I think LordSurAlan marked their cards for them though. It was made quite clear to all of them that if hes brought back for just being an "irritant" the PM would be fired. 
Sugar and Nick went a tad too far in defending Stephen today and I think that it was evident that they didn't want him in the boardroom. Sugar all but told Felipe not to bring him in.
And, bearing in mind he gave good advice about going back for the T-shirts, it would have been a travesty if he had been brought back in.

It was perfectly understandable. It's the first week if Stephen learns to laugh at himself he could be in for the long haul.

Agreed.
Also I'm pretty sure he wanted to sell the potatoes while they were waiting for the T shirts to be printed but, was shouted down by Chiles.

Yes I suppose - however talented (or not) he is it wont matter because it doesnt seem like he can work in a team without getting peoples backs up, Even in the relaxed house atmosphere at the end he was asking someone to be quiet so he could finish - who does that??

Yes, and he got interrupted by the two returnees as they all clapped and hoorah'd the people they'd happily backstab.
Anyone get the feeling that Steven may actually have a potentially amazing business proposition to offer Alan Sugar, so he sees him as a 'keeper'?

Steven is comedy gold, but agree that he wasn't the reason for the guys losing.
Is Steven a fan of Arsenio Hall btw?.....

Totally agree. Seriously, do not misjudge this guy. He's had a site (http://www.property-resolution.co.uk/) and a supporting business (Ugoalah Consulting Ltd, 06519691) on the go for three years or so. Then, just two weeks ago, he registered another limited company, Property-Resolution Ltd, 09243447 to align the business under.
Look at what he does, he invests in property, so he is no mug. But more importantly, SO DOES LORD SUGAR! Steven is a seriously great fit for Lord Sugar, there is no way he is going to drop a guy who is a like minded businessman, certainly not this early in the game (if at all)!

Was he though? Or was he simply telling them about of the conversations that went on in the board room?

Wasn't it him that said his proposal was a house for people with learning disabilities?
As much as I dislike him as a person I do have to agree that what he said did make sense a lot of the time and he didn't deserve to be brought back despite being very annoying. I still don't rate his overall business skills though but it is early days.

That's what I thought.

Yes and if that extends to care homes, then LS is likely to be interested as care homes can only grow with an ever ageing population. He has got to be in with a shout.
I feel like he's an adult version of Harry M from Young Apprentice. Not completely useless, but has very poor social skills, takes any criticism as a personal attack and is very hard to work with. Harry M has the worst record in the history of the show, even internationally I believe. It will be interesting to see how well Steven fares.

I think there's more to Steven than meets the eye. I'm not sure about his business plan - sounds a bit too 'worthy' for Sugar - but it's easy to misjudge someone on task one where everyone's trying to shout over everyone else. On first viewing I'd take Steven over Pamela, for instance - at least he tells you to your face, whereas Pamela took every opportunity both on task and in the boardroom to show exactly what she thought of Sarah and undermine her (although, of course, she may have said something to her face and it was left on the editing floor).

With a Net Worth of £ 5,525.... Do the Apprentices know about this thing called "Google" and "Companies House"...? Cuts through the BS.
I rarely even remember the names of candidates from the first couple of episodes but at this point, it feels like Stephen might just be my most favourite Apprentice candidate EVER. But remind me I said that in a few weeks in, when he is annoying the hell out of me
