The point of the programme is, Alan Sugar is looking for an aprrentice, by definition, this is someone young, its a shame though, as its painfully obvious Stella will win, because its been hyped up too much, blah blah, she was poor, she is a woman, she was a PA, there have been feminist undertones riving throughout this series, which is a shame, as whilst she is good, Chris deserves it a lot more.

I don't think it would be wrong for a 23 year old to earn £100,000 pa if they were capable of doing the job. Why not? Anyway, Chris didn't win, Stella did and she is only 30, hardly an old woman.
£100,000 a year is not a huge salary if you live in London. |

Complete BS, all of it.
All of it? even the bit where I said Stella would win? |

Chris Bates is undeniably a clever guy with possible potential. But on paper he is a 23 years old with only 9 months work experience. I can't see what he brings to the table on day 1 to justify a salary of £100K per year. Maybe he will be worth this sort of salary a few years down the line when he has worked his socks off and proved himself but as a starting salary - just plain wrong IMO.
I know thats the rules of the show but it will really annoy me if he wins. For that reason - go Stella! |

I think someone should be paid what their performance reflects, regardless of age. Was the former ceo of m&s not ceo at 33? Most of us would say 33 is far too young to be ceo of a giant corporation.
On the other hand though, i do agree that with 9 months work experience i would be amazed if he could jusyify to his peers in viglen why he'd be on such a big wage with the experience he brings. None of the candidates struck me as entrepreneurial geniuses (which would be worth 100k) so it is a lot of money for a corproate warrior-type. |

The Apprentice is all about making Lord Sugar even richer. How about changing the format so other UK businesses can benefit? I'd tell you what would be a good idea, how about a Dragons' Den type show where small business owners compete for money to develop their own companies.

Yes, if that's what Lord Sugar's willing to pay and they are willing to earn

why should LS get a worker for nothing. If she really increases his business shouldnt he be paying her. I cant understand it at all.
I wonder do the other candidates get paid at all. |

Chris could have had a lot more work experience if he'd left school at 15 like Stella!
A good education is worth money. Stella did well in her career and to get the job. |
