I want to know katie's reaction to that show, it's weird how even the final revolves around her lol, shows how good she was in the show and what a character she is

I know I am stating the obvious but they film 2 endings with both being hired but they do not reveal who won until the programme was shown tonight. So what have they both been doing since the final episode was filmed in November?

No! This is so wrong!

Simon the one whose only acheivment is buying some house with granny's inheritance and leaving his tennant without a washing machine or working telly.

It is Horrendous!
SAS just said he is moving more into property and wants him in a real estate role. He might as well just read Simons's CV where he claimed to be a property developer.......

After the last task, both endings were recorded, then they both worked for Sir Alan for six months, and apparently he made his decision after that period. Have no idea when they were actually told for definite.
Said to be told at lunch yesterday....when he employs them for 6 months do they get £50k each or £100k?

oh purlease.. lol it really wasn't that bad - no more than Simon's patronising 'do you know your pin number'?
It's funny what people find distasteful and I did find that very distasteful. Maybe, it's because I know how hard it is for someone to try and tell their kids that they really can't afford to give them what their friends have. I can honestly say I can't remember Simon asking about the pin and didn't pick up on that at all.

WOT?? what have they been doing for Sir Alan? So his decision is not based on the show, but more on how the candidates get on day to day with his staff.

I was really glad Simon won, especially based on tonights show.

I thought his building idea was much stronger than Kristina's. Plus I thought her presentation came across as a bit cheesy. Especially by playing the Robbie Williams song when the curtains opened. I didn't think The Phoenix worked as a name, it reminded me too much of The Phoenix Club in Phoenix Nights (i.e somewhere that was a bit tacky).


Simon's reaction made me laugh - it was like someone had set off an electric shock under his chair. Plus his best bits on the You're Hired show were great.


I had forgotten about the lollipop thing with Kristina and thought it was quite a horrible thing to do when I saw it again. It was certainly in the realms of exploitative - whereas with Simon and the pin number lady - she can easily turn around and say no. Giving a child a chocolate lollipop then asking the parents for £2.50 is pretty wrong in my opinion.

Isn't Simon the person who apparently printed off a list of contact numbers from an internet site that were out of date and included companies that they would no way need?

I think it is funny people bring up the 'wrong' attitude towards Kristina selling the lollipops, it was that attitude that got Sophie fired.

according to teletext, some of the fired candidates were so appalled by SAS' decision that they considered walking out from the Youre fired show. Im guessing Naomi would have been one of them...

So some contestants were unhappy with Simon winning that they were considering not turning up to the Adrian Chiles programme.

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/pages/liv...n_page_id=1773

Some of the other Apprentice candidates were said to be angry with the outcome and considered walking off the Adrian Chiles spinoff show The Apprentice – You’re Fired in protest.

Cambridge graduate Mr Ambrose, 27, whose father and grandfather are both self-made millionaires, will be handed control of a new £70 million hotel and golf course development.

Well it seemed to me that it was his team that got him the job rather than him. What ideas of Simon's were actually used?

I think you are right about two endings being filmed because both Kristina and her son looked totally shocked in the programme that followed. Kristina was so focussed on winning that she failed to consider the proposition that she might actually lose.

to be honest - whys and wherefores aside - while watching that final programme I really wanted Simon to win - Kristina (who I like) seemed very smug in that programme - she seemed to have an attitude about her that she thought she had already won - also she was horrible to Adam (they all were sniggering about his ideas) and I didn't like her patronising attitude towards him. And finally, her presentation (although good) didn't come over as genuine as Simons did.

Considering that at several times in the series Simon looked either ready to cry or be sick and Kristina always seemed so self assured, at the presentation Simon was the one who came over as most confident and at ease and Kristina seemed very nervous.
