???

here is a comparision of Simon and Christina

[Carmenere]

Compare the answers to the last question. Very interesting and the reason that Christina should be the winner.

[LilyLoo]

Christina for me too. Agree the last answer would sway an employer easily.

[saadia]

Christina I think, she is very talented and direct. Simon is nice enough but he seems a bit lost sometimes.

[CatIsSleepy]

cristina i think. deserves it more, seems more driven and hard-working.
simon just seems like a bit of an eejit to me.

[princessbride]

simon for me, hes young and clever and it really would be the foundations for a great start in his life

[Manictigger]

Christina definitely. Simon seems to have had a privileged upbringing and just pissed it all away whereas Christina seems to have always worked hard and taken nothing for granted.

[princessbride]

do you think he pissed it away, i think he just lacked confidence, hes only young hasnt had the time tp prove himself in his life unlike christina

[ahundredtimes]

Oh definitely Simon. Kristina's boring and her surname is Grimes, fgs, no good at all. Simon's clever and nervy and a bit useless, I think he should.

[PandaG]

Agree with Carmenere. Christina talks about why she would be good forthe job, not what it would give her.

[princessbride]

yes but again i think those simple mistakes are down to age and maturity, i think give little simon a cahnce hes so desperate for it, just tto win would turn his life around

[ahundredtimes]

So do I. He should win. He might lose Sir Alan all his money OR he might just treble it. Will be most exciting for Sir Alan, wake him up a bit.

[princessbride]

exactly...i reckon hes more of a risk...christina is just one of those non risk takers who will just slot in but make no waves...waves are a good thing especially in a huge company like sir alan...cant see christina progressing, she will just enjoy the safeness

[ahundredtimes]

We are experts Princessbride. Who dares disagree with our fair and perceptive thinking? (MInes just based on the fact that her surname is Grimes obviously, I mean honestly).

[princessbride]

hahah i am basing mine on the fact i just never really warmed to her, didnt to him either but out of the two i just reckon hes got something she doesnt...time to make mistakes and learn from them, whereas shes running out of time to cock up

[Manictigger]

From what I remember of that profile programme, Simon's father and uncle are both millionaires and I think (judging by that last answer) Simon just wants to win to become rich like them. He may be bright but he's not exactly a brilliant businessman, he owns a house (which he rents out to make money) which he bought with inherited money and worked in the city but was made redundant because by his own admission he wasn't superbly good at the job. He just seems flakey and unfocused to me compared with Christina and I'm not convinced it's to do with age, I think it's to do with life experience and personality. In fact I think he showed the most talent in the trainer task when he wasn't doing businessy things and was just being creative.

[dollyk]

christina

[maisym]

Cristina!

[southeastastra]

why either of them are so eager to be alan sugar's runaround is beyond me.

[NoNoNoNo]

Christina, of course!!

[nickytwotimes]

christina! si is a hopeless yah.

[ahundredtimes]

no no no no not Christina. She's boring.

[TippiHedren]

Kristina.

[BrothelSprouts]

KRISTINA GRIMES

[Grrrr]

I'm with Carmenere, Siomn wants Sir Alan to make him a millionaire and Kristina wants to work for her salary, learning and hopefully being successful at the role she is given thereby making Sir Alan more money.

So I'd vote for Kristina.

Unfortunately I worry about the depressive effect that losing might have on Simon, he looks so sad/desperate at times.
