We miss the tache already.

LAST NIGHT’S APPRENTICE was the interview episode, usually a highlight of the series. Yes, it was cringeworthy, and YES, the candidates’ bull was finally exposed.

But perhaps the most shocking scene of all was when candidate Joseph Valente shaved off his moustache.

People were surprised, but delighted

The moment we've all been hoping and waiting for... The worst moustache in apprentice history is gone! #TheApprentice

But thought it may be giving him secret powers

What if all his strength was in that moustache, like Samson, but with facial hair? #theapprentice

OR, sapping them

I think Joseph's moustache was a leech sapping his power, and now that it's gone he's the best candidate #TheApprentice

Joseph is killing it so far with the interviews... Maybe the moustache had been holding him back? #TheApprentice.

Some thought it began to grow back mid-episode

Whoops!

We couldn't find this Tweet

Then we had the usual conspiracies

Cunning ruse from #joseph on #TheApprentice - if fired, taxi clip will still show moustache so production crew will stop it on continuity!

He made it to the final next week though, so the verdict is still out

I'm so glad Joseph's moustache sacrifice wasn't for nothing. #TheApprentice

Go on Joseph, do it for the tache. RIP.
