Very hard to rate anyone at the moment.

Anyone got any thoughts

Jim, Edna perhaps, the girl who's name I don't know and has hardly had any screen time, and the guy who looks like Sinestro

Who's the blonde woman with the northern accent? I like her.

Jim, Susan, Melody( if she not arrogant in boadroom ie Paloma), erm.......

Not really seen the girls as they keep winning so focus on the boys, and this ep was gavin, vincent and jim really

Only Melody and Jim stand out to me so far.

Jim and Susan look like a good bet so far, Melody probabaly as well.

Though we haven't seen enough of half of them yet, hopefully some of the silent girls step up next week!

I liked Susan initially but I think she looked a bit silly not having a few prices and knowing the price before meeting with the tea lady. I think she came out looking bad from a business perspective on that one, but she is incredible cute.

Jim, Glenn, Melody and Susan.

My prediction for top 5 (interview stage) would be:
- Susan
- Jim
- Melody
- Glenn
- Tom or Zoe

same here, and vincent for entertainment

The Irish bloke who's the only one who does anything every week - Jim?
Chineseish woman who team led tonight
Blonde northern 'salt of the earth' woman, estate agent or something
Geekly glasses bloke *smitten-with smiley sadly lacking*

helen
felicity
melody
leon
jim will come 5th i think

Melody and Jim definitely look to be the front runners so far, and as for the other 2, I would say any two from Felicity, Susan, Tom and Natasha.

Ellie, Melody, Jim & Tom

I also like Susie and Glenn, and think Edna has potential but is too antagonistic

Natasha and Zoe are useless, and Vincent just had his card marked

Leon's lovely but is bound to trip up again, Felicity strikes me as someone who will self-combust soon (not even a PENNY!) and Helen's done nothing of note so far

I have no Top 4 yet, just a Top 2.
Jim and Melody

Middle-runners (no particular order)
Susan, Ellie, Felicity and Glenn.

Bottom lot (no particular order)
Zoe, Natasha, Helen, Edna, Vincent, Leon and Tom (),

Obviously only third week, so many things can still yet change, people can still progress up and others decline down.

I hope it's Jim, Susan, Blonde northern woman and either Felicity or the lad with the big ears.

Just Jim. Susan and Melody that everyone is mentioning are complete psycho bitches who will get stabbed in the back and binned the moment anyone has a chance, in kill or be killed fashion. Everyone else hasn't had a chance to show anything yet. Except evil edna, who will probably lie low for the whole run now but really ought to be gone too.

I agree with all of this.

Jim, Melody, Vincent and Helen.

Too early to say, more than half of them have only had 2 minutes on camera, I still only know four names!!

It seems pretty unlikely that Jim won't be in the last four or five - though who knows? Apprentice history is littered with the corpses of those who looked good early on.

Too difficult to call any others. Susan is a good saleswoman who seems able to command a team, but she badly misjudged by shopping in Mayfair etc.

One I'll call as definitely NOT top 4 or 5 is Edna. She's dreadful!

Looks good to back


That's understandable but Yasmina & Stella made there marks from episode 1 on each serie 5 & 6. I'm not saying any of this lot stand out but they stand out for the wrong reasons atm.

Zoe is fierce but will see if she can back it up when she's leader.

Thanks for all posts so far.

Susan, Zoe, Edna and 'random guy' for me. So early to tell though. I'll bet Edna to win, just because she is fierce.

If Zoe is fierce, Edna is an Amazon.

Jim will be because he is the best person by far. Susan because she has her own business and has accomplished more than all the others even though she is the youngest. She has found a gap in the market and filled it. She also seems to be from the last task the most down to earth and not yet full of herself. I gather LS seems a bit of himself in her. Of the others the only ones we have seen anything from are Melody and Vincent. They messed up the last task badly, although they were not PM, wasting hours and hours on doing nothing this cant be in their favour. I am sure some other 'dragons' will come along and also offer a similar amount to the last four. They will already have the publicity which is the most important for a new business.
