    He pointed to Joe at the very end of the previous show, lots of mentions about it on twitter and the tabloids over the last few days.

    Still think Joe has this, as has been backed as the 'somewhat unlikely' favorite since day one. Vana has more added value as an employee, but is still difficult to call 100% for sure.

    Some more factoids:
    The UK plumbing market is undergoing a mini boom currently due to relaxed planning laws on minor home improvements such as extensions and upgrades etc. Plmlico is forecasting t/o is £30m this coming tax year but only has 205 tradesmen with 95 support staff.

    Vana's idea has more global reach, lower costings and greater revenue potential. But has lost some IP already as the concept is 'out there' and as such easy for any deve team to build a similar style gaming-dating type (free) app.

    I'm feeling so sorry for Joseph. He never had a name in mind and didn't pick the stronger team with people like Richard. The renewable thing is definitely a goer but I don't know of he'll be able to convince Lord Sugar

    30,000 - 40,000 for the app is nowhere near enough for what she's looking to do.

    Also, why did Vana not cost her business plan fully before going on the apprentice, she seems to just have an idea and no real plans.

    Vana is fairly convincing. I think there's definitely room for her app. I think she should have aimed it towards older people (who maybe have already been married) who want to take things slow.

    Vana killed it with her presentation

    I seen that and thought she had lost it right there. He seems to have come around to the idea though.

    didn't warm to Vana, but she should have won by a mile.

    Joseph is going nowhere with his plan.
