Have they been working for Sugar
In the past, the finallists have worked for Sugar for around 6 months before the final. Have this pair been working under his roof for the last 12 months or still working at their former jobs?

no, because it will reveal the winner and then some idiot is going to reveal the winner to the nation.
This is because the winner forms a company with Lord Sugar and all these records are filed with companies house which is publicly searchable. I rememebr initially the apprentice was hot topic and there was a lot of buzz about it. I think it's lost it's shine and I doubt journalists will be bothered to leak the winner now - i wouldn't be surprised if the show gets shelved to bbc3 |

Lord Sugar did file climb online months ago - it wa in the spoiler thread.
I don't think they work for him in the interim anymore since the prize changed to a business investment - that was only in the old format where he gave them a job and had to assess them as employees before he made his final decision. |

No chance. While the show is past its peak, for sure, it's still pulling in 6-7 million viewers every week and wiping the floor with the competition in its time slot. It will stay on BBC1.

But it's a long time to keep them hanging about after an already lengthy process, it's not like they can definitely get good temp jobs
