It's got to be Liz and Stella IMO.

Both have had an easy ride all through the series and good edits.

I still haven't seen them go through the same rigorous up and downs of the boardroom as the others.....or even look like they've been stressed out of their box in a task.

So not buying them at all.

Joanna (on the forums) and Chris (with Lord Sugar).

Funnily enough they are my predicted finalists

Has to be Chris as the above poster said with Lord Sugar.

Imo the marine Chris was never a winner but he was a far better contender than a man who has been a loser 6 times!

Ruth Badger won three tasks out of ten, and I think most people would argue she was a strong candidate for the win.

Stella I think is probably the most over-rated although I like her and still think she's a good candidate, although if people continue to give Stubags major props for spewing out two lines of crappy inaccurate German before getting to "sprechen sie English?" then he can probably join her.

Stella - I've still not seen her doing anything spectacular. Even this week, it was Joanna who was collecting valuable market research, pitching the crisps and sealing the deals.

Chris (by Lord Sugar)
Liz (by the bookies and general viewers) if she was a minger would she be the favourite?
Stella (by me )
Stuart (by Stuart)

Gotta be Liz. Other than being excellent in the Baby task, she has been pretty average throughout. Certainly deserving of still being there, but people are calling her the best candidate ever... Hmmm.

So by the few votes here, (besides Chris), it's still Stella and Liz

I have no doubt that they are good at what they do in there respective jobs and even what they have done on this show so far....................but enough to be winners?

I think in Stella's case it's been like a game of dodge-ems. This girl sure knows how to get herself out of the firing line and is totally below the radar IMO.

And Liz.....well aint that brilliant that she happened to pick the prop that would sell itself, but she happened to be compering it?

It's been luck luck luck so far with these two IMO.

Chris
his luck will run out soon enough

Liz, people like her tend to sail through life untroubled by the shit that face the rest of us mere mortals.

Certainly proving true in the show so far.

Liz. She's not any more exceptional than the others, and is about on a par with Chris, but the edit tends to portray her as the candidate whose mouth butter wouldn't melt in.

She's made a couple of mistakes but we haven't seen her hung out to dry for a single one of them. Getting a very cushy run. Seems absolutely to be finalist material, and she's definitely through to the interviews by this point (and I can't imagine her being fired there), but she seems a little more unexceptional than she's being painted.
