Now that it's over, who prefers the "business partner" prize?

I think it was a good idea in theory but has been executed so poorly. It's all very well telling Helen that if what was on offer was the original prize she would've walked it, but the tasks this series could've easily been implemented in any previous one. Surely tasks should cater towards building a business plan? Granted I have no idea how they'd do that, but at least with the job offer you could easily convince yourself that the tasks had a large bearing on who Lord Sugar hired. There's just no hiding it this time. The series has been great entertainment as it always is, but I can't help but feel the whole process was completely redundant. So yeah, was just wondering what everyone else thought.
On a side note, did anyone find the interviews more boring this year? They're usually my favourite episode but I didn't really feel like we saw much at all.

The two younger people were very poor interviewers and that elevator stand at the door guy was pathetic.
Where was the little beardy man this year that took Baggs to task Bordan someone
I enjoyed the squirming through the interviews stage but this year's interviews were nowhere near as enjoyable as last series. I don't think they were all that tough and inquisitive to be honest. Remember Stuart Baggs moment of last year at the interview stage, where was the equivalent of that this year?
Plus you have to remember they ditched 2 of last year's interviewers for the 2 new younger blokes tonight who for me were a waste of time. Absolutely useless! The interviews definetely need to be a lot more tougher again.
back to a regular job that has no cache and they leave after 3 months please
They were personable and had a sense of humour. Especially the one who grinned when Jim thanked him for calling him a good salesman. Was he the same one who laughed at Helen's 'joke'?
I don't enjoy watching the candidates be torn to shreds over technicalities. Claude was my least favourite interviewer for that reason - the rest of them pointed out genuine concerns and observations but not in a vicious, sneering way. I mean, the most enjoyable moment was Margaret taking Jim to task over his use of clichés. She didn't butcher him over it, but the point was still made.
