Does anyone know? I twitted Lord Sugar but he blanked me... probably too busy plugging his book or having a hissy fit with Piers Morgan.

SurLorSuga probably still feels raw about the Brand mugging him off

I think people are making too much of this.
They only need a certain number of candidates to come back and I expect they thought everyone would be sick of the bagginator by now. |

Stuart may have offered the explanation himself.....
The only place he sits naturally in an organisation is at the top. He will work in the ranks if he has to, but only to get to the top. Now that is no longer possible, further tasks are of no use to him.

I think Stuart would take all the attention of the final, you can guarantee something would happen around him that would dominate the show.
If I were him I wouldn't go near the show again, he hasn't left in a bad position, Sugar treated him badly, has even said he regrets that he got angry- if Stuart just keeps quiet he remains the 'wronged person' and carries the goodwill that comes with that label. |

I think it's a disgrace that he hasn't; I've been watching the Apprentice from season 1 and Stuart is one of my all time favourites for entertainment purposes.

C'mon, they've got to give the two finalists team members who at least give them a fighting chance of winning.
Landing either Stella or Chris with Stuart would be entirely unfair, as they'd end up spending most of their time trying to control him. Much better to give them competent troops like Jamie, Liz, Paloma or Christopher. That said, why Melissa or Alex are there is anybody's guess, because they're both bloody liabilities too... |

I would have liked to see Sandeesh back for this one, she seems hard-working, logical and a team player which I'd have thought would be perfect for being part of the team in the final task. Maybe Stuart was too busy tending to his field of ponies?

Seeing how it goes, it was probably good to let them concentrate without me!" |

Do we know that Stuart wasn't invited? Maybe he was but refused?

I think it is fear of sabotage. The formet contestants are back to help the finalists, it may seem similar to a normal task with a PM but it's not, the finalist is now meant to be boss and the others no longer have any stake in their performance so should simply be taking orders, offering some feedback but not expecting to be listened to in the same way. I think there's a fear Stuart wouldn't do this and would ruin the finalist who has him in their team's chances of winning by beigna argumentative and trying to take charge. He might not have done but it's risk management to leave him out.

I think you are right Bamber. It's just not fair to the others to have him there. If I understand correctly, there was only a couple of days break between the interview round and the final and it would have been too soon for someone with his ego to adjust to supporting someone else.
Some of the other idiots/egos that left earlier in the series will have had more time to adjust, and would perhaps have been interviewed to check if they would play ball. |

I disagree, remember the DVD task, Stuart came up with all the successful ideas (which the other team copied). He is also a consistent sales person.
Bamber19 got it spot on with: Quote:

I hope he did, I thought his exit was appaling. Sugar was too harsh on him
Quite honestly I think people are pretty sick of him at this point. Maybe if he'd gone out a few weeks back it would have been amusing. I'd like to see how he's getting on in a couple of years and get his take then on what he learned from the process. |

I'd add Paloma to that list. And one possible reason is to see how the finalists do at managing difficult people.

Actually Stuart was pretty good on the tasks where he wasn't leading. He was great in Germany, for example, working hard and over-coming Laura's defeatism. Likewise in the advert task, doing the voices. On the fashion task, he had the idea of getting a slot repeated on the big TV pushing their shop. When someone was giving him direction and shutting down his stupider ideas, he was a definite asset.
He might make a valuable contribution but, equally, he might balls it up or really offend someone. It's the same when he speaks. He's quite capable of talking a lot of sense but he's equally capable of spouting complete b/s. And it's the b/s for which he's remembered. |
