The Apprentice: Liz vs. Stella

Liz vs. Stella: Who will win the battle? Copyright BBC
If you look back at day one of The Apprentice this year, it was clear Liz and Stella were ones to watch.

Back then they were pretty chummy with each other and both knew how to work a calculator. However, after last night’s offering, it’s pretty clear that Liz is no longer a fan of the blonde one.

They locked horns in the boardroom and carried it on into the house as well, with a great bitchy look and statement delivered by Liz, which makes me think there’s more to her than meets the eye.

Sure she’s sweet, bubbly and has a brain, but now we’ve glimpsed the darker side of the woman with impossibly great skin and hair, which can only mean fireworks in the weeks to come.

Oh and I am loving that white Mac with black trim she sports each week too- very chic and classy.

Stella on the other hand is starting to look a bit more desperate as the weeks go on. Boring suits, peroxide hair and no personality- she was a firm fave but now she’s slipping away, in favour of, believe it or not- Stuart ‘the brand’ Baggs.

Yes, he’s actually starting to grow on me, as is Joanna who is really showing a fun sense of style in the boardroom- tartan skirt and UGGS to face Lord Sugar? Yep, only the Northern lass would champion it.

As we get down to the final six now, I think it will be between Liz and Joanna in the final- with Stuart narrowly missing out. Let’s be honest Chris and Jamie haven’t a hope in hell, and unless Stella lightens up, she’s a goner too.

What did you think or last night’s show- Did Laura deserve to go? Let me know!

Last Night's TV Fashion: Ugly Betty

Ugly Betty's back in action
I wasn’t entirely surprised when this show was axed in the US- the third season lost my interest mid way through, and for someone who was an avid Betty fan before- that signalled the end for me.

Anyway, while Betty is still in business last night’s E4 episode was promising; Justin in Gucci, Betty claiming to be ‘tame’ in head to toe orange, Hilda’s hair pieces getting bigger and Marc just being as fabulous and flamboyant as ever.

Daniel even made an appearance and promptly informed Betty about an office blog detailing her wardrobe choices over the past three years, Genius.

I know Betty is about to get the mother of all makeovers by the end of the season (I’ve seen the US spoilers dontcha know!) so I’ll have to make the most of B’s crazy outfits for the next few weeks.

Last night’s offering certainly had retro Betty in mind- socks and sandals, leopard print, bright belts, clashing prints and a gorgeous red patent Mac laptop case. Since when did Betty get so chic?!

Cute handbags galore showed the new Betty starting to emerge and the whole caterpillar butterfly metaphor wasn’t lost on me either….although I did wish it wasn’t so blatant.

Meegan looks set to be Betty’s new nemesis in season four, while Matt (seen a handful of times during my brief season three dalliance) is sure to forgive Betty isn’t he?

While Wilhelmina works out some daughter issues, Marc continues to hate Betty- to be fair she did poison him with walnuts- and Clare has clearly been caught in the wind with that crazy hair do.

Then there’s Amanda who was suffering some shiny face issues last night, but Becky Newton is as OTT as ever- this is a character who I will never get bored of.

Bring on episode two- bigger, better and more Betty please!
