I think it may be a reference to Tre. He`s a family man.

It might not be Tre...but arent there a final four (with a live final) so he has 3 more to pick from?

Am trying to think who would quit to spend more time with their family............could be Lohit?

I can`t believe they`d put themselves through that hell and then quit at the final hurdle. Incredible!

I would lieterally scream at the TV if one of the two women quit as those two women have been my faves this whole time. What i want to konw is that, how can SA get down to his last 2.......that hasnt happened yet. According to other sources, SA has revealed he is having 4 in his final!

But he has to decide which two to go into the final after they all go through the rigorous interviews from SAS`s advisors. So he could have offered a job to this person, been turned down and then had to offer it to his third choice. Probably the person who turned it down was sworn to silence.

Come to think of it - it might be Katie. He asks if they are there to raise their profile, or genuinely want to work with him.

Grrrrrrrrrr! I want to now RIGHT NOW!!!!

And someone doesn`t have to have a child to quit - they could be quiting to look after their parents, for example.

This really does call the vetting of contestants into question. I don't really believe the "looking after the family" as a reason for not accepting the job. After all these are supposed to be high flyers who want to learn from one of the country's most successful businessmen. By offering this as a reason for not accepting the positions offered to them they have reduced the show to a BB type series. This really is a slap in the face for people like Adam who genuinely joined the show to learn.

NB: Someone did post this news earlier in the week (and was slated for it) saying it was Kristina and then re-posted saying he got the name wrong. Therefore I'm guessing it's Katie. If it is Katie then the people like Nick and Margaret are also at fault for not spotting this earlier.

Katie

I'm not placing the blame solely on N&M but, they see a lot more than we do and must have picked up on it. I also agree that SAS must also accept responsibility for not firing these people once they're in the BR but, he is probably acting on the advice of those who are with the candidates. However, on the whole it's the vetting procedure which is at fault, for not sifting out the "wannabee BB candidates" as opposed to those who genuinely want to learn about Big Business.

With Michelle unable to finish her contract, and now this, the show is beginning to lose credibility. As far as I know this hasn't happened in the US version, and maybe our producers should look at how they manage to choose winners who last the course.

You could be right. He did have doubts about her prior to this. But I wonder if it is her, then what she hoped to gain? She`s not coming across as a very good person and is quite a back-stabber. Who the heck would want to employ her after watching her on the show?!

The BBC website says Katie is a single mother of two. If it is Katie that turns SAS down the editing she is getting makes sense.

It sounds a lot like Katie to me from the descriptions. I'll be quite annoyed if she gets that far and that is who SAS wants Whatever happens its gonna be very interesting!

Her editing isn`t sympathetic, that`s for sure. But then they didn`t put the words into her mouth that she spouted. The things she said about some of her fellow contestants were really quite vicious.

Kristina

Oks, if it is Katie, maybe she did it cos she's realised how badly she's come across on the TV and doesn't want the job cos she knows none of the public will support her. I also would not be one bit surprised if it was her cos she's completely ruthless at heart.

I can't really see Katie being SAS's favourite above others at that point, but if she's a single mother, then maybe it's possible.

I also think it's the kind of thing that Katie would do.

God I hope it's not Kristina...but then again if it's Katie, that means she doesn't get fired! And we don't get to see her face when she's fired!

Grr...I wish I hadn't read that story, but I couldn't resist!

....somebody may get the name wrong when both names begin with the letter 'K'. It would be quite a natural mistake to make.

I can well understand why someone might get to the end of the series and change their mind without N and M seeing signs. Some people like the chase more than the victory.

I can also see Katie, Tre or Katrina having the strength of mind to decide they don't want the job and taking some delight in saying so. Its the perfect way to get attention. In fact, who would want a job at Amstrad and a fairly average salary for a high flyer after all that media exposure
