Oy vay!

I'm mildly concerned that this blog is, at least for the next few weeks, going to consist of entries that rant about the incompetence of the candidates in the current series of the Apprentice. Oh well!

This week's most cringe-worthy fiasco involved Jenny and Michael trying to buy a kosher chicken at a suq in Marakesh. Although the other team successfully managed to find the Jewish part of the sprawling market, their team decided to try a Muslim butcher, happy to assume that any prayer would magically make it kosher!

To add insult to injury, Lee also demonstrated a sad lack of knowledge about other cultures: upon hearing the call to prayer, he described it to others as a call to fasting.

At this stage, I could hardly take any more of this depressing show of ineptitude. But it was worth hanging in there to see Jenny fired (and Jen too) as well as... Michael crossing himself. Absolutely classic! That guy has serious identity issues. He certainly isn't any good Jewish boy that I've ever seen.
