This lot have gone out of their way to undermine the PM; bearing that in mind if you were a finalist which 3 would you trust enough to have on your team?

My choice would be:

1. Raef
2. Lucinda
3. Lee

If you mean out of all the candidates:
1. Raef
2. Simon
3. Lucinda

If you mean out of those that remained:
1. Raef
2. Lucinda
3. Reluctantly Claire, because Lee would drive me batsh*t with his stupid noises.

Raef and Simon make a great team and I would add Jennifer Mc

1. Michael
2. Lindi
3. Kevin

But seriously, I would have the same as the OP. If we split up, Raef would come with me and Lee and Lucinda would be the sub-team, as they have a fantastic working relationship.

Out of all the candidates so yes you could have Simon. I did consider him because of how well he worked with Raef.


Michael, Lindi and Kevin that's GREAT first team!

Seriously, you thought the same way as I did, which is why I didn't choose Simon. If there were four then he would be my fourth choice.

My reason for picking Simon would be that he is, in his own words, a great no.2....I think he would work very hard to win the task for me, plus I could give him a task and leave him to knuckle down to it confident he would deliver.

Simon, Raef and Lucinda every time.

Lee, Sara and either Jenny M or Helene (shocker) would be back up, just in case my three first chosen were nabbed by the other finalist. I quite like Clare, but I couldn't trust her.

Raef, Lucinda and Claire.
