I hope the Danny Dyer wanabees "all right luv, thanks guv'nor" all fall on their ass. I'm with the posh nerds on this one - At least they are funny. The other guys all love themselves so much you would think they are chocolate.
Time to bring them down a peg or two I think.

Who's categorized as the Cool and the Nerds?

I hate all the toffs.

I don't think we can jugde them all that quickly some of them had barely a couple of minutes on camera. Give it a couple of weeks at least...having said that I can't stand that Raif bloke already!

Posh Toffs - Raef, Kevin, Michael, Nicholas (Fired)

"Cool Guys" - Lee, Simon, Alex, Ian

I think Raef, Simon and Alex will get the furthest

the "geezers" are just irritating

I don't think the split was caused by class , but I'm with the "toffs" on this one. The geezers are all useless and they are sticking together which is totally ridiculous considering there is only one job.

I'm with the toffs. I thought Alex management skills were very limited (apparently since he has SOOOOO much experience in that field). Also thought he was a bit of a bully. Didn't like Nick in the main show but he came across very well in the You're Fired show.

Yep! Me too. The one who looked like he wanted to cry was really cute, though. Not Raef and not the one who got booted, the other one. Yummy!

I'm with the toffs too. I didn't like Alex and didn't like the way he sent others out to do stuff while he waited at the stall and didn't seem to be doing anything himself. And I noticed that most of the boys he sent away to do different tasks (like checking the girls' prices or selling fish to the lawyers) were the toffs, and if they made a mistake, Alex would keep going on and on about it. Plus, the toffs have been more entertaining.

Nicholas did dig his own grave though with his comments in the boardroom and also deserved to be fired, I think Alex would've got fired if Nicholas wasn't such a snob.

Surprisingly I'm with Alex. Michael's useless, going to a SOLICITORS to sell fish, and accepting under half the price of what they expected.

It's not just selling the fish in the solicitor's.

They should have split up and gone seperately not running around like a group of schoolkids. Once in the solicitor's they were never going to get more than £50 as the chap was negotiating in front of his staff and woud rather not buy than pay more.

Haha.... thought I would be the only one who fancied him!

Every year I get a big crush on one of The Apprentice contestants - think Michael could be this year's (quite like Greek blokes)!

Last year it was Simon for me. I need to hang about Canary Wharf a bit more to meet some of these fit rich fellas.

Ah, there we differ. I thought Simon was too much of a know-it-all geek to be attractive. And he had a girly laugh. And those green pants....

Micheal's not Greek though

I thought he may have been Jewish, but I really don't care, he's a cutey

I agree with you about Alex's management skills, they were sadly lacking considering that is his job. I also felt he bullied but he played clever with the 2 he brough back because he knew SAS would sack one of them as they were toffs.

I really warmed to Nick on Herat FM the flooowing morning,m he showed a quick sense of humour bantering with Harriet. He also said most of the boardroom dialogue was cut and it oly seemed to show his bad bits

Now he's probably the type of guy SAS would like to have on the Apprentice but, surprise, surprise the guy had a job and by the looks of it was very good at it. He made mincemeat out of those trying to "negotiate" with him.

*waves a "Negotiating Lawyer" to win banner*

First of all you can't be posh if you're called Kevin.
And secondly they're all knobs.

Frankly, I like both. They balance each other out. For example, My favourites are Reaf (Prince) and Simon (Pauper). Not that they are. But Reaf has brought a new dimension to the programme. And probably in process created a new reality show called " Prince Versus Pauper"

Of the girls I am leaning more towards Lucinda and Lindi.

Can't stand Alex hes a small fish in a big pond

I don't understand class. So called Posh blokes can be just as obsessed with football, lager and women as 'the commoners'. Class is all in the mind. Either someone's smart, well educated and competent or they're not.

The "class warfare thing" kinda hides the real issue. As I see it, the majority of the people who've gone onto Apprentice have 1st class degrees in this, that or whatever, or have ran a business or are running a business or whatever. But why does it have to be restricted to such a narrow set view?

I mean, wouldn't it have been great to have hired that guy who was on that Anne Widecombe show who was on "benefits" because the pay he was getting in a job was too low - this would have been a great chance for people like him to prove they weren't lazy or just wanted "benefits".

You could easily extend that to someone who never got any GCSEs, or perhaps even a homeless person (who obviousily wouldn't be revealed to be homeless until way, way into the series).

Sometimes I feel that the narrow field view of the apprentice gives the false impression that you need a degree to get ahead in business. Branson famousily never had a full compliment of GCSEs, and I'm pretty sure Sir Alan didn't get a degree until later on in his life.

Also, in the first show Sir Alan said that he had a converted house - for "posers like you", which seemed to me saying that Sir Alan has a chip on his shoulder for "toffs", or anyone who went to University, or maybe he just wanted to bring him down to his level.

And what's with the obsession with doing stuff that Sir Alan did when he was younger? It seems that the only way to win Sir Alan's trust/admiration (if he has any) is to do the tasks he did when he was growing up. Yes, I understand the point he's making, but to run the idea 2-3 epsiodes back-to-back... we get the point!

Sometimes, the Apprentice hasn't really learnt any lessons from the US version. They had a whole series of "book smarts vs street smarts" and had different themes/ideas for each series, whereas the UK version seems to be the same process each series.

Does anyone think that little blond chap looks like Joe 90?
