The infants-school everybody-wins cop-out of last night’s final might qualify as the worst thing the programme has ever given us – surely, its time is upThis is the way The Apprentice ends, not with a bang, but a shrug. Because the final is the only time in the entire series that Sugar has to make an actual decision. Sugar knows the businesses he wants to invest in, and everything up to the final moment of the final episode is merely an arbitrary whittling down of big-tied nimrods. Photograph: Dominic Lipinski/PASo for Sugar to conclude the final by announcing a new, tedious, infants-school-sports-day everybody-wins policy – and for him to do it with the level of weary resignation he demonstrated last night – is an almighty anticlimax. It might even be a sign that The Apprentice should pack it in for good.
