In general order of preference:
Raef is a 24carat prick, but he's a likeable 24carat prick, and I do quite like him. He has a chance. He's certainly shown himself to be a true gentlemen on a couple of occasions, which is rare amongst a group of backstabbers like most of them are.
Lucinda intrigues me. If you watch the contestant intro video on the BBC website she actually describes herself as ruthless and calculating which isn't how she has come across on the show so far (through the magic of editing). If shes playing a game and pretending to be a victim then its a good one. She's certainly not stupid, lack of computer and IT skills notwithstanding. Most of all though, I simply like her fashion style, and I also like how she handled herself as PM. I'd love her to win, but I can't see it. A posh accent might be okay in Raef's case as far as SAS is concerned, but it won't do Lucinda any favours. I'm surprised (but pleased) she has stayed in it as long as she has.
Sara is the only other woman left in it who hasn't shown herself to be a complete b*tch. I like her too.
Lee McQueen is something of an enigma. Sometimes he's nice, and sometimes he's nasty. There's definately some kind off anger management problem somewhere there, but he clearly wants it, and if he can control his temper I might actually start to warm to him more.
Helene seemed completely missing in action last night. She's flying low under the radar at times, but does at least seem to get the job done without complaining too much. I think she'll make the final three at least.
Sir Alan clearly sees some potential in Claire, but I'm not sure what. She's no muppet and is obviously good at what she does as a retail buyer and salesperson, but she's not the kind of person I could work with - she's just too loud, in your face and irritating. I don't think SAS could work with her either. It's just a matter of time.
I think Sir Alan likes Alex too. He's rather like Jenny C and likes to see which way the wind is blowing in the boardroom before deciding who to shift the blame onto. He's not above lying to stay in the game, and his supposed good looks notwithstanding (look out for him in a fashion shoot in Heat magazine sometime soon!), Sir Alan would do well to ditch him quick next time he has the chance in the boardroom otherwise Alex might just make it to the last three and that would be a travesty.
Margaret called Michael a waste of space, and I have to agree with her. Him and Lindi are an item and have been photographed out on the town together. They deserve each other. I don't like Michael at all. He should have been fired last night for the cheating thing alone, let alone chickengate. I'd have shown him and Jenny C the door sharpish for that trick. His cards are surely marked.
