Which of the big characters will go first?
At the moment here's how I see it...
Big characters : Debra Phillip Lorraine Ben Secondary characters : Kate Yasmina James Obscure types : Howard Mona So out of the first list who will be the first to get the boot and how soon do you think it'll be? So far all of the 6 that have been fired have been those that didn't really stand out. |

Judging by Sir Alan's 'village idiot' comment James will be in trouble the minute he's in the losers team, sadly, as he's actually rather likeable as well as entertaining. Mona is vulnerable (and rightly so) soon too.

I think out of your big 4, Ben will be first. I don't mind him, but he's been called into the boardroom 3 (or is it 4?) times now, and ultimately thats not just bad luck.

I agree about Mona - surely she will be gone soon! Out of the four big characters (or as I call them, three obnoxious sods and Lorraine), I'd say Ben is just hanging in there. Sir Alan does not like him, and Ben was a terrible team leader. |

I think the order of the 'big 4' will be Ben goes first, then Phillip, then Lorraine, then Debra (I have a feeling she will be in the final). |

I think the contenders are Kate, Yasmina and Lorraine.
I don't see either Debra, Ben or Phillip as possible winners for very obvious reasons - they just don't seem to have the personality traits that AS looks for in his apprentices - ie. good manners, civility under pressure, or a facility to get on with other people in a professional manner. But whether ot not they'll be kept in for entertainment value is another thing. I'd hate to see someone like Lorraine or Yasmina being sacrificed at the expense of Ben or Phillip. James is the only male I can see as a contender. Very decent guy, could surprise us. |

Agreed - Debra is very similar to Saira, Ruth Badger and Claire Young before her. Bossy, big-mouthed, speaks first and thinks later, but most astute remaining candidate with the clearest business head on her shoulders. And going by Saira, Ruth and Claire's final position, she'll finish runner-up. Probably to Kate. The best candidate, but not what Sugar is looking for.
If we're making comparisons to Ruth and Claire, the interesting one's Lorraine. But that's probably not kind... ![]() As for the premiss of this thread, it would be no loss to see Ben, Debra, and Mona go. Kate evidently sees something in Philip, and we know it's not his oscular abilities , so he might not be a total waste of space. So I'm sure that'll be the top four, given Sir Alan's track record...
