The Apprentice UK week 9

Elmo

So was he right?

Lorraine (She is too old)
Howard (Steady Eddie, boring)
or
Kate (She is One Trick Pony)

OR
THE OTHER TEAM

None of them are worthwhile, I think all the good ones have gone.

I don't think Howard should have gone, I thought he would have least gotten through to the interviews ahead of Lorraine.

He was certainly very popular on You're Fired. Both he and Margaret Mountford got several rounds of applause.

So happy for James to survive and get a rare opportunity to enjoy a prize. And he's the last man standing. Who saw that coming?

Did I see it correctly that three people are fired next week btw? It's my first year watching The Apprentice...shame on me...

Lorraine should've gone. Though she does seem to be on Sir Alan's wavelength...he hit the nail on the head when he said that she consistently turns around halfway through the task and claims they've made a mistake. It looks good on a TV show, but it's not very effective in the business world. Please, if there's any Lorraine supporters here, tell if she's gotten one constructive result this series.

Debra needs to go....she infuriates me to no end. She has this sort of smug look on her face all the time.........

Also, what was up with Howards nose in the boardroom. Looked like he had a deviated septum or something.

Elmo

James is next to go I would say. But all of them should be fired and Alan Sugar should realise he is left with the worst of a bad lot.

Absolutely shocked last night when they said Debra was 23.

She looks about mid 30's.

I suppose her age goes some way to explain her bullishness.

Yeah I was shocked too. Also thought that James looked a lot older than 31!

I think it is her very sharp features as well. She always seems unhappy and angry which also play a part.

She is just a miserable cow. I too was surprised that she is so young and it does explain things a bit - but my guess is that she will still be a miserable cow when she is 30, 40, 50 ....

I think that Yasmeena is the only substantial candidate left at the moment. I never thought Lorraine deserved the level of scorn that she got, but she became a pain in the arse going on and on about her instincts. I think Margaret realises that she created a bit of a monster with her Cassandra remark!
James is great fun, but way too rough around the edges. I am stunned that he is still in the competition. They definitely don't weed them out in order of merit. He should have been fired before now.
I think that Kate is okay, but a bit light. She was so silly with her comment to Lorraine last night. Lorraine basically said that Howard was a natural and looked great on TV, "better than either of us", and Kate took it personally. At the start of the show, they showed her putting on her make-up. She was unrecognisable.

There should be some fireworks next week - looking forward to it!

Tbh Howard was just boring. He played it safe the whole way through the contest and Sugar doesn't like people like that. He prefers candidates like Lorraine, Debra and James - people who have some potential but who are also potentially disastrous.

Even though she should have been fired ages ago, I have finally started to like Debra. She had a great week this week, and stuck up for herself much better than Ben did last week. But I've said since Week 3 that Yasmina should win, and I'm still hoping she will. She's had 3 wins as PM, which must be a record. I get the feeling Alan Sugar doesn't particularly like her though.
