Wasn't quite sure again what their involvement was, Tom took a few pics

Prudish Helen voiced her dissaproval then went into hiding again

But was quick to be all smiles to be on the winning team again

Tom reminds me of the churchill advert, he does nothing but nod his head and comes across as a total bum licker when in the boardroom.

i also get annoyed that he never seems to have a close shave, he looks a scruffy tyke

Hope not, they are both so boring,

Both might be nice people, but they dont like to take risks and Im still saying both will be walked all over.

To be fair the amount they "hide" is purely down to the producers discretion.

They are the strongest candidates left I reckon.

I wouldn't say they are hiding. They just put their views across in a calm, level-headed manner and are too frequently ignored. They are the real "Susans" of this competition if that makes sense?

And I wouldn't call Helen prudish. I'd call her classy.

They both made the right calls - yet again. He hasn't got a good record on picking poeple who make most right calls though over the last few series. This time there's also the who looks like an entrepreneur angle, and theres no knowing whats on offer from Helen or Zoe or Melody. Tom as the inventor may have the big idea and Susan claims some record of actually seting up her own business.

Zoe could have gone down for suggesting hip replacement but the name seems to have been seen as a good idea that was damaged by Jim - which pulls her up again. She's looking more and more like a Debra or Clare. Helen may need another task win to pull her ahead of people like Kate and Liz , who didn't have enough wins as PM to make their case fully.

I can't wait to see Tom as project leader- I love him but don't feel like I've really seen whether he's made of sterner stuff yet.

However my prediction for the final 3 are Tom, Helen and Susan, with Helen winning.

Yes, those are exactly the candidates I liken Zoe to! And I grew to quite like and respect Deborah and Claire.

If it was the previous series I think they would be ideal Apprentice candidates.

They are safe would do what they told, dont take any risks.

However I think he wants a bit more

Yeah I think you've summed it up perfectly. Helen's prudery almost wrecked this task, yet she's still being touted as a contender.

Also, Natasha's £60,000 win is far more impressive than Helen's £6 win last week. Yet Natasha's excellent performance as PM gets no recognition. Perhaps it's because she's consider too uncouth and vulgar; unlike lovely, middle-class Helen.

Spot on, not too many defend Natasha on here, sure she is more working class I supsect, but so what. The panel on Your Fired didn't comment on the fact that she got £60,000 of sales and said that it was a "90s" idea

Strange that when I go into WH Smith there are plenty of lads mag on sale and I am pretty sure its 2011 when I go in

Plenty on the shelves, but how many are being sold? I think it's a declining market and the focus group that Helen and Tom went to revealed why.

Continuing the trend of this series, the winning team were quite lucky and relied more on the opposition messing up than doing anything remarkable themselves.

Lads mags have never appealed to me, but even I could tell Natasha's offering was the sort of thing I saw lying around in the staff room of my Saturday job in the mid 90s. She had an opportunity to update the concept, and wasted it (even though she scraped a win together in the end).

So why did one of the agencies take 60k worth then and she won by miles

Well considering that two out of the three were not at all interested in Natashas pitch I feel that she just got very lucky on the one that did pay the 60 grand. The front page of the half naked girl was sluttish and the bolt your load was vulgar. So you are spot on when you say that Natasha is too uncouth, vulgar and not nice. She does come over as common and middle class, but the middle classness would not both Sir Alan because he was middle class himself before he made all his money, probably not even middle class actually!

My feeling is the company that bought into the magasine liked the content, which I also thought had some appeal. But the cover and some of the language was crude and that was mostly Natasha's doing and stopped the team doing even better than they probably could have.

I shudder to think how far she would have went with the magazine if she had been allowed to

Yes, I have to agree, I would love to see Tom as PM and Susan on the other side as the PM as well and see what happens! It would be good to see what both of them are made of!

Everyone seems to forget this was supposed to be a free magazine. I dont think you will find them on news stands. What was expected is that people would read them. No take them home as well. That would depend on the content. They both failed on that. Both teams were praised that there was a gap in the market. So my idea of the winner using the 250k for one is very valid.
