18:47 Hello my name is Alan

22:10 Even with Dara hosting, I still can't face You're Hired! Thanks for following folks, see you next year for a new series of The Apprentice!

22:08 So Stella won the 12 weeks of "blood sweat and tears" and what a series it was. My personal highlights include the "muffin zone" and any footage involving Stuart Baggs The Brand.

22:06 Wow incredibly quick cut to The Apprentice: You're Hired! there. We never had a chance there Dara!

22:06 Stella is hired! Oh I completely got it wrong. Well done Stella, nice tears of joy there.

22:03 The tense music has started, someone's about to get hired!

22:03 Fight fight fight! Keep it professional guys.

22:01 It's the battle of the blondes. Stella has a great track record, experienced but seen as a bit corporate. Chris is young and inexperienced, and has had his ups and downs but is much admired. Difficult to call. I'm still saying Chris.

21:58 Sir Alan is consulting Karren and Nick now. They're praising both of them, difficult to tell who's leading. Could be a photo finish!

21:56 OK so now it's just Chris and Stella left in the boardroom. Eep.

21:55 Short break in the tension as Sir Alan ridicules Shibby the doctor.

21:53 Lord Sugar's getting into his stride now. Waiting for the first pun/joke.

21:51 Off to the boardroom! Weird to see it so crowded, some people have to stand. Stella and Chris eye up each other's products.

21:49 "Just support me OK?" Stella has resorted to begging the industry experts. Well, whatever works.

21:48 Sometimes Stella sounds like an automated voice machine.

21:46 Sexy male dancers this time for Stella! No reaction from Nick as of yet.

21:45 Chris reckons the price of pomegranates will increase significantly because of demand due to his product. Yep, keep on dreaming Chris.

21:43 Slightly odd ménage a trois in Chris' advert there.

21:42 Chris first with Prism. Sexy girl dancers cause Nick to raise his eyebrows, possibly his biggest reaction to anything to date.

21:41 You know it's a classy affair when there's a red carpet involved. And Sirralan is walking down it.

21:40 The girls are arguing. Just like old times!

21:39 Jamie is tutoring Chris on pitching and not being too monotone. His enthusiasm is touching.

21:38 Oh excellent, dancers at the pitch. Nothing like a bit of flesh to sell something.

21:37 The drink that Chris has created is Prism, a pink concoction in a pyramid glass. Not looking good.

21:35 Stella seems to be doing the best so far, but the positive footage could be a red herring by the editors.

21:34 Karren Brady always looks so well groomed and sounds so intelligent. Blah.

21:33 Chris' drink bottle looks like a murder weapon. Possibly the most incovenient thing ever to drink out of.

21:31 "Are we allowed raising eyebrows, a wink?" It's not the 70s Chris.

21:29 TV commercials again? Oh Lord Sugar, you spoil us.

21:28 Each team has managed to make their drink aimed at the wrong gender - Chris with his pink pomegranate drink aimed at men, Stella with her Bourbon drink aimed at women. Classic.

21:26 The choking from Liz as she tastes their drink is certainly encouraging.

21:25 Stella is going for Bourbon flavoured with honey and spices, calling it Urban Bourbon or some other tongue-twister.

21:23 I've missed Alex. His affable ineptitude is charming.

21:19 The range of music in The Apprentice is amazing. I swear I've heard music from The Sims, Harry Potter as well as the classic Prokofiev.

21:17 Let's watch them all pretend to be friends. I hope one of the losers is planning sabotage. Where's Stuart Baggs when you need him?

21:15 Their task is to create and pitch a new brand of alcoholic drink. This should be fun!

21:15 So they're picking their teams, got to feel sorry for Paloma, picked last.

21:14 No Stuart Baggs? Disappointed.

21:12 The morning shots of them in their dressing gowns are always mildly disturbing and a bit weird. Surely they shouldn't film them getting dressed? It's not Big Brother.

21:10 OK so, Stella English vs. Chris Bates. Bets on the table now everyone, I'm going for Chris. He's young, talented and personable.

21:08 Does anyone else know this intro off by heart now? "I don't want no steady Eddies or cautious Carols."

21:07 Short plug from Dara for You're Hired! there. I'll be watching Dara.

21:04 Well done AP McCoy, now, for Sirralan.

21:02 Lots of inspiring music as the winner is announced, lots of camera cuts to various surly sportsmen.

20:58 Sports Personality of the Year is just ending...I'm mildly intrigued but ultimately more psyched for The Apprentice.

20:55 Just five minutes to go until it begins, I'm excited, are you?

"Possibly the most incovenient thing ever to drink out of" - drinking out of the bottle - perhaps says more about the blogger than the drink... .
