There are none of the final six who I dislike now. Ben was the last of the candidates I disliked, and even I thought he was *okay* sometimes, and showed a sweeter side on 'Your Fired'.

Actually, there is no-one I really want to see fired next week, and I would find it hard to pick between them. It will depend a lot on how they perform next week.

This is the only season where I have liked all of the final six. There are normally at least one or two useless/loathsome candidates kept till at least interviews.

So does anyone else think this is the most capable and generally fairly likeable final six the show has ever had?

In comparison to other shows at this stage, then yes, I agree with you.

However, there are one or two who annoy me more than others.

But it's no bad thing, because it's still great viewing

They seem somewhat less controversial figures than we have had in the past - of the Katie, Alex, Syed sort.

I quite like Kate, Yasmina and James. I find Howard perfectly acceptable but not exciting. But then that's how I've felt about most of the previous winners.

Debra and Lorraine do provoke some divisive reactions however so I can't imagine everyone is going to be happy with the final six.

I find Debra intriguing but not terribly likeable, and Lorraine is - for me - the weakest left, however compared to some of those who have made the final six before, she is relatively fairly capable.

I'm not sure I'd had much trouble firing those two however.

I agree; I don't think any of the final six are obnoxious or hopeless (Debra & Lorraine [**** your instinct!] bug me a bit, but not massively).

I agree, I think the women are the strongest

I agree, I think this is the most likable final 6 out of all the series. All the other series had one or two people (or in last year's case, 5 people!) who I didn't like at all by this stage. Debra and Lorraine have had their moments but I like them overall. I don't know if it's the most capable final 6, I think all of the series have had pretty capable people by the end (except for last year, obviously).

Debra and Lorraine both make fantastic television, but I couldn't say that I liked them. I like watching them though. Debra makes a fantastic villain and Lorraine is just a bit loony.

I like the other four.

Howard's sense of humour really came out tonight. The bit with the hat to Lorraine was hilarious. I think he and Kate worked well together. James and Yasmina working together made me happy as well.

I expect Debra & Lorraine to polarise opinions, but really - neither of them are bad people and they have performed fairly well in some of the tasks and definitely have their strengths as well as weaknesses. I quite like both of them.

I was just thinking back to last year's final six
Michael Helene Lucinda, Lee, Claire, Alex

I can see Debra & Lorraine's strengths, but also their weaknesses (Debra is over-confident; Lorraine over-compensates because she lacks charisma/natural charm)

I'm not sure if like is the right word, but I like Kate & Howard because they seem to be good people people (they did most of the presentation work for their teams on the Margate tasks and are competent sellers).

I'm undecided about Yasmina, but not in a bad way (she's not as 'visible' as the others).

She and James have probably achieved the most in real life, but James seems to lack the natural confidence of the others (esp. Howard & Kate), which is a shame.

Debra and Lorraine are still there though!

I think Debra will go next week SAS is getting fed up of her bolshy gobby side and Margaret and Nick don't like her so she's got some work to do if she wants to survive!!

ALTHOUGH I'd love to see Debra get interviewed that would be classic telly!!

I like James and Yasmina. Howard also seems a nice guy. Don't like Debra. With regards to Kate and Lorraine, I'm a bit 'meh'.

Yeah, I was thinking the same thing. Infact, when I was watching last night's task, and predicting who'd be fired, I realized that I didn't want anybody to go. If I had to choose one, I'd say Debra is my least favourite, but she's not that bad. I mean, there's only a few instances where she has been deliberately cruel to other people, it's mostly just ignoring people, and talking over people, which isn't vile, in the same way that Jenny from series 4 was.

Talking about series 4, when we compare this final 6 to their final 6, I think this one is a lot more competant, and a lot more likeable. Last year, I only liked Lucinda and Lee, and I found Michael and Claire okay, but I absolutely loathed Alex, Helene.

I really don't like Debra and Kate. I wouldn't trust either of them.
