For me it would have to be between James Max from series 1 or Ruth Badger from series 2. Special mentions to mad Jo, Saira Khan, sexist Paul, Baggs, the woman who was fired on week 4 of series 1 and on her exit called Sir Alan a 'cheeky bastard' (:D), Steven from this series and Jason Leech.

This series Steven and Sarah. TV gold!
I remember him being hilarious on your fired.
In the same series, James McQuillan was involved in some classic Apprentice moments too
I wish Sarah had stayed in longer, as you say, TV Gold!
2) Lucinda Ledgerwood [Series 4]
3) Katie Hopkins [ Series 3]
4) Jason Leech [Series 9]
5) Stella English [Series 6]
Also really liked [favourites of series] were: Solomon Akhtar [Series 10], Ricky Martin [Series 8], Ruth Badger [Series 2], Kate Walsh [Series 5] & Zoe Beresford [Series 7]
But overall, Susan Ma
Ah I forgot about Jason, a prince among men!
That was Adele, but she actually wasn't fired, she left (she sort of left by mutual agreement as she probably would have been fired anyway, but officially she left.)
You are not my boss! 😁
Imagine being stuck in a lift with Baggs, Katie or Sarah?
True. I liked strong women candidates like Helen, Liz and Roisin. But it's the oddballs that stick in my memory, Paul, Jo, Stuart and what not. So yeah, not the type of people I'd wanna hang with or anything, but definitely the kind of people I like to watch from a safe distance.
They should do an Apprentice All Stars, bring back some of the most memorable candidates. Can you imagine the level of crazy that could bring?
You're nothing to me!
There have been three Katies - I presume you mean Katie Hopkins, and not Katie Wright (the blonde one from two years ago) or Katie Bulmer-Cooke (the one from this year), both of whom I'd quite like to meet in a lift. As a matter of fact, I'd love to bump into Sarah, I'm sure she and I would have a chinwag. As for Stuart - well, I'm with you on that one.
LOL 😁
Another vote for Jason.
On the opposite end of the spectrum, Jason Leech, Ed Hunter, Sarah Dales, Nargis Ara, Lucinda Ledgerwood and Jordan Poulton were all wonderful but chaotic. And Jemma Bird and Sophie Kain are both candidates who did very little on the show but I still like anyway.
...And, I'll second Adele! I liked Adele. I was willing her to do better than she did, but think she was right to quit.
Kristina Grimes was bloody awesome.
Tre was a tool, but a very entertaining tool.
I also think Lucinda was like a breath of fresh air and would probably stand out in any series she was in.
Also I admired Yasmina's gutsy but level-headed approach to the process.
They are definitely my top 4.
Pure entertainment that lad.
I second the motion - one of the few non-winners I remember, and one of the few self-proclaimed "selling machines" in the history of TA who actually was a selling machine!
Also liked Tom Pellerau. I usually prefer the brainy ones rather than the gobby ones who are more aggressive, good at sales but not that bright (eg Ruth Badger). Intelligence goes an awful long way IMO, and certainly during my career all my favourite mentors and bosses have been super smart. They weren't perfect, noone is, but intelligence gave them, for example, strategic acumen and versatility. Contrast that with colleagues who were competent in their particular jobs but comparatively thick. Loads of the Apprentice candidates are like that IMO.
