Lucinda- Lovely woman and makes me laugh but she's only there to wind people up with her hopelessness

Lindi- 24 hour customer helplines and personalised waiters make not an apprentice

Lee- Angry,selfish, unhhelpful

Kevin - Bar his 'expertise' on Italian cuisine he's a wet blancmange

Helene - Bullying, loud mouthed psyscho

Jenny- See above

Claire - See above and below

Alex- Slimy , snake like who tactic is to scapecoat rather than help the team

Michael- Do I need to say anything?

So we only have three relatively competent apprentices in Sara, Raef, Jennifer (and she's wallpaper)

I'd rather have a decent good competition than BB wannabees.

Not a great crop this year I agree the only point of continuing to watch is to see the most vile of the bunch - you know who you are - get their comeuppance.

Sara and Raef are the only two candidates so far to have shown winning potential, imo. I thought Simon did too, but I guess he just wasn't what SAS was looking for.

We really haven't seen anything from Jennifer yet. I think I may have under-estimated her, because a few people on this forum have mentioned how the initially quiet ones can turn out to be good candidates, and I think I'm leaning towards the opinion that Jennifer is one of those candidates. But the only words I have heard her speak so far were to say "I can sell pieces of paper for £50" and "I'm the top saleswoman in Europe", and also to make terrible negotiations in the laundry task, charging too high and then charging too low.

Raef is the only one who comes anywhere near the potential the Apprentice should have.

*can't believe I've just said that*

He's the best of a pretty bad and bitchy bunch IMO!!

Claire, Sara, Helene, Jennifer and Raef all seem strong candidates to me. Alex is the only no-hoper, and that because of his ethics rather than his talent.

I'm tempted to say try the spoiler at the bottom of the page and find out - as this was filmed four months ago there are only two people now who can win it.

I've come to the same conclusion as the OP.

At this stage, only Raef, Sara and Jennifer have shone.

Micheal will win I think , with either Raef or maybe Helene a close second.

I think Lee may have potential, we haven't seen much of him yet, but i think he could actually do well.
Michael also hasn't done much, and the whole selling the fish to the solicitors debacle was stupid,but he may be a dark horse. I think they both are.

I agree with most though that Raef and Sara seem like good choices, they are certainly the most likeable, but i think Claire and Alex might actually do well too. They may have shown themselves up to be arses, but i think they're intelligent and have business skills.

I'm almost convinced that one of the ones we're seeing as "quiet" atm, will rise up and become noticeable soon.

Oh God no..
They usually show the larger than life brass characters in the first few weeks to get the viewers in.. and then show the actual potential candidates in the latter. Notice how we haven't seen Raef since Week 2..

I think Lee or Michael stand a chance.
Sara will get close, I think Raef will slip up somewhere.

I don't think Lindi has been quiet. She's just not been shown this week. Plus Margaret described her as an "idiot" in an interview so there's no way she's making it to the final , lol

At the moment only Raef or Sara are feasible choices, although I don't like Sara.

The rest are either purely decoration, have a vile personality or are utterly helpless.

Mama 'B' is going to look at who will win in a different way. After Reading Simon's story in The Sunday Mirror (Check out the Newspaper articles and media interests thread).

Where Simon uses words like I think/worry/don't know/perceptive/clever. To me could be one of them among the top 4-not all of them though.'

Here is who I picked out:-

***Alex-'I think will win' Must 'learn not to sulk' etc. Stands a chance being in the last 4. I know he is a worm


***Sara- 'shrewed/clever'. This is one of my personal choice.

****Lee- 'I don't know if he has business skills'.Could be Apprentice material.

****Helene-'Best woman' Personally, I have not seen much but as we go on it could all unfold.

***Jennifer- 'Perceptive'. I have not seen much of her business acumen. But we could this week

***Raef- 'I worry that Sir Alan is looking for a different person' I personally think he could be among the top 4.

I do not know why I think win or lose Sir Alan might want to employ Raef-just a hunch.

I agree with most other people: Sara, Raef and Jennifer seem the only likely winners.

Still too early for me! Besides I have no faith in Suralan making the right choice after the past few years. I think I like Raef and Sara best, Raef in particular has been extremely quiet the past two weeks.

Okay , so I guess Helene is going to have an epiphany halfway through the show and become a saint

I think Helene will go quite far judging by all the interviews given by all involved.

Well he HAS to pick a toff at one point doesn't he...

Or does Simon count as one?

Weird bunch this year. I've been able to pick the potential winners in the previous years, but I"m hard pushed to pick a single worthy winner this year. Will have to wait a while to see if anyone shows potential. I think the backstabbing started a lot earlier this time too.

Yes, in a way Simon Ambrose last year's winner is. I do not think he has to pick a toff-but there is something about Raef that tells me he may want him to work for his company.

I may be wrong-just a hunch again
