Here is the thread for the culmination of 12 weeks of dedicated viewing. We've laughed, we've cried and we've had usurpers trying to steal threads (not really)!

Jade comes last in both our forum and news site poll, with most people wanting Tom to win.

Looking forward to the interviews and seeing Margaret and her eyebrows tonight!

Also strangely excited for Hilary Devey's new show as I really like her. Will you give it a go?

Who do you think will win?

Can't wait for tonight's show and to see Margaret again sad that it's the end of the series though

Crickey! You're early! Wanted to make sure you started the final thread? X-factor syndrome!

Ta for the thread

Looking forward for Margaret to meet the numpties!

Evening all, looking forward to tonight's final, although my daughter and her partner are here, any ideas how to shut them up?

Thanks for the thread Andy, from a usurper

Looking forward to seeing Margaret again, I wish she would should come back full time!

Hi everyone and thanks for the nice early thread, Andy

Hadn't heard about the new Hilary Devey show, but I'll deffo give it a try. Might have to record it though as I foresee way too many adverts to watch live.

I have a feeling Jade might take the prize tonight, (although I have grudgingly warmed to Ricky Martin finally, mainly because of his name I think).

Around 8.15, start tidying up, looking at your watch, saying 'Is that the time already', followed by much yawning. Failing that, do you have any duct tape?

Hi all!

I've a horrible feeling LS will pick Jade tonight. Partly cos there are three women on the 'You're Hired!' show, and partly cos I've disagreed with the majority of LS's decisions this series, especially getting rid of Jane when he did.

I'd love to see Bordan doing the interviews, but I'm guessing he's left the show for good? I think he's ace.

I know I am getting on a bit but isn't her name Hilary Devine or am I going mad

Just a note, now on at 8:40pm due to the pagent overrunning.

Ta for that. I'll set my alarm accordingly.

I like the duct tape idea best, as they know I am not the tidying up sort of person I have the feeling I will have to re watch tomorrow but will join in here as much as possible

Hilary is awesome It's a shame she's quit Dragon's Den to do the show, but I guess for someone with that much responsibility she wouldn't have time to do both.

Another excellent series draws to a close.

Thanks to all those who have kept me company on this thread and who have entertained me almost as much as the contestants.

I'll say this now because the end always gets a bit frantic.

The finalists look like they are going to discover what a really bruised ego feels like if the hints in the Sunday press are correct.

You're going mad.

Evening all!

Really looking forward to tonight but sad its coming to a close. From what I've heard the finale episode is meant to be a real cracker! Bring it on!!

Claude scares the living daylights out of me! Looking forward to seeing Magaret too... lets hope none of the candidates address her by her first name this time

Looking forward to it, I love Claude and Margaret.

Oh, god yes! Was that Stuart 'you're not even a fish' Baggs?

Haha yes... the brand himself!

'field full of ponies'! This is the sort of thing I've missed in this series tbh. They're all numpties, but not stand-out numpties.

Just googled it and I am not going mad, it's definitely Devine

Even though this has been a poor series I'm still looking forward to the interviews. Will be good to see Margaret and Claude again. I reckon either Ricky or Nick will win.

OK, I'm sending for Creepy Trevor. It's Devey.

sure you're not confused with Sidney Divine??!

OK I will agree with you, just don't send Creepy Trevor, please, pretty please
