The APPRENTICE – see it with your own eyes
Well after bragging about seeing the APPRENTICE set in the city about 2 months before anyone else got to… we now encourage everyone to check the apartment out themselves – the ApprenticeTV series kicks off this Thursday on SABC 3 at 8:30pm with TOKYO SEXWALE in the trump seat. Eat your hearts out suburbians! Long live the city life!
I remember when THE BLOCK aired last year -…
I was so disappointed to see that the apartments were situated in pseudo italy cum Bali aka boring old over-complexed FOURWAYS – then again – some broadcasters always tread slowly and don’t like to admit to change… ouch.
Then there’s other broadcasters that are visionary and like to lead the way – the good news is that the APPRENTICE apartment is smack bang in the middle of the Banking District in downtown JOZI… Well done guys – at last!
You know we like to make the underground the norm!!! So we organised a little tour of the Apprentice set – we can’t show you any pics or give too much away but we can tell you ALL ABOUT IT!!!
The apartment belongs to one very dashing young enthusiastic city property developer – the lucky man has to have the best pad in the whole city! It is situated on the top floor of a building that used to house the reserve bank – you can’t believe it’s up there. The boardroom – where the firing will be done – is on the groundfloor of another building nearby and has the most stunning boardroom table.. Tokyo is gonna love it!
The refurbishing of the apartment was still being completed as we snuck around saying sorreee to workers on a deadline – however filming has already started – ladies – (and some guys) I got a glimpse of some of the contestants – some serious eye-candy is coming your way!!! And you know we have taste!:)
Whoever did the interior decor has muchos taste too – wow – the finishings are impeccable – even better than any of the apartments in the Block and like the minds that chose the location – visionary. I used some of the most foul language known to man as i walked through the numerous palatial rooms – I won’t give it all away – but there is this round couch thang – wow – someone’s got to get funky on a couch that looks like a bed. The bathrooms looked like a wallpaper spread and the kitchen was Jamie Olivers dream.
The clincher that caused the most shocking of expletives to pass my lips had to be the JACUZZI room swiftly outdone by the outside pool… EISH. The Jacuzzi takes up most of the floorspace in a dome-like room with huge round glass windows that open into the lap of the city… the pool is open-air – on the long balcony outside – DAMN!!!
As I said – I don’t want to give it all away – You’ll have to catch the show – but I have a feeling The Apprentice is going to change a whole lot of mindsets towards the city (COME ON GUYS! OPEN YOUR MINDS!) and we’re so proud of such a worldclass set. WELL DONE!!!
