This is the most messed up schedule I have seen. I realised it is on only now. Seeing the state of the forum, I guess none of the regulars realised it either
The final final is Wednesday 9 p.m. when they are interviewed.

Jordan's family looked like they should have been in The League of Gentlemen.

We live about 100 metres from where Neil's party was just shown! I had no idea he was from around here!!
I'd move immediately

Maximising the positives here for Leah, and Luisa. They rewrote the farm shop spiel to give Luisa more credit, and Nick's been very gushing.
More credit has been given to Neil on this show. Luisa second

LS has dreadful taste but I think that's largely due to Karen giving glowing references to both of the horrid little trolls

Leah and Francesca came out as pretty likeable, I thought. Luisa came out of this as more likeable than previously, but that's coming from a low base. Neil still looks like a really strong contender, but also still like a knob as well. Jordan looks worse than ever.

Nope, the final is next week. The interviews are not the last episode, although they have been for the last two years.

It is in the nature of this episode that all candidates are boosted, and all five seemed reasonably impressive. Neil has a solid sales background. Leah and Jordan both seem very bright, especially Leah who was top of her class at medical school. Francesca and Luisa each run three businesses so are certainly entrepreneurial.

Francesca and Jordan seem more viable candidates now. Before this, I was wondering quite what they were doing on the programme.

Though thinking back, I'm still not really sure quite what Jordan and Neil do for their day jobs.

I'm amazed ... that programme actually made me dislike Neil even more than I already did. I didn't think that could happen.

Neil's wife laughing-off how 'controlling' he is. I hate being controlled - but then, I'm still single so I suppose that makes me the loser!

I'm not sure many ladies would stand for only picking the their wedding dress with no other input in their weddings.

Strange no mention of Luisa's husband ?

I know that its always very glowing about the candidates this programme, but this was a hatchet job on Jordan.
Found it slightly negative about Neil being controlling. Gushing about Leah (but maybe too much ??)
Francesca made to look "ordinary" and Luisa had her "posh" toned right down.

If I was to analyse the tone of edit I would say they were pushing Francesca and Luisa - if this was a public vote (like a Strictly filmette).
However it is not a public vote, so maybe they are preparing us for a Luisa v Francesca final.
These are the only two candidates that we don't seem to have any information on their business plans in the forums.

Do we know that she's married? As far as I know, she could be a single mum... or has it been revealed somewhere that she has a husband? I haven't read many press releases on these candidates...

From the thread : Luisa's company is only worth £194

I wonder if this will be disclosed in the interviews:

According to the last accounts, Luisa's company Boutique Trading Ltd has a net worth of £194. This is even less than Alex's troubled company Prestige Slate which was worth £555. You can check her directorships under her real name Louisa (not Luisa) Zissman.

Her businesses appear to be run by her husband Oliver Zissman and he's listed them on his Twitter account. Moreover, major decisions were made in these businesses when Luisa was away filming this series.

Her husband's business Totally Fitness Ltd when bust in 2008 with unpaid debts of over £1 million. All 3 of his companies are now dissolved.

A credible business partner for Lord Sugar?
She's probably a single mum since she - allegedly- started banging Jordan after the filming finished !!

She's married to a guy called Oliver Zissman, he runs or co-owns her current businesses or something like that.

A friend of mine says Leah was very nice to talk to at the hospital she works at.

They tell us on their sites - assuming they are up to date

http://www.neilclough.com/

http://www.jordanpoulton.com/ Jordan tells us - but only if we speak his language

They all look more rounded and viable after the Final 5 show. Some I think look more clearly strong, and some stronger than others.

The problem is how many people actually saw the Final Five Programme after they moved its showing time till the twilight zone? They have done a good job setting up everyone's case for the next stage, but I suspect that a big percentage of the audience for wednesday won't have seen the key exposition of the story.

I also noticed, unless I missed it, that Louisa was the only one who had no friends talking about her.

According to the papers, Luisa and her husband are still living together in the same house.

Luisa recently tweeted that she was getting divorced.

I have The Apprentice on series link on my planner and it included 'The Final Five' and switched times when the schedule changed. Those without recorders and series link or just casual viewers would have missed out though. Although it is on iPlayer.

I noticed Luisa had no friends endorsing her as well. They dragged up some very young looking employee to say nice things about her (well, she would have to, wouldn't she?) but no old school or college friends or former work mates. I thought her mum came across as quite pushy so no doubt that's where Luisa gets it from.
I heard she was married to the guy who started the Total Fitness chain but that they had split up.
Leah seems to have everything going for her. Looks, brains, great social life, nice family. (Bitch!)

Lord Sugar doesn't like people who are too perfect though. Ruth, Kristina, Kate, Helen...

Lusia said in the voiceover about being 'a single working mother', I didn't realise that Francesca was from Leeds either, she certainly doesn't sound like a Leeds lass. Jordan looks toatlly different now compared with the family photos. Finally, Leah's sister - Wow!

I really have pity on her daughter 'Dixie' growing up with a mother who is 'hopping and bopping'.

She says she wants to do the best for her.

I would like to tell Louisa, it is not about giving her daughter everything she wants, but about her mother creating a stable relationship.

It did say that when she's not working, she does make a real effort to spend time with her daughter to create a bond there. I think we have to be very careful judging people on their personal lives.

Wow, Karren did a nice little hatchet job on Jordan, didn't she? TBH, I find her opinions unhelpful and totally baseless...
