You see, this is why I think Laura should have won Series 6. She was by no means the best on the tasks, but she and Stuart were really the only ones who were actually apprentice material, and Laura had a lot more integrity than Stuart.

They were by far the 2 worst candidates by the time of the Germany task (their tantrum in the car is a classic in that episode
).Laura was by no means the strongest candidate there - people like Stella, Liz, Joanna, Jamie and even Stuart arguably were stronger than her - but I don't think it's always based on who is good on the tasks. I would have liked Laura to win because she was young and adaptable and would have taken a lot for Sugar. Plus, I felt that the basic skills were there. I know she clashed a lot with people because she was annoyed at the way things were going on the tasks, but some people react in that way and it is a very pressurised situation. I felt that a lot of the time she had the right ideas - if she had been listened to on the cleaning advert task for example, I am pretty confident that they would have won that task. I think if she had had a second opportunity to be PM, she may have stood more of a chance, and I am extremely confident that had she won, she wouldn't have ended up suing Sugar for constructive dismissal. |

Best episodes for me are :-
Series 3 - Selling lumps of cheddar to the french. Series 2 - A chicken per pizza episode Series 1 - James & Siara on the selling task. The wolf jacket scene cracked me up. By coincidence i actually saw someone wearing the exact jacket a few hours later. I was sniggering to myself in the street. |

It's just not been like that in any series since.

I think that's why the first series will always be my favourite. The candidates actually became friends during the series. There were tears in the boardroom when people got fired because they felt like they were losing friends. You got hilarious scenes where you got to laugh with the candidates, like Siara and James with the fleece.

There have been good friendships formed since then - maybe not so obviously as in Series 1, but there have been. In Series 8, Gabrielle formed a relationship with Nick (not sure if they're still together - hope so as they're lovely and deserve each other!) and became close friends with Jenna, who she worked with on every task until Jenna's firing. In the most recent series of Young Apprentice, the candidates had a 'Just Dance' competition in between the tasks - which was never seen onscreen, but was referenced in interviews with the candidates.
Apparently Jim, Tom and Susan stayed good friends too. I also understand from what the candidates have said that on the final Young Apprentice virtually everyone liked each other. |

Didn't Glenn and Zoe form a relationship too? (In fact, didn't Said get Michelle Dewberry pregnant?)
Gabrielle and Nick is the one that interests me most though, because they are both so lovely! Thinking about them makes me feel cosy inside. They were definitely the two most likeable candidates in Series 8 (on a personal level, nothing to do with the tasks.) |

Sometimes we learn things in the boardroom, but even the "hanky panky" relationships were brought up as reasons to fire someone and close friendships between candidates were used to accuse people of "ganging up" on someone else. Don't get me wrong, sometimes it's justified. But in the first series it seemed that all the candidates gelled together as a group except for the one who "resigned" by telling Sugar to go eff himself. |

But it's never apparent on the show, since the emphasis in every series but the first has been on conflict and disagreement. As a matter of fact, it seems that they go out of their way to conceal the friendships people form given how surprised people always seem that candidates A and B were actually friends when they see the footage of them arsing about together on You're Fired.

That's interesting as we certainly didn't get that impression on the show. Everyone bar Ashleigh and maybe Lucy seemed to dislike Andrew and David wasn't liked from what we saw. I'd say Maria was the same. It's nice to hear that Tom, Susan and Jim are friends as well.
I disagree with you about Maria as well - both of the times she was in the boardroom (Weeks 2 and 4) the other people in the house said that they really wanted her back. She was apparently really popular in the house. In Week 3, when Amy, Steven and David were in the firing line, Ashleigh said, 'We all love Amy in the house, but to work with her she's an absolute pain', suggesting that Amy was another one who everyone liked personally even though she was difficult on the tasks. |

Well I was only going with what I remember. It's the only series I haven't seen more than once so I was bound to forget a few things.

What do you think? I reckon Stella showed some personality in the last few weeks and deserved the win overall. The interview stage is incredibley emotional don't you think?

They did, but they have since split up. Syed did get Michelle pregnant, but she had a miscarriage and they split soon after. I believe that Kate and Philip are still together.
Gabrielle and Nick is the one that interests me most though, because they are both so lovely! Thinking about them makes me feel cosy inside. They were definitely the two most likeable candidates in Series 8 (on a personal level, nothing to do with the tasks.) I believe Ben and Debra also remained friendly, both with each other and with Kate and Philip. I read an interview with Debra where she said Ben was a good mate (though she did also suggest he did his thinking from below the waistline). |

I'm not sure about Andrew, but David and Navdeep apparently got on very well - they both complimented one another a lot in interviews. They never worked on the same team; I imagine it would be easier to get on with people who you're not on a team with, as you don't associate them with the stress of trying to complete a task.
I disagree with you about Maria as well - both of the times she was in the boardroom (Weeks 2 and 4) the other people in the house said that they really wanted her back. She was apparently really popular in the house.

It's interesting that the public seemed to dislike Maria when her fellow contestants clearly liked her so much. David was apparently popular in the house - I read one of the contestants say he was always making tasty treats in the kitchen for the others.

Marrakesh, I don't think I could ever get tired of that episode. Funny from start to finish, a classic episode from all who were in it.

My overall favourite episode was the 'selling the best of british to the french' one in series 3 where Paul takes a load of cheap cheese over and tries to fry some sausages on 'some stupid contraption the boyscouts could have come up with' Following the disaster of the task we get a very entertaining boardroom and in my opinion possibly the MOST deserved firing ever
