Sugar is already touting for candidates for next year's show. Presumably
if this was his last series he'd not have allowed his picture to be
used.

There are to be two more although it is not explicitly stated who is
doing the hiring or firing.

Does it matter at the end of the day?
There is no real job / career in business at the end of it for the
winner - hardly going to be useful on the CV that there was a job and
how you got it - headhunters will snap up the useful candidates from
the cast offs.
Its supposed to be entertaining, which it undoubtedly is.
Given that Sugar probably has shares in Thames Talkback just
as he probably had shares in Sky when he started flogging Sky Dishes
and took over Tottenham as Sky's proxy on the Premership management
committee, I don't think he's really that bothered.
This show seems to have done a lot more good for his public
image than even he dreamed of, when he took it on. A nice surprise.
Especially after his nasty experiences with the Spurs supporters.
I don't think having one more employee either way - or the £100,000
even assuming it's his own money would really bother him that much.
This is turning into a PR dream from his POV. As he's getting
older maybe this matters rather more to him than it did before.
When he really couldn't give a sh*t what anyone - other than
the punters and Dixons buyers - thought.
It is a route to continue to Andy Warhol's 15 minutes theory.
It's far more entertaining than would be a show wher Sugar was trying
to find a new chief accountant. That's for sure. "These sixteen
accountants...." (cue Monty)
