Who will be out before the final four? One can never really know because we dont know what their business plans are. If they are good LS will anyway keep them.

Daniel . I am sure that LS will give him the speech of his life when he gets fired. I dont know whom LS has given the 'worst' speech so far but I am sure he will surpass it with him. He so far has not done a single thing.

Bianca. She may not have dont that much wrong but I cant see that she has done anything right either.

Sanjay. Ditto. Felipo Ditto.

So Mark Katie Roisin Solomon are left who wont be fired in the board room. Dont think I have missed anyone out.

I am not sure of James history (or even if there is one) or what he has so far achieved in life if anything. Roisin, nice girl that she is should have stood up more to him. In the past a PM has been sacked. They should have done it this time to James. He was silly bringing Roisin back in with him. He already heard that she knew how to have a go at him he should have brought one of the others.
I always wonder why the PM often brings 'strong' characters in. I would always bring in the weakest to save myself. Although in this instant LS would have fired both.

Although most people on here dont seem to like Mark. He still seems the best person to run a business which is what LS is looking for.

[Cal.]

Sanjay imo.

Mark, Katie, Roisin, Solomon and Bianca are good.

Daniel isn't bad, but he irritates me.

[GoldHeart]

Mark & Daniel keep bickering like school kids
because they're soo alike and there's a rivalry between them
i dont like Mark and Daniel is annoying

i dont think much to Felipe

the others are good

[Shaun]

Felipe is doomed, Sugar is never going to have any patience with anyone non-English

and Daniel's obviously going to be fired soon too. The rest all have a chance but I would like to think Sanjay will break his legs in a car crash and have to withdraw at best

[Marsh.]

Bianca. How this useless bitch has lasted so long is a mystery.

[Raph]

Sanjay is the biggest deadwood followed by Biannca imo

[compound]

This series has already happened so a car crash now wont make a difference. The last four are already known. Maybe even the last two.
I see very few agree with me. Well time will tell.
I dont really see anything in any of them. In the last series all the last three girls were good. It really a matter of who is the best in a bad bunch. I suppose LS has to take one of them.

[compound]

I will keep to my own thread. So far I am still in the running and my dead wood is being fired. LS doesnt like lawyers and his business plan didnt seem to make sense to me. Being 'clever' is not what LS wants to see. Last time he fired Jenny for saying not to let the other team have a tennis bat this time anyway the trick didnt work and they even got it cheaper.
I cant believe one can get a good diamond for so little. Most likely he knew he would be on the apprentice not difficult if you see Karen and Nick about with a whole team of photographers. They must have asked permission to get into a Hatton Garden shop.
Tomorrow his picture and his shop will be in all the papers and the publicity will certainly be worth it.
I didnt realise Daniel was the same religion as LS, maybe that is what is keeping him. He should have gone now if not long ago.

[the truth]

hopefully claude will see off several of these mooks and eat the rest

[Lewis.]

Mark, Roisin, Katie + Solomon are definitely the top contenders for the final 4, can't imagine anyone else getting a chance. Daniel has proved that he can't really sell and that he doesn't play well in a team. LS is waiting for Bianca to fall in the boardroom and I think he'll fire her without a thought about it - she's made too many vital errors. Sanjay has literally done nothing, surprised he's still there.

[compound]

So we have seen two go. Now it wasnt for their performance but for their business plan.
I think LS should never allow them on if he doesnt like their business plan.
Since we dont know what the others have planned its impossible to assess what the outcome will be.
I dont know what Mark's business plan is but it doesnt sound like LS likes it.

[Benjamin]

It's hard to call without knowing their business plans but they not once showed Mark go on about his tonight which makes me feel he may have a really good one and make the final.

[compound]

They should have learned by now that LS is not interested in some new hair brained scheme. He only wants a business that they have been in till now. A new venture he is not interested in and cant trust them.

[compound]

So my predictions so far have proved right!
LS wont trust anyone to start a business they have no experience of.
That only leaves Mark.
I am still not sure what he does. It seems he puts companies higher up on the Google ladder. I thought you just paid Google more to do that.
Also you have to make as many different entries as you can. Since you dont know how the punter will express what he is looking for.
I dont give Bianca a chance. I dont really understand what kind of tights are not yet on the market which she is about to supply.
I dont think you can even take out a patent for such a thing.
Anyway by the time she gets 'there' someone having watched the apprentice will be there before her.
The same with Roisin. Someone is already there and I dont think making a mint considering Roisin hasnt even heard of them.
It was a good show tonight. I was surprised to find Ricky in this role. But he did very well.

[the truth]

mark is impressive and despite his boastful claims hes still likeable

[compound]

Back to my thread.
I wasnt off the 'mark'.
I knew he would win and Bianca didnt have a chance. The more she talks about her ideas the less she seems to have any 'idea' at all.
She has no 'idea' of how to develop a gap in the market even if there is one. She goes for a ridiculous high price and wont come down. Her packaging was really crap for a high price product. Her team seem to be no better. She think she knows everything best and she may be right but its the market who are 'wrong' that she needs to buy her products.
She doesnt seem to have any idea of business. LS was well out of it.

No one really seems to know what Mark's business is all about. Digital marketing are fancy words but what do they mean. LS also doesnt seem to know but he seems to be taken in. He thinks at least it wont cost too much to find out. Mark doesnt yet know whom he is going to employ or what he is giving out. It seems till now all he had was a single job of salesman but no idea of what went on in the backroom.

[compound]

Yes google would offer him a job as a salesman well why not. Its not that difficult to sell. Offer customers a higher ranking on google and charge them for it. I am not sure what else he really is doing with his personal touch.
I would have expected him to make something in competition to google. But that doesnt seem to be the case. He doesnt seem to have really many 'qualities' at all apart from being a salesman. Is he going to help designing a web site which is what most companies really need and that cost money. Its not enough just getting customers to your website. Many are really difficult to maneuver even once you get there and have bought something. So people are going to pay him 400 pounds and all he does is give the money straight to google (taking off a bit for himself). I think that google charge a lot more than that to climb the ladder.
Well thats it for this year.
