Jim definitely, because he actually is good.
Melody will probably blag it that far.

I like Vincent (against my will) and if he can learn from having taken over too many phonecalls in the last task then he's in with a shout.

I do rate Susan...

...but I also like Tom, tho we haven't seen much of him yet.

So that's a top 5. I guess if we lose someone out of that lot it will be Susan - I doubt she'll fare well in the boardroom.

Jim, Edna, Ellie/Melody and Susan would be my picks although Leon could surprise us.

None of them seem to be outstanding at the moment, don't seem very impressed with any of them, last years line up was much better, very bland this time round.

I've no idea how good or bad some are yet, like Helen and Felicity . I hope they get a chance to be PM soon.

So far only one candidate stands out and that is Jim.

I couldn't possibly name a four as I'm not who some of them are yet.

So far I like the cut of Jim's jib!! He defused awkward situations in week one and just seems all round pleasant. *swoon*

From the girls, Susan has stood out, particularly last week. The youngest there but she had her team buzzing!! The look on her face when told the price of the tea was priceless!!

I'd say

Jim
Melody
Ellie
Susan

Jim will probably win. I think its a guys year and he stands out quite a bit I think.

Jim, Melody and Susan stand out so far. I'm struggling to think of anyone else.

Jim of course. Susan is like Stella and Joanna rolled into one without the dirt. Having both worked and owns her own business. Plus she has education. LS in his tweets says he will never fire anyone with their own business (except Gavin!).

Jim, Melody, Susan and Edna. The boys so far haven't been impressive.

Susan + 3

I really don't get the Edna and Susan appreciation, Edna won a task that ultimately came down to the boys being to risqué for a website that had the largest user base and Susan made a massive error that made what should have been an easy win marginal at best. She also couldn't communicate her idea at all during the phone app task.

They both dragged a win through but were hardly very impressive.

Jim, Melody, Susan, Glenn.

It is hard to tell this early though because of the way they edit it. I had my bets on Gavin to start with....he turned out to be awful.

Susan, Jim, Melody, Tom

Things can change, but early on these are the ones that stand out to me.

I wouldn't say the boys' idea was risque (that carries more of a sexual connotation to me) but it obviously did play on stereotypes, which not everyone would like. While this lost them the big website, I don't think they'd have dne that well anyway. Their idea was just too local. Edna wasn't good, especially at presenting, but at least she went with an idea that was equally rubbish anywhere in the world!

Susan ultimately went to the wrong places, where the prices were too high to start with and where substantial reductions were unlikely. She probably didn't do too badly at getting the reductions she did in the places she went. It's strange, because she had the right idea about going to cheaper areas in East and South London, and it wasn't entirely clear why this didn't seem to have happened.

It may be in the edit - as these things often are.
Susan rightly spoke about going out east - but that may be the only time she said it. Did she ever re-emphasise the point? Did she check where her team were looking?
Shes a London girl so, unlike Gavin, would be aware that London has several yellow pages volumes - with my perfect 20-20 hindsight I'd say it would be best to physically remove the West/North/Central yellow pages just to be safe!

That is true but weren't they boys ahead in downloads till they gave the numbers from Wired's website?

I think Susan is one of the most likeable as a person(plus she's very cute) but she didn't really show good judgement.

I mean if someone asks for £900 and then sells for £400 alarm bells should be ringing, there and then I would have rather taken the list price plus the fine. I don't understand why they went to meet her without knowing other prices for a ballpark figure. Maybe other people were more responsible for that though.

I think the reason the Boys lost apart from how bad the idea was is that they weren't thinking about worldwide suitability.

Jim (absolute shoo in!)

Susan
Melody
Leon

My top 4 at the moment would be Melody, Susan, Jim and either Tom/Leon.

Leon is a grower I think

Jim, Susan, Melody and Leon keep standing out for me.

Only just watched for the first time today so my choices are probably rubbish

Glen
Zoe
Leon
Ellie balsy Reed

Jim - have a feeling he may have peeked too early though.

Melody - but don't think she'll be Sir Alan's cup of tea.

Leon - his best week yet.

Ellie - but she needs to perk up a bit.

Difficult to tell at this stage. I like Jim, Melody is good, Glenn (I think he is called Glenn), is something I think might have potential. Edna is growing on me. I want to mother Susie but can't see her winning. Can't remember most of the other names.

They are not a particularly memorable group.

same for me

Jim, Ellie, Tom, Susan
They are my four favourites because they don't seem to be into blagging it and trampling on others to get where they want to be. I like honest people.
