Did Margaret say that Ruth should have won the Apprentice or did I dream that ?

"Ruth should have won". She was very decisive about it, too. I have to say I absolutely agree with her on this one. Look what Michelle brought Sir Alan. Nothing but tabloidstories about her fling with Sayed. |

Nothing but tabloidstories about her fling with Sayed. In hindsight, due to Michelle leaving, of course Ruth should have won but if that had not happened, I think Michelle would have fitted in very well into his organisation |

Did anyone else notice how much weight James Max has gained.
![]() ![]() He was my favourite in that series, though, and I think it was another of Sir Alan's wrong decisions not to hire him, as he said he didn't need the job. I've warmed to The Badger more since she the show finished. I think she shot herself in the foot when she made her speech in the Boardroom. It was her worst moment in the show for me - she just came over as blushing, flustered and desperate. |

Surely Jo Cameron from S2 was more of a motor mouth than Paul Tulip? Jo didn't get any mention.

Omg, thank you!!!! ![]() Just watched Motor Mouths on iplayer, the memories. Good old Margaret - "Ruth should have won". I always thought James from series 1 was underated as well. |

James was very good, but got himself labelled as the a sort of nice-but-dim character, which is unfortunate because he had plenty of business smart I think.

Reading the posts in this thread it shows how good the final candidates in Series 1 were. I would have been happy if James, Saira, Miriam and even Paul had won, and wasn't disappointed that Tim was the overall winner.
Again it makes me wonder if in the series that have followed; the majority of the candidates are picked for "entertainment" and there are only 1 or 2 people who are genuinely in with a chance of winning.

I still think Katie Hopkins was awesome. If you ignore her pantomime-villain asides I reckon she was easily the most intelligent and capable candidate of S3.
Tre was just a bully - but being a bully is OK as long as you're funny with it. Kristina also reminded me that she was actually quite awful as a person, and I think if Katie hadn't been there she would have taken the role as Series B*tch. Definitely more deserving than Simon - but like she says, Sir Alan picks people based on whether they would "fit in", not whether they're the best. Saira reminded me of how awesome she was in S1. lol @ the megaphone. She looks fab now! |

Michelle was great at playing the "While struggling to survive at the age of 15, I had three jobs on the go." card.
When Alan asked if she looks after her brothers, she said 'they get what they want'. And that's what I think won it for her. |

God yes. Michelle did her hard-done-by story and batted her eyelashes and Sir Alan was totally taken in.

If she hadnt had the whole Malarky over the fling with Syed, then she would have been the perfect winner. She was an all-round good business woman, and very shrewed. Ruth admitted Michelle should have won.
In hindsight, due to Michelle leaving, of course Ruth should have won but if that had not happened, I think Michelle would have fitted in very well into his organisation Not sure why she left but apart from any personal issues there was the story that Michelle rightly saw it as a dud idea - which defeated the possibilities somewhat. |

I totally agree with the Paul, Sayed and Tre bit... but even the Katies have a place in it....
I hated ´Katie´ but loved the pantomime character she portrayed.... 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... ![]() You mean Jenny Celerier
