It's a wet lettuce battle off- The Apprentice 2017 Final

[Dillite2]

Guess who's back?

I am yet to watch the interviews although I did read what you have all said about the interviews. I will try an catch up eventually.

My brother and his girlfriend are visiting today, hopefully they don't plan on staying and I will be able to watch the final with you all. But if I don't, at least I will have a thread to come and read tomorrow.

See you all at 9!

He didn't even say you're hired.

What a load of cock.
He should’ve invested in neither and kept his fish!!

I feel Sarah has good reason it took her so long but didn't want to use family as it would be seen as a weakness

Sadly

Er, dosh

Do adults eat sweets
I do. But looking at the contents of that box and the jar, I’d just get them at the supermarket pic-nmix counter. And if someone were to send me them I’d be disappointed because I’d want things I could t buy very easily for less than £2. They aren’t exactly speciality confectionary. Don’t think either deserved to win.

What did James say that was disrespectful to Sarah?

Would have been funnier if he had decided to invest in neither

I thought the way he spoke to her was really rude.

I love the sweets from my childhood but prefer going to the retro shops and getting a quart of my favourites

I must have missed that but can imagine. Arrogant young man.

In these health conscious times - low GI etc. - it seems like a funny thing to be focussing on. Like an unhealthy version of Graze.

Oh dear I sound like an old lady!!!

Anticlimax

With obesity crippling the NHS and cancer and dimentia rates rising seems backwards to invest in junk food.

Perhaps he needs to bring back the job offer instead

James tried to plead his case by putting Sarah down, especially when he mocked that her business had only turned over £400,000. Kind of backfired on him when she replied 'that's £400,000 more than your business has done'

Agree with preferring the novelty of an old fashioned sweet shop and paper bags but online is the future

Not sure about the obesity crisis etc

The sweets are supposed to be a treat - not a daily delivery

Agree with lots that's been said here. I love sweets but would buy them in Wilko or a supermarket for a fraction of that price.

I wish Sarah had said she'd had a baby/child in the past 7 years hence not being quicker to further her business. Agree it would probably be seen as a weakness

Ah here, no You're Hired moment.

When I watched the final five episode Sarah said she had a baby unexpectedly, and he was a gorgeous little fella from what I remember.

But I'm still not spending that kind of money on sweets.

James is not credible. He is a little fish in a huge pond who missed the fact that “First Tier” means lowest rung.

Sarah is a great candidate but anything ending in -eye is a D&V medication.

I wish I had 250k to throw away when I’m indecisive.

Alana's business is called Ridiculously Rich. My friends cousin is one of her brand ambassadors.

Ricky Martin gave James a huge help with the nod about cyber security

Rainbow get your cousin to tell her that her website's useless.

Is that where the cyber security aspect came from then Slarty? not James's idea at all? in which case see my comment up above. Sounds very much like James will end up first tier and an Apprentice to Ricky.

I'd have loved to see a Michaela and Elizabeth final with Sugar going into business with both of them

Why on earth would anyone hawk Alana's cheap cakes in markets? Why not just start up your own traybakes buiness

James talked about cyber security in interview last week. Ricky was right to point out the focus but tbh I'm not in recruitment and it seemed fairly obvious.
