This.

Maybe, but scousers can also come over in a very negative way, so it's not always a plus. Just as being "posh" can be a drawback. I don't think "posh" and "scouse" has much to do with any of this compared to their character and personality.

James has been consistently good and deserves his place in the final. I agree he can be a bit monotone,but bear in mind that he was VERY vocal and even loud and pushy in the first task regarding his ideas and in the Boardroom, and LS warned him to tone it down..... and that's just what James did.
Zara is VERY articulate and that can come across as making her SEEM smarter than the other less vocal kids. But in reality a couple of others were smarter ,but failed to get noticed in the manner she did. She looks about 30 as well ,and I don't mean that as an insult,she just does....in her dress and hairstyle and facially and it's a bit disconcerting in a prog full of kids who look like kids.
I hope James wins.

Wasnt Zara the one who picked the white baby with the black mother in one task lol?

James to win for me!

I really dislike James.
Sorry if that offends the James "fans" but IMO, and IMO alone he has been a smart ass, lazy, monotone, scruffy and needs to smarten up. A haircut is desperately needed, he's not very presentable with the mop head, plooks and I'm too afraid to check out his fingernails as fear and common sense have stopped me.
To me he looks like he smells A wash is needed not a squirt of deoderant all over his clothes!
Can't wait to see his ugly mug when Zara beats him to first place

<<Sweety runs for shelter before the backlash arrives>>

Sweety - you forgot to add that he slouches in the boardroom and was always disagreeing with any proposal - seemingly simply so if it came up as a key failure in the boardroom he could claim he was against it.

Performance wise, James has been consistently good, but he comes across as a very negative person when something doesn't go his way. However, he does get behind the product when pitching/negotiating with suppliers/the public etc. And he does that bit well, which he has in his favour. I personally thought he would be an early firing, but hey ho....

Zara is likeable, but is sometimes a little bit too smug for my liking. She's excellent at pitching, and is clearly very comfortable when speaking out loud. She's the stronger candidate IMO and therefore the one I would guess has the better chance at winning.

Still, quite a weak final compared to last years Young Apprentice, but the task looks like it could be good (one of the better ideas for tasks I've gotta say) and obviously they have to work with all the fired candidates, so I always find that interesting. Could be a belter, just have to wait and see....

I quite like James (Zara too) but it seems an unlikely final two. I think Sugar wanted the other team to win so he could the two Harry's in the final (or substitute blonde Harry for Lizzy) but it went wrong and this is the outcome.

I agree with you, I can't stand him.

He's rude, arrogant, cocky, a know it all, has no idea what teamwork means, tells lies to make himself look better and is generally a bit of an arse imo.

Not a fan of Zara all that much but it's been anyone but James for me since day 1
