Howard was robbed, Lorraine should have gone

Oi, Suralan, noooo! I was sure Lorrraine was for the chop in tonight's Apprentice, but instead he went for lovely Howard instead.

Maybe I was the kiss of death, as during the programme I jotted down 'Howard's a dark horse who could win it'.

Well, clearly not, now. But I think Suralan was wrong in not supporting Derby's blue-eyed boy.

And I wish he would make up his mind. Last week he told them off for taking a punt on the rocking horse as it was too risky, then he criticises Howard for not taking enough risks.

Tonight's show was full of the apprentices paying each other 'compliments' in the most derogatory way.

Lorraine told Kate "We all know you're very good," in the most patronising way.

Later Kate got her own back with "Doesn't she look lovely?" about Lorraine wearing the hideous leafy jacket.

Then there was Yasmina on Debra: "I would employ her, but only in an organisation where you have to be harsh and not friends with anyone."

My favourite, James, was fantastic comedy value again, from his "you can get polyester that's man-made?" comment to his awful rhyming while shopping channel presenting - "stop spying (eh?) and start buying!".

And this week's "I feel...." line from James? "I feel like Hugh Hefner." Umm, not quite. Have you seen Lorraine?
