I suspect she will have the last laugh anyway and probably go down the Kate Walsh route

Had Sugar kept her, it would only have delayed Liz's exit by a week though.
LS just wasn't connecting with her as a person, so her days would have been numbered at the interview stage anyway. |

A lot of us thought that the decision last week was made in the full knowledge that Stuart was embellishing and that his firing would be more interesting this week...as indeed it was.
Think Sugar is being a bit disengenuous here...they've built up Stuart and his fibs up to be a big thing over three episodes just to get greater effect from tonights sacking and Liz was one of the unfortunate side effects of this plan. |

Either way it looked like he just needed a small excuse this week to fire Baggs. The firing didn't fit with the interviewers discussion, which was bizarely favourable, or the indivdual interviews shown, or the sin shown - which was less than Lee had committed with his CV. It looked set up to do what needed doing from weeks before. Not sure of the impact Sugar being Baggsed made on Liz's final chances. She's smarter than Stella and better at presentation, sales and basic business sense, but Stella has a Yasmina change story plus a selfmade woman one like Michelle's. Chris seems to be there for no good reason at all apart from being the sort of chap Nick likes. It may be down to the job - and, if that needs someone who would look OK in Nick's club, it will be Chris. Not having Liz there, makes it easier for LS to pick either Chris or Stella as LS deems fit. He would find it difficult to argue that Stella was better than Liz at much, or to argue that Chris could do better than Liz in a Simon type job requiring better educational , personal or presentational skills. He can now argue Stella is too corporate and cold or Chris is too inexperienced and unconvincing , or that either of them are very dull presenters, and take whoever he wants. |

I think a Liz vs Stella final would have been good although Chris vs Stella makes it a battle of the sexes. It's man vs woman, oh yeah!

Presenting a show about celebrities on Channel Five does not really constitute having the last laugh in my book. I hope Liz goes on to do something more useful with her life.

Kate is interviewing the same people as Ross, Winkleman and Norton do, but on a daily basis. She's also getting to do some of the exciting things that Blue Peter presenters get to do while piling up more live TV presentting experience than most people. I would think thats infinitely more interesting than any job any Apprentice has got. I can't see that the alternative of flogging the screen in my Doctors' waiting room that's never switched on, or the advertising screens in railway stations, adds much to the sum of human progress.

No, I prefer to believe in cock-up over conspiracy. We saw a similar thing happen with Miriam and Paul in the first series. There's a kind of candidate that Lord Sugar falls for, and then realises his mistake at interview.

Except that his claims of the previous task never got debunked, that we saw. He said all his parents gave him was £10 which he turned into enough for his £3m company, on his own. So far as we know, that's still all true. Instead of going into that, they picked up on some wording in his CV which was much less significant than Lee's lying.

Plus nothing beats a shock exit for publicity. I actually didn't rate Liz that highly - certainly higher than Stuart, but below Joanna and Stella. She would have gone this week regardless, so in the bigger picture, it made very little difference. |
