Da da da da da da da- THE APPRENTICE FINAL THREAD!

[BitOfFun]

Come and grab a space on the sofa- but bring nibbles, wine or cake. And take a punt on the outcome while you sign in: I'm guessing Susie...

Thank bigkids will open wine sharpish before anyone advises sobriety

HA Invisible Chin!

That's right, I had forgotten she lost the task where Melody got fired. I'm still disappointed on that as I would love to see Melody against Margaret!

So are they not announcing the winner until Dara's show? The way I am reading the stuff on BBC they are going to do the hiring at 10 and then go straight to Dara's show on BBC 1 to meet the winner and Lord Sugar et al.

I was surprised by how attractive helen was when she didn't have her hair scraped back.

I love the interviews,the highlight of the show for me.

Thats what they did last year tee, I assume it will be the same.

Is is safe to come out yet? We can share if you like. I'm not sure where I could hide him from dh anyway

I can only assume that Jim's CV trumped Melody's in the lying stakes.

Which is what they did, Had? Hired and went straight to Dara or held off the winner until the end of Dara?

Hired at 10pm then went to Dara tee

I think we find out before 11pm - I think theres an extra interviewy programme tagged on after the Finger. I hope so, I am so tired the world is doing alarming loop the loops.

bit torn though bbcnews 24 is captivating tonight.

'S ok tina, we can hide him at my place
Maybe we could work out some sort of timeshare arrangement?

True, Helen is attractive...not in the Liz bracket from the last series though. At least this time they haven't chosen candidates on how attractive they are as was seemingly the case last time!

Nearly time

I'm going to make my cup of tea now so I am ready to go.

Oh, cool, thanks Had. I am much too tired to make it to 11 unless You're Hired is very very interesting!

Well, I'm here.

But I'm not sure if I'm stopping.

DH is home and I feel I ought to do something togethery (not a euphemism) as we only see each otehr for about 17 minutes a week, and he's not an Apprentice fan.
