As I still have something vaguely resembling a social life (just about), I was unable to catch the first 30 minutes of the programme on Wednesday night, so I'll just jot down what impressed me or made me laugh in the final half an hour....
First of all, the two teams had the task of rebranding Margate, once the gem of the Kent coastline, now an almost unmitigated poohole. If you had asked me, there were only two options: either a regeneration of London 2012 proportions (with a budget to match) or a simple phone call to Angela Merkel, asking her to send over the Luftwaffe, total the town Coventry-style and start all over again.
Empire, the losing team - headed by the horrible Debra - chose to target the gay community and attract the socalled pink pound. Now you didn't have to wait for the end of the programme to realise that Empire's idea was just plain bad. Well, I have no crystal ball but I certainly didn't rush to ask my broker to buy shares in Kent Pillows Ltd. anyway. I personally think that - as far as rebranding operations go - it was almost tantamount to making Paris Hilton pass for a MENSA member.
Highlight of the week must certainly be James' reaction when Sugar announced cheerily that the winning team were off off to speed around in racing cars. 'You're putting on a great Punch and Judy show here!' shouted Sir Alan, before condemning James and his Empire team to the usual finger-pointing session in the dodgy caff. Poor old James certainly couldn't disguise his disappointment - G U T T E D was painted across his face!! Almost worth leaving the pub for.... almost.
In the end how team leader Debra managed to avoid the sack is still a mystery. The fact that Mona got the chop instead is a total travesty - in terms of travesties it's up there on a par with Chelsea v Barca me thinks.
Although clearly disappointed for getting the boot, it's not all doom and gloom for former beauty queen Mona as it's rumoured that she's been offered 1 million to shed her clothes for an adult magazine. The figure has been confirmed, however the name of the magazine is still unclear, and so is the currency. However there are no doubts about a similar offer made to fellow contestant Debra and the currency in question (old Turkish Liras).
