper. 
Yesterday's programme was pretty indicative of how the Apprentice is turning from an actual business-oriented show into something akin to cheap reality TV s
t that people with lower IQs than shoe sizes clap for. I thought it was absolutely ridiculous how, given the task of sourcing nondescript items, Felipe read between the lines and in a costing task, did a pretty good job of doing what he was asked for the lowest price.
In business, would I be pissed off with him? Yes, I would. But considering that he doesn't technially work for Sir Lord Sugar, he's almost a subcontractor. A decent businessman tells their subbies exactly what they want with no wiggle room. If I'd have asked someone to go and buy a load of junk I'd have at least tied them down to some sort of restrictions - i.e. an actual assembled skeleton or 0.9-1.1m of rope. To piss and moan when someone takes the initiative to follow the rules by the letter is probably why Amstrad ended up a rather quiet company. Businesses and individuals always want one up on other people, to throw a paddy and apply stupid fines is not the way to conduct business. Which is probably also why Sir Lord has gone from actual business into becoming a TV persona.

Am I remembering correctly, but when they did this task last year (didn't they go to Dubai?) didn't the 'Oud' turn out to be a guitar whereas the other team bought a scent (and got it wrong)?
It was the Oud instrument in Dubai (asked specifically for Mahogany) the one this week asked for Oud Oil.I always wondered what they were drinking
