Lucinda, who despite seeming like a scatty eccentric, was a great people manager. Wasn't she a Project Manager in real life or something? I remember being impressed by her. So likeable too.
Also liked Tom Pellerau. I usually prefer the brainy ones rather than the gobby ones who are more aggressive, good at sales but not that bright (eg Ruth Badger). Intelligence goes an awful long way IMO, and certainly during my career all my favourite mentors and bosses have been super smart. They weren't perfect, noone is, but intelligence gave them, for example, strategic acumen and versatility. Contrast that with colleagues who were competent in their particular jobs but comparatively thick. Loads of the Apprentice candidates are like that IMO. |

Yasmina Siadatan (best ever candidate)
Lucinda Ledgerwood (brilliant manager and unafraid to be eccentric) James Max (level-headed, worked well with others and just a really nice guy) Tom Pellereau (brilliant candidate who just happened to be unlucky) Jim Eastwood (just amazing to watch) Jason Leech (every moment with him on screen was gold) Joanna Riley (several shining moments and a very strong candidate) Raef Bjayou (loved this guy) Tre Azam (so entertaining) |

Series 1 -
James Max - really lovely bloke. The QVC task with Saira was something else - to this day i still have a snigger to myself when i see someone wearing a wolf jacket. Paul Tollisi - arrogant tosspot but memorable. series 2 - The badger ! Does anyone remember the doctor lady who epically failed in the cat calender pitches? I still cringe when i remember how bad they were . Also Rachel ( i think??) who kicked off her shoes and started dancing around in the pitch.(or was she series 1??)Series 3 - Tre - the man often spoke sense but really went about things in an obnoxious way. Series 4 - Lucinda - Seemed to be genuinely lovely, and was bullied by several of the other women. Didnt like anyone else. Utter Grade A C*** awards go to ginger jenny ( nasty nasty vile specimen, Claire - total gobsheeet, NI Jennifer - cold, callous & arrogant). Blokes - all imberciles - including winner Lee McQueen. Extra shouts to "only gay in the village" Kevin Shaw for being a total moron. cant remember anyone else who i have liked that much..as the series has gone on there seems to be hardly anyone likeable on.

I have to say, I find it slightly odd that you can't think of anyone from Series 5 onwards who is more likeable that Paul Torrisi, who you yourself describe as an 'arrogant tosspot'.
