I can just feel it... Sir Alan blatantly favours him. Besides, he is the only candidate who will reduce himself to grovelling in the boardroom.
It's a shame really, but I can't really be bothered with the show anymore, as all my favourite candidates have been fired. It's not worth it anymore.

I don't

no chance

He's rubbish at everything.

Aww, I know it's tough this year...my two favorites (Simon and Raef) have gone, and other than Lucinda I don't like the other candidates left at all.

As for Michael ......

That'll never happen! No way,no how. Not even SAS thinks the sniveling little whiny-voiced creature was enough like him as a youngster to take a much publicised punt on him!

Sir Alan chooses who wins something like a week before the final show is broadcast, so I really doubt, if he's been watching, that he'll employ Michael.

If Sir Alan has to base his final opinion on viewing the edited highlights, it does make me wonder about him!

Hopefully, your reference to 'watching' Michael doesn't refer to Sir Alan being so utterly deluded as to have thought Michael was actually capable of doing the job. I'd rather give the responsibility of property portfolio management (or whatever the rumours are re the job are) to my cat than to Michael. At least the cat would just sit back and allow the portfolio to track the market rather than try to prove how clever he was by hedging ion the wrong flipping direction!!

I don't. Sir Alan wouldn't employ anyone like that in his organisation. I've got the feeling SAS is saving something huge up for him so he gets his comeuppence for his lies and deceit.

Michael might (just might) make it to the final four and if he does then the hint has already been made that his CV appears to be a slight exaggeration of the truth anyway.

Let him get to the final four and then be disliked by everybody. That'll do me.

Michael will be repreieved for long enough to be be torn to shreds and fed to the dogs by Siralan's interviewing henchmen. If he can tell half truths about his religion what else has he been economical with the facts about?

OMG he will get eaten alive

We can but hope. I love the interviews. It really does sort out the "men from the boys".

And Michael is definitely a boy.

Well I maybe wrong here but the trailer for the next programme shows that Michael is paired with Claire & Helene which would be intresting.

We all have our favourite's but it is a apprentice he is looking for so it boils down to two or three.
Raef was never going to win as he did not need the job and could do well in a high flying bussness or set up on his own.
I do not doubt that someone like UKTV will look at Claire & find a role for her.
Lucinda may not fit in SAS plans so it is down to Alex, Helene & Michael.

he doesnt win - he will be fired shortly

He will be fired next week.

If Michael wins I will eat 'the hamster'.

If he wins I'm not watching the next series.

Lee's gonna win , I think. Especially with the Lee pimping on YF.

Lee is almost as ridiculous as Michael. A real embarrassment.

Don't you ever put Michael and win (in this years apprentice) in the same sentence lol

Did Sir Alan not see him say
"I can fake passion in the board room"

Then immediately after that, Sir Alan gave him a second chance

So he is dishonest, cheats and fakes passion for the job

That will be what he takes to Sir Alans company.

Well, it serves Sir Alan right

Na. Sir ALan knows he's rubbish. Why hasn't he fired him then?
- for TV value?
- giving him a chance to redeem himself (even if knowing he prob can't)?
- because he is Sir Alan!?

There's a Michael type 'bad boy' in every series (let's face it, The Apprentice is now cast just as you would a soap opera), they always stay till near the end because they're good tv but they never win.

Ultimately the winner will be representing Sir Alan Sugar and while he might allow these jokers to muck about on camera he isn't going to let them operate for him in a genuine business scenario.
