Fear not, my APPRENTICE friends!

[dillite]

You shall not be without your leader tonight.

Who could forget Stuart Baggs! (RIP)

I'm so going to look that up on YouTube!

The girls weren't trying to kill each other last night. Was it because the scary one left? I thought the 2 dog gym ones did a lovely job.

Anissa complaining that she ‘hadn’t been given an opportunity’ really riled me. Of course you have! You just didn’t take it...

I think the result was right. I really warmed to Elizabeth and thought she did the right thing refunding customers - it clearly showed in the subsequent sales!

Creepy face (James) to go next week.

it was crazy how the homeowners apparently had gardens full of dog shit and yes £100 in notes!
Must have been a set up surely

And that much to clear your dog poo? Get your kids to do it for extra pocket money!

Rocks Yes, series 1 was very sweary!

I'd be out in the first 2 minutes if you really came swear.

Elizabeth definitely went up in the estimation this week. Elizabeth and Joanna failed to secure one of the contracts because the client was unhappy about Joanna ‘s lack of interest in the dogs . Elizabeth didn’t throw Joanna under the bus by blaming her for this , she simply told her teammates that they came ‘ a close second’ and basically just got on with it.

^^ yes.
Thought Elizabeth was wonderful this week, especially not dropping Joanna in it.
Thought they might have gotten a special mention from Claude about how well they worked together.
IMO, it was Elizabeth who won this task for the team.

Creepy face (James) to go next week.
Poot, I've just Sat through an episode of Grizzly Tales about a ventriloquist making things from other children...it looked like James to a T!!

Who do people currently think will win? At the moment I'm leaving towards Sarah but Jade and Michaela seem possible too

Love Elizabeth but I doubt she'll win

Not keen on any of the male candidates this year at all!

Bushra annoys me sometimes and I don't think Joanna is as strong as most of the others.

Thoughts?

I honestly can't imagine any of them winning, all of them appear equally inadequate.

@dillite Sugar can't do that, can he?!

Agree that this isn't a great bunch though

I would love Elizabeth to win. I'm warming to micheala too.

I love Elizabeth too, I wonder if Michaela could be a surprise winner as she seems the least Apprentice-y of the lot.

I can only see Sarah winning this. I think Michaela is great and would make a perfect 'Karen' in the future as her observations of the other contestants are usually spot on, but not sure she's got the confidence in herself to get through the final.

Elizabeth, arghh! She's a nightmare.

I love Elizabeth

I think Jade is a little too quiet.

I agree Elizabeth has some v irritating tendencies BUT I think she's very "real" & if I had to go for a beer with any of them I'd choose her.

I think I'm going to be able to watch in real time this week. Which will be novel - not having to try avoid spoiling it for myself!!

I hope Elizabeth doesn't go home

I thought Sarah was horrible. Bushra clearly objected to the name Crusader but was overruled. Imagine trying to sell something to a Latin American with the name Conquistador and you would get the idea.

Did anyone see Lord Sugar at the end, inviting candidates to apply for the new series? He seemed so friendly and sweet. Heart eyes.

Michaela is so fierce! I hope she wins. Or Elizabeth.
