By now I should know better...

So why was I surprised to read in the paper tis morning that the result of The Apprentice was a bit of a fix? Apparently they filmed both candidates being 'hired' last October, but no final decision was taken until Tuesday this week - after both had worked in Alan Sugar's organisation for the past six months!

I'm not sure why this has annoyed me - I knew it wasn't live, after all, but I suppose even now, I feel stung by the machinations of reality tv and the way it tries to hoodwink the public. And I'm still not sure why, sometimes, I still care.
