I agree Dittany.

I liked Ellie A LOT. She was a woman who relied on her brain and personality and experience rather than being a backstabber or thinking all she had to do was look pretty, like so many females on the apprentice.

And Tom, hubba bubba!!!!!!!!

Ellie would have got a chance to be pm if she had been a man.

Jim is going to be in real trouble as soon as he gets taken back into the boardroom - whether he deserves to go that week or not - as he has well and truly marke dhis card with everyone on the other side of the table - rude to Karren, Surrallen not keen on his posturing and manipulating to get out of the boardroom (can't/won't face up to responsibilities?) and Nick is not keen either...

Italiangreyhound · 03/06/2011 11:30

Agree, Jim has been so keen to avoid the boardroom that when he finally does get in there that will be it! IMHO.

I think all the men except Tom will probably go!

Italiangreyhound · 03/06/2011 11:37

It's a shame because I don't think there has been any task where they have all excelled except the first one led by Melody, where they did do very well.

Anyone want to suggest their final 4?

I think the final 4 will just be Tom and the best of the women, which in my opinion is Susie (but yes, I have gone off her, she is very pouty and annoying but she does have some umph), Melody (who is also a bit annoying but has been very good), and Zoe (who I think has come into her own a bit of late).

The only 'wild' card in my opinion is Leon, who is a real mix of ditherer and genius! Maybe I am being unfair but he kind of remind me of Simon Ambrose from series 3 www.giggleclip.com/view/3807/simon-the-bouncer.html who as we all might remember went on to win!

yep, but now he has to carry on doing it - looking ever more desperate each time - as he knows he needs to not be taken back in....

MintyMoo · 03/06/2011 12:50

I want Edna to go, she really irritates me, as do Natasha and Helen.

I suspect the only men to potentially reach the final 4 will be Leon and Tom. I suspect Glenn will go, he was very lucky not to have lost the last task. I also think Jim is a condemned man, unless he pulls something spectacular out of the bag he's a goner. The minute he goes in the Boardroom he's gone unless someone else has done something so terrible that they're fired instead.

Leon should have gone in week 2 purely for that dithering but he does seem to have some potential. I find him very irritating though.

Tom deserves to stay in towards the end (plus he's hot so I want him to stay) BUT I think he may go soon if he's not in a winning team. I feel really sorry for him, he's shown himself to be astute but Felicity and Vince both ignored him to their detriment.

It looks like Tom and Jim are still together next week which is a shame, I think Surralan should re-mix the teams - I think some of the stronger candidates in Logic are being let down and some of the weaker candidates in Venture are riding on the success of others.

I think Susie and Melody may well be in the final 4 but it's a tough call this year, no-one's majorly stood out compared with the last series where Stella, Liz, Jamie etc all shone. And the year before with Kate and Yasmina who stood out early on.

Italiangreyhound · 03/06/2011 13:35

MintyMoo completely agree.

Team re-mix needs to be. Has Jim always been on the loosing team too?

I would like Edna, Naasha, Jim and Glenn out of there but the last one is slightly funny to watch. Did anyone else spot a rye (you'll pay for that) smile when Zoe was giving Glenn an ear-bashing by phone on the last task? he almost seemed to relish it, the smile said 'bring it on!' (IMHO!)

Italiangreyhound · 03/06/2011 13:36

Natasha not Naasha!

Catmilk · 03/06/2011 13:42

But we are at the mercy of the editing. For all we know Tom has made some sleazy pass at one of the girls, or said something racist (probably not, but) but they won't show it now because they want us to start rooting for him.

Italiangreyhound · 03/06/2011 14:13

Why do you think they want us to root for Tom?

MintyMoo · 03/06/2011 15:02

In the first episode Tom got embarrassed (he'd wandered in to the girls' room by mistake) and hastily assured the girls they'd never see him in there again. Aww.

And on Weds episode they showed Tom in his underpants. Pink with blue lines if I remember correctly. I'm going to have to go to i player and re-watch so I will come back and correct myself if wrong Wink

He doesn't strike me as a lothario type.

I'm amazed no-one's 'Big Brothered' the Apprentice yet with extra shows about how they live in the house. 'It's daaay 36 in the Apprentice House...'

Jim has only been on the winning team once, in week 3. Tom is now the only candidate who hasn't been on the winning team at least once. I want to give him a hug.

In his odd underwear of course Grin

MintyMoo · 03/06/2011 15:08

I stand corrected, blue with pink lines, tight and dodgy Grin

My internet browser crashed the 3rd time I flicked i player back to the image.

Now I'm creepy and weird. Time to munch chocolate and behave myself!

I also think Suralan will have Tom as team leader next week. Thing is, despite not having won a single task no-one has brought him in to the Boardroom yet so it seems people don't think he's not pulling his weight.

muminthemiddle · 03/06/2011 15:39

Which one is Edna please?

MintyMoo · 03/06/2011 16:15

Edna

She did the pitch in episode 2.. with the unnecessary dominatrix gloves

Italiangreyhound · 03/06/2011 16:19

minty you are obsessed, step away from the TV set or Iplayer!

MintyMoo · 03/06/2011 16:24

I've closed I player I promise

I've banned myself from anymore until next Wednesday.

See this is what happens when the Beeb splits Dr Who in to two seasons Grin

muminthemiddle · 03/06/2011 16:38

Thanks Mintyx
