I can finally appreciate shows like The Apprentice now. There’s just something about the human nature that makes us rub our hands in glee when the strong and the smooth cracks under pressure. Or maybe it is just me *cackles madly*.

To give you a very brief run-down, for the past few months I have been involved in the planning and the implementation of a competition very similar to The Apprentice (minus Donald Trump). The amount of young and talented individuals I have met in the past 2 weeks is absolutely sickening. In fact there’s one that is just perfect; cool under pressure, polite, approachable and knows when to back down and when to take action. Normally I’d admire and consider him to be awesome, but as it is all I can think about is him cracking under the pressure of the next few days and reminding myself to bring pop corn. It is just fascinating when they do inevitably crack under the pressure of performing at their peak without a break for 4 days straight, and being grilled on a nightly basis by judges who are evil.

As it is, one team have already done something that was morally wrong (though legally they were sound), another team have unanimously kicked a member off and lost one other for personal reasons. Accusations of cheating and copying content have been flying right and left, and all I can think about is; this is so fun.

Now I head back to work.
