Have I missed something? Where's the over-excited 'Prentice Final tonight thread?

[funnypeculiar]

Place your bets here....

LOL hope she got good materity pay

i'm really shocked he didn't pick claire

wonder if sir alan feels he had his fingers burnt a bit when michelle dewsbury left after only a short while so is avoiding a female winner

have you seen a v. pregnant Saira on that kids programme Beat the Bosses?

I'm not being funny, but since doing 'The Apprentice', he's had to sell Amstrad.

Could there be a connection? [shocked]

He was pretty rotten to ole' Lucinda. Still, I couldn't stand Claire's runnaway gob.

yeah, by the really dodgy asian chap, the one who was always getting caught out. actually rather dashing and handsome, i forget his name, but an absolute liar.

But you have all missed the point.

It is the apprentice.

Clare is a fully paid up business woman.

Lee is learning.

Next time I want a job, remind me to lie about my qualifications on my CV

Anyone else think Claire and Simon have clearly been shagging? It looked like he kissed her on the lips during the boardroom bit and they were exchanging properly coy looks...

ooh, he's lovely, leave him alone
still thought claire would win tho

NNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOO. Siralan is stupid indeed.

Karren Brady will have to give her a job now

yes but NAB Lee is thick. You need good raw materials even if you are going to shape them yourself

got to be able to fit with his personality though. He probably couldn't cope with her runaway mouth. Shame though

Good to see Helene holding her hands up to being a moody cow. (BBC2)

hehehe really odd but i said to DH that Simon looks familur to me, low and behold, his from my town.

Lucinda for me. Too 'zany' apparently.

I am not sure Alan is academic and Lee clearly has something.

I am really quite shocked by the decision. I would never ever have guessed Lee would win. I thought it was a two horse race tonight between Alex and Claire.

I loved Lucinda.

Yup, but she made the mistake of oooh, being slightly, different. Unforgivable. Different, but still good.

i missed the last 10 minutes. has Lee won??

yep

It was a shit reason for firing Lucinda.

Someone told me they think I'm exactly like Lucinda.
Which is totally doing my head in tbh (I don't even OWN a beret)

But do you have a matching hat and shoes at least?

And a slightly patronishing smile?

That all said, I still think she should have won. I hate the idea you have to be a hard faced harridan or wide boy or cheesy grin merchant to win.

I think she was different in a good way.
