The Apprentice...

[spaced]

I think Sir Alan showed us last night that he does have a soft spot for Sayed. Im in the minority, but I want him to win it.

[sarah_03uk]

<PRE>I thought for a moment Sir Alan was going to fire Syed. He sort of left a message with him that if he doesnt buck up he's gonna be next to go. I hope the last 3 are Ansell, Ruth and Paul x</PRE>

[Englishbird]

Sorry, I still think Syed is a tw@t. But yes, Sir Alan does have a soft spot for him, but I think he's running out of lives. Ansell or Ruth to win.

paul is a knob. He thinks he's the man, but hes just a fat waster, who cant handle not selling and being up there with everyone else.

[SizzleSquid]

i think ansell has been a bit too much in the background for me, he' good, but i dont think he's personality is as strong as the others lol..ruth is good, sayed, good, can blag it more, paul is quiet and professional, not sure if he can cut it in big sales..ruth or sayed to win.

[Englishbird]

Don't you think Ansell has just played a very good game? I'm not even sure if he's been on a losing team?

[Englishbird]

Sorry, meant to put, don't think he's ever been taken into the board room.

[rhona_j]

I'm sure I remember seeing something just recently where Sir Alan admitted to liking Sayed, thought he was a character. But watching in the boardroom you can tell a mile off he likes him. But could you imagine him working for you, you'd get two words into telling him someting and he'd butt in, you'd never get a sentence finished.

[jules1968]

I would rather have a go getter like sayed than someones like Tuan who stands back from everything. Ok he's a tw@t but at least he has the drive! Ruth or Paul to win without a doubt!

[bellasasha]

i cant stand sayed, i think sir alan has lost his marbles!! the guy is a ponce....loves himself!!

[zipadeedodah]

After the last couple of tasks I really dislike Paul - came accross as quite nasty to Sharon I think it was. I quite like Ruth, hope she'll win. I think Ruth was right how she summed up both Sayed and Tuan last night - Sayed does have the passion, but I would say he was too difficult to control. Agree with SizzleSquid about Ansell. Forgot about Michelle - if she's on the losing team, she'll be out next. Looking forward to next week though, the task looks fun!

[bruno Zigurd]

We know Alan relatively well, and he hinted at liking Syed, which is always a point in the right direction! Syed is an arrogant arse but at least he speaks up, although too much. I would like to see the final three as Ruth, Paul and Syed. I am glad Tuan has gone, he was a bit wet for the boardroom!

[Lorcan]

I'm actually a fan of Syed too, but I doubt he'll survive a day of interviews. The interviews were the undoing of Paul Torrisi - last year's Syed whatever he may claim to the contrary.

Paul (Tulip) seems to show signs of irritation when thing aren't going well. As he hasn't been in yet I'd like to see him in the boardroom.

[sense4all]

I think Paul and Syed would try to lie to God, they are daft, amoral, rude and show very little respect for others! I think Ruth thinks she is a chosen one already: I would not like that opinion to be reinforced, so by default my vote goes to Ansell. Unless he behaves badly in the next couple of weeks. Meet me by the bridge for further discussions ..... spaced .....spaced ......spaced! I don't know where you are ....... Spaced.

[SarCaustic]

Syed is arrogant and I do often find myself cringing when he's speaking in the boardroom, but I think it should be him and Ruth in the final 2. Ansell deserved to go on the advertising task and Paul is quite arrogant and seems to think he's the best. Syed could win, if he changed his attitude - he has a habit of talking himself into trouble rather than out of it. I think Ruth should (will win)

[The Prince]

I think they are all dire - not a patch on last years bunch.

I wouldn't dream of paying any of them �100k.

At least Ansell and Ruth can sell though so clearly one of them will win.

Syed does not stand a chance - he is there purely for tv.

[mcb123]

sayed will stay to the end because he makes good tv, they did it last year with that irritating red haired woman, i dont know wholl win though, they all seem pretty useless to me!

[NikkiB]

Yes, Syed is a Grade-A moron 90% of the time but as Alan Sugar says, occasionally he has these flashes of genius. I cringed every time he mentioned his East End roots in order to sell a petrol can. I chuckled viciously when he thought a small railway flyover was Wandsworth Bridge. And on the latest show when AS accused him of panicing - "Yes you are, Syed. You're panicing right now!" I couldn't help but howl with laughter. Car crash tv at it's best.

But having said that, he had more nouse than Tuan, who couldn't see that potential house-buyers were merely jerking him around. Syed does seem to have an inbuilt flair for selling. Trouble is, he scores too highly on the t**t-o-meter as well.

[jenky]

is this the sayed who:

bought hundreds of chickens that had to be thrown away for the pizza task without checking first,
lied to the only buyers he had all day in the car selling task with the showroom manager having to step in,
leched like a loon over the poor girl in the changing room in the clothes selling task,
turned up late when team leader selling those petrol cans yet had to be let off to keep the series watchable?

If it is, then I must have missed the 'moments of genius' but he is fun to watch.

[hereicome]

Sayed is being kept on for a few extra weeks purely for TV value. Earlier in the series Jo was in the board room about 4 times before she was fired, probably because she was entertaining to watch, Sayed is the same. I know a job is at stake but at the end of the day its still a TV show, here to entertain. Ansell or Ruth will win.

[milly143]

If I know who the last 2 are, am I allowed to say or would you all rather I kept quiet?
