Apprentice? Not in this world

So here in Brussels we get two channels of BBC, one of which has this obnoxious program called "The Apprentice." I think it was modeled after a US show with Donald Trump? I didn't watch it in the US and I know why, if it was anything like the program here.

Truly, this is amazingly bad. In case you've missed it (wish I had) it features a group of soulless young vicious job aspirants who team up to win a fairly stupid competition, then are expected to turn and savage their former team members until the Boss (Sir Alan Sugar) chooses one to fire.

The behavior of these children is shameful: passing blame, lying, backbiting, sneering at one another, and no one taking responsibility for any mistakes until the time Sugar said, "I wish that sometime someone would just own up to being responsible for this mess," at which time all the little monsters chimed in together, "It was my fault."

I've hired more than my share of employees in my life so far, and would never hire any one of these jealous, lowlife, amoral brats to scrub a driveway, let alone trust him or her with any responsibility in a company I valued.
