Well hopefully SAS will realise his mistake. If he wanted someone he could mould then why not go for the best of the ready to mould ones? Naomi? After hiring a pretty blonde last time he didn't want to seem as an idiot again. Oh wait...he did.

No im dead seriouse.What exactly did he do wrong? and don't use the tv presenting thing because sir alan said himself that he wern't intrested in presenting, it was items to sell, which simons item sold the most.

But SAS was pretty interested in presenting last night when he was praising Simon for holding the floor, and he saying how it's an integral part of business these days. Ok, maybe doing it on TV is different, but it shows a flaw does exist in his presenting skills, and I actually don't think his answers were very good at the presentation. He seemed to be waffling and using a lot of cliches and I'm not sure that'll work for long.

He also did mess up on the selling to trade task, having given Jadine and Lohit a rubbish list of contacts and generally ambling around following Tre without providing any sort of direction or structure to the task.

My first reaction to Simon's win was 'he always picks the wrong one!'. Sir Alan mentioned at his age he didn't want to hold someone's hand anymore, just wanted them to get on with the job so why pick Simon over Kristina? I suppose the answer is there is a job lined up involved in property and Simon fits the bill for that - only time will tell.

I think Kristina was really gutted, unlike Badger who now looking back seemed a bit false and subsequently started her own consultancy business. Kristina wants to work and do well for a large company and would have done a good job for Sir Alan.

I think we're all missing the point! The guy must be shrewd otherwise he wouldn't have won. Sorry folks but if Kristina is as "shrewd" as we all thought she was why wasn't she crowned the Apprentice. Simon after all isn't stupid. Cambridge, Mensa, a Father and Grandfather who run VERY profitable businesses, with those qualifications and family background the guy must have some nouse!!
Parentage doesn't mean you acquire the same skills and his personal background doesn't show someone with a lot of nous at all. He can't even run a flat properly!

Exactly...his dad bought him that house to run as landlord and he can't even do that. My friend is in Mensa and has a 180 IQ. She works as an administrator. It don't mean sh!t.

Just remember...Michelle! SAS is a poor judge of character. Katie fooled him utterly.

Intelligence doesn't automatically equal ability.

Kristina seemed to have a balance of intellectual intelligence and emotional intelligence - I didnt see that, from the show, in Simon.

Simon's an incompetant fool, Kristina should definitely have won.

I cannot believe I watched the final over last night's Big Brother just to see that result

Simon will lose SAS loads of money and Kristina will do well elsewhere.

Awful. Just awful. I literally switched over when I realised that the job was Simon's. Another viewer lost. Thanks SAS.
