Can't understand how just about everyone who's posted thinks Alex will be in the final. Clearly useless contender imo.

Simon
Helene
Sara
Raef
Jennifer

These are easily the best candidates. Some of them will probably just get screwed over for making one mistake that gets completely blown out of proportion, as was the case with Shazia getting fired - which means we'll probably have a w*nker or two like Lee or Jenny making is to the top.

The final 5 are clearly

Helene, Alex, Michael, Lucinda and Claire

Everyone else has heavy evidence stacked against them.

Raef, Michael, Lucinda, Lee and Alex all make it to week 9 but Raef is appearing on the weakest link. Through Nick and Margaret's comments, you can tell Helene gets far.

Alex, Claire, Lucinda, Helene, Raef

Helene, Lucinda, Raef, Alex, Lee

Revised:

Helene
Lucinda
Raef
Sara
Claire

They're probably try and balance out the boy/girl divide but imo Lee, Alex and Michael are all useless and/or obnoxious.

I think :

Alex
Raef
Lucinda
Helene
Sara/Claire (the latter being most likely)

Raef
Alex
Sara
Lucinda
Helene

Raef
Alex
Michael
Helene
Claire

In order, my prediction is:

1st Raef
2nd Helene
3rd Michael
4th Sara
5th Lucinda

On the basis of who I think will impress the interviewers the most and who Sir Alan has most been impressed by overall.

However, if it were a popularity contest, the results would be completely different.

LOL, this is a great "spoiler"

Oh yes! Still there

I think Alex, will get through over Michael, but other than that I think you've the right 5 chosen, not sure about the order.

Lindi? In the final?

After the first week I thought she walked into the wrong show!

Sarah
Raef
Claire
Alex
....
Lucinda, Lee, or Helene, hmmm.

I will go with Lucinda.

OK, she has gone already (and rightly so) but why Lindi? I'm confused.

Final Five should be - Raef Helene Lucinda Sara and Alex

I think Beer is right.
It will be those 5, or Sara will be swapped with Claire

If you work from the point of view of who is left and the type of person who Siralan has appointed in the previous seasons Im left with the very underwelming possibility it could be between Michael & Alex.

Now I know that this series has probably had the poorest bunch of all but the only person I would have any confidence in running my company would be Raef.

I just cannot see Siralan appointing him.

A woman will win.

That rules Claire out then

I think it will be

Clare
Alex
Lee
Lucinda
Raef

I think Helene and Alex are definetely in the top 5 , the other 3 places are all up for grabs by anyone.

I think it'll be...
Clare
Lucinda
Raef
Helene
Lee

But i'd prefer to see Sara there that Lee

Do not look if you do not want to know the actual top 5
