For me its Bianca. I loved her in her audition. I did find her quite bland and UTR for the first half of the series, but she has really grown on me since about Week 7, with her good PMship, good pitches, good negotiation and just being a reliable investment.
I really don't mind. I've always liked Mark but Bianca came over well in the interviews, and she does have a great idea. They've been churning out the same colour of tights for the last 60 years or more (with slight variations). If I was LS I'd back them both.
It's such a random final 2 but Bianca is the one I think has the better business plan and I think she's been a bit underrated throughout the process and probably a better performer than Mark
Mark has sold well and acomplished the most out of the two of them. At the end of the day its about the business models, and mark has eexperience and knows how to make a lot of money with his plan.
I dont really get Biancas business model, surely people can go online and buy any dreamable shade of tights imaginable. Shes made some of the biggest mistakes of the season and she really cant take any criticism.
Your obviously a white person or a man, as you CAN'T buy skin coloured hosiery for black women, it doesn't exist
I am both lol. And hold my hands up I dont know a huge amount about tights. But I thought every shade under the sun must be available, especially online.
Its like shoes, women can wear any colour they like men get the choice of black or brown.

The tights isn't actually a new idea, and I've seen it done before. She must really have some sort of incredible USP. Whether it's combining it into shapewear or at a certain denier as well, I really don't know, but it's been done before. In fact I'm pretty sure Wolfords or Jonathon Aston have a done range before, although they're at the premium end of the market.
Mark's business plan has definitely been done before and can be easily accomplished if you know A) how search rankings are ordered and/or throw enough money at it. I heard an advert on and American radio station this afternoon offering exactly what Mark was offering and more (although they had some serious restrictions as they design, host and market your site all for one fee).
I'd like Bianca to win, even if it meant me eating humble pie about him not hiring a competitor from an ethnic (not religious) minority.
Mark all the way, especially against a poor opponent like Bianca. It was so nearly Mark v Daniel and that would have been amazeballs.
Daniel versus Mark would indeed have been an exciting final.
However I've been won around by Bianca in the space of about two episodes. I thought going by the earlier weeks she was quite a weak contender, but I've changed my tune now and am seeing things differently. I've surprised myself.
So I've voted for Bianca in this poll.
Mark's idea isn't even his own idea, and is simply bloody boring. No imagination or creativity there from how it seems. Internet marketing? Thousands of people do that.
Bianca realising she is a human & not a robot swung it for me tonight. Liked her early on in the process then grew a bit bored. Now back to backing her;-) Looks like it'll be a brilliant final:)
Bianca. She comes across as a reasonable and logical person, plus she was quite likeable tonight and her business plan seems like something she's passionate about.
But I just can't warm to Mark at all. I tried since I had a feeling he was getting this far but I always find arrogance so off-putting. I'd be surprised if the show wants to promote that sort of attitude, constantly putting down your colleagues any chance you can get, to their faces and behind their backs.
If you told me before this episode that it was a Mark Vs Bianca final 2, I would have said I wanted Mark to win but Biancas business plan really impressed me so I find myself wanting her to win.
Marks business plan is pretty good too but since the market around it is so crowded already, I think he will find it difficult to differentiate himself enough.
Regardless of his occasional slithery ways (and I don;t blame him at all for it- the Apprentice is a dog eat dog show), for me Mark is by far the best candidate from this series. I genuinely think there is a gap between him and everyone else.
Whether or not his business plan will trump the already lauded much vaunted plan from Bianca is another thing,

She is a strong, accomplished, independent woman!

Mark has shown himself to be a slimy manipulative git all the way through, and LS would be daft to take him on as a business partner

me. think he may struggle to control his nerves in the final though

I don't think that Lord S is particularly excited about either.
He can afford 250K.
I really really don't like him.
