This has been a delightful experience, and noone other than me deserved to be in this position! Well done to Lou and good luck to Zak and Gav, you're all brilliant!

A very humble and gracious exit. Well done, you worked really hard and did brilliantly.

Wow, firstly thanks again for putting me through this far. I think I'm the best candidate for a lot of reasons - firstly, my real life experience - I have a lot of it, both academic and practical - which shows I have a good grounding and can apply myself well. Secondly, I think I've almost learned the most out of everyone left in the process - I'm changing the way I conduct myself, growing and expanding and getting better every day, but that being said I would be an excellent person to hire as things are just now. I'm not afraid of throwing myself in to a task and working hard, I can argue things calmly, reasonably and logically, and I would say that I'm the best in the process when it comes to writing and delivering pitches, and easily the most comfortable with the financial side of things. Thirdly, I hope I deliver on a personality front - I'm a composed person and I hope other people find me enjoyable to work with - something great about my experiences of work IRL is that people are always incredibly complimentary and pleased, which I think speaks for itself. I'm also pretty persistent, I've scored an intern quite recently on persistence and personality alone, after my academic credentials weren't what the company were looking for. I really do think I'm such a well rounded candidate, and would make a fantastic choice for you should you pick me.

Thank you Thanks to Ana, Pete and Tyj, they're all lovely people- a big thank you to Aliyah as well, as well as the other candidates!

Gav and Zak deserve this so much more than me, and I fully stand by Ana's decision.

Once again, good luck!

First of all, I would just express how much Gav has been a fantastic candidate throughout the competition and even though I still haven't had the chance to work with him, I might be able to do so in the next few minutes! However, that being said, I do believe I am the best candidate left in this process. I am hard-working, organised, reliable, an incredible team member - but the most of all, I try my best in every single task I'm delegated, whether this be a task I don't like or would prefer doing, I will do it anyway and to the best of my capability and I think that is the most important thing. At the beginning of the process, I stepped back a little and let others have all the say, however it is increasingly noticeable that I am having my opinion heard more and what is important here is that I am more than willing to learn from my own mistakes. Anoher example of this is the responsibility issue in task five, since then and when appropriate, I take full-responsibility for my actions and don't try and hide away from the blame, which could only benefit me as I learn from it. Also, you want somebody who is articulate and can efficiently write in lengthy detail, which I have pretty much shown, I can ace that and to an excellent standard. You also want somebody who can pitch effectively, which in receiving 15,000 units from Kevin (the highest offer, I must repeat), I hope I have shown this. However and perhaps most importantly, you want somebody who is easy to work with and that is me. I am eager to learn, but at the same time, I am already a very strong candidate and for that alone, I believe I would make a fantastic choice to be your next apprentice.

Congratulations Gav, you’re an excellent candidate and you deserve to make the final two! Also, well done Louise and I wish you both the best of luck in the final task. Now the only question is, who is lucky enough to get the person who came third place on their team?!

Oh my god, huuuuuge comiserations, I'm unbelieveably shocked! Incredibly well done to Zak and Jess for being awesome lovely people it's been excellent getting to know better, an thank you LS so much!

Commiserations to Zak, you've been brilliant!

Congrats to Gav!

(I told you a cougar fauxmance would make us stay Zak! )
