Her teams have lost despite her rather than because of her. When she is the leader herself, she wins.”

I don't think kevin would have won because the idea was flawed. I don't think that Raef would have won the task if they included the shots. They all missed the point of the tissues being antibacterial even Claire. She was good at the pitch but her performance was poor in the last task being the most experienced in marketing out f the seven candidates. I don't think that Sara would have listened to Claire even if she knew that Claire was right. Sara said in post-firing interviews that she is a strict Muslim. She would not have been able to cook some of the elements of the english breakfast.

However, I agree with your main point. Claire is often right. Less mistakes would have been made, had PMs listened to her advice.

Do you think Michael is in the same position - too many previous run-ins with SAS?

Um...

Chantelle is from Essex. If we are talking about the same Chantelle, of course.

Think he means Chanelle, not Chantelle.

It just occurred to me, Miriam Staley was a decent candidate, I wonder if she could have been a finalist on a different Apprentice series?

Claire has now reached the level achieved by Ruth, perhaps she can go a step further and win.
