Which 3 do you want to see fired?
Iqoniq

If you could make a wish and fire 3 contestants who would it be and why? Based in order of preference:

1: Patrick McDowell
For some reason he reminds me of Johnny Robinson from X Factor without any of the talent (that scuba dress thing - what was he thinking?). He's also just that little bit too queeny for me to take him seriously (and I have nothing against gay people). I don't think he'd have much of a plan for the money either, apart from trying to make the most unusual combinations of clothes he could think of.

2: David Odhiambo
He's got the kind of voice that would bore me to sleep, and comes across as very arrogant as well as a bit of a bully. His hairstyle does my head in and every time I see him I think he has cone on his head.

3: Maria Doran
She just gets on my nerves. She comes across as a spoiled little bitch that is used to getting her own way, and if she doesn't she has a tantrum or just bulldozes you until she does.

My number one would have been that Max Grodecki. He just came across as a complete idiot on the first week. It seemed like he was trying his best to avoid being seen at a car boot sale (how terribly lower class) or having to associate with the peasants. I was so glad he got ditched.

1) Maria. Just unable to listen to anyone but herself, gets tunnel vision and barks other people into submission.

2) Patrick, he may have flair, (I've yet to see it but y'know he may have some), but he's ruddy useless at everything, panics at the first sign of something going wrong, and isn't loud/ aggressive enough in the boardroom.

3) The girl with the big jaw (soz, but it's true). There's no beginning to her talents, she's had two weeks of doing absolutely nothing but pointing out others failings in a nasty way.

Do you mean Amy Corrigan? She gets on my nerves because she always seems like she's pulling a face of disgust, but I can't really hold that against her as it's obvious there's something wrong with her dentally.

1) Maria. She is number one because she comes across as both being a nasty and arrogant person, and having bad ideas on the tasks. I think it was appalling how she treated Sean, she really did pressure him into making that decision, and I think she should certainly have been fired. If she wins, I'm not watching the next series.

2) David. He has not done anything to make the tasks fail, but at the same time, he comes across as being someone who thinks he is a lot better than other people. He comes across as being quite sexist, and very manipulative. He also seems to have a bit of an obsession with dogs...

3) It pains me to say it, but Patrick. Although I really did like him in the first episode, I went off him in Episode 2. I don't know why he volunteered to do the pitch when he couldn't do it as well as the others - although I suppose if he hadn't done it, he might have been fired for lack of contribution as we've seen so often. You never know though, maybe in the next task he'll display some talent in something. I would have had Alice as my number 3 because of the way she treated Lucy, but I think Alice has showed more potential than Patrick, and I admired her honesty when she screwed up some of the words in the cookbook (even though she is dyslexic.)

So yeah... that's my three, though they could change.

The one who was extremely proud she couldn't spell.

I'd fire, on the strength of the last two tasks, the following three in the following order...

Week 3 - PATRICK
Well-intentioned, but regrettably useless. A liability in both tasks. Hope he keeps doing what he's doing, and I hope his business does well, but he's not adaptable. Doesn't have the skillset the Apprentice needs.

Week 4 - MARIA
Again, on the evidence we've got, she's a bit of a liability. Not seen her being an asset to a team - she just starts roaring when it looks like she's not going to get her way. It looked, on the last task, like she was so determined to be seen as a contributor that she'd take it incredibly personally if anyone dared question her. I can understand the fear, and I don't get the impression she's doing it because she's a horrible person so much as because she's scared she might get fired, but it doesn't matter. It's still destructive, when everyone else is trying to be constructive. Shape up or ship out.

Week 5 - ...NO IDEA!
I don't feel like I have enough information, at this point, to fire anyone else! David was a weird mixture of clever and offputting in the first week. I saw both sides of the Alice/Lucy inter-subteam spat, think they were both as frustrated as each other, quite like both subteams. Steven seems good, Andrew seems like a finalist... yeah, I feel like everyone else is showing different types of promise! Good luck to them.

I don't think either Patrick or Maria will go in Week 3, I think it will be someone we haven't seen much of yet.

The people who are often seen as not being very good in the first two weeks generally stay a little bit longer than Week 3, right back to Adele in Series 1 and Gbemi last year.

Yeah, that's the one. I've nothing against her face, it was just I couldn't for the life of me remember her name, because she's not standing out. Well apart from slating the people on the sub team.

And best bit, her trying to make Lucy responsible for the spelling mistakes, because she should've been there instead. Or the spelling was a problem because they were waiting for the pics, it should've given them ample time to run the text through a spell check tbh.

I may amend having her alone, Suges should've done a triple firing on the winning team.
