Winner - Soloman
2nd - Roisin
3rd - Daniel
4th - Katie

I reckong Soloman will have a business idea that Sugar can relate too and want to push.

Wonder what Roisins is?!

no one has hit the right combination yet. Keep trying

1. Solomon
2. Roisheen
3. Mark
4. Sanjay / Katie

I dont think felipe or daniel will make finals, and biancas time is up too.

On the series so far Katie is massively ahead on points.
Roisin is now on Leah's story arc.

Mark is a major case of the ruthless salesman who goes at interview - if he doesn't implode beforehand. .

Bianca has a weak record - but she's proven she can do what she does for a living.

And there's Solomon. Very little case to win, pretty pointless many weeks. But he may have a technology proposal Lord Sugar likes. That said, his current business seems to offer to do something that I can do myself with the windows snip tool , and it looks something open to multiple competitors to copy. But that may not be what he is proposing. http://www.instabear.com/

if Mark does some thing too bad before the finals it could well be Bianca, Solomon, Roisin and Katie.

He may well then just reject the stronger candidates for whatever proposal he is most familiar with, or there will turn out to be problems with some that dictate the winner. .

Difficult to say without knowing their business plans.

Mark
Roisin
Katie
However, I suspect that Solomon might have a good business idea.

Solomon has always seemed quite strong to me, although not always present which could be his downhall. But out of all the candidates, he just seems like the most normal, which in itself is a strength, but Roisin is my favourite.

His business plan is something that will most likely be of interest since its a growing industry

Katie now back in this. Now I believe the F4 would be Roisin/Mark/Katie/Solly

To be fair he did EVERYTHING spectacularly stupid

I'll revise that to

Bianca - can't be sacked if she's not in the boardroom and could luck her way through the next couple of weeks.

With amendments I reckon I'll have it spot on

1) Roisin
2) Mark
3) Daniel
4) Bianca/Katie

Broadly agree with your assessment, although I think Solomon has been underestimated by many viewers. I agree he may well have a very interesting business plan, but he's also still in there on merit as he gets on well within whatever team he works in and he has sold very, very well (arguably even better than Mark) - we've seen that on the coach tours task (sold several tickets), the board games task (closed the deal with Waterstones despite Bianca's crippling exclusivity deal) and again here (not said explicitly, but he was clearly the best seller of the smaller-ticket items as we saw him sell boots plus one of those hanging chairs, which had an RRP of £495 or so).

Other than Sugar telling him he needed to man up a bit in the week 2 boardroom, I can't remember anyone having a negative word to say about him.

For the last couple of weeks, Katie has been the only person not to have been in the final boardroom. Let's look at the previous people who were in this position, to see how they did. May give us some hints as to how she does:

Series 1: Tim (though I'm not sure if he counts, as he was a bit of a technicality - he would have been in the boardroom as losing PM in Week 4, but Adele left before he could bring anyone back, so no one was that week)
Series 2: Paul
Series 3: Simon
Series 4: Lee
Series 5: Kate
JA1: Arjun/Emma
Series 6: Stella (not counting Raleigh)
Series 7: Helen
YA2: Lizzie
Series 8: Nick
YA3: Lucy
Series 9: Jordan

So no one in that position has gone on to win since Series 6, but before that it had happened the majority of years. There have been a lot of runners-up to have done it though.

From the edit so far, I think that the final (assuming that it's a two-person final like last year) will be two out of Katie, Roisin and Solomon, although I really couldn't say who will get to interviews.

Jordan. Heh. That ended well, didn't it?

Thanks George. Looks like your top three is the same as mine. So, Daniel, Felipe and Sanjay it is, then? *



* If it is, I'll eat my hat. I'm feeling pretty secure on this one.

Quite possibly!

After last night's episode, I'd say that Katie and Roisin would have to mess up big-time in order not to be the final two... but I've got an odd feeling that one of them's going to come a cropper next week.

So, with that in mind, I think it'll be Solomon plus either Katie or Roisin.
