This series has been weaker than others in that the apprentices don't seem to be as bright.
For me I only bother to watch because I find James hilarious. Once he is fired I don't think I will bother. Some of the personalities have been very dull.

James is hilarious! The candidates have been weak and they have had to focus on the entertainment not the brains!

I cant wait for the interviews, should be really telling! I wonder how many analogies and strap lines/quote of the week James will come out with?

MrsSpoon - you cant invest all this time only to tune out for the final?!

Come on James!

It is the first year I have watched the show and I would have packed in after Philip was fired if it wasn't for James, he is such a funny guy. I suppose there is no way he can win.

If he can conquer his nerves I think he could do quite well at interview stage, afterall he has a great personality and a good CV ... the odds are on a girls final though.

But just really wanted to say LOVED Jame's Hugh Hefner line at the end of last night's show ... and quite frankly if I had to be stuck in that house with only one of the guys I'd def choose James!

hugh heff line was classic

I think James is a good laugh.


It would have been funnier if he said he was a poor mans Hugh Heff. No doubt Kate would have started to sulk again.

Yeah, James has certainly been the most entertaining character this year. He's made me laugh countless times. My favourite was when he wet himself in the boardroom!

No I don't think he is. Funny yes, but he's one of the weakest candidates in terms of business skills.

It was quite funny (and telling) how on the YF show when they were showing high points and low points of the candidates , the other 4 candidates' high points involved them doing something good business wise such as making a 200% profit or organsising a good pitch whereas James' high point involved Kate talking positively about him on a seperate camera interview

I don't know about that.

He seems to have the most comprehensive CV of all of them and you don't manage that by being lacking in the relevant skills.

I like James, and personally thought his ideas were key the week Kate won the cereal task. I think he's very under-rated on this forum, sadly

James to win!

I've always just considered him wallpaper. Never saw what all the fuss was all about RE James on DS.
