Really looking forward to seeing those cars next week.

OH NOES! I thought Raef was certain to Winrar!

I think we can all agree that the best business decision made in the entire programme was to make the show in the first place!!

Whats a hundred grand compared to the millions he must have made from the BBC fee

And to think he's been 7-Zipped.

Raef was the only one that seemed to have his head screwed on, and was a generally nice person - looked like the certain winner to me, none of the others seemed to be any good.

Dont get me started on Michael.

Btw what do you think about Michael?

I've just had a sudden realisation. Perhaps SAS is keeping Michael for the interview stage to see if he gets rubbished by his advisers. If he does then SAS sacks Michael.

I genuinely despise the little sod. Ignorant, arrogant, full of excrement, annoying, unpleasant, bottom-kisser, falsely toff, cringeworthy and I bet he's also smelly.

Pah! *sulks*

My money is (now) on Claire. Didn't like her at first, but I think she could do it.

Corrected.

Claire will win 100%, guaranteed. You can tell he likes her, Sir Alan tries to make it out he has no favourites by throwing a few sarcastic comments at her, but you can easily see through it.

Final three will be Claire, Lucinder and a toss-up between Lee or Alex.

Thanks.

Vasquez · 22 May 2008 at 21:36

Claire, Lucinda and Lee should be in the top three, if Alex, Micheal or Helene are there I will be annoyed :mad:

shifty_uk · 22 May 2008 at 22:05

Just watching this on iplayer...Lee's pitch is appalling. At least have a rough idea of what's in your notes. Getting mixed up and having to repeat lines is just bad.

asim18 · 22 May 2008 at 22:42

wtf tbh. how the hell is michael still there?

only reason i can think of is he said he's a jew :\

MarcLister · 22 May 2008 at 22:48

Steady now!

sniffy · 22 May 2008 at 23:00

You must admit, he did play the Jew card in his CV. I remember SAS catching him out on some basic things though so I doubt that's it. It's a TV show at the end of the day and you know you're going to watch it just to see Michael get fired. It wouldn't surprise me if they dragged him through to the last few to keep numbers up.

I doubt it. Sugar pretty much sussed him out on that one.

TRICKYJ's WEEKLY APPRENTICE ROUNDUP

Evictee: RAEF- Shame, although I believe he was to blame for the direction and ultimate downfall of the film, he was very unfortunate to be fired when people such as michael and helene remain. He will be successful in life however so wish him well. The posh git

Lucinda: Fast becoming my favourite- I would very much like to see her win. Hoping she can keep her often emotive side calm enough to let her true qualities shine through. Nice to see a fairly genuine person in the contending for winning.

Claire: I think SAS has a soft spot for her and likes her sales prowess. I think he is thinking that they're all a bunch of plonkers, but as he has to hire one of them, Claire might make him some money

Either that or he is secretly slipping her one.

Alex: Cleverly doing just enough to get by without making any actual decisions that could risk him being blamed for something. Quick to pounce and capitalise upon anyone elses mistakes with the thought that it will take the heat off of him. A hand I don't think he can play much more.

Helene: Please, your name is helen and you are not special because you pronounce your fairly common name slightly different!

p). She is a bully and I am very suprised SAS and Co have not seen this and given her the boot.

Lee: Seems very unsuited to this program. Don't get me wrong, I like him and he seems a lovely bloke- he just seems more like the person you will find out in the waiting area rustling through the sweety bowl and kicking around the screwed up paper as a football.

Michael: He needs to be binned immediately. Literally, placed into a bin and defecated upon.

Nicely put. However, I think this is becoming much worse than Big Brother, i.e. where BB is known as RTV (sad as that may be), this is goodness knows what.

For example, how has Michael survived to date, what kind of editing is taking place to lead/mislead during tasks? You'll never guess the outcome of this one, well, unless you guess against the bleeding obvious, and so on...

Show has a lot of potential, but doesn't really match the Donald Trump originals. SAS should back off the celebrity a little and count his reddies...
