The Apprentice Series 9 Spoilers Thread *CAUTION* MAY CONTAIN SPOILERS!
Well, different spoilers have been floating around so I thought I'd put them all in one place and we can discuss them here!
![]() Most of these spoilers are courtesy of BelligerentBoss, Hownwbrowncow and several others (I'll try to say who said what). General Observations

Twitter Pics This brilliant thread has several Twitter Pics of the candidates last year:

Week 1 Not much is known but according to RT, Jason is the Boys PM and the PMs have to volutunteer in the boardroom: http://www.radiotimes.com/episode/wj...---1-container.
Spoiler
Tomorrow we'll presumably learn what Task 3 is and next week after the first episode airs, we'll learn more about who makes it to Mixed Teams due to Intro Clips. Does anyone have anything to add?

Luisa and Jordan were never in a relationship according to the Mirror: Quote:
The show's not even started and already the Apprentices are said to be bonking in the boardrooms - but not so in the rumoured case of Luisa Zissman and Jordan Poulter. Contrary to reports, my source says: "Never have and never will". There we have it.
My preliminary "investigations" suggest that Luisa may have been fired between 8 - 17 October but it's difficult to confirm as Luisa's tweets are protected.

My guess would be that she would be fired around Tasks 6-9 if that were true as a rough estimate. |

Well, a quick search on one of the candidates has found out that

If you search the web on that company name then you can get all the details of this start-up company. |

Week 3 is Flat Pack: Quote:
3/12. The hopefuls are summoned to the home of the Design Council, where Alan Sugar sets them a design-based task - they have to come up with an inventive piece of flat-pack furniture, before producing prototypes and pitching their products to retailers. The candidates soon get creative, with one team bringing a folding chair to the table, while the others decide to manufacture a multifunctional cube - but it isn't long before problems begin, with mixed-up measurements and internal squabbles threatening the process.
http://www.radiotimes.com/episode/wn...---3-flat-packBecause there is no mention of a team mix-up, I'm inclined to believe that Boys will win one task next week and Girls will win the other. Sadly no hints as to who's there, but we'll probably be able to work it out next week with intro clips. Of course, this isn't concrete, but it's an educated guess. |

Francesca recently started a new company Show Fashion Ltd on 25 March 2013, so looks like she didn't win.
But one bit of unconfirmed info suggests that she may have lasted beyond 17 October. So far based on info provided by other FMs, the frontrunners appear to be Neil and Kurt. |

BBC Apprentice have tweeted this:
https://twitter.com/bbcapprentice/st...51608833273856 The "man" part is interesting as this is in the boardroom preview and is said by one of the women (Jaz?). Does this mean girls lose first task? Tbh, could be from the results boardroom. Yeah listening to the clip again, I reckon it is Jaz... |

Leah seems to be busy expanding her medical aesthetics biz, so doesn't sound like she won either:
http://www.londonderrysentinel.co.uk...ands-1-4820044 Strangely, I can't find any info about her company LT Medical or its clinics despite their alleged popularity and success. |

Also the info on LT Medical you mentioned was from the article I'd quoted, so there's still no independent verification of its existence or alleged success. |

Also, are you sure that the info on Sophie in the OP is correct?
Spoiler

The girl's team is called Endeavour according to the RT review of Week 3.
It says that the teams still won't be mixed even in Week 3.

A little twist here regarding Kurt's store in Liverpool. It is located in one of the store sections formally occupied by Rapid Hardware, which itself was featured in the Series 5 of The Apprentice.
Lord Sugar was very flattering of this family run business, one of the largest of it's kind in the UK when it was located in Renshaw Street. Unfortunately, the company made the fatal decision just 6 months after the show to re-locate into an empty building further into the centre of Liverpool. Within 2 years it was in serious financial trouble, and it has since gone bust owing £3m. It blamed roadworks for the problem, but the new location had lost the easy car access of its old location, and was always going to struggle to supply DIY & hardware products to foot traffic. Under those circumstances, it could be a good omen that Kurt is located where he is! |

Myles recently formed Integrale Management on 14 April 2013 with 2 other guys. It's a "super-team" of multi-industry specialists with the focus of securing talented young British Formula 3 racer Alex Lynn a drive in Formula 1.
If this was Myles' biz plan, then it looks like he didn't win. |

If you gave me a free bet right now and told me I had to put money on any of the candidates winning, it would definitely be Neil. |

Following some of the limited info trails available, I'm starting to think that Jaz will be the first one fired on Tuesday.
Also, it looks like Sophie was out by 8 October. So if she's still in the Broadway market task filmed on 7 October, that'll be her last task. P.S. Just discovered You're Fired was filmed today. |

Was it You're Fired for Week 1 AND Week 2 or just Week 1? I wonder how they're going to do that since the people going to the 2nd weeks YF won't have seen the first episode so it'd be confusing for them unless they're filmed one after the other? |

I'm starting to think that. Since she's the oldest one, it makes sense that she's the girls PM Week 1. Plus shes seems ti be in the boardroom in the first week as well. Shame about Sophie but I guess I should wait for her performance on the show!

Sounds like an investment-type plan, which we already know LS has reservations about. I certainly wouldn't go for that.
