THE APPRENTICE IS ON NOW

Profiling the final five

OMG that doesn't look like Lorrraine

He is very small.

I can't believe Lorraine's transformation - she's washed her hair

thought

Lorraine looks like a different person

@ he is very small

'Special gift' is such crystal ball handwavy rubbish.

Much better hair now though. Don't know precisely about the colour but in general dying is the way to go.

Sorry J&H, I was trying not to lose the king-size packet of crisps I just stuffed down my neck.

So my answer is yeuch no!

From very mumsy to very ballroomy

She forgot to do her roots though...

Looooool

She is looking a bit more normal, she's lost the lipfinity...

I love Jo Brand - 'passionate'

James C bless.

Fair enough Poledra. Like I said, can't blame you

I reckon that a lot of working mums can identify with Lorraine. I was only off just under a year and my confidence went. I can't imagine how brave she must be to get back working after 10 years out and as a result of a failed marriage.

Uh-oh, there's pantsman dancing again in the final!

What I don't get, is that both Lorraine and Debra grew up elsewhere and neither of them have the trace of an accent (I'll deal with Lorraine's lapse in a mo ). How old was Lorraine in that pic outside her house in Ireland? 12, 13? Debra moved at 8. My mother left Ireland at 16 and after 48 years in London her accent is just as thick.

I do what Lorraine does and it's a standing joke at work that they can guess who I'm on the phone to by my accent so I get why that happened but what happened to it normally? And Debra? Odd but entertaining.

I sort of get the "mirroring" thing Lorrsine talks about, which would explain the accent shifts...

My accent changes a bit depending on who I'm talking to (but English is not my first language).

DH's greatest wish is to have my very Cockney uncle on my dad's side and my Irish aunts on my mother's side in the same room trying to talk to me at the same time. He thinks my head would explode

James' suit on The Apprentice You're Fired was just awful. Very Burton 1985.

I thought Debra looked amazing much much better.

Lorraine should have washed her hair for the interviews

at Yasmina going through. Kate is a little bit too smug so would like it if shwe didn't go through just to wipe the smirk off.

Debra looked fab in the after show and has an amazing figure. If I liked girls I definitely would

Is nobody a bit pissed off with Kate´s comment that her nightmare scenario is working with a bunch of women? I thought this was a very telling crack in her ever so perfect persona.

Also her visible fury last week when Lorraine pointed out that although Kate was obviously perfect for a presenter´s role, it would be nice to use Howard as it was a surprise that he came across well on camera.

100% with you on that NT... Really got me, I've managed many teams, men, women, different cultures different religions, there is good, bad, emotional and bitchy in all.

How anyone can make such a narrow minded offensive comment

Up to that point didn't mind Kate but now... go Yasmina go!!

Anniek, why has noone else picked up on this? Is it normal to be misoginist?
