Sexism on the apprentice

I'm really annoyed about this and probably won't express it very articulately but I'd like to know if this is a valid point.

I just watched the Apprentice, Trishna got fired for being grumpy. Trishna was a good candidate, certainly better than the two women she was up against. But she was fired because she "got the hump" when something went wrong.

Am I right in thinking that this is because women are held to a much MUCH higher expectation when it comes to mood and attitude than men are? She was expected to be sweet and smiley and pleasant when things were going wrong. Paul on the other hand was angry and aggressive right from the start and only after several weeks got fired for shouting really intimidatingly at a team mate.

I think it was a big mistake to fire Trishna. She was certainly a good performer and i think the bunch that are left are poor seconds to her.
