i think alan would do a kate on helen and call her too robotic and hire susan

[Shaun]

The clips of Sunday's show seem to show Alan berating someone on the amount of bullshit they talk - and I really cannot see that being anyone but Jim.

Yeah very true! Helen and Susie don't really bulls1it and Tom is too much of a

[joeysteele]

I still think Jim may keep the best until last,I would like to see him do better in the final anyway. However, I am thinking Susan is now going to be hard to beat.

How could anybody hate Tom?

Well hes been a useless coward through out the show

[Doogle]

Think: Helen > Susan > Tom > Jim
Want: Susan > Helen > Jim > Tom

[Beastie]

Susan. If not then Tom!

[Jords]

Doesnt make him hatable at all.

[Doogle]

He's so annoying I want him to just vanish before I start throwing things at the TV.

I don't buy into this at all - everyone's expecting some kind of rebellion every time the team leader's made a bit of a bad decision. If he went through week after week of saying I THINK THIS IS A BAD IDEA, I REFUSE TO TAKE PART, he'd have fallen weeks ago. If anything it says a lot more about the fired candidates who failed to spot what he spotted.

I just see no reason to hate someone who, in a lineup of 16 mostly self-obsessed senseless conceited arseholes, is nice, friendly, a bit shy and intelligent.

He dosent deserve to be in the final, better people have gone because of him. If he wins it will be an embarrassment

[Doogle]

Cos I hate nice people on this show. The bitchier, nastier and more backstabbing, the better.

I don't really care who is the better candidate, I just like watching them fail and blame each other, although I still think Susan/Helen are better than Tom.

This isn't some silly show with some money and short term media fame being thrown at the winner, in the same way as BB and its winner for example.


You've clarified that you don't really care for the ethos of the show and watch it only to see people failing and blaming each other - which in all fairness: it a completel valid point. it IS a tv show regardless, it remains a show designed to capture viewers and this slant of the show, is one that will appeal to a certain type of viewer.

The more serious side of the show: it's is about real life in the the business world and for career minded adults, this is the opportunity of a lifetime that very few people get the chance of.

In the business world, people who are bitchy, nasty and backstabbing tend to have their gases put on a peep very quickly these days - not least because they are incredibly disruptive to a workforce, are seen as, (and tend to be), bullies and aggressors, add to that, the financial impact on employee turnover due to having such nasty, bitchy and backstabbing types in the workplace.

Whilst that element may help make for a good TV, it does absolutely nothing for good business or employee moral. Which given the nature of the show, the nature of the its more serious side, is actually humorously ironic - The Apprentice being both!

i think susan will win

[Shaun]

I don't think this series has been very good for entertainingly bitchy/horrible contestants (like in the past where we've had Jenny, Katie) or genuine oddballs (Lucinda, Raef, Lorraine), so I've gone for the nicest people LOL

The only really horrible people this year I think have been Melody, Zoe and Gavin.

[MeMyselfAndI]

Zoe

Zoe's Gotta win it

[Marc]

Zoe be hired yo

[BigBrotherfan4ever]

I want Helen to win, but i've got a horrible feeling Susan will win.

[Chuck]

[Lewis.]

The only way that Helen wont win is if Alan pulls the 'too robotic' card on her. Other than that he can't argue against the fact that she's the best candidate there. He might hire Susie, and I think Nick and Karen also like Susie a lot so will probably put in a good word for her, I can't see her doing too badly in the interviews either. Jim talks a lot of bullsh*t and I think is he was looking for a salesperson then Jim would be perfect, otherwise I just don't think he's up to the job of being Alans business partner. As inventive as Tom is, I just don't sense that he has an eye for business so I don't think he'll be hired. Reckon it will be a close one though.

[bbfan1991]

Helen's been portrayed as the perfect one so far, she's had this record in tasks but got a bit lucky because the team she was on won and it wasn't all down to her as some made out.

Maybe Helen's business plan will show a few flaws to Lord Sugar? She seems a bit smug now too but no doubt she has the ability.
