Jaz was hilarious tonight, I was sad to see her go. I thought her motivational speeches and enthusiasm were quite endearing

However, after the first episode I'd say my favourite candidate is Jordan. He sealed a good deal and stood up for Jason in the boardroom and stood up to Neil, who thinks he's all it! Still a long way to go obviously, but I'd say Jordan is a candidate to watch out for. I also think Tim is quite sweet too.

Uzma's got a chance, as has Leah. The boys most prominent in the edit didn't impress me, I can't see any of them as a winner. The grey haired bloke was barely in the edit so he's a dark horse for me, beardy bloke and that poor lamb who got criticised for hanging back were only really shown in the boardroom so I don't know about them yet.

I'm not sure yet. I like watching a few before I decide who I think will work.
But so pleased its back on.

Jordan was my favourite after watching the video and he remains my favourite after this episode. He's calm and competent so far. I also liked Myles, Leah and Natalie. I think Tim, Alex, Zee and (sort of) Luisa. But only sort of!

I have warmed to Tim as a nice person, not sure about his apprentice skills as yet.
Also the Irish girl is coming across as savvy and competent.

I like Leah, Sophie, Zee and Jordan at the moment. Also Jason is not bad but he won't go far.

Jordan. The guy with the glasses.
He seemed a pretty solid person and put the over-bearing Neil in his place in the boardroom.

Even though she didn't shine tonight, I liked Sophie's overall demeanour. There was a kind of quiet level-headedness about her, which was appealing. This contrasted strongly with the "fake hair, nails and breasts" and irritating lispy voice of the airhead with three businesses. And don't get me started on that "actually I'm a businesswoman, darling" one. Hate, hate, hate women like that.

No stand-outs amongst the men for me so far but the desperate-to-please one with the nervous body language amused me.

For comedy value, there's quite a few interesting characters in the boys team- Jason, Alex, Zee and Tim etc that I like. None of them have got a chance of winning though. At the moment, the most competent from the boys seem to be Jordan and Neil (even though he seems big headed). The girls are mostly bimbos who I do not really rate at the moment...except maybe the blonde doctor.

Haven't seen enough of Jordan yet, I think he has potential.

The guy Tim who seemed to be on coke or something like that. Doubt he will go far but I almost want to hug him for some reason.

I think Jason is going to be a good laugh but don't think he stays too long... Leah was the most impressive tonight but a bit too early to pick a favourite yet.

Is that the Mexican restaurant guy? He made me dizzy with all his ducking and diving moves whilst he was talking, I stopped listening to him!

Its only one episode, so difficult to see a favourite emerging yet. However I think the doctor stood out. She had a grasp of figures, which Sugar likes.

I think Uzmas role was over exaggerated. All she did was go through the yellow pages and shout out names of business. If she had done something like, we are in china town, and there is a pet store nearby (where we can sell the cat litter) and there is nik nak store (where we can sell the cat), and there is a clothes store (where we can sell the jacket) then it would have been impressive. However maybe she did do that but didnt come across in the edit.

I really dont like Lousia (three business). She will stab anyone in the back to get ahead. She slagged of Rebecca for only selling a couple of cases of water, and then quickly backtracked, saying she did a good job. Which Sugar pulled her up on.

Flappy hands guy... Tim?
He is unlikely to last long but I find him fun and less pretentious then most of the others.

Francesca, Jordan and Rebecca all seemed fairly strong, with Neil and Luisa being "strong but too annoying to win". Leah seems to me to be to be over-rated at this point, but she's got the right sort of personality to go far. She seemed very calm and collected but I can't point to one thing all episode she actually did, other than delegate the sales roles to the two strongest sales people (and then try and take one of them over) and the "do nothing and call it logistics" role to the dimbo.

Kurt might have something, when he actually speaks. Alex was fine this episode, but feels like he's going to overreach himself. Zeeshaan's ego is going to be his downfall, but he seems pretty capable otherwise. Maybe Natalie, but her only content was Nick saying that she'd panicked and sold too low. The rest seem like comedy fodder. Myles throwing in a whole caseload of batteries, that the team didn't even have, for the princely sum of £12.50 extra, was hands down the dumbest thing anybody not called Jaz did all episode.

I'm going to plump for Zeeshaan, he is hilariously bad and looks like a chubby Asian David Brent

I like him and want him to stay ........ So I expect he will leave tonight

The ice-queen with the black hair will be there or there abouts.
