Instant gratification

I am guilty of needing to know - and needing to know "now!". I have become hooked on the latest series of "The Apprentice" from the US and as I watched this week I realized that since television often comes late to Australian shores, the series may already have been decided. Well, it hasn't but the results for the next few weeks are on the website so I have skipped ahead. There are no surprises here really - the "weak" would-be's have been despatched fairly quickly - and by "weak" I mean the ones the others had started picking on from Day One and who haven't been able to sufficiently stake their claim to "persist" in the series. It is an interesting psychological phenomenon.
