I don't believe the drive or determination to get the job argument. People who display drive often can't perform but can pretend. I wouldn't trust his Lordship on what we have seen to make that call - his biases are too apparent. Verbiage or life story is often more effective than it should be - more so since Apprentice candidates have learnt Sugar 101. Determination to get the job can equally reflect lack of options, delusion, desperation or an attempt to stroke the Sugar ego. Honest people with other options are naturally going not to sound so desperate, but they may be an awful lot more effective.”

Lee didn't sound bright, but he got results both on the show, and in the real world. You not followed Amscreen's progress?

Unless someone is delusional, drive will make them perform, and learn how to do it better each time. Drive is a word for working harder to get a particular result. Desperation and begging don't actually work on this show if you haven't shown sufficent results to back you up. Might get you a second chance (Syed & Micheal got too many) but it gets boring. Sugar isn't a charity. He's going to have to pay someone 100k for a year at the end of this. And just to check, both finalists work for an unseen 6 months so they can be properly assessed. That's what decides the winner.

And yeah, over qualified people can get on this show. But just as in the real world, it's being right for the job that gets it.

Liz will probably be runner-up just like Kate. ”

Well, for me Liz doesn´t resemble Kate at all (apart from her beauty). She is likeable, there is a reason that last year the word Katebot was frequently used, and doesn´t flirt with the men on the show.

If there is one candidate I would liken her to then it would be Miriam from series 1 (luckily for Liz, there is probably no telesales episode this year, as they are usually in the uneven series).

I think Liz is better looking than Kate. Kate is attractive but a bit big-teethed, if that makes sense.

It's nice to see beautiful girls pursue careers rather than bagsy the rich husbands they could no doubt get. They recognise that one day looks will fade and that they'll need a back up.

I found Kate very likeable. The robot accusations were pretty silly, really.

Am I the only person who thinks Liz iwas just lucky??! I really didn’t notice her until last week. Yes she sold big number but the product sold itself, and I think anyone could have that sale except Melissa .

Her presentation was ordinary, she did well but I think she just was the lucky one to present the item, I think even Chris with his mono tone sales pitch could have secured that order.

I agree. I thought Liz was good in her pitch, but considering she followed the monotonous vacuum that is Chris and was selling a product that would automatically sell loads, she was bound to look good.

Nick singled her out (alongside Stella) in week 1.
