So there have been 8 winners so far. Which one was your favourite winner, the one you were most pleased to see win?

I would find it easy to say Yasmina for me.The winner to me is often one of the most boring, non descript or least likeable candidates. I really liked Yasmina.

Series 1 we had Tim, i mean to be fair he was a nice guy but boring.
Series 2 we had Michelle,boring
Series 3 we had Simon who i COULDN'T STAND. Kristina should have won of the two but i wanted Jadine to make the final and win anyway
Series 4 we had Lee,didn't like him at all
Series 6 we had Stella 'you know',ok i didn't really mind her too much 'you know' but she didn't stand out that much 'you know' still it was better than Baggs winning 'you know'
Series 7 we had.....:yawn::yawn::sleep::sleep::
Series 8,who won Series 8?

So yeah Yasmina was my fave winner

Yasmina was my favourite winner of the main show, but if we're counting Young Apprentice as well, then my favourite winner was Zara, as she's my all-time favourite candidate.

And Ricky won Series 8.

Yasmina, obviously.

Though I liked Stella, Ricky and Tom as well.

I liked Tom - the only winner so far that has seemed like a reasonably nice person as well.

Complete list of winners:

1 - Tim Campbell
2 - Michelle Dewberry
3 - Simon Ambrose
4 - Lee McQueen
5 - Yasmina Siadatan
6 - Stella English
7 - Tom Pellereau
8 - Ricky Martin

I think my favourite winners are Tom and Ricky from series 7 and 8. I've quite liked all the other winners though I went off Lee McQueen when he was mean to Lucinda Ledgerwood.

1 - I liked Tim but I wanted Saira to win.
2 - Was surprised Michelle won, wanted Ruth to win, though I liked Ansell too.
3 - I supported Simon to win after Jadine left.
4 - I wanted Lucinda to win so lost interest in the final. But overall I was supporting Claire to win when it came down to the wire, but thought Lee was okay.
5 - I supported Yasmina to win from the first episode.
6 - I supported Stella from the first episode aswell.
7 - I liked Gavin best for the first few weeks, then wanted Susan to win. Was pretty meh about Tom.
8 - I was backing Gabrielle or Nick to win, but when it came down to the final 2 I was a bit stuck as I hadn't really taken to either. Although I thought Ricky had the edge.

Overall I'd say I liked Yasmina best. She had extreme focus but also that spark of unpredictability and was the dark horse of the series.

My favourite doesn't usually win. I think the closest I came was Tom.

The winner who I think the most people have agreed about was Arjun from Junior Apprentice Series 1. I believe that I have only encountered one person who believed that he was not the right candidate to win that series.

My favourite winner was Tim Campbell.

And I was glad Yasmina and Stella were winners. I didn't support any of the other winners.

When you say you didn't support any other winners, is that just for the main series, or Young Apprentice as well? I'm just interested because as I mentioned, I have met few people who didn't support Arjun...

My word, Meglos, we pretty much are of a similar mind! I agree with pretty much all of this apart from I supported Susan from the start, I didn't mind Tom winning that series and I supported Kristina after Jadine left instead of Simon. Apart from that it pretty much sums up my opinion on each series!

That seems a bit harsh, don't you think?

My favourite has to be SIMON AMBROSE. He seems like a decent guy, and unlike most of the other winners he doesn't seem to think he is a celebrity because he won the show.

We've got Tom giving us his opinion on this year's batch and what not. Seems quite unprofessional to me, just get on with your job love.

Lee McQueen also seems OK. He doesn't seem to think he can sit and pick faults with this years contestants.

Heaven forbid, someone is airing their opinion on this year's series of The Apprentice! Rather ironic that you're complaining about that on a forum for people to do just that.

What? I didn't get a job with Sugar so God knows what you are banging on about. How am I being unprofessional? #wtf!

I didn't say you were unprofessional. I'm just saying, what's wrong with former candidates giving their opinions? It's just the same as what we do.

My favourite winner is definitely Yasmina. Tom second.

Not really - I haven't liked many of the others, Tom didn't seem like he was going to be the one to win, it was a real underdog victory. I think the fact that he's not a typical business person is what makes me like him more than the others.

Just the main series george. I haven't watched any of the Young Apprentice series yet.

Oh yes, you were the one I sent the link to one of the episodes to, weren't you? Sorry, I don't always notice people's online names; didn't realise it was you.

Yasmina and Tim were the most deserving winners imo.

Tom was my favourite winner, even though the change in format that series meant that it was pretty obvious that the inventor was going to win.

My least favourite winner will probably be this year's, as I don't really like any of the ones who remain.

I think a lot of people who watch The Apprentice don't watch Young Apprentice.

It certainly true of me and my friends.

Have you ever given it a go? Personally I prefer it. It's all on YouTube.

Yasmina was my favourite winner by far. I thought she was very strong in all of the tasks barring the sandalwood fiasco, and I loved her personality - pleasant, professional, but didn't take any crap! It was such a pleasant surprise when she actually won, because I really didn't think the board had taken to her at all!

I also really liked Michelle, who I think gets such an unfair rep based on what happened on the show. I actually think she was just as strong a performer as Ruth on the show, but didn't have the same flashy moments. I totally understood the decision to hire her. I liked Stella, though that may have been because a lot of the others sucked or were just unpleasant.

Also, a big mention to Zara from the Young Apprentice, who was scarily better than the rest of her competition, and most of the adult Apprentices of recent years for that matter.

The only winner who I really didn't like was Lee - he just never really did anything that impressed me at all, and benefited from being in a very unlikable group of contestants. I thought Tom was lovely, but to actually see him win after being a frequently poor performer just completely sucked, because it just proved that the 12 weeks prior were a completely pointless exercise.
