It's a sham! In all three years I've supported the best candidates (Saira, The Badger and Tina) and all came second and were ROBBED. I feel cheated-I probably won't watch series 4!

It's too late to boycott it, it's finished.

He has cheated himself - If he picks idiots for tv shock a lot of people will turn off.

Everyone knows Kristina was 100times better than Simon.

Hope Simon loses him 5million every day for the rest of his life.

It does make you wonder whether you should bother watching next time. What is the point of the show? What's the point of the tasks and asking them to prove themselves? It turns out that the candidate who's utterly incapable is hired and the best one by far gets the boot. Seriously, what's the point?

Thank SrAlan , I thought I'd give the series a chance after last year's disaster but you've just put the final nail in the coffin for the show for me.

Well I'll definitely be watching Series 4 and the American version when it's aired over here. Just because I don't like some of his decisions hasn't stopped me watching it yet!!

I'm not watching any more of Series 3 but I will watch Series 4. I personally think Simon is better for the property role Siralan had in mind. Kristina can do something more suited to her own talents outside of Amstrad and will probably be thankful in the long run that she didn't actually win.

A bit like the Badger. Her show Badger or Bust is pretty good.

How to you, Mr I am so sucessful and know better than a man who has made £500 million from scratch, know that Kristina was better?

Jealousy also springs to mind:

but this show is about finding an apprentice. simon can be moulded. he's young, he has ideas, he has a lot of time to learn and grow. he is an apprentice. like he said, kristina is established.

anyway look at the badger, she has shone by not being hired by him. if kristina is like her then she'll do the same.

Why pick her to be an apprentice candidate then?

The point is its an entertainment programme.

If it doesn't entertain you,its best you don't watch it.

But then again neither Saira nor the Badger have done that badly since being on the programme. I'm sure that Kristina has lots of very interesting offers waiting for her

Why say something like that, thats just plain nasty. Simon was a worthy opponant but trust SAS decision will ya? He knows what the job is and who he needs. It isnt just about who is the best at sales and who manages people better its more than that. To those who speak of boycotting thats the most ridiculous thing i ever heard. DS amazes me sometimes. This is a business show and there is more to what goes on than we see. Grow up everyone and be happy for Simon. Kristina will be fine. Business is business. SAS makes the decisions ........End of

I have to say I preferred Kristina, but I think that Simon suits the job that SA has him lined up for.
I will still watch the next series, despite wanting the Badger to win last year and Kristina this, I still find it entertaining.

True: he has other people's ideas, e.g. Tre's..

It's just a shame that she herself is so "unwatchable"
