Ive only seen Series 1, 2, 6 and the current one so far, so I cant vote YET, but what are your guys opinions? 
Rank the series
1 of 3
Series 3 - the best ever. Every task had at least 5 great moments 
brilliant television.
Series 6 - just a good solid series with no real negatives too it. The first series without Margaret though
Series 7 - another good one with some really good tasks. It's let down by having the worst winner of all the series though.
Series 5 - a good series, where for once the best candidates were left till the end
Series 2 - had 2 of the best candidates of all time, Syed and Badger
Series 1 - good at the time, looking back it was not as interesting.
Series 4 - full of despicable people lying and bullying their way through. Lucinda was lovely though
I'd probably put Series 8 between Series 2 and Series 1 at the moment. It needs more classic moments and for a project manager to be fired to move higher up.

I would say:
1. Series 3 - A good mix of entertainment (I am you boss!) and actual decent tasks
2. Series 2 - I haven’t watched it for a few years but from what I can remember it was good for having tasks in it which haven’t been in it since
3. Series 5 - Similar to Series 3 really!
4. Series 4 - Most candidates not very nice, but it was a good series
5. Series 1 - The series I can actually remember most of the contestants from!
6. Series 6 - For both Series 6 and 7 I had to go back to remind myself who was in it and what happened
7. Series 7 - (See above) + The 'Business Plans' at the end were a bit of a let down too
8. Series 8 - This series I have not liked at all, all the tasks seem so familiar, all the contestants are similar and each week I haven’t felt as compelled to watch as in the past
As you can see there is a pattern emerging at the bottom!

Wow! Series 6 that low down?! That would probably be my favourite. I think that series is criminally underrated.
I've watched various episodes from all series quite recently so...
1. Series 5 - competency won out, genuine likeability triumphed over knobbishness (James and Lorraine over Phillip and Ben for example) and there were memorable candidates.
2. Series 1 - the original and while not quite the best, it's the one I like to re-watch the most. Lindsay signing her own death warrant, Rachel's impossibly awful mood board, the annihilation of the auction task, the absolute joy of the wolf jackets, Saira and Paul clashing horribly and deservedly in the final task - I could go on.
3. Series 3 - Would be higher were it not for the fact that I'd like Katie Hopkins to burn up in her own ego. And that Kristina was robbed - ROBBED I TELL YOU!
4. Series 6 - Some classic moments. StuBaggs might have been an @rse of the first order but he was classic entertainment. And the firing of Liz! I'm probably in a minority here but I was giggling somewhat at that curve ball.
5. Series 8 - It's not the most memorable but I'm liking it a hell of a lot more than last year. I'm not missing anyone that's gone yet and I like several of those that are still there. I have suspicions (none of them with any real substance) about future weeks though so this series may tumble a little yet (although not to the bottom).
6. Series 2 - Hated the result - Michelle gets a ride to the final on the back of "Yes Siralan, I look after my family now I've got a bit of cash." Big deal. What did he expect? "No Siralan, that money's mine, they can whistle for it outside the bank holding a tin cup." Wasn't over-keen on many of the others either. The Badger was the best of them and she didn't do much except sell (albeit majestically).
7. Series 4 - Although responsible for possibly the best single episode (Marrakhesh, natch) and certainly the best boardroom, there were very few likeables in there and many f**koffanddies. Jenny Celery in particular can go the way of Katie Hopkins (see above).
8. Series 7 - Yawn. Couldn't get into it. Not sure why. Possibly because Helen was so great (and unchallenged for greatness) and yet so dull. And I never really got the appeal of Melody and Scribbles. Quite liked Tom and Jedi Jim (and grew to vaguely like Susan) but it was all a bit too little, too late.
Sorry about the length of this. I'm a teensy bit tipsy.

Imho, Michelle was the best candidate that series.
The reason that the badger got the sympathy vote was largely based on wanting business to win over looks (even though Michelle was more corporate then the badger).
Series 2, Syed's antics & especially his order for 100 Chickens was hilarious, who can forget that dreadful sales pitch from Nargis, although wrong winner.
Series 1 Saira, her confrontation with Paul, & one of the staff at Spurs was memorable, as was Rachel's banner, & Lindsay's incompetence.
Series 6, for Stuart Baggs BSing, Dan's awful stint at PM, & Mellissa despite her boasts, & complete incompetence at everything, although think LS wanted to pick Liz as winner rather than Stella.
Series 4, despite quite dislikeable candidates the highlight was Marrakesh, & going to a Halu Butcher for Kosher Chicken, plus the Boardroom & Jenny C's brutal firing.
Series 5, quite average series, highlight was Pantsman.
Series 7, quite average series, with change of format,.
Series 8, poor so far, wrong candidates fired, think the change in format is responsible for that, as few candidates would have been fired had it been the old format.
Series 3, dislikeable with Katie's antics, & wrong series winner, Paul incompetent selling Cheese to the French then cooking Sausages on a stupid contraption.

Series 1 - The contestant were of the best quality we have seen so far.
Series 2 - After this there are more contestants wanting to be on TV than get the job
Series 5 - Some great contestants and some car crash ones
Series 3 - The wrong winner otherwise this would be second
Series 7 - Like the change in format
Series 4 - Features some of the worst and the very worst (Michael Sophocles) contestants ever
Series 6 - Needed the change of format

Oh I confess I'm a little biased
. Siralan seemed to be fawning over her mainly because she was a pretty girl who had risen from tough beginnings (not her fault admittedly) and she basically p1ssed on her chips with me by closeting herself in the VIP section on the shop task quaffing champagne and doing sweet fa else. I'm sure she'll be devastated about that . However, like I said, I wasn't that keen on any of them.
I watch it mainly for entertainment so on that basis..
1. Series 3. Just because of the sheer competence of Kristina, the horror that was Katie (although her pure evil was hilarious, she couldntve made a worse impression but she was still probably the most competent candidate) and for Simon's trampoline scene
2. Series 2, the first series I watched religiously. I liked this for the force that was the Badger, but especially because of Jo (curly haired woman who was stupid as). This series had a good balance of class acts and fodder.
3. Series 4, because I really liked Lucinda, she was really bullied by the others, and because I liked to see the fools get their comeuppance
4. Series 5. Purely for the horror of Lorraine and "Apple Sue".
5. Series 1. I liked it, but I dont remember it that well
6. Series 7. While it had some funny moments it didnt compare to the previous.
7. The current series, series 8. I;m not getting into it and it seems quite contrived and edited for shock value so we don't really ever know what's going on. Aimed to get a reaction from us viewers (and to make us watch Youre Fired!)
8. Series 6. I don't even remember it, Stella? Who was that? What did she do?

Can't be bothered to rank at the mo, but I'm already surprised at the (over-) praise for Series 5. I found that series unwatchable most of the time.
I didn't watch series one and two, so here goes:
1. SERIES 3 - this was the series that got me hooked on this show, and iv loved it ether since. This series had my favourite contestant of all time tre, and his bromance with simon was quality, and then simon went on to win, loved it
2. SERIES 4 - with the legendary lee mcqueen, and his terrodactile impression, was genius
3. SERIES 7 - change of winning prize hasnt realy gone down well with me, but the tom the inventor saved this series, he was really enteraining and really deserved the win
4. SERIES 6 - thought stella was boring but there were some decent characters and really liked chris
5. SERIES 5 - boring, hated the finalists

These are the only previous series I've watched (the first three i watched in a couple of marathon sessions about six months ago). IMO the current one is a LONG way behind. I pray its just a blip.

Series 2 - I think this series has the best characters and was when the archetypes were full developed and produced.
Series 1 - Its probably the most positively different from the other series. The unspoken rules weren't in place yet.
Series 3 - Though its great in some parts (Tre, France, Simon etc) I can't stomach Katie andv her posseb of evil.
Series 7 - Great finalists and all of the final six were pretty interesting.
Series 5 - Middle of the road.
Series 8 - I think every season looks better aftwer they've finished. Thisb onwe will be no diffeence.
Series 6 - Or Series Baggs really.
Series 8 - Loathesome people being loathesome. Series three without the bits I like (other than Marakesh).

I don't really like the turn the show has taken recently, especially since the firings/results don't make much sense.
I like the characters this season, but the editing is awful and the tasks feel like I've seen them all before. I just look ahead to the boardroom within about 5-10 minutes.

of the ones ive seen
Series 3 - A lot oflikeable candidates and there was a good balance of everything.
Series 8 - A good bunch of candidates, ive found it pretty engaging so far!
Series 6 - Lots of great candidates again. Discounting the ridiculous StuBaggs.
Series 1 - Just a great overall series but it all seems so different to now.
Series 2 - Some cry babies and unlikeable candates, but it wasnt too bad.
Series 4 - Had a bad winner, and more than half of the candidates werent very likeable. they all seemed very incompetent.
Still to watch Series 5 and 7, so will update when I have.

I rank Series 4 so highly because as unlikeable as most of the people were, the winner was a charmer and it was filled with great moments. And I thought Lucinda was awesome. Series 8 I've actually stopped watching, the Series 9 opener better be good otherwise I'm done with this show.
