You're fired? Not in God's kingdom
The nineteenth series of the BBC show The Apprentice continues to captivate audiences across the UK. Hosted by the business magnate Lord Sugar, The Apprentice does what it says on the tin: 18 entrepreneurs compete against each other to become his next apprentice.
The programme’s premise is simple: prove to Lord Sugar that you’re the best. If you succeed, you will become his next business partner, earning a six-figure salary. Fail to do so and you will hear those unforgiving words: "You’re fired." You will then be removed from the boardroom and taxied back to obscurity.
