The Apprentice - General Discussion

I agree, it should have been Simon who went last night. He might have chosen the product that "saved" them, but it was down to him that the other items didnt sell.

Naomi was a great seller, even if she hasn't been that great previously to this task. She deserved some credit for what she did, as did Tre.

Katie is a complete bitch, but she gets the job done, so i suppose thats why shes doing well in the contest. I dont like her as a person, but shes a good buisness person, i think. Plus she didn't flirt with Sir Alan this week- something i'm sure we're all pleased about, its so cringeworthy!!

Simon should have gone.. he gave no direction to Tre or Naomi on selling the product, so what that he choose them, he didn't sell them it was down to those too and his presentation was dreadful. I want to see him go next week.. I am thinking Kristina and Tre for the final two

Oh well, I think the right two are left. I think Simon is great. He is such a character. As a former HR manager for a large organisation myself, I'd give him a job any day. I wouldn't ask him to do anything except be around to cheer everyone up!

However, I can't see him beating Kristina. She has her head screwed on ok.

absolutley gutted that Katie walked, shes been my favourite since day one and has never failed to entertain - at least she did the noble thing and stepped down to give the other two a fair chance.

Out of the two that are left I'd prefer Christina to win, but I think Sir Alan will go with Simon, he seems to like him.

Did the noble thing my A**e... she was only in to win and then leave.. it was a trophy for her!! Alan took a very calculate risk that paid off.. put question to Katie like could she move, is she just in to win and stop others winning.. then said she is in and left her to think!! I said straight away she doesn't look happy for someone who is told she is in the final

Now Alan has 2 very good people who are thinking "If Katie hadn't been caught out (yes, not stepped down) who would he have fired".. they are both going to want to impress the hell out of him to give them the edge over the other person!! Sir Alan is a lot more clever than you think!!!

Kristina to win.. Simon is a muppet

I was totally shocked that Kate walked last night. When the story was leaked a few weeks ago that one of the finalist walked because of family comittments I thought it would have been Kristina, leaving Tre and Kate in the final. So glad Tre was fired he was just a pain in the backside he only lasted as long as he did in the competition out of pure luck, Lohit was too quiet and nice to be ruthless.

Kate was a bitch but I felt sorry for her at the end of last night's show. Simon is a nice guy but he has no chance against Kristina.

I didn't feel sorry for Katie.

She acted like an idiot!

Why enter a competition for a job with Sir Alan Sugar if you don't know where his companies are based and you are not mobile?

Why did she not research him and his companies before she applied?

The same hold true for Tre.

Simon seems to have a problem looking people in the eye. He also fidgits non stop. He looks like a wee school boy who thinks he is going to be found out for something.

I think he was found out re. his job title - entepreneur - last night. He lets out rooms in a crummy bed sit - WOW!

(This guy has had all the advantages in life - both his grandfather and father are multimillionaires and Simon has gone to exclusive public school and Cambridge University. OK - he is really smart - there are v. few people with IQs of 174 - and few who speak 6 languages fluently. Being smart isn't all you need to get by in business. He is a grasshopper - he doesn't have any direction or drive.)

I haven't mentioned Lohit - he is a nice, smart guy. I would give him a job over most of the candidates, but not over Kristina.

I hope Kristina gets the job - she is not only the best candidate left - she is the best candidate full stop.

i agree, with siobhan, surely she knew what the job consisted of before hand and therefore this is a bit of a calculated decsion, either that or shes not as bright as we thought.

My favourite was Adam, but he went ages ago, i still think thats was due to him being from this part of the woods. Kristina definitly to win. I prefer her to the other one.

did anyone see the 'Why I fired them' special last night with Alan Sugar looking back over the whole series?

He said that he realised that he had made a mistake letting Katie into the final - and that if she hadn't walked he would have said, 'I have changed my mind - Katie you are fired!'

Now that would have been something to see!

Now th at I would have liking to see too.. she didn't deserve to be there and now she is the hero who stepped down instead of the person who tried to deceived everyone..
