Has the Radio Times given away the final 4?

Their cover the other week only had 4 contestants on it- all of which are still in it. Surely they can't have been that careless?

    Better to put it as a spoiler in case people don't want to know.

    Nah! They posted something on the cover saying "Just because they're on the cover, doesn't mean they've made the final".

    i think it was Helen, Suzie, Tom and Jim on the cover.

    I think there was Tom, Helen, Susan and Jim?

    There was also a line on the cover below the pics of the four claiming that this isnt the final line up and does not contain spoilers.

    Which is quite interesting.

    Did they put on the four finalists and then realise their mistake and add the text to cover it up.

    Or, if they are claiming it isn't a spoiler, does that mean that the final four are definitely different?

    One way or the other, we still don't know. :D

    If that was the case one of them are not in the final and Natasha is, that is the only other possibility now

    They probably picked the four most talked about contestants out of the eight at the time (this was before someone in the editing suite fell asleep on the bitch button for Melody's edit) and, as a function of the editing, because people who get right to the end tend to get more focus than people who dont, that's who has (probably) wound up in the Final Four.

    I doubt they knew who was in the final four (they probably knew the next one or two firings) anyway and I don't know why they'd put them on the front if they did? They're not going to get retroactive extra sales once the public know who the finallists are, and it's not as though they can claim to be prescient like most people who pass spoilers off as spec are. They're just looking to shift units that week, so they put the most intriguing candidates on the front page.

    I chucked away all my old Radio Times on Monday but I distinctly remember this one. It looks like RT has made a right boob with this! I know Apprentice is filmed months before it is aired so RT would have known who the last 4 were when it when to press.

    Yes very unimpressed. At the time they were making the cover, Melody was probably one of the bigger characters so if they were to have put te better known faces on, then she should have been on. Oh well

    To be fair, it could be the TA production team's fault. They send out a press release with publicity photos. A RT staff member would pick the best or most interesting looking photo as a cover photo without knowing how the episode would end.

    In a final bit of subtefuge the News of the World listed Natasha as fired on their website when I checked it out over a week ago.
