You've been a fab candidate!

I salute you!

To one of the best candidates on the Apprentice , ever!

Going to miss you as you always made me smile Raef, loved your quirkiness

no!!!!!

the best candidate ever!!!!!

and the your fired show was by far the warmest reception i have seen for anyone

like the lady said i am shocked raef is gone and thought he would be final 2 material

I thought he was a complete tosser.

Too pompous and arrogant for my liking.

Maybe you could have saved that for another thread?

Maybe.

But every thread seems to be praising him so i was damned not matter what one i chose.

Gutted he's gone. Poor show by S'ralan. Sure Raef'll do well though.

Yeah, I'd have to put him up at the top of my list, after initially not rating him much the first week.

Has there even been a candidate who came up with more memorable quotes than Raef?


"I get on with prince or pauper"

"It's not like i labeled shark as hamster"

"This is grass roots negotiation; this is as dirty as it gets."

"Two fifty? TWO fifty? two FITFY? TWO HUNDRED AND FIFTY DIRHAM?"

"these people are size 16-32 for a reason... they love cake"

"Your like a rat...jumping off a sinking ship"

and most commendably of all...

"A decision has been made. Sir Alan has made it. We don't need to fire questions at her."

The Apprentice just won't be the same without him

So sorry to see him go

Tre in his column also calls it the wrong decision & points out several examples of Raef's strengths& good business sense which have won tasks

Someone lovely who has integrity, manners & can laugh at themselves is NOT the person to fire

He was a cock...

well, he certainly is better mannered than you anyway...

This has really made my blood boil.

One Lucinda gets fired (and I'm 99% certain she will with the way things are going) I'll stop watching and probably won't bother with the next series.

"When faced with a situation which would cause, you know, mere mortals to... to QUAKE, I don't!"

If Lucinda gets fired then it will be the first series where I have absolutely no respect for the finalists.

SAS made a huge point in the first series by saying TA was not BB yet here we are 3 series later and it's looking like BB's Little Brother!

Learn to start a sentence with a capital – then can you quote me.

Can you spell pedantic?

Well done!

Definitely the star of the show in my eyes

Just loved his VT at the end of YF

Well as said in another thread. This is by my OH who is NOT a apprentice watcher...only dips in and out...to quote

" he will do better out of his time on the apprentice and i dont care who wins.."

And its true...Royal Correspondant? Wine tasting .? Tea Tasting ...A Judge on the great british Menu..?.

Or the Hero in Jilly Coopers next novel...

I can see great thing to come for Raef...

Hes Better off that he didnt get to work for that back stabbing SAS......

For me this is a celebration of the man. He brought so much to this series-infact I would go on a limb here and say in the history of 'The Apprentice'.

He will be missed. But he is better out of the one-sided rat race. I am sure we will hear and see a lot more of him in future.

Yes, he got carried away with the ridiculous ad but he can laugh at himself.

Probably quite true, he certainly doesn't need the job, that's for sure...

I hope it's not the last we see of raef, but sadly only the media savvy apprentice contestants are seen again after being fired.
