The latest episode of the Apprentice began with a shock – a candidate left the competition.
Wait, isn’t that supposed to come at the end of the show?
Aleksandra is off (BBC)
It may only be week four, but Aleksandra King had already had enough, kicking off her team’s pep talk at the beginning of the task by announcing she was off.
The 38-year-old business consultancy owner said: “You guys, I just have to say something. I’m going to leave the process… I’m really sorry, I’m just not enjoying it.”
Damn it Alexsandra, I had you in my Apprentice Sweepstake! #TheApprentice

Well, we didn’t see that coming.
Not even 9:15 and someone has already left The Apprentice, absolute scenes

Aleksandra showed more strength to leave this bunch of toxic individuals than to stay on suffering #apprentice

Maybe Aleksandra should have planned her exit better, though…
If u were quitting the apprentice surely u would stay in bed & have a lie in, not get up half 5, put ur lippy & best clobber on, then quit

She explained to camera after dropping the bombshell: “I’ve found the process overwhelming, stressful, really intense and I want to go home to my husband and kids now.”
Perhaps she just didn’t fancy this week’s fashion retailing task.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
