Default The apprentice your views?

Well that was a turn up for the books !!

Personally i'd have canned

Lucinda,
Lee
Helene

however, it just goes to show how some judicious editing can make good candidates look poor


your views?

Did SAS fire Clare?
She's the best out of all of them now.

It would be a shame if Claire didn't win. But if she & Lee fail to win the task next week, she'll be fired. That would leave Alex to win.

TBH I think Sugar has already decided it's either Alex or Claire. Hence putting them in seperate teams. Makes eliminating one of them very easy. Makes hiring the other a forgone conclusion.

I think Clare and Lee are his favorites. The fact that he let Lee get away with lying on his CV and that calls into account his honesty, speaks volumes.

I think Clare will will though.

Lucinda is already on £100k+ pa
Clare is earning £85k+ bonuses (last year +£27k)

What the hell do they want a £100k position for slaving for someone else?

Raefe (sp)..He is supposedly a property millionaire. I think he should have won, was surprised when he got the boot.

Clare is a gobby sh*te, she would do my **** in if i ever had the misfortune to work with her.

Out of the 4 remaining, i think i would choose Alex.

I do like the interviews, really sorts them out.

Had a chuckle though with Karen Brady "by the time I was 23 I was running a football club"

Yes dear, and by the time you were 38 you had been arrested and investigated in connection with football corruption !!

Karen also fancied Alex - HOW many times did she say he was good looking in the boardroom when they were giving their opinions to SAS !!

Whats he like then
Great looking

Any skills
Great looking

Strengths
Great looking

LOL.

Loved the lying on the CV bit - I mean come on, everyone does it !

Stopped watching The Apprentice when they started having contestants that wouldn't look out of place in the Big Brother house.

If they are the best our country can produce, its no wonder we are going down the pan as a nation.

Alex made me laugh, he got caned in all of his interviews like a fish in the desert.

First interview he said because of his age he hadnt done anything and the interviewer said 2 years younger than you I was running my own business.

Said it with Karen as well and she said I was 23 when I was the whatever of BCFC

and said it with one of the other guys and again was immediately shot down.

FFS you would think he would have learned his lesson after one put down, definately after 2 muppet!!

Thought the pairing up was a strange one for the final, you have a strong team in Clare and Lee and I would call a very week team with Alex and Helena.

What is Helenas purpose I just dont get her. Coming out with family stuff in the interviews etc is a bit pathetic. wouldnt be surpised if the tabloids dont do a bit of digging and find that its a load of b@llocks!

Not sure, has he mentioned it?

Michael MacIntyre. He's been on Mock The Week and is a very funny man!

Some vids knocking around YouTube, but be careful if you're in an office.

Did find some irony in Lucinda's I'm not driven by money comments, perhaps not but it's easy to say that if you are earning £100K and not like most people struggling to pay your daily bills on a "UK average salary" which is about 1/5 of that

He (MacIntyre) said about lying on your CV

"Come on - everyone does it. Who really puts watching TV and m*****bating in the hobbies section" - Brutal, but true

bit of a set up watching the firing part,

alex, claire one side, lucinda, lee , helene the other,

the one in the middle gets it
obviously worked out before they were placed along the table!!!!

alex is favorit, he's sharp, smart and young (and listerns)
claire close 2nd, just too deaf to other opinions and advice!!!(typical women)

helene (works for USA company that doesn't suffer fools)

lee, old fashioned grafter got to admire the fact that he got there and has succeeded at what he's been given and the "atissue" thing will end up being marketed i think (turn the cv lying around and look at what its got him)

Funniest part was in the boardroom where Lucinda said about taking a pay cut if she got the job - the look Claire gave her ! she obviously didnt know how much Lucinda was earning and was thinking 'b!tch, you earn more than me !'

Me and my wife have worked out that Lucinda is actually a high class Madam ( looks like a dirty cow ) and earns most of her money whipping MP's and minor Royals.

I reckon AS will give Claire a job anyway as a sales manager or something dull like that - using her gob for something useful.

Its all ***** anyway as none of them end up being an 'apprentice' to AS, they just get given a faceless job in one of his companies and probably never see him again, until they get sacked after their 6 or 12 month initial contract is up.

I would have chinned a couple of those interviewers though if they spoke to me like that.

I think I already know who has won, but I won't let the cat out of the bag yet in case I am right.

The Mrs and I met one of the remaining 4 candidates about 4 weeks ago and took a picture with them whilst we were out on a Saturday - obviously this person wouldn't say who had won (my Mrs did ask them) and we just assumed they hadn't won because they were out and about.

But looking back, said person was looking well and very happy and smily, and was very happy to talk about the Apprentice (would they be happy if they had lost?) - they had also been out for dinner with SAS the night before we met which I doubt would have happened if they had been fired by then.

I will post the pic up here if said person wins.

Could be wrong of course, but the thought just occured to me when watching it on Wed and they were in the final!!
