The music business...
"Business is the new rock 'n' roll and I'm Elvis Presley" so says Apprentice contestant Phillip Taylor, a 29 year old estate agent. It's a good quote but sadly not as memorable as his fellow contestant James who told Suralan that when he wakes up in the morning: "I can taste success in my spit!" Lovely. As you'll see from this clip, saliva wasn't the only bodily fluid he was in danger of spilling on the boardroom carpet on last week's show.
On tonight's show we will find out if Phillip is right and that business will line up alongside cookery, stand up comedy and interior design as the things claiming to be the new rock n roll.
The theme was suggested by Richard CairnsÌýwho has come up with some great suggestionsÌýincluding the very topical Lost Prophets ( profits!). Brilliant. Call or text in with your suggestions or why not leave a message on the blog.
I've been looking at The Apprentice website all afternoon (It's research boss!!) and I have to say I am mighty jealous.
Take a look at the 'predictor' which is a fab online game that let's you predict who will get kicked off at the end of the show. You get 1000 points to play with which you then gamble on who you think will be fired.
Be good to get one of those on the blog and you could gamble points on which songs will make it to the final cut. Who's going to have a wee flutter on Jethro Tull then?

Be sure to watch the highlights on Harry Hill.

The greed part unfortunately seems more popular than the working part . . .
