Scuse me pal, both myself and Sid defended her against that very thing!

I think Claire is very good. She has a salesman acumen.

It will be interesting to see her next week.

She's not as good as Bager in that (SPOILER)

No way is she the best since the Badger but she's not as bad as some make out.

Claire has done really well these past couple of weeks. She seems to have changed for the better.
But she was dire as a project manager and was incredibly lucky to escape the boardroom.
hopefully i think we saw the final four in that group

shes quite good but that awful voice.i have warmed to her slightly and i think she may make the final 4 BUT shes nowhere near as good as the badger.the badger is the best female apprentice contestant EVER.
clare doesnt have her charisma or dry wit.

Isn't that what Book-Club_Babe was getting at?

Well, she did win both her times as PM, I don't think twice is lucky

Very true, but did she bitch or moan that they didn't go with her choice. No, she went with the consensus of the team and got stuck in selling the dresses. So all this guff that she tries to bitch, moan and shout down the PM every task if just BS.

Since SAS ripped her a new one, she has changed a lot; sadly some people can't see this as they are blinded by what she was like before.

Ruth Badger was just an automoton.

She had no Business know how and got to the final by pulling a fast one on Sayid. Useless.

For the first time ever this week, I actually li.. li.. lik..

I can't say it. But I do admit that Claire did a great job.

But almost every other week she's been awful. We'll have to wait and see if she goes back to being as annoying and as stupid she was before. And she's nowhere near the best Apprentice candidate, she's not even the best in this series.

I preferred Simon to Claire! What a decent guy, I was cross with Claire for not being better on that task as the go-between and helping Simon to win. Whilst I appreciate he should have gone to the back room on that photography task, he didn't because he wanted to prove to Sir Alan that he could control things out front. He had a lot to prove and she let him down. I went off her there and then.

Claire has been better of late, but she let herself down early on.

I'm not convinced that she can survive another appearance in the boardroom between now and the final.

He was trying to persuade Lucinda (who had an open mind), and Claire was listening and was persuaded by his reasoning too (despite starting from the opposite position). Raef seemed a bit surprised when he realised she'd switched. The bottom line is that Raef was right and Claire is smart enough to realise it.

Ruth is over-rated. She was a good saleswoman - better than Claire - and not much else. She lost when she was team leader on the Ad by sending her team in the wrong direction. (She was quite nasty in the boardroom on that occasion, too - worse than Claire.) As I am forever pointing out, Ruth only won tasks if Michelle was on her team. Whenever Ruth was on the opposite team to Michelle, Michelle won.

Claire is by far the strongest candidate. She's done well in every task, and has only done badly when someone else is team leader and can't take her advice.

Claire is the one person left who I think deserves the chance to be the Apprentice. Ruth should have won, but Alan got his fingers burnt there. Claire is a beautiful, sexy woman and I would love to work with her. And she's probably not a bad boss either. And being headstrong is not a reason to call her a bully. If she disagrees, she speaks up. She's not there to make friends (well, none of them are) and I say 'Go Claire'!

If you think Claire is beautiful and sexy then you need to get out more, or take a holiday without holiday reps.

Claire is just a brassy bossy cow who thinks her opinion is more valid than anyone else's when in reality she is just a twerp.
The badger was a good businesswoman.

claire definitely redeemed herself this week imo.

but for me the damage is done. she's only changed this week as she can smell the finishing line and has altered her tactics to maximise her chance of being in it.

she also has the most irritating voice since michelle dewberry.


The Badger's my all time favourite apprentice. She was the winner that never was.

What's wrong with the Yorkshire accent?

There's no need to criticise my choice on who I think is sexy and beautiful. How would you like it if I slated whichever Apprentice contestant you found good looking?

That rugby player liked her well enough.

Claire's from London, not Yorkshire.

Thats why she described herself as a 'northern' girl? And why that Digital Spy article said her home town was Wakefield.

Helene's from Wakefield, official site says Claire's home town is Tooting, London.

She definitely sounds like she's from London to me, I could tell Helene was from Yorkshire straight away.
