The interview one is always really good!
I predict Alex and Lee will get utterly destroyed but Claire will hold her own.
Lucinda will just look upset/confused and Helene will scrape through.

claire will come second in this series
to someone much more boring and lame
No way!
Helene must go. The best thing about the interviews is that SAS never takes any notice of what the interviewers have told him. His mind is always already made up by this stage.
I reckon Helene is deffo out, maybe Lucinda, maybe Alex.
Claire vs Lee
in the final
Claire will win fo shure!
Someone at work
used to work with Helene and says she used to be 'a right slag'
Hopefully she'll get grilled on that
in the interviews.
I've heard she does
and the answers she gives are so disgusting that it makes Lee thinks he's a Pterodactyl.
I'm seeing a Lucinder v Claire final
Lee's good but his Pterodactyl impression will put off the interviewers.
I think Lucinda will flake really badly in the interviews
Claire will probably be able to bullshit her way through, especially if they're asking SAS-related facts like last year. I predict a Claire/Alex final.
^this
I think Alex might win it too.
Why did
Michael get fired :o(?
cos he was shit.
During the sportscar selling task
he decided that he'd pitch the Ferrari he was supposed to be selling sessions in in a Notting Hill street market. He was supposedly the team leader, but Helene and (mostly) Claire did all of the work, with Claire closing about 95% of sales. He ran out of bullshit in the boardroom, and SAS was clearly bored of his sulky little boy act, thank fuck!
wasn't this last week?
I remember half-watching something called The Apprentice: The Final. Was that just a preview?
The Apprentice: The Final...Five.
as in, 5 people left
it's on!
Fluent English!!!
:D
made me lol
he's far too obsessive over his age. does him no favours.
HE'S 24
DO NOT FOTGET
HE IS 24
lol
at two people who interviewed him saying "i was running a company two years before i was 24, that's no excuse"
and can lucinda die please? "i have a quirky dress sense tee hee i'm lovely" jesus i hope she cries
Lucinda reminds me of a girl I lived with for a year at Uni.
Not especially happy memories...
She reminds me of Bridget Jones
She wasn't completely useless, just obviously far better as a lone rider.
I love you.
That was brilliant
"Advanced skills" haha.
Why does Helene swear in every sentence she makes?
I don't know why but it annoys me a lot.
its horrible
really uncooth
That guy is such a cunt.
I could not spend more than 30 seconds in a room with him without punching him in the face repeatedly.
The interviewer I mean.
interviewing guy currently?
i think he's okay. although he didn't make lucinda cry, should've pushed her a little bit further.
Yep, one currently (or currently when you wrote it)
Every year I watch it I feel like punching him.
I want to see the nimby wimby aromatherapist bleed
Yeah me neither.
Never mind punch, I'd have to elbow him and the rest of them in the face several times.
GOBSHITES
LOL
why cant lucinda speak properly
and why the fuck can he not spell
"What does that mean you're disappointed?"
Says the man who's grilling him about his poor English.
:D
LEE
LIED! OMG! ABOUT HIS UNIVERSITY EDUCATION! OMG!
LEE MCQUEEN IS CONCERNED
Lee is getting eaten alive
rookie mistakes x 2
Surely rule number one of lying on a CV
is "make sure it's nothing anyone can check".
Sea of Success
Ocean of Opportunity
this is pretty intense
I think Lee, Alex and Lucinda have been destroyed. Would be surprised if any of them went through, although reckon Alex might sneak it. Claire and Helene have done alright, survived at least, haven't been ripped apart.
Lee's really fucked up badly.
Lee could turn it round for himself if he plays Sir Alan the right way. Sir Alan does seem a bit of a sucker for a "look how I've done without any education" story...
Karen Brady seemed to like Lucinda so maybe she'll fight for her.
I hate Karen Brady
smarmy bitch.
You would, though
"nnneeed
to me doesn't necessarily come into it"
every time lucinda comes on the screen with her fucking face which is a combination of 'caring' and smug, that permanent stupid little smile and her kOoKy dress sense (since when was colour-co-ordination kooky oh yeah never) and her fucking stupid little everything i just want to punch the screen until my fists bleed and bleed and bleed
Thank god someone agrees
I hate how she always has her head at that condescending patronising angle.
<3
trut' so pure
Lucinda is such a strange and frightening woman.
My suspicions of this were confirmed when I found out that she currently earns more than what this prospective job offers.
they all exaggerate what they earn
when you're a freelancer / contractor, it's very easy to give a false send of what you earn.
I'm guessing Lucinda gets about £400 a day, maybe a little less. That's technically £100,000 / year, but no way does she turn that over.
My thing with Lucinda is she does seem massively incapable in certain areas.
Like not being able to use a computer, for example.
And I think there's too many areas of incapability there for me to ever think her worth giving a job...
I'm waiting for Lee to come in wearing a hi-viz jacket and asking if anyone's seen Wellard
wink!

Haaaaaaaaaa!
"Very interesting to hear a lady's view".
That was in no way patronising...
gawd
i lurve da skarey musik
alex n claire innit
Alex is a
backstabber. I like him generally though. Claire & Lee I reckon will go through.
If I was an employer that would have put me off Alex massively.
Me too. A pretty bastard is a bastard all the same.
i don't think lee will now
claire definitely, alex mayyybeee, helene perrrhhaappps
alex
please stop talking. you're ruining it.
nah, he's come alive finally
He's through fo'sho.
Lee's my favourite though
so I just want him to go through, even though the lying thing was a bad decision.
Me too.
I think he will.
This is seven flavours of awesome
That Suralan clone getting a bit of a verbal slap from the boss in the interviewer feedback = LOL
Claire has this sewn up tbh
* barring a typical fuckup in the final task
christ
they all look on the verge of tears. This is pretty extreme tv.
SCORE
LUCINDA IS OUT!
next: helene? too bland? lee? too lie-ey? alex? too backstabby? ohhh the tensssiooonnn
Think we all seem agreed Claire is through..
oh my god
don't sack claire
please
SCORE!
O M G
omg
a twist
all four in the final
wow
i just remembered it's a tv show. nerves returned to normal.
Well, that was a fucking anticlimax!
BYE BYE ZANY LADY
WHAT?!
Bending the rules?!
I'm worried that I find Helene a bit sexy there
didn't see that coming
completely staged.
I'd have fired her for that outfit
wholly inappropriate
french prossie xcore
i do find her a bit attractive.
I know this is wrong.
FOUR WAY FINAL
OH MY GAWD
OH MY GAWD
HE'S BROKEN IN HALF!
[/JR]
^ <3
If they don't call it a Fatal Fourway
I will be disappointed.
YOU PAY FOR THE WHOLE BOARDROOM
BUT YOU'LL ONLY NEED THE EDGE
COME ON LEE
with lucinda gone, he's the most likable one left
Yeah,
Lucinda was likeable in an odd sort of way, she always came off as the victim in any arguments.
I think I liked Lee more than Lucinda.
I sort of liked Lucinda but I'd have hated to work with her.
imagine working for claire
Your point is a good one.
I wouldn't mind working for Lucinda but working with/having to manage her would do my nut in.
The reverse is true of Claire - I think I could work with her so long as she wasn't my boss.
I think working with or for any of them
would be terrible
I dunno. Lee's likable enough
and Alex and Helene'd just be quite bland really - neither good nor bad.
actually Lee is ok
aprt from that bloody wink
...;)
I would want him to do the reverse pterodactyl for me each morning as a motivator.
Me and my mum were 'awwww' ing at
Lee and Alex.
Alex ftw. I don't overly like him, but he wants to win so much.
As for Lee, i know he lied, but he's obviously embarrassed about his past, and i wanted to give him a hug. Aw.
I'm such a fucking pansy.
And claire is just badger #2,
which is a bit dull. She's good, i'll just be disappointed if she wins.
Badger didn't win though
She had a murder mystery party on Tower Bridge! Sugar's face as one of the jobbing actors tried to engage him in some 'in character' dialogue is probably my favourite moment in the show.
