I thought we ought to do one of these, as it hasn't been done for a few years. We could also do one in early 2015 after Series 10.

Basically how this works is that you rank all 127 candidates from the 9 series - you then PM me your rankings, and everyone's votes will be combined to show the msot and least popular candidates.

Here is the list of all the candidates (in spoiler tags):

You have until 9pm on Friday the 17th of October to send me your rankings, and the results should start roughly a week after that.

Happy ranking

Normally I would complain that you haven't included Young Apprentice, but I think it's going to be difficult to rank this number of people as it is...

I may get back to you, but I'm quite busy and with so many candidates to rank, I may not get around to it.

You could rank ten or twenty each day?

I'll have a go at this. I've done large rankings for other shows but not The Apprentice before.
Google and wikipedia will be of some help for a few candidates I can't remember too well.

Can I ask if you used a particular program to work out the rankings?

I've never organised one of these things (I doubt I would have the patience), I meant I just like adding my own list to the mix. lol

Pffftttt.........finished my list (on paper).

Won't give anything away except for the fact that my no. 1 and no. 139 are from the same series.

And that each series is represented in my top 11 (ok, a bit cheating).

Ok, I haven't received enough rankings yet to make this worthwhile, so I'll extend the vote till 9pm on Saturday, and will decide then if it is worth doing.

There are 5 rankings now in total.

If you don't vote, don't gloat when your favourite comes in at #139.

A little over 48 hours left to vote!

22 HOURS LEFT TO VOTE

I have still had a slightly poor turnout, but I am going to go ahead with it, even if I get no more votes

Sorry I haven't done it, been busy and it's such a big task. I may still do it, but no guarantees.

I think that the flaw with this kind of game is that people in recent years will get more votes, simply because people remember them better or maybe weren't watching early on.

Yeah I guess as long as you have the numbers beside each candidate, 1 for favourite, 139 for least favourite

Of course! Because, I'm a nerd, I've... ahem... even colour-coded by Series...
