Should Sugar put age before beauty?

No huge surprise in The Apprentice last night. Yasmina won, beating Kate and Debra, the two other credible runners in what was undoubtedly a donkey derby, despite Sir Alan Sugar's protestations.

More interesting perhaps was Sugar's call to arms for contestants for next year, asking those who have found themselves out of work later in their careers to come forward. Is this crunch-washing tokenism? More PR posturing in a week where Gordon Brown asked to shelter beneath Sugar's largely inexplicable halo? Or might it help focus a conversation of what skills are most important in a recession, especially when every 21 year-old with an expensive education under their belt thinks they should be a CEO within a year?
