The Apprentice: Every dog has it's day

Pet food task! The tasks seem to have been a lot better this year than last year, a bit more fun and quirky than selling sausages, anyway. Oh hold on, didn't they do that first episode?
Is Vincent team leader? Yays. His team is 'doing dogs'. The team leader 'doing cats' just called himself a 'catalyst'. Sounds rude. I want the cats team to win! Cats rule.
They've called the dog food Every Dog. Zzzzz.
I love seeing people in suits trying to be creative. Blue sky wanking! I wonder if Alan is going to say 'this has been a catastrophe' or 'this dog has had it's day'. Place your bets now! Bet bet bet. Ah, someone just made a dog's dinner joke. This is too easy.
Uh oh, the team leader Glenn just went against the focus group. You're going home! Oh well, all the better to beat you over the head with in the boardroom. He just messed up the whole task because he likes some stupid pun. No cat is going to eat diet cat food. He must be mad.
LOl to Orlando calling the sphinx cat a chicken. Rude! It looks more like a ball bag.
Ugh 'cats eyes see their light' is the strap line. I love the fact half his team are laughing at him. OMG that Glenn is the ultimate tool. I like the fact Zoe told him whereto stick it.
Melody gave her pitch like a robot. Although Orlando said 'y'know' about a million times at least he seemed friendly and casual. He did look a bit embarrassed by the product.
Let's just send Glenn home and be done with it! Ah, here we go. Lordy just made a 'Winalot' joke. OMG I can't believe Glenn's team won! Don't let this be the end of Vincent. NOOOOOOOO! I guess Jim has been set up for the fall as he thought of the rubbish name.
Tom's on the losing team again... sob! OMG Vincent didn't bring Jim back! He could end up going home for that. Jim, when it's your time to go, it's your time to go. Alan's got your card marked! Scary.
Vincent bottled it. Bringing the girls back is too easy. They didn't do anything bad. Vincent is tying himself in knots here. Is he in love with Jim? Are they having Brokeback times back at the mansion?
I'm shocked Alan kept Vincent, it's definitely just for TV.
LOL I take it all back! That was a killer end. But I could have told you, Vincent,
this world was never meant for one as beautiful as you.
And finally, special mention must go to Glenn, who on seeing Natasha walk back through the door to the house said, 'who's been sacked, Vincent and Ellie?' WELL DONE, GENIUS.

MTV: Pete Doherty in 24 Hours

I'm a bit behind on this one, but I only just read about it in Heat (yeah, yeah) and watched it on the MTV site. Why do I do it to myself?
I went into this show hating Pete Doherty passionately. I hated the way he treated his band, and I hated his mentality; blaming everyone but himself for being a screw-up. But worse, I hate the apologists around him, treating him like an incorrigible little scamp, not capable of making his own decisions, whereas the truth is, he's unreliable because he's a drug addict. The whole premise of the show 'will he turn up' is patronising; will he turn up, or will he be too busy stuffing heroin into his bloodstream (as it turned out, I think he combined the two)? Lovely. Very moral of you, MTV.
His 'friend' Anthony who wanted him to do the catwalk show (to advertise HIS label) clearly has his own agenda. I never did buy that libertine dream.
Oh dear; it was worse than I thought. Doherty looked like death, like Jarvis Cocker reimagined by Tim Burton then thrown in the dustbin for 75 years. His house made Edward Scissorhands' derelict castle look chi-chi, with intermittent electricity and drawing on the walls. I stopped drawing on the walls around about aged 3.
Aside from that, he's totally lost his marbles too, rambling on about ghosts throwing a party in his house, a deer's head being dumped in there, and a half-man half beast 'werewolf thing' sleeping in one of his cars.
Is he fit to look after all those cats? I sound like the Daily Mail myself, but he doesn't seem capable of looking after himself, contradicting himself and going off on wild tangents. He seemed vulnerable and MTV were exploiting him.
When he said he spent Christmas alone, and then was scrabbling through his rent demands and saying he sleeps in the chair, I just felt very sad for him.
The rest of the show had all the authenticity of Peaches Geldof's magazine programme, i.e. none. The 'tension' was non-existent. Will Carl and Pete perform together? Who gives a shit, they're both hopeless. Their problem was they believed their own hype.
It was a bit disturbing when Pete looked like he was having a fit in the back of the cab and everyone just laughed at him. The state of him when he did that gig was disgusting, he was caked in sweat and looked off his head. The fans are culpable as far as I'm concerned; it's just a freak show.
Oh he did duet with Carl. So that's alright then. The whole show was a weird mish-mash of fake, juxtaposed with the whole Pete bit which was so tawdry. It's fair enough having a laugh at Jodie Marsh; she knows what she's in for. Or Peaches; she's an easy target, and I'm sure she can take it. But Pete looks headed for death to me. And yeah, I used to hate him. But after this; I just feel sorry for him. He's a state. He makes Winehouse look like Barbados Barbie and he needs help.
