We didn’t make it to the World Cup, but we do have a candidate in The Apprentice. This year’s chicken nuggets of wisdom included: “I’m the James Bond of the business world”; “I’m the Kim Kardashian of the business world”; “I will bite and I will sting”; and “I’m a disruptor”.

Marnie and Victoria both believed Emma should be fired, and Lord Sugar seemed to agree. After a heated chat, Lord Sugar had to decide who would leave the process. Meanwhile, the women tried to boost profits by selling pictures taken on the beach and handmade ceramics. The men managed to sell all 16, but the women only placed 12 after struggling to find prospective buyers at Pigeon's Point Beach. As usual, the group generating the most profits would win. Related:

From a safari guide channelling James Bond to a 'disgustingly competitive' account executive, will we grow to love this year's contestants?

The candidates just trot out the same tired slogans and wear the same Karen Millen frocks, and it’s hard to care about any of them. Joe, according to the internet, is a safari guide from the University of Exeter with a fledgling business selling environmentally friendly lip balm. “I’m the James Bond of the business world,” says Joe, one of the candidates on The Apprentice (BBC One).

In the first episode, the 18 candidates jetted off to Antigua to create and sell excursions to tourists.

Both teams bicker, but the “girls” – women well into their twenties and beyond – much more so than the boys. In an act of rare kindness, Sugar sends the wannabes off to lovely Antigua where they are charged with setting up a couple of tourist guide businesses – historical monuments, rum tasting, dancing, that sort of thing. Nor am I entirely convinced of the originality of Rochelle Anthony’s aim to be “the Kim Kardashian of the business world”, glam as she is. Thus, I’m not entirely sure that even someone as galactically vain as Joseph Phillips could spontaneously claim to be “the James Bond of business”, which would actually mean he murders his competitors, shags their wives and has an ejector seat fitted to his Passat. It’s a battle they are winning, even though I suspect that there was a little bit of coaching required to make the young wannabes sound as ludicrous as they do. To keep the viewers still interested, they have to make the contestants more and more grotesque, and stretch that chasm between their self-perception and reality ever wider.

He added: "I deserve Lord Sugar’s investment because I’ve got the experience and the vision to push my business forward and make it a resounding success.
