I have quite a few who I like but at the top are Roisin, Bianca and Jemma. Steven is also hilarious. Bianca edges it though!

I've taken a shine to Katie, and accepted that this means she's definitely not going to last. The women seem like quite a pleasant bunch, in all. Bianca's pleasant and credible, Nurun's pleasant and credible, I quite like Pamela and Jemma and Lindsay. I think I'd peg Sarah as a dark horse - she'll either be hypercompetent or hyperterrible, and I can't tell which.

Chiles seems like he might be the most credible of the blokes. Robert and Solomon seem tediously quirky, Steven is a breakdown waiting to happen, and other than that, there's not much to differentiate the men. Arses with haircuts!

At this stage, it's basically just guesswork, mind.

For the women Lauren and Roisin and for the men James and Mark. Though I can see Jemma becoming a sort of cult favourite.

Think that Steven and Daniel are going to annoy me very much, so expect them to go very far (although can you imagine either of them in a mixed team?). Same goes for Sarah, who will probably act all superior towards the other women.

By the way, Felipe seems like a good bet for an early exit (really non-descript, like a lot of the early male exits in past series).

I really like Roisin, she comes across as strong, confident, intelligent and well-adjusted. I can see her going far.

Steven, I always just love the characters and from the 60 second interviews he seems the biggest one so far.

Daniel. He will be fun to watch I think, a self opinionated mouthy bloke is needed and he seems to fit the bill admirably.

Of the women, Lauren is my current fave, but as all my previous "picks" crash and burn early on I'll hang fire on the lady front until I've seen them in action.

I like James and Roisin the best. I thought their interviews were most convincing about why they wanted to start a new business and their ability to do so whereas some of the interviews seemed a bit hollow or full of hot air about such as Sanjay and Steven. I have a hunch that Felipe or Daniel may go in the first week.

I like Katie and Solomon. They seem to have a good sense of humour. Not sure that's terribly important in business, though.

Steven because I think he will be an absolute trainwreck

As far as sensible candidates go, I like Nurun, Roisin and James

No idea... I'm finding all the pre-publicity a huge turn-off. Deep down I've always known it's completely contrived and one step away from being TOWIE but I've been able to park that thought and enjoy the show. Them cheesy trailers have really put me off this time round though and I'm 50/50 if I'll bother. As for getting invested in any particular candidate before the show airs, jeez, sounds ludicrous to me?!
