I still cannot for the life of me understand why SAS hired that wet blanket instead of Ruth....

I've just realised that all the "amazing" sales people didn't get the job!
Ruth, Saira, Kristina all went far but failed at the final hurdle.

But sadly SAS was suddenly smitten with Michelle. You could actually SEE it happen... and on the Adrian Chiles show where he introduced the winner you could see Alan was almost infatuated... If anyone lost the plot in that series it was Sir Sugar himself...

Michelle was great at playing the "While struggling to survive at the age of 15, I had three jobs on the go." card.

I´d forgotten how great The Badger actually was... She was a real apprentice and would have been great for Sir Alan.

Series 2 was probably the worst series for me. Not enough business in there IMO.

Paul Tulip? Never on a losing side. Got fired during the interview section because he didn't know what Amstrad actually did.

Wasn't he the one who shot himself in the foot over disparaging remarks about Big Issue sellers?
![]() The Badger was magnificent, that woman could sell anything to anyone, such a shame she lost out to Dewberry, although I still stand by the firing of Miriam in Series 1 being the biggest injustice ever. |

It was a harsh decision, but nowadays we all recognise that you have to be good in the boardroom to last, back then it was more of a shock because on paper Paul should have gone. |

I really enjoyed that tonight. Nick Hewer really doesn't like Katie, does he?

I ´hate´ Jenny Maguire and Claire Yound and Alex.... but I ´love´them and would not want to have a series without them... Love to hate them would be accurate...

![]() The Badger was magnificent, that woman could sell anything to anyone, such a shame she lost out to Dewberry, although I still stand by the firing of Miriam in Series 1 being the biggest injustice ever. ![]() *SAS has been quoted as saying it was a mistake to fire her. However, with hindsight I wonder if he hadn't fired her when he did whether it would have been more difficult to make Tim his Apprentice (as I sincerely believe SAS has made his mind up before the interview stage). When re-watching the final it was so obvious that Tim had won it before he had even got into the BR. If it had been Tim vs Miriam it would have been far more difficult to see the clear cut winner as both were very similar in personality and appeared to approach the tasks thinking of how the "team" could win, rather than how they good they were. I always say that Tim won the Apprentice for the time he stuck up for Sabastian (I think) against one of the stronger personalities who was trying to pass the buck! |

Definitely. Saira, Ruth, Kristina - all great and should have won but came second.
TBH, I can understand why all three women came second (especially after watching tonight's programme). Saira - Talking down to a Senior official at Spurs isn't going to bode well and where she lost it (imo). Ruth - I can remember the guys absolutely tearing her CV to shreads and thinking she's lost it now. Kristina - There was no way she was going to be the Apprentice after the incident with the sweets. Could SAS really have his company associated with that type of publicity once it had been aired? Finally, after tonight's programme I can't see anyone with a strong sales background winning. There seems to be something in their personalities that makes great TV but, not SAS's idea of an Apprentice. |
