With two days and six and a half hours to go until our next fix of The Apprentice, we've turned to the bloggiverse to nurse our withdrawal symptoms.

"Are these people really successful? Do we have to be like that to get ahead in life? Apart from The Vietnamese guy and the Ving Raimes dude, the blokes are complete cocks." (Daniel Hill)

"[Sugar] comes across as a bit of a braggart, the sort of bore one might encounter in a pub bragging to his mates about how 'ard he is. Yawn." (Samizdata)

After the break: Drowning Jo in a sack

"Look out for Jo, whose body language seems stuck at the level of an eight-year-old in We Are The Champions. After only thirty seconds of watching her, I had a powerful impulse to see her drowned in a sack." (If Destroyed, Still True)

"Syed told us that he has a 'gameplan' but so far seems to have all the cunning of the most cunning plan in cunningland by Baldrick. No hope of winning, but should be good for a weekly laugh." (Conor's Bandon Blog)

"I fully expected Alan Sugar (sorry, Sir Alan Sugar) to say 'Does my face look bovvered???'" (ROTFLOL)

"The rebranding of Alan Sugar as some kind of grizzly-but-loveable folk hero seems a little hard to stomach for us long-suffering Spurs supporters." (The Rainbow Connection)

"All is present and correct: 'Sir' Alan Sugar telling crap anecdotes about his mighty empire while tacky plastic Amstrad goods lurk in the background..." (What Does Your Soul Look Like, Pt 4)

"Of course, it's all a pile of dingo's kidneys. But it is brilliant entertainment." (Geoff Coupe)
