This woman is powerful. She will win this without a shadow of a doubt.

May aswell close the show now and hand her the job.

I agree. Stella is by far the best candidate.

may regret saying this in a few weeks but so far she is shining.

Oh she is the best. But the best doesnt always win. In fact they rarely do. Its the one who LS can work the best with. I dont think she fits the bill.
I dont think investment bankers have ever won. LS doesnt like the city. He thinks they are all lazy and getting paid for doing nothing constructive. He prefers a business producing, buying and selling real goods.

I think the fact she has been on the winning team every week so far has clouded our judgement though, I mean we've not had any decisions made by her really scrutinized yet.

Don't get me wrong, she's looking a contender, but it may be edit related atm

I like Stella and I think she's capabable. However, there is still every possibility that she's being built up by the editing, only to be set up for a fall later. That was the case with Kate last year (although that was just as much due to flirting with Phil). Still, I hope that isn't the case with Stella.

Tre looked like a winner early on in his series but he ended up not being that good.

I can see why she is the early favorite.

Its only been 3 weeks, she hasent been that good in my view. She was a good project manger and seems to work well in a group but thats it... I havent seen her being powerful at all yet, she might show it in the coming weeks. Atm shes one of the better people this year, but time will tell

I think she's excellent - she's shown she's a good business woman but still has a sense of humour. She doesn't get overly stressed or enter into bitching.

I can't see anyone but Liz or Stella winning. ANYONE.

Really? She's a dick!

Stella, Liz and Jamie are my favourites. I agree that Stella is a very strong candidate.

After tonight, I'm thinking Liz is the best. But Stella is very good too. These two should be the final two without a doubt.

What a difference a day makes.

I think between Liz Stella but dont write off Joanna and Jaime

I think it will be between Stella, Liz and Jamie - my three favourites!

I think Alex is the darkhorse. Something very likeable him and he often saves a pitch in a very understated way.

Stella wasn't so good tonight. Maybe sales is a weak area for her but she also lacked the attention to detail that she had in the other tasks. Liz looks like the strongest candidate at the moment. Jamie's a strong contender too but I can imagine him annoying LS down the line.

Up until tonight Stella was looking good. Now it could be Liz, who has been in the shadows the past few weeks

I think Stella is comedy gold, but I'm not sure I can see her winning.

To be honest, although he's not really been tested yet, my money's on Christopher.

I think Liz has overtaken Stella as my favourite.

My favourites too.

Warming to Joanna aswell after a bad week last week. I think she could do well but will have to control her mouth.

I wouldn't write Stella off yet - other winners have had tasks that they performed poorly on. Remember Michelle and the boutique, or Yasmina's sandalwood error, and Lee McQueen had a number of dodgy moments.

I'd still regard Stella as a potential winner, with Liz and Christopher now definitely joining her in that category. Joanna, who I'd thought unlikely to win, I think may also now be a possibility.

I've now consigned Jamie and Stuart to the brigade of no-hopers, with Laura and Sandeesh. Paloma I still hold out some hope for, but her chances now look slim. Still not sure abour Chris and Alex; I wouldn't rule them out.

Too lacking in self confidence to stay the course I feel. Might make interviews where Claude will trample on him He's a good team player and says intelligent things. Just feel he's wandered in from the real world.

I agree, and it's a shame because he's been pretty good on the tasks so far.

Not made any major blunders and I've noticed the ease with which he establishes rapport with potential customers.

Tre has been the best candidate ever on the show .... how very dare you ?

"It's all tits and fish" ..... classic.

Stella fell on her arse a bit tonight, but she is in the top 3 of the girls. The rest should go back to the playground.
