who'd come out on top ?

The Badger would eat them ALL!

Raef would come out on top, because he is the true gent amongst them.

Although I really liked Tre - I reckon he could do the almost-impossible and get Philip to shut up for a moment.

Tre was always best for the pithy comments.

Tre and he'd have a good chance of giving Ben what for as well

Tre, no contest.

Was Paul the guy in the first series? If so I think he'd come out on top, though as a person I liked Rafe best.

Raef would sit back with his feet up while the other four guys tore eachother apart.

But in an argument Tre would win.

What do you mean? As an argument for birth control?

All of them.

Which Paul?

Torrisi or Tulip?

Or Callaghan.

Tre deffo

close contest between paul from series 1 and tre.

paul wins by slightest of margins.

bit confused why the gent that is Raef is on the same list as four loud mouths?

Another Tre fan here - he was an ace contestant.

tre was hilarious, i remember the art gallery task when he tried to get all posh with a punter...

Trey was absolute legend! I think he made series 4 to such an extent that no other has been able to compare.

Sayeed would blatantly. Hes a winner dont you kno?

Tre would wipe the floor with them but Raef wouldn't even get involved.

I loved the art gallery task where Tre was disgusted and made himself censor and put the "lewd" pics facing the wall and then waxed lyrical (talked bollox) about art!

Wouldn't be Tre.

He's too busy doing Community Service.

Philip isn't fit to clean any of the others' boots. Paul, Syed, Tre and Raef were all capable candidates in some sense and had a charm about them which meant you couldn't hate them no matter what. James and Ben are more like these guys than Philip.

Philip is a gorilla's penis.

Definitely Tre. IMO Tre is the strongest male candidate ever in the apprentice. However, he was a bit of a loose cannon.

deleted.

I've just watched series 3 again and I had forgotton how strong a candidate Tre was. He had a good business head and had good creative ideas imputting lots into winning teams. However, he was a loner with no humility and that showed through in the interview task leading to his departure.

Raef or Tre - I would pick Raef
