The Apprentice 2008

[Siobhan]

I have a scary feeling Lucinda is going this week.... It will be Micheal and clare in the final as much as it pains me... Lee is the only decent one left

I read an interview with Nick and Margaret (Sir Alan's aides) and they said that nobody who enters the Apprentice would actually make a good apprentice... does anyone know if any of the previous winner are still working for him???

Apprentice number one left after two years:

Apprentice number two Michelle Dewsbury only stayed for her one year contract:

Apprentice number three Simon Ambrose is still working with the propoerty arm of Sir Alan Sugar's empire. He is not exactly setting the real estate world alight....

'Last years Apprentice winner, Simon Abrose is said to have had a “rude awakening” when he took up his post at AMSPROP, the real estate division of Alan Sugar’s group of companies.
“Simon’s doing OK…He’s working on trying to sell some places for us and I think he’s had a rude awakening,” Sugar revealed. “His naivety’s been given a whack over the head, thinking that he’s got things sold but then realising he’s amongst some real sharks out there. He’s gotta learn - he’s an apprentice.”
However, despite his bumpy start, Sugar is confident that Ambrose will grow into his role. “He hasn’t sold Canary Wharf yet, but he’ll get there,” he insisted.'

I still think that Kristina Grimes was robbed!

I still think that Kristina Grimes was robbed!

thanks for the info.. and 100% agree with above statement.. she was robbed

[Behemoth]

I agree about Kristina being robbed. You can view a bit of S3 on YouTube and she was a fantastic contestant and great at thinking on her feet.

Lee's poor presentation was down to Lucinda and Alex going on at him before his speach. Can't believe Michael wormed his way out of being fired again. He really is clinging by his fingertips.

I would like to see Lee and Lucinda as the final two even though I have no favourites left in the competition Alex and Helene are hopeless and spineless who are doing their best to avoid confrontation. Claire and Michael should have went weeks ago.

I don't think Lee was the right person to do the presentation. I think his speech can come across as quite garbled. Alex would have been much better.

[Chloe O'brien]

None of the remaining contestants have the quality that Kristina had last year she was robbed last year, this time it was Simon who was robbed.

I think it has to be Alex or Helene to go this week as they have been hiding under the Radar since week one and haven't pulled their finger out and done some serious work to prove they are the best candidate for the apprentice.

As much as we all love to hate Michael he is the Kate Hopkins of this series. Everyone hates him but can't bear to get rid of him. claires a bullying bitch who should have went weeks ago. Lee and Airy Fairy Lucinda to be the final two with Lee winning.

Just saw this on the BBC Homepage!..
It clashes with BGT don't it I think I will watch The Apprentice on BBC iPlayer...

Yessssss!

Michael is gone, justice has at last been served to slimey, liar and egotist.

If only Helene had gone too, I really thought it was going to happen...

Verdicts on the rest of them are mixed.

Lucinda, get the car right, babe - the name is on the badge!

Claire, good at selling medium priced products and works very hard.

Alex, sold an impossibly expensive car hire 4 times over, I was impressed. He has no personality, though.

Lee, should have managed Lucinda better. She needed help and was hung out to dry. He can take risks though, the expensive car was a gamble that paid off in the same way as the designer wedding dresses a couple of weeks ago. He should have thought of the team as a whole. The evening slot was a great place to sell the raffle tickets - what happened to them BTW?

Though it pains me to say it Alex and Claire for the final. Lucinda is a good manager but she flounders as a team member.

I wouldn't pick Lee, and you know what I am taliking about!

[Bryan]

I am so glad Micheal has gone, how he escaped firing for so long was beyond me!

Lucinda, bless her, she's such a sweet soul but totally useless! She may be a nice person, but she wouldn't last long working with Sir Alan! She needs a bit of a backbone and a bit of something about her, when the going gets tough Sir Alan needs someone who can get results, now go in the corner and cry and blame it all on others.

Saying that it didn't excuse the way she's been treated the past two weeks by Lee and Alex. With that raffle idea, it was clearly hers not Alex's! And she has no experience of sales, so why Lee left her alone is beyond me!

This year's bunch are near to useless, they're just big egos who try and make out to be next to brilliant. When I'm saying Claire to win, it just shows how bad the rest are.

I can't wait for next week..I love the interview show.. one of those guys rips the contestants to shreds..
