Felipe is a lovely guy but I feel like it was the right decision.

Tonights episode for me showed three things:
- There's always been something about Katie that I haven't quite liked. I've found that she's been pretty passive aggressive for the majority of the time, particularly the car/boardroom scenes. I feel like this outed her as quite vindictive & nasty with her total 360 on Daniel as soon as she was brought back. Think she should remember that 3 people have to be brought back and they got fined £50 for the rope - which was the amount they lost by.
- I felt like Daniel got a huge beating but it was pretty undeserved. I hate when team members go back on what they've said previously in the boardroom just because they lost and they realize they need to find a scapegoat. Not been a huge Daniel fan in the past but I think he did pretty well tonight, even better than Mark for a change. Nick's comments were really unjust & rude about him in the boardroom and same with Katie's. His & Felipe's friendship was so cute lmao when they crossed the road! :')
- Bianca has once again come out of it like a shining star, and has really blossomed. There's always been something about her edit that has pointed her out as a potential winner for me, mainly because even when she made her two and only broadcast mistakes (selling the tickets cheap to the students on the tour guide task & the borough exclusivity to that tiny store) were almost totally brushed under the carpet during their episodes and now she's being highlighted consistently as a strong candidate and a great performer.

Thoroughly enjoying this series, such a shame that it's almost over already. :'( I spend all year looking forward to The Apprentice.

Would be pretty happy with anybody winning to be honest with the exception of Katie & I don't think Daniel/Sanjay can win at this point either.

When have they talked back to him? They're deferent to a ridiculous degree - tonight being a perfect example, when all of the losing team (with the possible, half-hearted, exception of Felipe) immediately agreed with every one of Sugar's arbitrary decisions as to whether the skeleton and rope should count.

I honestly can't recall a single case where any of them have shown any sign of defiance before him.
In the Boardroom, which is supposed to be a place of discussion, and ends up like a Roman Circus. They never wait until LS stops speaking, and jump in in mid sentence, with defiance in their voices. In essence they don't talk, they shout and vent their spleen, which isn't the way to get anywhere. or they fight amongst themselves with viciousness. It's not good to see this happening week after week.

If this happened in a Council Chamber for instance, security would haul the miscreants away, and about time same happened in the Apprentice Boardroom!

I've been a fan of Katie since the beginning but tonight has put me off her to be honest. Her and Mark both blatantly tried to pull the wool over Sugar's eyes and made out that they knew nothing about the skeleton when they did, they even applauded Felipe for his quick thinking! Neither of them spoke up and said 'Actually guys, don't do that!', had they done so I would have understood how angry they were.

Not to mention the fact that they got to the boardroom with time to spare, surely they could and should have stopped somewhere on their way to the boardroom to find a pair of scissors or a bloody knife to have cut the rope? I am sure the woman at the garden centre offered to find them a scissors but they just shrugged that off and said it would be fine as it was....

To me, Daniel didn't do much wrong in this task to be fair. He got a decent deal for the chicken, vetoed an idea from Felipe which I still think was a good one and should not have led to them being fined and he managed the team well. They got out there and started going to places and negotiating asap, no faffing around like Sanjay who made a complete and utter mess of the whole thing. I didn't like the way Katie turned on him as soon as it was known they'd lost, she'd bigged him up so much then as soon as they lost the knives were out again.

The rope was round a tree, how did they get it off? I don't recall anyone untieing it.

Another thing on this task is always the lack of basic knowledge that the candidates show. I've never lived in London but I know that if I want a diamond I'll go to Hatton Garden and the Golder's Green has a high proportion of Jewish Residents so it's quite likely they will find a Kosher butcher.

Whoa - Katie was FEISTY when she was in the boardroom last night. I always thought she was a sweet kind of girl but whoa she was lethal. Were there a weapon in the boardroom Katie would use it on Felipe before LS even said a word

We haven't really seen Katie under pressure, though. This was her first time in the final three and her behaviour there was quite unpleasant. Although not really much worse than we normally see, she still went down in my estimation as a result.

She seemed outraged that anyone dared to bring her back into the final 3.

He's Columbian. He shouldn't even be on this show.
Only 10/20 contestants were native British or Irish, including the Austalian (assuming he's British). This is not representative of "modern Britain" which is 80% native.

Really annoyed the better team lost, just because Sugar got outsmarted and didn't like it. You could just tell things were going too well for Daniel's team. Roisin will probably win now but all she seems to do is follow the team leader, agree with decisions and flutter her eyelashes at people to get good deals.

Daniel is JEWISH? Why have I seen him crossing himself, like a catholic, in previous episodes then?!
According to my Jewish cousin, he was merely checking that everything is where it should be:

spectacles, testicles, wallet, watch

I had to laugh when Karen lauded Roisin for the diamond deal and said the seller was like putty in her hands.

Roisin got the deal by putting on her best simpering little girl act and flirting with the dealer.

Wasn't Karen horrified by Sarah's idea to use her femine charms to get the best deal?

Some feminist Karen turns out to be!
