Here are some statistics I've compiled from every episode so far:
* The most successful candidate so far is Richard, who won as a PM, has been on only one losing task and has never been in the final boardroom.
* The least successful position is tied between favourite-to-win Vana and favourite-to-be-fired-next Scott. Vana's on four losing teams, including one stint in the final boardroom and one as a losing project manager. Scott's been on only three losing teams, but two of the times were as project manager.
* Brett has been in the most final boardrooms.
* Karren has followed six out of eight of the losing teams; Claude has followed only two losing teams.
* The most successful PM so far is Selina, surprisingly, with two wins. She polarises this position with Scott, who has two losses. I personally would've expected it to be the other way around.
* Vana and Elle have worked with every other candidate, including each other. Joseph only has to work with Selina, and Brett only has to work with Charleine.
* On You're Fired, only three of the candidates fired out of ten (Aisha, Natalie and Elle) have had near unanimous audience agreeing to their firing. The rest (even Dan...) had a large disagreeing.
And to finish...
* All time record - Elle is now the longest-lasting candidate to never appear on a winning team.

Interesting stats. Sort of hope Richard ends up in boardroom of the losing team next week.

Selina has lost 5 tasks even, so she is in the least succesful position

And that is impressive as two out of the three wins came when she was PM (her only win as team member was in week 6).

And Brett and Charleine also have four losses (with Brett being the worst of the candidates with 4 losses, with three final boardroom visits; without one as PM, so they clearly have something against him).

I am really stuck on who will win this time and I bet LS is also. Usually I have a fair idea by now and often get it right. This time there is not just a clear winner but also none who are really worth winning. Would you really trust any of them with money. I suppose Claude will be holding their hand and I am sure that LS will be relying a lot on him and also who should be his partner. I havent noticed Claude yet favouring anyone but maybe I missed it. I personally cant see Brett, Scott or Vana, winning. Joseph doesnt 'look' the part neither does Gary. That leaves Richard and the girls. I would say that Selina still has a chance. She is not stupid and has been in business.

So Selina wins whenever she is PM and the rest of the team has to listen to her and loses when she is not PM and can be ignored. Coincidence?

So far, the winner has been someone with previous experience doing whatever it is they want to set up. Against what are perceived to be Lord Sugar's prejudices, this includes medical brainbox Leah and the ex-corporate Ricky and Mark. So far, he has not invested in anyone wanting to set up a completely new venture.

We don't know the business plans yet but I shall be betting on whichever finalist says to Lord Sugar -- "this thing I've spent years doing for someone else, I now want to do for myself".

This is not the Dragons Den scenario but is probably how most new companies start.

He's like Roisin, in the sense that his track record is kind of okay, but he has a very good work ethic. Lots of strong candidates aren't necessarily the statistical best.

Ah, but Selina has only been in the boardroom once on these occasions
I've got this whole points-based system worked out and, basically, it's
0 - Fired
1 - Losing PM
2 - Boardroom
3 - Losing Team
4 - Winning Team
5 - Winning PM.
It rewards successful teams more than actually decent candidates, but it's quite hard to put a measure on the candidates if you catch my drift. Scott and Vana currently have 25 points in total whilst Richard has 30 - something (excel won't open the document :|)

I know, I completely see what you mean. But Mark wasn't too much of a predicted result, was he?
I've started another forum about this issue, actually - the run down on the candidates one

That's all nice, but Selina has still lost the most tasks out of the current candidates and I would be very surprised if that statistic changed in the upcoming two weeks
