Your Hired!

Well the apprentice has ended and with it the raison d’etre for television. Michelle won and I think she has been in the forerunner for quite a while without the viewers ever realising. If I hadn’t known beforehand that she was going to win then I would have been shocked too. Although saying that I would hire Michelle over Ruth anyday (unless it was a sales job).
The look on Michelles face was classic when she saw the complete group of the people she had picked. Hehe
There was one particular bit which made me laugh, the finalists had to pick three former contestants to help them with the final task. One of the contestants Michelle picked was Bengali, bad boy of business Syed. Now for those who are not aware, these two are in fact dating (what besti for his poor parents!). After a particularly successful sale from Michelle and Syed, as the camera pans away Michelle gives Syed a peck on the cheek. And you hear Syed say ‘I cannot believe you just did that on national TV’.
Well actually you probably wouldn’t have heard them if it wasn’t for Subtitles. Talking of subtitles, they pick up the quietest sound of leaf falling? What is that all about? Not to mention when the BBC obviously outsourced to a subtitle centre in India (or should that be in China?). I used to watch Saturday Kitchen and the subtitles were hilarious. “…and then take the crème blue lay…” you can’t help but think if your Company’s call centre provide the subtitles for the BBC as well. “
